In Europe too, but there are still a few more weeks for last production runs to take place. After week 44, no new seals may mean EOL.

The first large exclusive retirements are not far away now - maybe we will even see some in European 2xVIP or by BF.

Reviewing my list of candidates with latest info, I am going with:

PS, SOH, SC, EV, FM, SW and WTS (easy picks), SH, KWEM as sure fire EOL´s and SHIELD and Mini as  50/50 gambles. Airjitzu would be my joker.

Not this years for T1, PC and TB.

What's "SW" in this case?

Either Santa Workshop or a Sandwich?

Def sandwich.

Star Wars. The whole theme is retiring.

I just got the Holiday 2016 catalog from LEGO. Comparing it to the previous Fall 2016 Catalog, it is probable that the following could be retired by the year's end:

• 10218 Pet Shop
• 10234 Sydney Opera House
• 75158 Rebel Combat Frigate (Oops. Forgot this came out in July.
• 75059 Sandcrawler

Purely speculative of course.

75158 Rebel Combat Frigate just released in July, will be a surprise if that goes so early, seems like a very low probability of that happening

Didn't 75158 just come out? Of course, I don't recall seeing it in any store.

Oops. You are correct, good citizen. I've amended accordingly.

OOH. THE PLOT THICKENS...but in all seriousness, yeah, you're right. It probably won't be retired soon. Error on my part.

It is a TRU set...more likely the Sith Infiltrator retires and this takes its place.

Barnes and Noble 30% off for Ninjago Temple .

Do you think Simpsons set will retire very soon? Like before brick fryday? I want to purchase those two sets but I have to get the money lol... I spend a little amount this month on disney castle, PS,PC and PR. 

Panic!
75060 is no longer listed on LEGO Shop at Home Austria! No entry found. Only 34 exclusive sets. On friday there were 35 (including Slave I).

Is this probably the end? No backorder or OOS labels.

Maybe an EOL surprise?

UK site lists 75060 as "Backorders accepted" to ship by 11th Oct.  Limit is still 5 though.

Still listed on the Austrian site: https://shop.lego.com/en-AT/Slave-I-75060

So probably just another bug of their new site.

Edited October 9, 20169 yr by stlux

Thanks @stlux!

You're right - seems to be a bug. It's still not listed on the page, nor in the "exclusives" section of the site.
The new website is extremely buggy! Thought I need to panic order tomorrow more 75060 sets at TRU but now it I'm relaxed.
This would be a big surprise if it retires this year. I need to accumulate more 75095 TIEs since I have only one - on the other side I have 4x 75060.
Dislike to you new Lego website!

New to this great forum but invest quite a bit on other lines, I'm trying to decipher what do you guys aim for in the box seals? I have heard of SC and EV almost retiring. Now, SC has been in and out of stock at the lego shop online. Do you guys stock up on the UCS or does it not really matter? 

Received the new winter Symths catalogue today, features the PS, EV, JW and simpsons. Either this was printed some time ago of Lego have decided they aren't going to retire anything this year!!!

Sydney opera House in there?

I don't believe smyths ever sold the SOH so no indication of EOL on that particular set.

Sandwiches are better than gold. Definitely a retiring sandwich.

No but as mentioned they never sold SOH, that was exclusive to SAH and TRU I believe.

John Lewis sell SOH

75899 La Ferrari now C2C at EU SAH. S1 Speed Champion should be done and this is one of the more popular ones. However there is an almost identical one coming out next year.

Dr Who 21304 retiring soon.

good investment or not ?
