And you in North America are The Kings or what? I would expect this attitude from someone else than MOST RESPECTED MODERATOR .. or are you suggesting that we should - somehow, given these circumstances, revolt against TLG presence here or something?. Its their decision why they cease production in different world areas at different moments. The same as why it is still financially efficient for them to have everything loaded off in Munich and whenever I order something from the local website I get it from German warehouse. The same applies for the rest of the continental Europe, not sure if UK doesnt have a dedicated warehouse. Nothing to prove and nothing to go crazy over. It was just a quick observation that stuff is retiring there early. I'm not sure how you took that I was cutting on anyone by making a simple observation. Carry on... You have no stock, so therefore, it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice.. so you deleted my previous post + also yours when you, used word "you in OOS suck" - is that a common thing around here that when MOds are displeased with what they said that they just delete these posts as to not to look bad ?

I didn't delete anything, now I'm curious. LOL! It's a conspiracy against 2 sides of the world. Edit: I'm not sure what happened to those, so another mod might have stepped in. Please don't throw around accusations. It was a fun observation. You're making it no fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crayxlp Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 SOMEONE deleted my post where I described the distribution process from HU plant to Kladno then to Munich.

That was what I referring to. They are discounted, though - but no retirement tag. Exactly. They do not show the tag, also not in Netherlands... but recent discounts of up to 60% off on Amazon (DE/ES/UK/IT) on these sets, and Lego referring to 20% discounts but also making 30% discounts, make you wonder... If I have to make a guess, one of first next retiring sets from the discounted sets is 70352 - without retiring soon tag. On the lifespan of some of the sets (e.g. Batman Movie), I feel some indeed are going to retire with just a 11-12 month life span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayxlp Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yes, that was it. But there was also some abbreviation OOS which I clearly remember - because I didnt know what it stands for.. so there was more to that msg.. anyways, I dont think its necessary to dig into it any further. If felt kind of insulted by that approach because I dont think that Exciter has better understanding of the LEGO logistics operation in Europe than I do - to make such remarks. And it would certainly help that if a msg is removed a user gets some notification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winner so far is the Friends Ski Off roader set with barely 4 months on the clock. Last year there were a lot more sets with 6 month runs; our beloved 75150, 70590, Elves, Bionicles and a few others I forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
