if it hits £150 i'm running for the hills.

I think this set in 2 1/2 years will possibly have more hoarders than T1 & PS combined. This should have sold out on Black Friday and retire somewhat unexpectedly for a part of the newbie horde. This way thousands bought with the EOL hype. This is bad.

Definitely around the corner?  Source?  Anything other than "your a**"?

All the conspiracy theorists on here say it is a done deal. I´d have been guilty of using sarcasm if I didn´t believe 100% in their narrative.

This is the most accurate thing you've said.

Yes it's a possibility. Anything is possible with Lego. If you are so deep on these that is stressing you out this much, perhaps you need to find a new investment vehicle. Pun intended. Regardless, please just stop. It's embarrassing.

I know it's accurate, nobody knows.

This discussion should end, you're right. Let's forget this set and talk again in February.

the remake is not the problem i have. its the amount this is hoarded.

Not much retiring stuff left at Euro SAH with a view to the post Xmas sale. The BF sale and now the double VIP and gift promo have done their job very well indeed.

If it doesn't get remade the amount hoarded is less of a concern. Also, assuming for a second the conjecture of a reissued set under the creator theme is accurate (I don't believe it is), the new one will likely be more expensive. Given the past sales available on the current set it shouldn't be that hard to at the very least break even or make a little bit back if your buy in was $84ish.

It just seems like an awful lot of hand wringing.

There was also a first round of conspiracy theories that it was retiring end of 2017 and then 2018, so  a number of people panic bought in at full RRP.

If you’re uncomfortable with your stock of inventory, unload your position until you reach an inventory level you’re comfortable with losing if LEGO screws everyone over. I reduced my position from around 10% of my total stock’s cost to less than 5%, it’s not hard if you bought well below RRP. No loss. Used the cash to invest in other sets.

Now, if you bought your stock of inventory at or near RRP...well, that’s just dandy. Good luck with that.

If I can have a penny for every comment like ‘why did or didn’t I buy this or that back then’.  Well the answer is very simple you are not rich enough to get a time machine. Otherwise you will know exactly what and how much to buy.

All investments have risk. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This is not an easy game. You are not going to earn any significant amount of money if you can’t afford to take on a few stinkers.

A number of Jurassic World sets that aren't on the list above are set to retire via Lego.com. Opinions on which set will be the most popular after retirement?

i'll be shocked if it don't involve a T-rex

Lol, I'm wondering about 75930. I bought a couple when they were $80 a few months ago. I like T-Rex transport though.

So much stock, passed on 75930.

I can understand that. but sales are around $100 on ebay, so I'm guessing once it retires it will go up a bit.

Yes but everyone and their dogs think the same. That thing have been discounted in the $40-$50 range since June/July and a lot resellers have stocked up. Feel free to join the herd LOL. 

Trex has become the Lego helicopter. 

The Trex vs mech Rex coming right on the heels of TWO legit Rex's at retail (Three if you count the duplo,  but im not) means no more rex mojo.

IMHO

Just cause I like it doesn't mean I stocked up on it! ? I have two - probably gifts for the nephews. I got stung once with helicopters and I'm not doing that again!

The Indoraptor was the coolest dino in the movie, LEGO version is good and comes with a substancial build = nice set with Indominus Rex potential.

Unfortunately everyone thinks the same. Lightning rarely strikes twice. Also this set is easy 40% off all the time, even more sometimes, not a good sign...

You could say that about most popular sets/themes. But, yet people make a living reselling Lego. Weird how it works.

no offense but what do you want, even if you loaded up at rrp you have more than doubled your money. just drop price and cut lose or be patient.
