Did anyone else notice the "MANY RETIRING SOON" wording on pg. 39 of the US 2018 Holiday catalog? What does everyone think it means? The sets listed on pages 38 & 39 are below:

41152 Sleeping Beauty Castle - relatively new but there is another Disney castle play set

10247 Ferris Wheel - already confirmed to be retiring soon?

10246 Detectives Office - already confirmed to be retiring soon?

75060 Slave I - not retiring?

75205 Mos Eisley Cantina - very new

31080 Modular Winter Vacation - pretty new

42056 Porsche - already confirmed to be retiring soon?

21312 - Women of Nasa - ????

60110 Fire Station - probably retiring soon?

10405 Mission to Mars - pretty new

41324 Snow Resort Ski Lift - probably retiring soon?

21144 The Farm Cottage - probably retiring soon?

Most of the sets are expected for retiring (slave, porsche, ferris), some are a suprise (detective office). Are there also other exclusive sets notices as retiring soon? Other modular, or UCS set?

Great sets for your wish list, many retiring soon.

my take on the wording is not all the sets listed are retiring, only part of them. could be wrong tho

item means those are all retiring...  just like last year they gave some of them out in the catalog as well.  Remember Ferrari and the short run Two Face among aothers.

US reseller scum all got the catalogue as FW and DO are both now out of stock at US SAH....

I got my catalog today and the first thing I noticed was the recycled paper it was printed on and how the luster that really made the sets pop no longer exists. That new Capital city Set looks nice will have to pick that up at TRU on BF ?

Probably harder to flip the pages with certain appendages...

They're cutting corners with set quality so why not catalogs catalogues?

Ugh, I hate to admit this, but I just built a Winter Village Cottage. Had two tiles break on me.

Edit: Why are you spelling catalog wrong?

The US spelling is cutting corners.

Because I spelled it using the Queen's English ?

Flavour

Colour

Tyre

Aluminium (I once had a gun pointed at me in Houston for arguing about this one!)

Arse

The most common of all.... LEGOS

Also the maker of the F-Type is pronounced Jag-you-uh, NOT Jag-waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar ?
