The moc and the diner itself look like friends sets. The ugliest modular by a wide margin. 

Anyone who lives in the US has seen their share of the old school 50’s retro diners. Lego designers were obviously inspired by that and got it spot on. The colors are right.

It’s an easy Star Wars MOC for the best movie in the series.

Well, wahddya know

I noticed this is tagged as "hard to find" on LEGO SAH UK. Does that mean anything? For comparison, pretty much all of the modulars are similarly tagged, except for Assembly Square.

Means nothing. They usually tag expensive exclusives with this. Could possible stand for 'Hard to find enough money to pay for it'

They do this with most direct to consumer (D2C) sets. It's hard to find because they don't stock them on shelves except LEGO retail stores (and previously TRU). Most big retailers carry them online though (Walmart, Amazon, Target). 

Diner I ordered from LEGO Shop at Home in August just shipped. Could be coming back into stock there for one last run (hopefully)

They're still making these. I just bought a bunch last week, seal codes are all recent...

Just don't buy this set please, do me a favor!

yum yum more diners....

FYI In stock again at LEGO Shop at Home. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/downtown-diner-10260

Everybody & their grandma bought it already. There goes a 10251/10246 Scenario. They just cranked out too much.

I agree and stopped buying them during the summer.  I think if things stay or tend back to normal the returns will be like other modulars have trended.  But heading into flu season it could very well spike up again.

Maybe it will be one of the discounted sets come Black Friday.

I'm sure it will be from LEGO Shop at Home:

30% off no limit...a big F.U. to resellers that have been hoarding at RRP

I'll be happy if it's around for the holiday promos. Black Friday would be even sweeter. Those only last a couple minutes anyways.

makes no sense...on any level

if re-releasing modulars was ever a plan...why Diner out of so many better possibilities?

if it's laziness (logistical efficiency)...ie re-releasing a set that they can readily produce...but then why even retire it? it's not like LEGO made any kind of binding "promise"..and ofcourse plenty of examples of reneging on "hard to find" retiring soon" labels. This is not like the Saturn V which was brought back due to "popularity"...I don;t think that was ever "the plan" prior to Saturn's retirement.

The ONLY reason I can think of is a strategic offensive against resellers

Heard it from another source but can't share it, sorry. I very much hope it's not true, just like I said I am not sure of it.

want to see if anyone on this forum will concur this
