TH is going before the GE & PS? Novel idea. Was this a new employee, or did you visit the store 9 days ago

She has been there for a long time (years). It is not on their order sheet, but this means absolutely nothing. I overheard her tell someone that was buying the PS the same thing. My goal for the rest of the year if to buy one GE & TH every month. I figure I am going to buy them all at some point, so might as well start now.

I ordered a SSD on 4/4 when it was listed as out of stock but shipping on 4/20.

It is still listed as backordered so I guess we'll see if it gets fulfilled over the next two weeks.

Just ordered 2 TH ... might as well just to be safe!!

I'll state a fact myself. And a few of the super big shots so to speak on here have zero town halls. If thst goes away soon many will be caught off guard.

Why are people so surprised to see exclusives like the modulars go our of stock during an 2xVIP event, while at the same time they advocate that this is what you should buy in these times?

I'm no super shot and I don't have any either yet. There is close to zero chance this thing is done for

Time to revive the "what I heard from a lego employee thread"

Side note: we should revive that thread every once in a while to see how much is true. Maybe even take some wagers on this stuff. Would be fun x

Yeah there is just no way the Town Hall is gone. Honestly I don't know why Lego would retire another modular for the rest of the year. They got rid of one. They will retire another one at the end of next year probably.

Out of stock, will ship in 30 days !

that is not news

Did you search "retired product"?  I got a bunch of new items included when I searched that.

Good advice. If people look closely, even some "sold out" products appear there ;)

Sorry where/what are you guys searching - 'retired product' on the search page? Not sure I see what you're seeing.

Yes. "Retired product"

I had no idea 9468 Vampyre Castle was retired. I need to pay attention.

Yeah but TRU seemingly has a never ending supply of them so it really doesn't matter at this point.

I can't wait to see Sopwith Camel or the VW Van using that search

If anything, maybe by Jan 2015 for one of them.

So I just searched "retired product" and noticed a couple items that were foregone conclusions finally made their exit.  This could have happened way earlier, I'm just now seeing it, but it looks like the Robie House is official along with the Unimog, might be a few more Technic sets too.

I'm search that and just seeing the regular stuff along with a few city sets like the terminal. Are there some big surprises I'm missing?

I was waiting for some of the Technic sets to be officially retired. Good thing that they are finally retired.

I wouldn't trust the search result.

Even sets marked as "NEW" rank near top of the list. Such as this:

Really glad to see the winter cottage on there, I was getting worried it was going to be coming back.

I would like it to come back because a friend of mine wants it and missed it.
