there's this event coming up that caues this, if only I could think of it...  Lots of sets will be doing this and some already have been for weeks.

Yes totally, just surprised it's potentially retired and sold out now given that the various retirement 'schedules' suggested this set would be around till July 2026 or 'end 2026' 

All sets put on sale do not necessarily retire.

So is it done for good, or going to come back in stock again in the new year? I got to my local store about 5 minutes after opening and they were already sold out as well. Manager didn't think it was gone for good and expects it to come back, but that was based solely on knowing it was supposed to retire at the end of 2025. 

Bummed to have missed this one if its gone for good, should have stayed up until midnight! 

Has there ever been a early retirement for an exclusive? I looked through the worlds lego sites. Only USA shows sold out. everwhere else is backorder at lesast the ones I checked
