July 24, 201411 yr ... P.S. please don't ask what my seal code is because I have no clue what it even means anyway. I only want to know whether 4204s were made during this year. no other way to know, right?
July 24, 201411 yr I only want to know whether 4204s were made during this year. no other way to know, right? As any seasoned naysayer would say - that information is totally irrelevant
July 24, 201411 yr As any seasoned naysayer would say - that information is totally irrelevant the naysayers are correct about seal codes most of the time. this is one of the two times i know of that seal codes would be helpful. if 4204s weren't made during this yr, it's nearly certain to "retire" sooner than later even if Lego pulls a TRU - MF Vamp Castle move. note: the other time knowing a seal code would be helpful is if sets were changed to correct an error (e.g. some GEs didn't include the 3rd elements, MFs stopped producing "glow in the dark" stickers in some sets)

BTW, rovers at TRU were kinda briefly showing in for a few seconds today. I was able to get one eventually. But then +$7.99 shipping of course.... and full expectation of a pancake
July 28, 201411 yr i just think 10214 is finally going to sunset later this yr. i'm prob wrong but do really wish people would start buying up this set like 10221 SSD and 10211 GEs so we can see how shop@home behaves. hope this is the beginning. still 'allowed' to order up to 5.

July 30, 201411 yr Stumbled upon Lego message boards... wow, lots of hate for Simpsons. Lego didn't even dare to create separate section for Simpsons in the message boards... I am thinking there is no way Lego will continue Simpsons line, given the controversy.
July 30, 201411 yr What controversy? Well, it started here https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGO-General/SAY-NO-TO-LEGO-SIMPSONS/td-p/5291968 Got locked, but the same thing keeps popping up everywhere. Peoples do petitions and angry letters and stuff. Might buy some more Simpson houses and send few more even angrier letters and flame a few topics in random boards. For sure gets retired...

People need to get a life...
July 30, 201411 yr The controversy is old and remains to this day. Alas, I do not think the Lego Simpsons universe will be expanding and it will go away. It is an interesting investment thought though. I don't like the Simpsons show personally, but if this EOL's soon will that make the house worth a lot to the people who are Simpson's followers?

Wow, what a bunch of losers!
July 31, 201411 yr This 'controversy' reminds me of how all the schools were flipping out about Bart Simpson "Don't have a cow, man" t-shirts when I was a kid. If you had Simpson's anything in school they'd send you home to change or confiscate it.

I am thinking there is no way Lego will continue Simpsons line, given the controversy.With or without the controversy, there really isn't much of a reason to continue on with the license. Lego made some sales, Fox and its series got some publicity, time for both parties to move on. I don't care for the set or minifigures so I make the simple choice of to not buy them. These boycotting bungholes could make life easier by doing the same.
July 31, 201411 yr "someone told me" that in september there will no more production of Simpson House.... ...and no more production of Sidney opera House... ...and no more production of 10211 GE..... ...and no more delorean
July 31, 201411 yr 76005 Anyone know when this set will retire I heard this year it will go EOL but not sure?
July 31, 201411 yr 76005 Anyone know when this set will retire I heard this year it will go EOL but not sure? It will probably retire beginning of 2015, it was released Jan 2013. Probably won't disappear completely from store shelves until middle of next year.
July 31, 201411 yr 76005 Anyone know when this set will retire I heard this year it will go EOL but not sure? For those who don't have every set # memorized , 76005 is "The Daily Bugle Showdown"
July 31, 201411 yr For those who don't have every set # memorized , 76005 is "The Daily Bugle Showdown" Thanks for the clarification jaisonline.
July 31, 201411 yr It will do similar to funhouse, rise by about 20% at eol where you can't get it at retailers, then stay at around 25-30% for that whole year, getting quite rare 18 months after eol and going for double the retail, in about 2 years from now.
