Jeez, I just went into LEGO Shop at Home US and I got scared as many of the sets that are TOOS are sets that probably will retire soon and I have none of them. That includes 10211.

 

In EU there's no sign of them slowing down. We even have 10221 available and I couldn't find it in US.

Remember the same set can go EOL at different times in the US and UK.

10217 is a case in point, 6 months difference.

It's in the (german or netherland) June-December 2014 Lego catalog.

Not sure if it's a mistake.

We might see it back, side by side (sort of) with Santa's workshop.

It should come back in October. I find it weird as it is labeled as retired. I also must say I don't remember if they marked the previos ones as retired after their first sales swing.

Have you checked that the instructions are in the box? :-)

 

I think you feel pain seeing this nightmare

Yeah instructions were there. Just received my last 2 from walmart and they arrived in the original lego box. Near mint/mint condition, they should of shipped the other 2 this way. Oh well, Im happy

it is indeed labeled as retired. I bought 2 of these slightly below msrp but am wary of this set.

I think the remaining inventory are bottom of the barrel versions. When I saw the four GE's in stock at my local Lego store a month or so ago, they all had varying degrees of high wear. Needless to say, they were all gone when I went a week ago.

A creased box still brings in more profit than an imaginary one.

It's actually not worth noting.

Not sure if this has been reported by anyone else, but the expected ship date is now September 12th, 2014, up about two weeks from the previous date. Doesn't really mean anything to me, but some of you enjoy tracking this kind of info.

And back to Sept 25

And nope, no enjoyment at all since the time it came back from "Sold Out"

In Polish LEGO Shop at Home GE is still available without any "Temporarily out of stock" status. I just got mine 3 days after ordering.

The EU LEGO Shop at Home sites work differently from US LEGO Shop at Home

Ok, so I'm thinking about getting 3, but in September they have the classic space minifigure free set with a 100$ purchase. Should I buy now or can I wait it out until September?

You could buy one now and then one in Sept. and get both promos.

Already got this month, exo suits ****** stuff. Mini Cooper doesn't really intrest me to much. But thanks. Smart plan of action. If they are out in September then il go for the pet shop or town hall.

Do you want to sell or collect the promos.  If you already have a mini Mini Cooper then get another and sell one, that should be ~$10 toward the GE.  Not sure what would sell better, the Spaceman or the Mini.

I want to get multiple spacemen sets that I hope to sell with my exo suits but I don't want to miss the GE.

Buy now.  No minifig promo is worth missing a modular at EOL.  You can always pick up something else in September, like 10220 or 10228 (if still around), or Tower of Orthanc, which I think might surprise people by dying young (along with or slightly after the LotR theme, which dies more or less in 2014).

It is not listed on amazon.fr anymore.

Weird... Amazon.es doesn't have it available to ship right away but it can be ordered

So I have 2 on my way from lego to begin to ship on September 28. Now if The GE is still available in September, can I cancel my previous order and get the September space minifigure?

If I do this, (if they are availible) could lego cancel my order due to not enough grand emporiums?

Should I do this.
