I should probably get me one in a DHL garbage bag for that price. Whats the code to get it there? 

I keep hearing about the DHL bag.  I just placed my 27th order with Zavvi.  I've ordered as big as the Disney Castle and as small as Dom's Charger.  I've yet to receive a set that wasn't boxed.  A shipping thing that *does* irritated me about Zavvi is them creating boxes out of two box halves.  Their homemade boxes doesn't have near the structural strength of a solid box.  but so far, I've been lucky.  I received my first crushed set last week, a very crushed Cement Mixer.  Otherwise, many, many sets in perfect shape.

I only kid. I’ve placed exactly one order from Zavvi when they had a sweet deal on the liebherr excavator. It came in its brown LEGO shipper. Just a few minor dings. I’d give them another shot if they ran something I was interested in. My only caution is the complaints I see about contacting customer service for a resolution.  I can quickly contact Amazon, Target or Wally World with a problem. And often times we can come to a resolution.

Did get my first order from Zavvi yesterday via DHL, overall it was in perfect condition and well packaged.  I do wonder if allot has to do with DHL, I've had some back luck with them over the years and varies from driver to driver..

There are steps to be taken first:


 

Big update to Retiring Soon list on UK LEGO website! 71 sets now, were only 4 yesterday.

Includes: Tree House 21318, Droid Commander 75253, Rough Terrain Crane 42082, Car Transporter 42098, Harry Potter 75965 and 75958, Batmobile: Pursuit of Joker 76119

 

I just closed my listing for treehouse. 😁 Now I don't feel so bad at those that I have.  

Wooow, that doesn't make any sense at all.

@marcandreI'm praying for us. Maybe they changed their mind.

It was listed as being available only in April 21. Maybe lego realised its not cost effective to restart the moulds for just this item and that its better to just let it go. 

I'm guessing it's just an error honestly. Don't get your hopes up.

What's the chances that websites listing th as not retiring is not correct vs lego website is incorrect. I'd take my chances with the lego page and delist my stuff rather than clear it prematurely.

Delist it. No question. But the website is not trustworthy. I just talked to costumer service, she said the set will be available through 2021. 

It’s the new Lego strategy,

it’s retiring it’s retiring.

Oh people missed out.

Another year for Timmy.

Back ordered until April 2021 😂😂😂😂 Lego now take permanent back orders.

Hi,

here in Germany the "retiring soon" button has been removed already after being shown this morning - so it seems as it was a mistake! 🙄

unbelievable - just checked the website again and now the button is back !!!

Wtf are they doing with the Treehouse?

Not really. They don't really know.
