Yes, @asharerin is correct.  It always shows as retired in Europe.  And people in the US and people in Europe always fight over whether the item has really been retired, especially after it's first year out.

Just to clarify, i didn't say it never had a retired tag, all i know is that it had been completely removed from the website and is now back, just like the toy shop was and the Disney Minifigures have also been removed from the website although they are not back on .

Is this the confusion 'Ed Mack' was talking about a while ago? 

This is not confusion. This is deception!

Can some one explain to me if its retired or not as its on the UK site with a limit of five is it a nightmare or is it true?

Is this its 2nd resurrection in the UK? I was hoping to offload mine this year ;-(

"I have a bad feeling about this"

I thought it was an open secret that Christmas sets say 'retired' during the summer months in the UK but are available elsewhere all year,  then Un-retire in the fall.  Hasn't this happened for at least 2 years previously?

Not trying to make light of the situation as I'm in the US and hoped it would be gone by now too.

But as her handmaids said to the Khaleesi, ' It is known'.

First time it´s happened twice with the same set AFAIK.

It’s been available all year at JohnLewis so I’m not sure why anyone expected it’d go away this holiday season.

Call to check (US) - unleash the horde?!

Over 200 listings on ebay.  I think the hoard was already there. 

It showed Out of Stock on SAH at 6am. Now back to Call to check?

Plenty in the UK at limit 5. I'm hoping that it's done this year.

Avoid ANY set that retires first across the pond - see Imperial Hotel / Villa Savoye double from last year. Advance warning is never a good thing unless it´s for the SSD.

Anyone seen these in their local LEGO store recently? I have not.

Now that you've mentioned it. No, I haven't. Strange. That's very good news as it means only available online at the moment. Here's hoping for retirement early 2017.

In UK these are in Lego and John Lewis, both places had loads of them, it is a good seller though

Call to check availability at LEGO Shop at Home, if you believe in this set.
