this set went sold out in US at end of last month and retired in other countries.

not on any list i've seen.  picked up a few the last couple days from walmart.com where they had them for $18ish.

Color me shocked it wasn't already retired. When another parent told me this is what their gift was at a birthday party a couples months back, I was like, huh, I thought I bought all those a year and a half ago (I had).

That's the story. Next January, there will be 5 modulars on the market: AS, Bookstore, Police Station, Hotel, and Jazz Club. Seems like two too many.

Lego clearly can handle more sets in rotation at one point, at least online. My store is small, so older sets are often not on the shelves. 

They will prob let 2 go next year. DO and BB went together. I think TH and something went in the same year too, maybe GE.

no thats the only set they ship in a box. the entire chain only has 19 shipping boxes left so they have to close out the listing.

Bad news regarding bad batch:

Amazon Canada has got minimum 1 thousand units in the warehouse.

Gotta assume Amazon America has at least 10x their canadian counterpart     

Does Walmart always post a "Retiring Soon" page?

They'll do anything to move that Bowsers airship. Man, what a dud that one is shaping up to be.

Interesting. They even mark retired.

Maybe they figure why discount, just mark "retired" and they will sell.

Barnes and Noble has been marking sets as retired for a few years now.

Looks like bad news for the Architecture fans out there.  Appears as though Paris, New York, and London were all extended for at least one more year.

Architecture is dead....it was a fantastic line for adult collectors and for investment. But now they extend the shelf lives way too far and they have failed to come up with anything new or desirable for some time now. Very sad as I was an Architecture completionist, but have now lost all of my interest in Architecture.

Also...every time I walk into my storage....I feel like my New York's and London's are outright mocking me! Where's the dead money thread?!

Sad, as this was the line that got me back into lego at BN.  I just looked back and other than this year’s Singapore Walmart clearance I haven’t bought a single architecture set since 2017 Guggenheim, and haven’t built an arch set since the three 2016 Skylines. 
 

Icons, sets like the colosseum and Eiffel Tower are the new Arch.

Architecture is what got me back into Lego also.  I do think the Great Pyramid set that came out this year is nice but it's the first good set they've released in a few years. I was never a fan of the skyline sets and they kind of killed my interest in the line. I still have my Fallingwater and Robie House on display and probably always will.  

 

There are more not all Themes have been updated yet like: icons, creator, ideas, city and more. There are a few sets that had 8/1 price increases that did retire. Almost all the BHZ got wiped out except the Mando/Child
