Savage Oppress Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I noticed that Monster Fighters wasn't in the catalog. Quote
Savage Oppress Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 I checked those pages and they weren't there in the US Catalog Quote
Fugazi Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Moving this to the Action forum where it belongs. Quote
MAH4546 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 And? The entire line except 9465 continues in 2013. Quote
JamesBenjamin Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Is there the standard 10% coupon on the back? Quote
Savage Oppress Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 no, the only things on the back are arkham asylum, and advertisements for free lego chima set for orders over $75, lego emails, lego vip program, and new lego connect app Quote
PenPlays Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 James Benjamin There is a coupon on the back if you live near a Lego Store. Also Monster Fighters was confirmed to be discontinued this year. Besides the Haunted House that is. Quote
refriedbeans Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Why would they be? They aren't exactly new... Quote
Fuppylodders Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Anyone know how long the Haunted House will be out for? Quote
PenPlays Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 At least a year-and-a-half, that's the typical $120+ set lifespan. I've heard in the UK that period can be a tad shorter. Quote
JamesBenjamin Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 James Benjamin There is a coupon on the back if you live near a Lego Store. Thanks! I'll be on the watch for mine before picking up a big set soon... Quote
Ricecracker Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 The coupon is only on American catalogs shipped to addresses near LBR Stores. Can't remember the radius offhand. Quote
The Fezter Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Monster Fighters is actually connected to the upcoming Galaxy Squad, hence it getting discontinued this year Quote
Aanchir Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Monster Fighters is actually connected to the upcoming Galaxy Squad, hence it getting discontinued this year Well, no. The connection between the two themes is superficial and was only created as a way of placing a teaser for Galaxy Squad in the LEGO Club Magazine. No different than the connection between Dino, Pharaoh's Quest, Atlantis, and Alien Conquest the year before. Outside of that comic, the themes have no connection and I strongly doubt there was any connection imagined while the 2013 lineup was being planned and designed.

Lyichir Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 This isn't really news. We knew the theme would be ending, and the catalogs have shrunk so there's not as much space for sets from the previous wave. The current Monster Fighters sets will probably remain available well into this winter, so I don't see what the fuss is about. Quote

Well, except for the fact that the theme isn't ending and continues into 2013 and will be available well into next winter. Why are people making so much stuff up here? It's really as simple as looking at the 2013 consumer catalogs, in which all the MF sets are listed except 9465. Quote
Faefrost Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 The catalogs are mainly just showcasing the new stuff. Things that are carryovers from this Summer aren't always shown, but will have a good stretch of shelf life left. We have long known (or at least suspected) that MF was planned as a one shot theme. Here's hoping that if it sold well it will be a recurring October surprise in some way. Quote
Lyichir Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 No, it's not connected.

It's really as simple as looking at the 2013 consumer catalogs, in which all the MF sets are listed except 9465. My point was that there were no new sets planned. Obviously the current sets will continue to be produced and sold for a little while, since they've only been out for a single wave. But lasting until next winter? Personally I doubt that. Just because they're in the very first 2013 consumer catalog doesn't mean they'll be lasting for all of the rest of this year. Quote
