The Who Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) It still says Available Now on S&H. EDIT: Nevermind, I just checked my email and I got one saying the production line has stopped. Maybe it really is a Limited Edition set... Edited October 30, 2009 by booger540 Quote
Toa_Of_Justice Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) I got that e-mail from LEGO Shop at Home too! I suppose the LEGO Company can't afford to produce that model anymore, given its extremely large piece count. I wonder if the Taj Mahal (with even more pieces) will suffer the same fate as the Falcon. Good thing I already have my Falcon! -Toa Of Justice Edited October 30, 2009 by Toa_Of_Justice Quote

General Magma Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Aw man, this kills the hope that I will ever get one..and how am I supposed to get over $550 in a MONTH? And my birthday will be in MONTHS, and even then I won't have enough.. Oh well, I may never have it unless a miracle happens.. ~General Magma Quote
thespurs200708 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Does this apply for the UK as well? Quote
Svelte Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 It's been around for 2 years - did anyone really think it was going to last forever? It hasn't been 'cut short' and it has nothing to do with Lego being unable to afford the piece count (!). Lego Exclusives generally have a shelf-life of 2-3 years so please try and stay calm. Instead, be excited that it means LEGO is clearing a slot for some amazing new Exclusive in 2010 Quote
The Who Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 It's been around for 2 years - did anyone really think it was going to last forever?Some of us were expecting it to last as long as the old ISD though, until it had to go on sale just to get rid of them.Instead, be excited that it means LEGO is clearing a slot for some amazing new Exclusive in 2010 We can only hope for something even bigger.

Big Cam Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I'm pretty sure we all got the same email at the same time. We've had ample time to buy one if we wanted. Quote
Pie108 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) I only really got into LEGO in '08 so I coudn't get this because I didn't have time to save up for it. My birthday is coming up so I might get it. If I don't it will be very crappy that I don't get it. Edited October 30, 2009 by Pie108 Quote
ILikePi Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 It's ending December 6. I copied this from the email:Actually, that's when the free shipping for orders over $99 offer ends. Quote

I beg your pardon? You couldn't get this since it's going out of production now? Is your birthday going to be crappy? How old are you? Quote

RileyC Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Well it always had to be discontinued sometime. I think this year was the year to discontinue it because then with next year being the ESB anniversary we could get the rumored AT AT taking its spot Quote
simonjedi Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 We've had ample time to buy one if we wanted. Time - Yes Money - No Quote
CommanderFox Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 It's sad, but it had to be dis-continued sometime I think this year was the year to discontinue it because then with next year being the ESB anniversary we could get the rumored AT AT taking its spot A 10,000 piece AT-AT Bring it on!!!!

Destroydacre Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 What this leads me to believe more than anything else is that Lego wasn't selling very many of this set so they figured they should stop producing them if they won't sell them. Judging by the email posted, it sounds like they just stopped making the set. Doesn't mean it's gone, so until they actually sell out the sets they have left, you should still be able to pick this one up. Who knows how many are left, it may take them months to actually sell out. And if the sets last long enough you may even see this go on sale at some point in the future as well. Quote
Palms Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Nooooooooooo!!!!! i found out about "new" lego back in early 08, my first new set was in dec 08 my largest set is the UCS AT ST and i have lots of expenses so unless i find treasure in my attic i wont be getting the falcon oh well [sigh] i'll at least try to get the death star and depending on if there is a further sale i might get the falcon [cross fingers] Quote
BlueDragonZ Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Good Point Destroydacre. I think the same way too. You never see lego announcing which sets gets discontinued and all that. Its probably true its no longer produced. But this is just to stimulate the sales of this set. The price is a big sum (even more than death star) and many people will think twice before purchasing it. When they say its no longer produce, fans will more likely purchase it. Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Or.... Maybe LEGO is just trying to be nice and say "Hey, we are starting to run low on these and if you are thinking about getting one, you might want to hurry. In fact, play it smart and take advantage of the free shipping offer!" Way too many people put off the Market Street and numerous other sets, right. We've all heard the stories, some of us even have some of our own. Consider this an opportunity to pick up the sweetest SW LEGO set ever. Quote
Strand Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Not exactly surprised. The set has been around for awhile and they certainly can't keep them in stock indefinitely. For those who don't have this amazing set, I'll recommend getting a loan or just borrowing off friends of family, yes it's that good. A month of 2 minute noodles would help too. Quote
Aeroeza Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) I have to agree with Strand, don't miss out!! The Falcon is just spectacular (and building it is what brought me back into the Lego collecting fold). I'm itching for the next 'true' UCS (I'm not meaning to bring up an old debate here about what qualifies as a UCS but if anyone asks..... ). So bring on that 10,000 piece AT-AT (and forget about playability) even if it means oodles of noodles await me!! Edited October 31, 2009 by Aeroeza Quote

Oh well, I may never have it unless a miracle happens.. ~General Magma Why $550? If you're thinking shipping, it's free. Does this apply for the UK as well? I hope you're joking. Unless you're referring to the shipping, in which I have no idea, but the production stops all over. Edited November 1, 2009 by Darth Legolas Quote
Stevex Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I'm lucky I got my hands on this, by far the best and most intresting build ever. I really recomend getting this before it's discontinued Quote
CommanderFox Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Sorry if im bumping this. But I couldn't help but notice that the MF is back on S@H!!! well atleast for NZ. Here's the Linky link! CommanderFox Quote
