Friends - Stephanie's Cool Convertible, Olivia's Speedboat, Mia's Bedroom, Series 1 foil packs

Duplo - Train Starter Set, Doctor's Clinic, Emergency Helicopter

Creator - Apple Tree House

Lego Games - Ninjago, Pirate Plank

Chima Speedorz - CHI Battles, Ring of Fire, Target Practice, CHI Waterfall

Technic - Mini Container Truck

LOTR - Gandalf Arrives, Orc Forge

CMF - Series 9

Architecture - Sugnyemun

Marvel Super Heroes - Captain America's Avenging Cycle

Nothing earth-shattering.  Orc Forge surprises me the most.

Architecture Sets sold out at LEGO Shop at Home - Empire State, Sydney Opera House, and Fallingwater.

 

Does anyone know where to get Fallingwater except at Barnes and Noble now?  That is the only retailer that seems to stock them for the past year.  Now that it is gone from Lego, what sources are there?

Me. At twice retail.

Republic Gunship is call to check availability at Lego shop at home, so it appears to be on its way out.

Finally!

LEGO UK currently shows...

 

108 items Out Of Stock with delayed shipping dates. (reorganising stock to fulfill orders or another production run?)

159 items Sold Out.  (Game over?)

 

If I recall correctly, this is more than double that of last year.

 

If a lot of these end up being a "Retired Product" a lot of us are going to "Need a bigger piggybank" to keep all that lovely profit in.

Me. At twice retail.

 

Ha.  Not until I can't find them at retail.  

 

With the way in which this sets has retired (if it has) and its almost exclusive status, I would now put this set as my best performing set of 2015.  I was just one-at-timing it at BnN with coupons, but now I feel larger amounts need be acquired in a hurry.  I a have 12 but was hoping for 20.  I have a hard time paying retail.  Crunch time.

I feel the same way about 21006. When/if either of these go they should spike very quickly.

Looks like the 9398 Crawler is finally done. Somehow I feel like it's been around forever but looks like the normal 2yr lifespan. Maybe because I bought in too early. I was such a noob back then.

I think we all know that feeling very well.

 

Buy some DS's they said, it will be retiring any day they said.

I feel you bro. I've been sitting on three of those for years. Would've been four but I traded one for a SSD a couple of years ago. Should've traded them all!

New base-plates colors announced: Avocado + Harvest Gold.

Need advice which would you buy?

Falling water from b&****** store or republic gunship?

I think both are cool and both are going...

Easy decision - get both.  I think they will both do well if they're gone for good.

I was afraid that would be the answer!

S2 mixels.. if you have enuff... start on S3 already..

 

looks like LEGO Shop at Home is out of them

I completely agree.  I was caught a little unprepared for 21005 retiring because it was so sudden, and I am little afraid the same will happen on 21006 because it is a good Christmas flip.  I don't end the year with many in stock.  The sales below 20% are few on the Architecture sets and not many stores carry them.  I am going to treat them a little more like exclusives and not be so eager to sell them for a small gain to restock later.  

21005 gone from b&******.com

Fallingwater was the answer.  Easy one.

Thanks still stacks at my local B&******!

Fallingwater is a great set.  Fun build (at least I enjoyed it) and the resulting model is very artistically rendered.  The spiral bound book is also nice.  But it's also been out for over five years.  

The thing has almost doubled in a week online..... Are people just trolling?

And ignored for five years...as with the rest of the Architecture sets...until it is too late.

True.  But I would guess that most fans of the Architecture series already own it.  It's the centerpiece of the line.  Of course that would also help it's value down the road.  

Here we go again. "It's been out 5 years so everyone who wants one has one." No. As it has been stated before people want what they can't have so they will want the retired and harder to find ones. People also see it's been out long and say, I'll get it next year." There also are new people entering the Architecture line every year and Fallingwater is one I could see them wanting down the road because it is awesome and very unique. Last it wasn't very widely available and that helps sets a lot as long as it isn't a TRU special. (Looking at you 79004)
