Wrong again! (PS RETIRED TODAY)

 

Again.

Good stuff.

Fairground Mixer on Back Order (5th of December) now. (LEGO Shop at Home Europe).

Been today at flagship Lego Store at Leicester Square and Westfield.
Got confirmation from Lego Leicester Square store managment that the Creator Pet Shop is done for good after checking this for me in system and they won't have any more in store.

 

No more speculation about the Pet Shop. It's gone!

I bet they just logged onto SAH and saw it said RETIRED PRODUCT.

Now there are 164 unavailable sets at US shop, which is a bigger amount than in Europe for the first time since the retiring soon tags came out 2 weeks back.

The ones that are the rarest.

There are rare Lego sets?

City Pizza truck on backorder already!

Some are rarer than others.

The retiring Architecture sets are all pretty much unavailable at US shop now.

EV is probably going to be the Tumbler of this year.

If that means it goes to 1.5 x RRP right after retirement I'm all for it.

new to this Brickvesting but is it because it is sold out in most places and it was limited run?

 

 

No, I meant it stuck around for ages with a retiring soon tag and even after retiring at SAH was still available for RRP.

Pretty much all the other tagged sets are out of stock in one SAH or another.

Cloned Dinosaurs were probably a better choice than ewoks this year, at least judging by initial post retirement sales both in terms of Volume and prices achieved

Yep. Went up to 300 in February I think. I don't have my bricklink logs handy.

One thing I really regret now is buying 2 ewok villages at Smyths 20% off sale, i could of bought 4 indominous rex at same price, i got caught up in the brickpicker moment when everyone else was buying EV, ive learnt my lesson to not let people sway me into buying something I didn't want to just becuae it's on sale.

Indominus Rex Breakout and Pet Shop are now sold out at US LEGO Shop at Home.

I think LEGO might be busy making more Pet Shops for this forum,

lol - that already happened last year - that's why it stuck around an extra year.  investing in PS is akin to a game where a bunch of folks sit around, drink lots of beer, lemonade or whatever, and wait to see who can hold it the longest.  this is going to be a long painful hold.
