Out of stock, or they haven't got them in yet. There is a time warp where you live after all.

 

So, gentlemen, what goes to sold out status first tomorrow? Maze, SC, EV or something else?

SC but only when it is -20%

 

 

Regarding missing offer in Australia - I assume that they will sync it with Europe, so it means 12pm in Europe and about 12am in Australia...

And when will Brick Friday start? 00h00 CET, UK time or 11h45 am tomorrow when the webmaster remembers he didn´t add snowglobe to the items list?

The better question if they will add some promo item when you buy the snowglobe. Hmm, perhaps PetShop..? ;-)

I think the should charge for the globe and give the maze away for free.

I wonder if Ghostbusters (including the GBHQ) could be a surprise early retirement? Together with everything Simpsons

Not reduced not tagged. However Minecraft and Angry Birds whole rangers are. My Spidey Senses are telling me Minecraft licence could be up or why reduce the whole line?

Minecraft are very expensive sets cost/piece, probably due to Microsoft getting a big piece of the Cake, more than other licences I guess. Maybe Lego is tired of that too. Although the sets are really nice, my son loves them, it's all about pure basic building and it's quite inventive what they do with a limited set of bricks

So, is Minecraft done?

I doubt they'd release a high end exclusive set months before they decide to dump the license.

on may fourth staw wars 3 x VIP all star wars exclusives were limit of one so dont think we should take much notice to the limit of 2 

 

I think its wrong to assume that anything that isn't labelled retiring soon wont retire

Just because death star was remade doesnt mean that will happen to every set, all sets need to retire one day, T1 van may go this year.

 

 

Thank you for editing, will make sure do proper next time

 

 

 

The following minecraft sets released in 2014 are defiantly going  as they were from the first wave, the others relasesssd in 15 & 16 are unlikely to go, minecraft is a great seller

21113 The Cave

21114 The Farm

21115 The First Night

21116 Crafting Box

21117 The Ender Dragon

 

I´ll defiantly repeat the question. Why is the whole range marked down then?

Overproduction?

The same reason the following sets are being reduced:

70323 Jestro's Volcano Lair

41130 Amusement Park Roller Coaster

60124 Volcano Exploration Base

 

Lego is being killed by all other retailers this year in terms of sales, I'm not saying these sets aren't selling, but people are going less to SAH and buying from tesco / asda as they can get sets for over 30% easily. Minecraft has been on permanent 25-30% off on almost all retailers. I don't know why but there are good sellers. Maybe not ecto-1 type fast sales but they are certainly not crap sellers like some architecture sets or nexo knights

If that was the case, everything they make would be marked down. Let´s see, maybe we have a surprise on our hands.

Yeah, I'm not spending any money on that leap.

The ones that are the rarest.

The other major hole in the theory

Mushroom Island (21129)
Nether Train (21130)
Ice Towers (21131)
Jungle Temple (21132)
Witch House (21133)
Secret Waterfall Escape (21134)

I like that logic but those Minecraft sets are going out of stock quicker than turds off a shovel so oversupply can´t be a problem.

Minecraft is the best selling LEGO theme on Amazon, beating Star Wars and Friends. I really don't think they're going to give up that license anytime soon.

My guess is the entire line is reduced in an attempt to bring new kids into LEGO. People that play Minecraft but don't have any LEGO will buy these LEGO sets, get hooked, and then start buying other LEGO themes. I've always thought of the Minecraft theme as a loss leader, hence the constant discounts.

Maze is out to 30 days and Trevi is C2c. 2 down for the snowglobe.
