legoman12323123 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Anyone know if this is going EOL .. seems to be gone from all retailers. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholovesboo Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I haven't heard anything. If it has sold out, it took a while. Not a very popular set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belljohn Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 There are so many new Friends sets, I am planning on every 2012 Friends set that is sold out at LEGO Shop at Home to be EOL. This may or may not be right, but check out the price jumps on sets like Heartlake Stables. Almost doubled already on Amazon. I am buying every Vet, Stables, and Camper I can find. The last ones I have found were at Barnes and Noble last week. I got a Vet and a Stables for retail minus 10% there. I hope to sell them this Christmas.

exciter1 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This one was weird. I checked last weekend and it was still $32.99 on Amazon.com, but they had at least 999 in stock. It then jumped to $44.95 early last week. Now it's gone and only available from resellers on Amazon. Really weird? I just found a few at some local Wal-Marts, so I'll put a some in my stockroom.

TheOrcKing Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 I noticed Heartlake Stables disappeared from Amazon while Heartlake Vet on Target's website did weeks ago. I could still find these in store but I doubt for much longer considering Black Friday (more like 'Grey Week') is coming up fast. Looks like it's "do or die" time!

lowillsw Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Having a few of those in a safe place before they find a new home for the daddy's little girls of world at a much higher price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So glad that I bought a bunch of "near EOL" Friends sets during Amazon's recent sale and Argos' 3-for-2 sale. I hope to start listing them next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholovesboo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I wouldn't panic. I think the vet set won't sell out for a while. It's just not that popular. So many cooler sets have come out since and that's what girls are going to want for xmas. Given that, if you see a fantastic deal, I would go for it...why not. I haven't seen it discounted much at all since I started watching at the beginning of this year. That and the Pet Salon. But that's just my gut feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI.... I frequently used the enter 999 quantity on Amazon to check stock, however lately I have realized it is not 100% accurate. I believe they have changed something with it. It seems to only work under 300 units for me now... There have been a few instances where I knew they didn't have 999 in stock but it was showing they did, a few days later they had 200 or less.

lowillsw Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Target refused to price match Lego against Walmart.com. Good luck for the brave souls that want to attempt.

Unless a policy change just went into affect? They have about a 7% chode percentage. I ran into one that wouldn't pricematch correctly and use the coupon, so I just told them I'd go down to the road to another Target, and I did.

Soadfan4ever Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 They shouldn't refuse to price match as it is their policy, you can look it up on their website or try to get a copy of their policies to show the employees.. That sounds like a uninformed or lazy employee. As far as the coupon goes, their actual policy is to apply any coupons and then price match, that is where those same uninformed employees benefit us. It sounds like exciter1 got one of the few informed employees out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I just bought 10 today walmart site to store was pretty awkward .. first time buying girl legos in person I hope I can unload these before christmas dont want to tie up capital I've bought and price matched plenty of Friends sets at Target (sometimes Walmart). Somewhere I keep expecting one of the cashiers (especially at Target 'cause they're all ladies) to ask me "Who are they for?" or "Ah, do you have daughter?". Thankfully, no one has brought up 'the question' but I do wonder what I'll say if that happens. I'll probably just say "Naw, they're for me. I love to build!" which is the truth. Anyway, I have some hope Heartlake Vet will find its audience (and value). I figure Heartlake Stables should do well especially considering how high the secondary prices on Amazon are at already; I just wonder if perhaps one would be best to sell it before next year's Sunshine Ranch comes out? Then again the Heartlake Stables could go well with the upcoming Heartlake Horse Show. Hmm.... Target refused to price match Lego against Walmart.com. Good luck for the brave souls that want to attempt. I dont want to rain on anyones parade but the informed emplyees will turn you down.Sounds more like an uninformed employee or perhaps they did not want to price match because the discount difference was 'too high'. Anything on sale for 30% or more, they will need to call in a manager to override the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon33 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have been noticing on the clearance deals the Vets are dried up but Stables are readily available. Due to the new Friends Stable set is it a consensus this is causing less interest in the old Stables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I don't think so. Grab them up at $35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholovesboo Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Probably loss of interest at the moment. Not necessarily in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahminnj Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 jealous that anyone is finding friends on clearance. Our area has been cleared out since christmas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belljohn Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Vet seemed to out perform the Stables at Christmas by a few dollars, and it is a cheaper set. I would not pass up clearance on the Stables though. I haven't seen either in my parts since before Christmas. I would love to find some on clearance. I don't think we really know that is going to happen with most Friends sets since so few have retired, but the prices went crazy at Christmas. It will be interesting to see what the retired sets do this year if new sets are available. I expect big things, but I am not all in, yet.
