I didn't ask, I just assumed she meant this new year 

It would be a sigh of relief to many if this information would be true. Unfortunately, many members here already gave up on it retiring.

Read somewhere that the Big Ben will replace TB next year.

No, you haven't read that. Not as fact. You've seen people speculate that, but there is no information from LEGO that this is the case.

Just setting the record straight. Not calling you out. All we suspect right now is that there is a Big Ben set coming out. We don't even knew for sure what size it will be. And we don't know whether TB will be going away.

Why goodbye? Still available in European SAH. This set is a hot candidate for new year´s discounts.

I thought also that Sea Cow will go to black friday and/or January discounts, but surprisingly without discounts and sold out... i really dont understand who can buy this set for full price - based on children´s movie, its not classic ship, far from steampunk style and extremly overpriced...

And I don't understand who could buy Bionicles, but alas :D

Abusing resellers is more like it. It will double in price a year after retirement, right? It has to.

which set are you referring to? o_O

Lol we sure are, made $220 just this week. Bought more sets today and going to get more this coming week

I believe this is a new addition to the sold out ranks  and it´s a HELICOPTER! That means we will definitely need another helicopter in 2016 or there will be a shortage.

My mistake, I keep forgetting that I'm illiterate

 

 

So i was reviewing the Sales and Deals page on US SAH and noticed that the Friends Pop Star sets which came out in August 2015 are on sale along with some city construction sets that came out in Dec. 2014. Does anybody think these are retiring so soon? From my experience, going on sale at U.S. SAH typically means retirement is imminent once it sells out. 

I mean its possible the 2014 city sets like 60075 are retiring but not the Friends Pop Star sets......can anyone make sense of this? 

If all these sets are truly retiring, they will all probably be some of the best investments a year from now.

60077 seems to be done already so it´s a possibility.

Not saying any are going or not but Lincoln Memorial was on sale...

I will take that as a sign.. Considering we've seen this play out before.

Lincoln Memorial is one of the newer sets...and a little boring if you ask me. Would be a surprisingly short production run, guessing it's just a slow mover. 

 

 

Sorry. No I'm saying Lincoln Memorial was already on sale like 6 or 9 months or so ago...I just checked & it was on sale in May both in store & online...

on big zoo/vampyre hearse monday in Feb 2014, malevolence and desert skiff were on sale.  they didn't sell out that day and the price reverted back to MSRP.  they were reduced and cleared 3 months later on May 4th .   seems like more and more though sale at shop at home means the set is on its way out.

Dr Who Dimensions set straight to red sold out on LEGO Shop at Home?? That's interesting...and probably an oops.

Guys. That's the shortest lifespan for a Lego set in foreverz. Negative 8 days! RE and Zombies eat your heart out. In for 100.

Dimensions level pack, not the Ideas set. 

Pretty sure it will be back--sold out is fairly meaningless these days...
