Has anyone noticed that the Tower Bridge and Haunted House are not in the LEGO January 2014 & Spring 2014 catalogs!

Could this be a sign of EOL?

They are in the new catalog in the US.

Amen

Thank you for the fast answer!

Please close this topic.

For reference, a LOT of sets don't appear in various catologs, it is one of the worst ways to determine EOL dates IMO.

Yeah especially with how many big sets there are now, there just isn't enough room in the catalouges. TB wasn't in one of the catalouges last year.

I hate how the US always gets a big fat catalog and the Canadian version is about half as thick.  

 

As usual Canada gets

TB is unavailable at Target, WM and TRU ship to home. FYI

It will really depend on the codes.

There is great song about the codes...

How come you don't have the troll award? Looks like you've got room for one more to round it out to a nice 4-per row.

If keepin' it real = troll, then by all means give me that badge!

Haunted House has not been in the last two or three catalogs, and its associated theme (Monster Fighters) is long gone.  I would expect it to go EOL at any time.  Tower Bridge is trickier, but has been around as long as GE and also not featured in the last several catalogs.  I do think that appearing (or not) in the catalog is one sign worth paying attention to; it's just not definitive by itself.  Still, as emazers and others have pointed out, if you wait for the "retiring soon" badge to appear, more often than not you'll be at least a few months too late to buy at or below retail...

this also means that not all exclusives and/or hard to find sets are going to do well

In stock at Target

TB is at "ships in 30 days" at LEGO Shop at Home.

Planning another run?

It could be they made too many and haven't sold enough. Too much supply not enough demand. Lego could have stopped production of them ages ago but they still have warehouses filled with this set and thus just letting it slowly sell.

I think it be around until Nov. 2014.

None of my three close Lego stores in Southern Cal carry HH or TB either. They told me the only way to order them is through their website.

I don't think they will last til halloween

I think they've held HH stock back so they've got some to sell at Halloween.

That would be my thoughts too. But then again, perhaps there will be simply a new halloween line up.
