Hi! In the Lugnet set information pages (either through the set search or the
set browser), how can you tell if a set's been discontinued or not? Are prices
listed for all sets still produced/sold? And can all such sets be ordered
through Shop@Home or something similar?

The general answer is (I think) that sets have a ~2 year life cycle. A
particular chain (WalMart, K-Mart, etc) may discontinue a set before or
after TLC does. Some sets seem to hang around forever, some seem to
vanish. Target just blew out the Mos Espa pod race set after being out
only a year (or so).

(...) Mostly the larger, more expensive sets. You can still find copies of things like: the technic shuttle the 8880 car the large ww sets etc around the place. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)
