If one reviews previous catalogs (and yes, you can access these), you will usually find sets that begin to be phased out omitted from the quarterly catalog.   So, if lego were doing a major retail push for the holiday season, why omit obviously one of their strongest sellers from this year, unless of course they are being phased out because they were a short run?  Makes little sense.

I know my little boy loves receiving these catalogs in the mail and scours through them.  Surely, they could have made a 1 page spread, or even a half page dedicated to JW if they were going to be around in mass for the holidays.  But hey, i'm just trying to think about this logically.

There are plenty of threads and posts here that prove catalog items mean nothing. Items not in catalog that stick around, items in catalog that retire. Whether it makes sense or not that is how it is.

 

"But hey, i'm just trying to think about this logically."

Why? That assumes TLG uses the same logic as you.

My local toys r us restocked with I think two to four of the small sets four or five of the t rex tracker and two of the indominus rex.

I don't believe in "nothing".  Even the Avengers sets got in at least two catalogs.  You think they sold better than Jurassic World?  I don't. 

Yeah, sure sets like Droid Gunship haven't been in a few catalogs, and it sticks around because not many people want it.   Death Star was in last catalog, yet is absent in this one?  Anyway, whatever, I don't need to convince you of anything Marx.

Jurassic World possibly might have a short licensing period? Would not be so unthinkable in my opinion.

Me, except some exceptions, concerning Star Wars I only invest in OT. The new movie, if good, may widen my interest.

These will be great winter flips provided kids haven´t moved on to something new by then and SW fever hasn´t swamped everyone.

At TRU now. Got restock of everyone but RE IRex. Buying 2 RR. Seal codes 29R5. That new?

Ha, my nephews think Jurassic World is great, but I bet by Christmas they have little interest in most of the merchandise.  They wanted it when they first saw the movie.

There will be another spike in interest once the new blue ray/DVDs comes out in the fall.  Otherwise, it will be a long term hold.

movie back out this weekend in Imax 3D for 1 week only should spark some interest this weekend

LEGO store restocked all but both Raptor sets and very good quantities including IR

Thanks for the share...

And gone again.  I was able to get an order in before the poof.

I thought I had an order in but no confirmation.

It's back

It's back

Thanks. A little peculiar that it's coming back with limit 5 and not 2, no?

It's been a limit of 5. There is a good possibility of further restocks down the line. May be limited, but I don't think it's done yet.

It's just a little throw away set.  No need to bother.

Was at least able to get this set finally as I took a nice summer break.

With all of  these new orders, I am afraid my backorder from 8/12 is not going to be fulfilled.  They still do LIFO right ?

Ugh, don't remind me.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion , no need for personal jabs .

totally agree! It's 6:00am on the west coast and wayyyy too early for this kind of animosity. Chill out guys.

Just a quick heads up - people are allowed to speculate all they want anywhere in the forums as long as they are respectful.  Name calling will result in post removal.

Feel free to continue the catalog debate...
