...or with alternative facts like the two Simpsons exclusives retiring end of 2016.

emazers could still be right.  there might be such an incredible dearth of demand for the simpsons that stock is just   l  i  n  g  e  r  i  n  g .   .  .  someone volunteer to order a simpson's house from shop at home and report back the seal codes.  going off thread rails here in at-st world ...

Picked up a Simpsons House using eBay bucks last week and it has 13R7 seals.  Definitely still fresh ones being cranked out.

Out of stock, to back order.

Now sold out.

No worries, the bottom feeders are already out in force on Ebay with this one at up to 50% off.

I'd suspect this is by far the most popular Rogue One set, and it's just oversold more than the Lego group predicted.  So, I suspect that is what happened here.  Reminds me a bit of Poe's X-wing, and now that thing is so easily available I regret stocking it when it was more limited. 

Plus, Emazers has yet to be wrong when he whips out his wholesale order catalogue to whip down the speculation.

He was wrong about The Simpsons.....

I´d say this set sells better in the US as you have a great price point, here it´s over 50 euros so the U Wing and Krennic´s are maybe more popular.

i thought that was based on something the set designer said to a group of sellers at some toy show or something.   i don't believe it was related to the catalog though certainly it would be useful to know if Simpsons is in the 2017 wholesale catalog...

I'm pretty sure he said it was out of the catalog for this year and was therefore done. I'll try to find a link.

I'd be shocked if this one goes this quickly.  I think we could see a couple Rogue One sets go away by december, but I just dont think it's time to pop out Bonderas gif, just yet.

I'd expect some of the winter wave to retire first, if tfa is any indication. We'll see duel, yodas fighter and a couple others how out first. Honestly, I am surprised any force awakens wave 1 are still alive.

For me, my last AT-ST was 7127, so this was a huge improvement. I like it. I want more of them.

tesco uk dropped this to 50% yesterday, went oos quickly

What is everyone's thoughts on this one? Think it goes into 2018?

It's done IMO, been out of stock in the UK for 2 months amongst the major retailers. Only third party sellers on those platforms have them. When Tesco remove the 'request stock' alert from the listing, it's usually a sign that it's finished.

Can't understand why they are retiring this after just one year. It has sold well, and it has collector appeal since it's an OT vehicle (Rogue One figures notwithstanding). 

It is back in stock at the online store

Just picked up one of these for £33, selling for around £60 on eBay at the moment. Not sure if I should hold onto this due to the Last Jedi version being so bad.

That's exactly why you should hold this one. TLJ one is horrid!

I would wait. Unlikely to be remade soon, short life span, popular OT vehicle. That is pounds in the bank good sir
