?It has been the case for about a month ... Amazon finally sold out as well.

Yeah I just noticed that Amazon no longer had them at 19.99. Looks like the end.

Cool, I didn't realize it had been discounted, or my mind has chosen to purge this data.

Ed Mack, your sources have been rather quiet after the big EOL wave end of last year. Did you for example know about EEE retiring? Are there any new rumors coming up?

Back in stock for $19.99.  Ugh.

Your best bet would be to go back and read page 1-22 of the 10241 - Maersk Triple-E thread.  It oultlines the history of the LEGO Maersk line, life cycles, production runs, positives/negatives, and EOL speculation.

SMDH

When are they going to officially retire all these sets that have been gone since late summer and early fall? You're making me mental Lego!

Guess with Fallingwater limited to 99 now they got a big batch of tan bricks ready to go

This set needs to die.

I did not follow that thread at all because I had no interest in this set. My question was more relating to upcoming EOLs, just ignore the EEE part.

You might want to speculate like the rest of us.  for those of us who "hear things", it's not always accurate.   additionally, we can't hound our friendly "informers".  when people "hear things" that can be shared, they usually post it.

EEE has been in stock and not selling according to what I "heard".  They sold ok when they came back into B&M back in Nov/Dec whenever it was after being out of stores for almost 7-8 months and now they have stalled big time.  That is what I am "hearing" these days about it.  

 

fact that I have been asked to buy it the last 2 visits would lead me to believe that is true.  Not something that usually happens.

 

The fact that it is the one set that didn't go back order from what I remember online also says something (could be wrong about that but every time I look it says available now)

 

Good news is that is about the only 2 places you can purchase it.

 

Speculate away!

Last year during the holidays and the Spring lull, it was out of stock on S@H then.

Here's where super exclusive exclusives hurts LEGO. Sometimes, you have to have a big ol' pile of something in customers' faces to sell it. With EEE collecting dust in limited venues, well... I'm not sure what it means for retirement, but I suspect it's this year. I can't imagine LEGO made a EEE worth of EEE.

 

Maybe they should just take them off the shelf for another few months and see how many sell?

My speculation: Maersk pays Lego $30 for each set.

Maersk has a limited budget for this campaign, that's why the exclusivity.

IMO that's right move for both sides.

Not really related to EOL though.

lol, yes it was, was selling them for $229 to $249 last year during that period.

I love it when Target asks me to review a recently purchased item which is a) out of stock and part of the discussion on this thread.

42005 Monster Truck listed as Call the Check at LEGO Shop at Home. I called, they have it if anyone still wants one. I was selling them for $60-65 plus shipping this last christmas when it wasn't retired yet

Thank you...

What sets do you think are retiring?

I think Lego 10220 T1 is retiring. 2 months and the thing will be completely vanished here in Europe.

 

It's OK, everybody buys TB, PS or whatever, I bought dozen of T1 at a nice discount (75 - 80 euro per set) because I think this thing is standing on its last legs.

Really?  OK...If you say so.  I'll have to keep an eye on that one.  Thanks for the tip.

Mini Cooper..... I think will catch many off guard.
