I've had two different stores tell me the Castle will be retiring this year, but they haven't been told an exact date.

With the Disney train supposedly coming out, I’m not sure why they would retire it. I can’t wait to add the train to my castle.

      Here you go. Are likes important? ^^ Anyway, I find it interesting that the City Vulcan sets are also seem to be done. They are from last year, so they are not really that old. Did a pretty good

      I'm feeling generous and seems Cladner and Val-E are working to hard at this,  might as well simplify their jobs for the holidays.  Plus some of these need to disappear quicker... 10815

      Chris, I think you're coming in at a time where the LEGO reselling party is coming to an end. I'm not saying there is no more money to be made; what I'm saying is that the ship is full and the general

    I don't see how they can retire it either. Seems to be a classic set that will age well. 

    Wouldn't it just be replaced with another castle...after the forthcoming train gets some alone shelf time?

    I do think that castles are a unique thing for disney collectors...unless the remake is another Taj Mahal, even subtle differences are probably enough to differentiate them. If Lego was to do a re-release right...they would make it so that instead of two castles, buyers of both could make a "super castle" by combining.

    In general, Just like for Star Wars, and POtterheads...there will always be a $350+ option for disney lovers.

    It’s never too early for retirement talk?

    Some sets like to slip quietly into retirement this time of year too.

    Question is which Creator Expert car will go, T1 (prob never) or VW Beetle (likely)? 

    Also carousel?

    For d2cs and the main sets, yes but remember that we have the summer retirements - all the turdiest sets that haven´t met sales expectations and are culled before due.

    We should therefore be seeing a lot of Unikitty, Star Wars and Friends racing theme sets going in July.

    round and round the train goes but where it'll stop no one knows...  My money is on station and I'm gonna take it to the bank, if not the jokes on me.

    The regrets I have for not buying a joker manor from Amazon on BF are painful. Thx for updates!

    I bought three of those. Wish I had bought more. After getting it, the colors and variety in the set are so great that it's hard to look away from. It's a neat set.

    Disney Castle is on Backorder on LEGO Shop at Home right now. I am not sure if I have ever seen that before. 

    it's happened before but i agree with inference that it's a sign of eol.

    it's been temporarily out of stock now for a couple of months on australian shop at home site which for me has been a decent prognostic.of eol.

    usually large sets have been underperformers from investing perspective but given the rabid and wealthy nature of disney fans, this set may be the exception.

    especially if it goes and stays gone.
