Can someone explain to me why this set is sold out in the USA, while this set in Europe is sold out at the moment but is coming back on Oct 30.

Why isn't it coming back in the USA?

Could be that in Europe they still are expecting to get stock from B&M to fulfill backorders at LEGO LEGO Shop at Home. And in general, take in account, that LEGO market UE is completely separated from USA: different fabrics and therefore different production runs/dates.

Who says it's not coming back besides the few people here who claim to "know" it's retired?

Does anyone here still have non-cancelled GE backorders at LEGO Shop at Home USA?

The one I ordered from LEGO Shop at Home last Friday was delivered on Saturday. No delays in the UK at the moment. :)

Now 30/oct

IN stock @ Walmart

Do the GEs ship in original LEGO shipping carton if I buy two from WM?

Loads in the UK still.

I doubt it, as it's pot luck.

My last 2 came in shipping carton

Do the GEs ship in original LEGO shipping carton if I buy two from WM?

More than likely yes. I made the mistake of ordering just one from WM couple of weeks ago. It arrived in Lego carton with minimal paper packaging. Needless to say it didn't have a nice trip. Once my next two get shipped I'll be unloading the one damaged in shipment.

FWIW I don't say I "know" I say I "think" which is not reliable but is an opinion.

That being said it came & went twice at WM today and I grabbed another 2 pack hopefully case.

I think it is done and I'll keep mopping them up wherever I find them.

Shop seems to be down. error 500

I have 2 orders of 2 on the way from Walmart I will advise if they are both in the original Lego box when I get them.

I have hope.

My last 2 from WM were in a Lego box.

Lol... call to check.. make up your mind, TLC, will ya?

not sure, i would have to think GE...more investors than a year or two ago. All I know is I wish I could trade the number of GE's I have for HH's ...

I also wish I had some HH but if I can't get any, oh well.

Unrelated, what do you think about pyjamas emmet cagr?

FB is fetching $300 now.

 

Let us see what GE can do in another year or so.

What will effect its growth is how little of a profit investors will accept. If they won't sell until prices get higher then it will rise faster. If people are fine with $50 profit then growth will be slow.

Economics 101

I believe price will be in equilibrium based on demand and supply. Supply cannot by itself define an equilibrium.

For example: sellers may want $500 for ge but how many buyers will be at that level. If there are not enough buyers then sellers will have to reduce no matter what. If seller price it too high then the demand curve might itself shift hereby leading to even further erosion in demand.
