All of Ninjago winter wave sets are now sold out :eek: Never expected the line to sell that well.

5892 Sonic Boom, 8404 Public Transport, and the infamous fire truck are sold out as well.

8096 Emperor Palpatine’s™ Shuttle is now listed as 'call to check availability".

And looks like the 10223 Kingdoms Joust set would be released after Xmas, sweet!

there are still over 1000 at Amazon in stock (just checked) - so no worries - must just be a temporary stock thing at Lego

I felt that the amazon stock is somewhat "not accurate" lately (so is Target), it often will show 999 or more in stock but will be running out quicker than that. Not long ago, Amazon had 10199 for more than 999, but guess what, they are out now.

I just saw that the Minifigures series 5 is sold out at S@H, have they been sold out for a while? I still compulsively buy the gladiator whenever I see these packages in the wild.

I guess you were right. I checked inventory at noon today and they showed more than 999. When I got home from work - sold out. And now sold out at all national online stores. s@H is showing that they will ship on Jan 3 - but I've seen that be wrong before in previous years with other sellouts.

I bought a 10210 Imperial Flagship but am going to return it, but I was thinking it might be discontinued soon so maybe I should keep it for a couple months.

It is sold out on lego.com but recently became available on target.com so was wondering what everyone speculations are on end of cycle for it.
I have inoperable cancer and am unable to work. Any gifts would be appreciated. Thank you!

Considering that Emerald Night appeared to be completely sold out everywhere - and then yesterday showed up as being available on S@H (with a shipping delay).....now I'm skeptical that anything is really sold out. For all we know there is still a 6 mo supply of the Flagship sitting in a warehouse.

I agree - they seem to bring more and more supply of the popular sets on the market. This somewhat undermines investments into 'the' popular sets...

It's definitely sold out. I ordered on a few hours into the Black Friday sale and although it was confirmed initially, after a couple days the order was canceled. They are out of stock at Lego. Pick it up elsewhere if you haven't yet! Target, Amazon, etc.

Grand Emporium back in stock and shipping now.

I think I have learned from several years of experience that Lego sets don't just die, they have death throes, set don't go down easy but once wounded they all eventually die.
