Coast guard plane is "call to check availability". Could be gone. Glad I grabbed one during double VIP. Its been a strange one and is tagged Hard to Find.

*crossing fingers*

If we embrace "new items" sort of entire product catalog as The List, then mixels series 2 are too high in the list. 

 

Do note that GE went into "Sold Out" without going to "call to check availability", whatever it means...

 

I agree, it came and went really quick.  It's been out maybe a year.  According to Brickset, less.

With Series 1 retiring, I think the originals will be $15-20 before Christmas, especially if these subsequent series continue to be popular.  I think they will be - both Series 2 and 3 have some really slick colors and builds coming up.  This will fuel demand for S1...

Who here has any Series 1 socked away?

I just have one of each of the first two series.  I wanted more, but there was always something else to buy.  Glad I bought what I did.

I picked up two full sets if S1 and will do the same with S2 once it restocks. I think these guys are great, and hopefully popular after retirement...time will tell I suppose.

Mixels are the new Rovers.  Look out!  LOL

I actually opened my rover, not knowing how valuable it would be

A lot of people talk about the new Star Wars movies and wonder if they'll they bring back the Falcon or a new Death Star or whatever, but it seems like everyone's missing a point that should be obvious: Lego and Star Wars will want to promote the hell out of the new movies, and the new ships and characters. I think we're more likely to see a whole slew of ships we've never heard of before. Avengers, Guardians, Spider-Man, Lego Movie, you name it

These Mixels will always be "that weird stuff" for me. I have never liked this kind of creature design. Fortunately I can always spend my money on equally good investments, so I don't regret not buying into this.

Perhaps, although I think we'll see significantly more NT sets than we did prequel sets when they came out. For one thing, the movies are going to be way better, but also remember that Disney owns Star Wars now. I think their marketing strategy is going to be very different, and they'll take a similar approach to the one they're doing for all their (Disney-owned) Marvel Lego sets. All of the new X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, Guardians, Iron Man, etc. sets have been tied in with the new movies when they're released theatrically. I think Disney/Lego will put the OT sets in the backseat for a while, both so that they can promote the NT and to give the OT sets a chance to recharge in the marketplace.

 

EDIT: One more point: the prequels didn't have the OT characters & actors in them. The NT films do. So we'll get new Han Solos, new Luke Skywalkers, etc.

The only problem with that theory is that the xmen and spiderman movies are owned by fox and Sony respectively. That is why we got spiderman sets based on the cartoon not the movie.

That doesn't shoot down my theory

What about the Death Star? It says out of stock on lego.com? Is it retiring?

There are "speculations" that it _might_ be retiring. At lego.com, it says "Out of stock. Ships in 30 days", it does not say "out of stock". If it was "sold out", now that would be interesting. All major retailers being OOS for it fuel the speculation that it is indeed retiring. But the fact that you can still order it at lego.com means that there is at least one more run coming, or they will redistribute some stock from Europe. But that _might_ be it (but only might)

Who here has any Series 1 socked away?

I have a complete set of Series 1 & 2 that I have not built yet. I'm wondering if I can wait until #3 arrives then build them all just in time for the holidays. :santa:

Yup. Quacs and I have been following this set. It def has been flying under the rader

One of the the main Lego Toy Store suppliers of my country is officially out of Death Stars. They say they won't be getting any and they removed the item from the site.

I went ahead and bought all 9 of the Mixel Series 1 tonight at target for $45.  figured with the retiring soon tag showing up and many places being out that it has a following and will sell well by Christmas.

It seems we have a BP member that has retired rather unexpectedly... Anyone know what happened to.....

Maybe he became so tired talking about retirement that he retired himself.

That's a nice set but, I wonder why it's the only CITY set that's rarely (never in the UK) discounted.  It may be gone, the Fire Boat and Coast Guard Helicopter soon went.

Maybe it is sold well? The only way to get this set cheaper is at amazon.es or you have to become a proletarian.

 

I really like it. Especially to add it to my city. But there are so many street corners to choose from. Maybe someone creative can combine some of the street corners into one big one.

The last 3 orders i had placed at Lego.com all got their "LEGO
