Camel camel camel is three words. Your math is getting rusty. You should buy 9540 set...

u missed It .

I need to move that junk before Amazon charges me a good chunk of change .

I have no red 5 other than the one we built. I will not be investing in this one. Have at it folks.

Got 4 of these for essentially 140 using the initial 15% tru card discount and gift card stacking. Will sit on these for a year or two.

Back in stock @ EU shop at home.

I'm not sure if its been mentioned in this thread already or not, but it would probably make some sense for them to keep Red Five production alive long enough to have some sales overlap with the forthcoming TIE UCS set.  Those two would compliment each other VERY well, and the ability to buy both at the same time would surely have massive appeal.

Makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, it never seems to work out that way.

 

"Surely the Haunted House will be around through October..."

 

"They won't retire R2 before the new movies..."

 

"The Pet Shop will go before Town Hall..."

 

TLG operates by it's own logic.

Yet none of those sets you mentioned is technically retired.  TLG could just start producing any one of those sets today. Now that would be #chaos

retired tag is a death certificate.

death certificates are issued many hours after the actual death.

Didn't you read the part where TLG can do (and have done) whatever they want ?

Anybody who is still thinking that HH isn't retired is living in fantasy land regardless of the slight amount of unpredictability that has crept into TLG's retirement habits.

Yes, and I have a mail from Lego when they cancelled my order saying it is no longer available to prove it! EOL is end of line and the line has ended - until a new line starts!

 

If it returns next winter they will be getting a letter from me requesting they fulfill my order at the sale price.

 

Being serious, it

Ordered yesterday on LEGO Shop at Home (Aus) it said "Out if stock expected ship date NULL" but it shipped today. Now saying ship date Feb 5.

Thansk for validating my point which is that the only way you can

Yay! Sorry for my bad wording, I express myself better with bricks.

Nothing is set in stone. However the increase in probability of any set being retired/retiring soon is signaled by 'Sold Out', etc. Is it 100%? No. This is another stochastic factor in investment. Learn to think in probabilities and expected values instead of trying to be perfectly sure of events. When the cat is already out of the bag you are too late, the market has already moved to the new equilibrium and diminished the ex ante profit. 

So if the probability (by subjective assessment) is high enough just buy the set instead of freaking out multiple times about the small chance of being wrong. On average it will work out very well. If you find yourself being on the wrong end of the stick in the end then the optimal portfolio you are supposed to manage saves your ass. That's why people buy multiple types, to eliminate the individual risks. 

So if anybody invested most of his/her fortune in a single set which came back/remained on the market for an unexpectedly long time and got kicked in the balls then I can say it was well deserved.

No thanks...I prefer to live in the land of reality where I don't waste time or energy wishing and hoping for what I know isn't going to happen.
