January 24, 201510 yr I finally received mine that I ordered at LEGO Shop at Home on January 5th. Had 48R4 codes.
January 26, 201510 yr yeah... just received my PS from Amazon, sadly, 03R5 Went to a Lego B&M yesterday and saw 5+ of both PS and PC. Any chance PC goes before PS? I would generally say no, but PS has always moved very well and I don't know what to think since TH abruptly retired.
January 26, 201510 yr You know, you are not the first to suggest that and I would not bet against it at all. The curse of Astrid may yet bite again. I see PR going long and PC going short with PS in between.....

January 26, 201510 yr ^^The curse of Astrid??? What do you mean by that? If you are talking about Astrid the Danish LEGO designer, she designed TH and look how well it is doing in aftermarket! Edited January 26, 201510 yr by MathBuilder
January 26, 201510 yr ^^^I see. ^^Yes once something happens to WVM we can start making generalizations. 1 element in a series is not enough to guess a pattern. Edited January 26, 201510 yr by MathBuilder
January 26, 201510 yr Joking aside, it makes perfect sense to retire PC before PS as then they maintain the exclusivity element of the range and also get rid of the cheapest one. It seems to sell out slower than PS and PR so there is a case for it to work out like that if we base or thinking on the modulars having a standard 48 month cycle with EXTENSION if they do well.
January 26, 201510 yr Below from brickset Reading the above comments, I decided to make a post here. There is quite a lot of confusion from lots of users who state that Astrid did the Palace Cinema. Well this is ~50% wrong, because the Palace Cinema co-designed by Jordan Schwartz and Astrid Graab
January 27, 201510 yr Yes sir!cool thanks for the info, I sometimes forget about you guys over there.

I love coming to this site and sifting through hundreds of "it makes perfect sense to..." posts with far too much confidence in them and not nearly enough substance. I know it's a discussion forum but it's probably not necessary to post all of the speculative guesswork ideas that pop into your brain throughout the day.
January 27, 201510 yr Hoping Ed descends on the Pet Shop thread to discuss Palace Cinema. It would work great like all the other times we discuss a set in another thread (seriously)

January 27, 201510 yr The "retire out of line" situation with mods will likely be confined to the Town Hall. It was too large, and too uncomfortably priced. Thus, it sold slowly and killed shelf space. The other mods are selling, and selling well. My advice: Set an acquisition goal for PS, and start on that goal NOW. As soon as you hit it, set your acquisition goal for PC and start on it. The modular line are such strong investments that they aren't worth risking missing. Why wait?

January 27, 201510 yr My "opinion" of the TH is based on weekly visits to five Southern California B&M shops, and the well-earned relationships I have earned with their staff and GM's. My information is accurate. I can't provide a specific number as, A) I am not psychic and B. I am not employed by TLG. The fact that the TH was a long-term shelf-warmer wasn't news to anyone. Common sense and a basic understanding of supply/demand, and the cost of retail shelf space- make perfect sense for why the TH disappeared when it did. Again- pardon my lack of specific, down to the box numbers for you. I am surprised it's news to a moderator on this site. Thank you for your attempt at discrediting me, and my apologies to you for your epic fail. Edited January 27, 201510 yr by Cross
