Hey guys, been a while since I've posted. Got a larger list of what LEGO is ending production of at the end of the year from a source who was at a recent management meeting in Billund. I'm sharing it since its not really secret news cause I checked with my local LEGO store management and they freely told me the same thing. Just cause it's ending production does not mean the sets will vanish at the same time. Just means no more will be manufactured.
ENDING PRODUCTION:
-Town Hall
-Fire Brigade
-All Monster Fighter Sets including Haunted House
-Galaxy Squad
-First wave of LoTR sets including surprisingly Tower of Orthanc (that news blew my mind)
-Sopwith Camel
-Tower Bridge
-Lone Ranger (I have been told its sold quite well cause there was a heavy demand for western themed sets so shitty movie did not matter)
-Castle Line (I should of asked if they meant Kingdoms Joust or the new line cause that's really recent. It would explain however why there has been no announcement of more sets.)
There were more most likely but I didn't get the full list and when I talked to them I was mainly asking about sets I was interested in.
This is going to affect what I buy this month now so I plan on going back to the LEGO Store tomorrow.
Today I bought:
-Back to the Future Set
-5x Fall Polybag
-5x Thanksgiving Polybag
-3 Large containers from PAB
-2 Containers of 2x2 Light Bley tiles (If there was anyone here interested in those, I am going back tomorrow)
-1 Container 1x6 dark blue tiles, and random other things
Stuff from PAB I am looking for include:
-any color tree leaf bricks ( not the palm leafs, the large 5 by something ones)
-1x2 tiles in Black, Dark Bley, Light Bley, Dark Blue, Brick Red, White, Dark Green, Tan, Brown, Light Blue
-2x2 tiles in same colors as above minus Tan and Light Bley
-1x1 tiles in same colors as 1x2s
Also, my LEGO Store received 30 more of the LE Technic Rover and they are going to let me trade in the damaged one I got that I had to pay full price for, for an undamaged one.
