To continue an earlier thread, here are the sets listed on S@H as "Retiring Soon":

 

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

Star Wars - Endor Rebel Trooper and Imperial Trooper Battle Pack, Planet Bespin & Twin Cloud Car, Planet Endor & AT-ST

 

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

Yes, really a joke... It is worth to write an email to them that they should let the discounts be... 

Because 10% for SOH or EV is the same price for which you can get them on Ebay or BrickLink...

P.S. The unique true advantage ist the Gingerbread House

By the way all the discounted sets will be discontinued through Black Friday sale in my opinion...

the site doesnt work right anyway. If the Mini really goes EOL i´d like to have at least one. Just cant order... Tried to call but its only Mo-Fri now.
I wonder why Lego is not smart enough to get a buch of 12 year old who can actually run a website. They just hurt themselfs badly and its reidiculous that the bigges toy company cant run a website.

Maybe my browsers are the point, but i tried Firefox and Safari. Sometimes one of them works... but i guess i´m not alone with it.

At least you get discounts. Australia has nothing except the Gingerbread house

Discounts dont help much if you cant place an order

I guess timing of discounts and EOL varies across the globe. Most sets retire a little earlier in EU and a few months later in US. Dont know how Australia lines up in that schedule.

Our region is EU. Our SAH shipments come from Europe. EU/AU is the same. If it's retired in Europe, it's retired here.

Lego  Germany has sale on Sydney Opera, Ewok Village, Mini, Brick Bounty and a few more...
SOH, Mini an Bounty are a little surprising to me. But discounts are a "joke".

Do they normally only discount sets that are about to retire?

Are you saying the sets will be back ordered during Black Friday or are you implying that they transition to sold out? I'm not sure I follow you.

Yes and no. If you look at previous years, some have gone on to retire others stick around. The key thing to note is that sets that appear in the Brick Friday sale tend to be slow sellers. You'll have to draw your own conclusions whether they're sets that TLG decide to pull the plug on.

Not that anybody cares but two of the Elves sets released this year are call to check at LEGO Shop at Home Europe:

41074 Azari and the Magical Bakery

41072 Naida's Spa Secret

They wouldn't retire any of the Elves sets this early, would they?

In my opinion, 41074 is one of the best Elves sets so far. Also, Johnny Baker is exlusive to this set. It would be a pity if the bakery weren't available anymore.

Oh yes it was - for month...

The Sea Cow offers you a lot of plastic for the money. It's such an unusual yet fantastic set that this could be the new Imperial Flagship once it's gone. I bet even Emazers (where is he these days?) has a boad load! Before I was banned (now unbanned - I think!), I ordered one every time there was a good promo. I now have 5. It's been a while since the movie so it may as well sink now and then resurface in glory and then some.

I've just been to Leeds' Smyths in the uk to pick up a sea cow. While talking to a staff member,. She informed me they can't get anymore Death Stars and it's due to be retired in the new year

Don't worry Emazers has 10 Sea Cows, might get a few more. Every investor should have a few.

It would be a sigh of relief to many if this information would be true. Unfortunately, many members here already gave up on it retiring.
