August 25, 201510 yr we have a retiring soon speculation thread, the actual retiring thread, but there is no "why won't this set die!!!" threadI have 4 girls, so started early foolish time investing with the Friends line.can I include the entire friends line as well as the princess stuff ( see DC and Cindy castle)?I still see series 3 mixels and series 12 minifigures everywherethe minecraft microworlds I thought would die last xmas, but the forest and end keep their never ending supply going.besides the usual suspects (TB and DS) what haunts you?
August 25, 201510 yr I think Arctic Batman and Lex Luthor Battlesuit fit into this category pre retirement. Eco-Suit must fit into this category now.
August 25, 201510 yr Architecture wait times can be tough to stomach - White House and Brandenburg Gate need to be culled...
August 25, 201510 yr My list:PS, T1, 60008 Museum Break-in, 70803 Cloud Cuckoo Palace, 70816 Benny SSSBut the most important one is 10249 Winter Toy Shop. It died but it will be resurrected. Can't it just die before it gets launched? Please?

August 25, 201510 yr Add WVM too, back to msrp at amazonApparently it was a relatively small amount. Thank goodness
August 25, 201510 yr TB, PS, 10240, T1 camper, PC, DS.if they continue resurrecting old sets, I would love a 5000+ piece MF and a Grand Carousel!
August 25, 201510 yr TB, PS, 10240, T1 camper, PC, DS.if they continue resurrecting old sets, I would love a 5000+ piece MF and a Grand Carousel!If they continue resurrecting sets you can count on TB, PS, 10240, T1 camper, PC, DS & for good measure HH, SSD, TH & GE...
August 25, 201510 yr If they continue resurrecting sets you can count on TB, PS, 10240, T1 camper, PC, DS & for good measure HH, SSD, TH & GE...well, I'm a collector first and foremost. I joined this party very very late, so selfishly if it kills the resale market, I don't mind at all. I just want those sets!!
August 25, 201510 yr Architecture wait times can be tough to stomach - White House and Brandenburg Gate need to be culled...Space Needle too! Volkswagen T1 #1 on my list.

August 25, 201510 yr My shelving units tell me that T1 in #1 on the list, with Tower Bridge right behind. Until yesterday I would have said WV Market. Death Star being the oldest living set will make it an obvious, popular choice, but since I only have a couple and will stay that way I quit worrying about what that set was doing some time ago. 10240 is another that I personally would like to see die, but it's really not THAT old yet compared to sets like Pet Shop, T1 and Tower Bridge.
August 25, 201510 yr Lone Ranger - silver mine shootout: still on sale everywhere & no one's buying even at 50% off.
August 25, 201510 yr PS, please Zeus, PS!Any rumor of a new modular? I fear PS will stay with us into 2016...
August 25, 201510 yr Lone Ranger - silver mine shootout: still on sale everywhere & no one's buying even at 50% off. Wow, I just checked where your location was and I'm baffled!
August 25, 201510 yr Wow, I just checked where your location was and I'm baffled! Capitol city eh?... everyone's baffled 'round here - I think they pump something into the air from parliament hill.
August 28, 201510 yr I'm sure this is redundant and most probably feel the same but I seriously honestly want the Death Star to just die. I'm tired of looking at it, tired of hearing about it, so for the love of Yoda and everything The Force, just die. Please.
January 9, 201610 yr 16 minutes ago, justapilgrim said: DC plz Is that Dolphin Cruiser? If so, I have a couple of those and I would also like that to go away. It says "sold out" and I'm seeing less in the wild, but they are still out there a bit. Not sure of potential on anything Friends and I have a few sets I wish I hadn't bought but the DC could do somewhat OK I suppose.
January 9, 201610 yr Author Yes, and I still see them everywhere. Honestly I have seen all the princess stuff clearanced, the elf line, shopping malls, the works.....and DC sits there at MSRP
January 9, 201610 yr There´s been a few deaths recently but I think Pet Shop has to be the one that people have most tied up in and hasn´t gone. I don´t count T1 as the minivan was itself in production for about 681 years so it has a way to go yet.
November 13, 20169 yr Well, this thread should be pretty cleaned up by the end of they year assuming that PS and WH go, as suggested. The oldest sets would then become Tower Bridge and VW T1 and then there would be quite a gap to Palace Cinemas it was only a 2013 release. I think we will stil have another year to go on those three sets but then things would get interesting.

I have 4 girls, so started early foolish time investing with the Friends line.
can I include the entire friends line as well as the princess stuff ( see DC and Cindy castle)?
I still see series 3 mixels and series 12 minifigures everywhere
the minecraft microworlds I thought would die last xmas, but the forest and end keep their never ending supply going.
besides the usual suspects (TB and DS) what haunts you?
