March 15, 201312 yr I haven't been able to find the Post Office for anything less than $95.00. Where are they cheap? MSRP on this was $70.
March 15, 201312 yr I am still trying to get my mind around this and wondering if maybe something isn't right on LEGO Shop at Home or perhaps it will be re-released next Christmas. The post office is selling cheap right now and the bakery is fetching a good return. Yeah I'm wondering the same. If things stand correct I'm not sure why Lego would do this unless of course the Post Office wasn't selling well. I would think it would sell well though, it's a cool Christmas set that comes with a lot of detailed minifigs, a building, pavilion, and vehicle. I'm still very puzzled by all of this but I guess we will find out this Oct/Nov when we see what Lego gives us as far as the holiday sets.
March 15, 201312 yr Yup it's a big surprise for the 10222 Post office. But if you have the chance ****** a few more at your local store before they become extinct :)
March 15, 201312 yr Every lego store I went to had a pile or two of them at 20% off, so I grabbed one for myself at $55, if I had known that would be it, I would have bought them all. I have seen them going for $80 or so, maybe its up to $95 now, I haven't checked in a couple weeks. This was nothing unusual though, last year, they had the bakery and toy store at 20% off as well in pretty massive numbers.
March 15, 201312 yr I have to laugh at the last minute scrambling we all do when we find something has gone EOL
March 22, 201312 yr Stupid question: how do you know if a set is EOL? Going to LEGO Shop at Home and trying to buy it?
March 22, 201312 yr Stupid question: how do you know if a set is EOL? Going to S@H and trying to buy it?you can't put an exact date on it but when it slowly starts dissapearing from sites would be a good indication. Some sets seem to linger for quite some time after EOL......the imperial shuttle for one and the maersk train for another. People are still finding these sets at very close to MSRP. Now this being the internet you have to take everything with a grain of salt, you have been around for a while so I'm sure you know that.
March 22, 201312 yr I don't think there's a certain way to find that out before the set gets the label "RETIRED" at LEGO Shop at Home.

Now this being the internet you have to take everything with a grain of salt, you have been around for a while so I'm sure you know that. example: if i search in lego shop the 10212 IS, the answer is "Sorry, we did not find results for 10212" this means that is EOL? I explain better: i don't want to know when a set WILL be EOL but if a set IS EOL thanks...and sorry beacuse I don't speak/write english weel
March 23, 201312 yr Do a search for retired at LEGO Shop at Home It doesn't bring up every retired set but brings up recent ones
March 23, 201312 yr I did not have much luck searching for retired. However, when I did search on the left side of the screen, very bottom (product details), you can check the box and they will show you 27 retired, or soon to be retired, sets.

Did you want to know about a specific set or just in general?
