Unless the license is some part of 2015 it will not linger like HH. HH was NOT a licesed theme.

 

True, didn't even think about that.

What do people estimate this could rise to once it is EOL

Depends on a few factors, but if it moves to sold out within the next couple of months (as opposed to making it through most of 2015 to retire in the fall) I wouldn't be surprised to see it at $350 USD around Christmas. Double MSRP ($400) seems more on the optimistic end (not that I would complain) but the slow growth of LOTR sets in general makes me err on the conservative side.

Thanks.I got one as part of a deal on Craigslist. ToO and ewok village for $330cad total. Both are factory sealed and look untampered with. Hopefully you are correct.

Any more recent seal codes than 50R4?.........anyone.............Bueller?

The one I bought yesterday at Lego B&M was 50R4.

Considering some of the other sets that were OOS around the holidays have shown up with 2015 codes, this might be another sign of the beautiful, beautiful dance.

Damn, Cross, you were on fire last night. Like x10

looks like he pulled an all nighter last night, 4:06am

 

good post though

Think so it is all part of what I think the next wave is - Red Five, ToO, EEE and SOH.

 

They are all behaving that way except SOH.

 

I think we will know more in a few more weeks.

Well... It takes two to Tango and TLG is leading the dance.

This set is done. Buy now or regret it later.

How fast this one will be gone only depends on the stamina and the resources of the hoard now.

the hoard where I am at seems to be sidetracked with R5 at the moment.  Which has been good in a way so I can pick up a few more of these, unfortunately R5 is one I am short on now

I'm sold on all except SOH...other than Ed prognosticating that TB will still be available at MSRP in two years, what collective evidence does the horde have?

Well... this member of the hoard/horde is way behind with the hoarding. I have only two ToO's and one Red5. Do not mention even SOH. I have zilch.

Let me know if you want me to make you feel better. [emoji6]

Since when had a mass retirement been followed immediately by a second mass retirement?

I think Ed intimated that a certain number of sets were on the chopping block and as far as I know that number hasn't been reached. I don't think this is a separate case of mass retirement but the petering out of the initial wave.

In the industry it is known as "continuous mass retirement"

CMR comes before EOL, there you go.

And is typically preceded by a large lego meteor striking the Earth.
