GE #10211 listed with sold out at LEGO Shop at Home.us

I have 11 of them bought at $110. Not sure if i should get more at $150 though. LEGO Shop at Home Europe still has them in stock.

7938 is more like $130-140...at least on Ebay. Give it some time...it did just retire.

Going to take a long time,  The new high speed passenger train 60051 is much nicer. 

There is no reason to pay more for the Red Passenger train.

Same with the new Cargo Train .60052..A.Much better set than the old one.

 

 

It's disappearing from shelves at LEGO Stores.  Some have said they aren't getting anymore. I know, hear say, I'm I'm still curious to know if any stores restock.

Not to change the topic, but the HH has a ways to go IMO. It's still in stock at all major retailers. Probably won't make it to 2015, but I think it will be available till early Fall.

a ways to go? it's almost July and fall (September) is only 2 months away.

Are the clerks hinting it might come back closer to end of the year?

Forgot to ask, sorry. :(

Why is it that when SSD went out of stock without any type of retiring soon label the set shot up to almost double on amazon?  But GE goes out of stock, same scenario and the price has stayed consistent at around $221?  Not as much demand?

Just double checked eBay....min 160.00 (one seller)....and all others around 179.99...

Its been 1 day since GE went sold out and its now at $150*1.5=225.  SSD was sold out for how long before it got to $400*1.5=600.  A month vs a day do not a accurate comparison make.

These trains will do just fine 7939 already clears 200 parted out after fees, so I am surprised to see so many bagging on it and 7938, which is a far better city display  train than the new passenger train. Its like light rail 

SSDs are "only" selling for $600 now.

Same percentage over MSRP as GE

Does anyone think they are temporarily inflated a bit because of the panic buying?

The GE I ordered over the weekend, just before the Balloon Cart promo was over arrived today.  Minty fresh!

Yeah they're both doing great at 150% retail after almost no time into non retirement.

I'm in Canada too...somehow I don't think it'll be realistic to find GE's in Lego Stores a couple of week from now. With Sold Out status, I'm sure collectors/investors etc are going to check out their local stores sooner than later for inventory. But who knows, some stores might have stock left.

TRU.ca last I checked still had stock so could be your 'last resort'. Sucks no vip pts/promo now but if you predict GE will be like FB at $350ish after 1/2yr of retirement, than $199CAN retail doesn't look that bad. Pretty soon, $200-$225 will seem like a bargain.

That $199CAD is $180USD which is still a good deal.

And if they are officially discontinued, this panic buying is going to be called smart buying before the panic buying when GE sells for $350. So smart buying at $225, panic at $350. Crying at $600 for those who are staring on eBay without one in 2016.

GE is at "Call to check product availability" at Lego SAH USA, whatever that means... They found some, or what? It would have made some sense if it was "Call to check product availability" before "Sold Out"...

Maybe the funny guy from Lego SAH, who was randomly switching between those two states for SSD, is back from vacation...

4GE left at LEGO store in Burlington MA for all you Baaahston Brickas.

Will only let you buy 1.

Can't justify 3.5 hours of driving time but maybe someone else closer will get em'.

If you call you can reserve one for yourself.

those are asking prices. check sold listings.

And back to "Sold Out".

Whatever...

And back to "Sold Out".

Whatever...

 

Maybe a glitch or they had a couple returns and sold them?

So when will GE hit $600 (4x RRP) ? Or will it ever hit $600 ? Any speculation ?

Double on Amazon means nothing unless someone's stupid enough to buy at that price.  They are available all over the UK at RRP still.

True...the completed auctions on ebay.com show about $200 to be the going rate

 

On a related modular note, nice to see the last FB sold was a $318 BIN.

SSD rank has been steady over the last 4 weeks, people have been buying.
