jaisonline Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 My wife found 2 Stage Coach sets for $18.99 at Ross. Usually stores like Ross and Marshalls (at least in my area) do get some of their toys from local Target (and maybe Walmart) and the items are near the end or past their normal retail life. Think this is an indicator to sets are near retirement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@rtisan Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Possibly. We all know the movie tanked big time (one of the largest flops in history). The sets up here where I am move very slowly from what I can tell. If they aren`t retiring now (hopefully they do in the next couple months) I`d bet heavily that they will be gone by spring/summer next year. More likely spring. Would be very surprised to see them sticking around past that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stage Coach always seems to be sold out at all the store I visit, the others are just sitting on the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenchu2000 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Speaking of TLR sets, all 3 Lego stores in my area have the Chase Train on display now, along with Horizon Express sitting side by side. I think they used to have the entire TLR theme on display for about a month when the movie just came out but have taken it down since then. The 4 TRU stores I went to yesterday still had a lot of TLR sets on the shelves. The Chase Train, even discounted at $64, wasn't moving at all.

Nice set but hard to pay the $130 MSRP up here for one. I will not do it. Stagecoach will likely be a solid investment, but the question I have to ask if how much are people going to be willing to pay for if down the line? MSRP is $30 US and $40 CAN. Decent prices, but how much higher can it go before people realize that they really aren`t getting a good value anymore? I see it hitting $50-60 in 3 years or so (maybe a bit sooner) but that`s it. Unlikely someone will pay more then that for one IMHO, if it goes that high at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah see this is why I decided to pass up the TRU sale in favor of the inevitable clearance of the LR sets thats coming. Every Target, Walmart, TRU and Kmart in my area has a minimum of 5 trains on the shelf and my TRU has 8+ even with the 50% off. 50 bucks for the train, thats when I'll bite...

Anakinisvader Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Once they hit Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx it means retailers are salvaging them (getting rid of them because they either bought too much or are crappy sellers). Don't worry, you will see plenty more of LR hitting these stores. They have been HORRID sellers in the retail market. Look for galaxy squad and LOTR/HOBBIT soon.

I guess I'll get one after christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch97racing Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 was at Marshalls today cause my girlfriend loves to shop there. I haven't seen Legos before at Marshalls, so I was a little shocked when I saw the train. the LR train for 76.99, and I wouldn't pay that as amazon is 72.

JoshTX Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Haven't hit a Ross since I quick flipped a couple Optimus Prime Kre-o sets I got there a couple months back at 30 after paying 11.99 plus tax. I'd buy LR from there if they have it, but it's going to have to be a significant discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm trying to remember if I even have a Ross or Marshalls around me. I never need to go through places like that on any kind of basis so why would I? I agree in anything there would have to be at a steep discount before serious consideration.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Sets heading toward EOL in the UK often end up at TK Maxx and Home Bargains. I've not seen these there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosamov Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 According to Brickset, TLR 79106 (Cavalry Builder Set) is retired since earlier on this month. The rest most likely soon to follow? (In the US) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wholovesboo Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Maybe there is a trickle down effect starting to take place. Kohls advertised a discount on Lego (among other brands) in store, but I didn't see ANY lego sets on the shelves. Still haven't. All I've seen are those Brickmaster Castle books/kits, which I haven't seen anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
