Bye bye Friends popstar limo @ SAH europe

It's still available here with limit 10, maybe it was just a glitch.

Can you take the risk to miss out on it, though?

I'm just gutted TRU UK ended their sale on SOH and SC yesterday

If you have kids, take them with you and say it's for their birthday. I did that with one of their previous flash sales and missed it by a day and my son was with me and said that the Sandcrawler was for him and the manager gave it to me for the sale price and also it was a minty box that they had held back until the sale was over and back to rrp

I'm just a minor investor but here is my inventory for selling/and what I have built

10218 - Pet Shop - 2/1
10234 - Sydney Opera House - 0
10236 - Ewok Village - 2/1
75059 - Sandcrawler - 3/1

21108 - Ecto-1 - 1/1
21302 - Big Bang Theory - 0
21303 - WALL-E - 2/1
21304 - Dr. Who - 0

Yes, I can.

Would you believe it? I can get 20% off Ecto tomorrow at a certain supermarket but it's gonna get sold out by then most probably. Missed out on the cheap ones at Asda. I already have some but fancied a few more. First world problems. I'll live.

I own only 2 and wanted to use my 20% off discount from TRU on 26.10.2016 for another WALL-E.

Is there a official promo for TRU?

Funny enough, the current Doctor Who head writer / show runner (Steven Moffet) is the one that wrote this.

Oh dear. Ecto-1 is not yet "Retiring Soon" in the US. Buying now just signals to TLG that they need to fire up the machines and run a few new batches

Other than uneven on-hand inventory, have we seen seal codes for a set produced AFTER retirement in another region?  I'm still too new to know the historical precedence if this has happened.  I'm guessing most production schedules are made well in advance, so it is probably costly to shift production.

Is that not an exception? As it was stated in US lego SAH that "check back in fall"

What about BIRDS [emoji20][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

Yes, that tag was up long before any "retiring soon" labels went up anywhere.  And it took them how many months to shift production and get them back on shelves?  3-4?  I don't think Ecto-1s are going to start flying off the shelves, especially not in numbers that would justify another production.  Most people who stock up in large quantities have done so over the last 2-3 years of availability.

Those all still have 2015 seal codes...no new production, just a spare warehouse full at Walmart.

Sure it is, but it fit within the criteria of his question ....

So, nothing sold out yet? The horde disappoints me.

They are all skint

 

I think a lot of people in the U.S. got there fill while discounted on Amazon and Wal-Mart.

Hard to justify buying more at MSRP, especially with the recent performance of Ideas sets and exclusives.

News hasn´t got out yet but it won´t be long. Tough break for US resellers who now have advance warning of advance warning of retirement.
