My son was running around the store today and posed for a quick picture. Notice the "retiring soon" sign. This set has been around for a while.

That thing retails for 90 bucks! I'd pay $50 tops for the figures.  Rest of set is garbage.

I didn't know they had retiring soon signs in stores. Wonder how reliable they are.

 

I want this set but I don't think its amazing. I don't know how you have a Hoth set without a ATAT or a SnowSpeeder. Its like blasphemy.

Also I woulndn't broadcast that your son is Batman. Probably a lot of people that will treat him differently.

I think that the "Retiring Soon" tag is just like the label on sets at LEGO.com. They often give sets the label to move the inventory, not that it is actually retiring in the next week. There are some sets that keep these labels for weeks. Maybe TLG has stopped making them, but there are still a TON out there, even in retail stores.

 

On a side note, Willy431 is correct... the minifigures are amazing. You get basically as many as Jabba's Palace, except for less $$. Plus I personally have never been a Tatooine fan. More of a Hoth/Kashyyk/Coruscant/Endor person.

Batman has taken the Tony Stark route where he doesn't care who knows his identity... as he is that damn good

TRU will have these things forever I imagine

I was just about to mention Tony Stark. Ha. You beat me to it. Plus 1 for you since my son's name is Anthony,

He has got the Tony Stark smirk down pat.

 

Now if he grows up to marry someone like Gwyenth Paltrow, thats superhero like.

Prob is that it's a ToysRUs exclusive. Any other store would've had nice discounts on it or even a lower retail price. I've only seen it below $70 ($66) once at TRU. Last year (the week either before or after Black Friday) , this and Palpatine's Arrest were $66. A $70 tag makes this set so much more appealing. Like the B-Wing, it was just priced too high.

After scoring $80mill or so for his roles in Avengers and Iron Man 3, I don't think he would mind ending up like RDJ (minus all his previous issues)

Hard to believe he was completely knocked back for even a screen test as Tony Stark initially, due to his perceived "box office toxicity".

Lol yes it is. I don't think thats a problem now.

This set having been made in limited production, I see this as a good thing. I have it displayed and will definitely be ready to sell it off when the value spikes up.

Maybe. It has been around for 3+ years now. The newer Hoth sets haven't done much but this set has the diaper Luke and that red 3PO.

I bought 2 back in Oct or Nov 2012 when TRU had this and Palpatine's Arrest for 63 each.

I like to move around all the retiring soon signs in the local store just to see people freak and buy stuff like Death Stars and Chima.

Star Wars 9525 is on it's way out, 24.99 at the local (utah) lego store. That's 50% off. Shows retiring soon on shop at home.

Before careful of more recent clone wars and prequel sets. Investment Returns have been bad even at nice purchase discounts.
