In response to this (URL) smart move> by TLC, as well as (URL) this>, my question is: Can we get more colors locked? Also, what's the chances of getting any retired colors unretired?

(...) This may be true, but they always managed to be top notch before. Now, with all the changes to save money, they are slipping a little. Almost anytime I order from S@H they have items backordered. If demand is higher than usual, they have the (...) (17 years ago, 24-Aug-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) Yep:-). Demand was also higher than previous years for sets too. I should also point out that production for sets is a lot like printing - there's a lot of lead time needed to get a set production run done. So what seems obvious now in terms (...)

Ah, so unlike last year, when they decided that the best time to shut down production in Enfield and move everything to Mexico was just in time for the holiday season (leaving many stores, including the Lego brand stores, fairly bare of bricks (...)

Hey all. Stacy and I were just wondering if anyone has heard anything about why so many sets are on back-order at U.S. S@H.
