SadnapS Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Lego Set 42030 can no longer be purchased on the Lego Shop. The Availability says " Temporarily Out Of Stock" I was hoping to pick this set up and get some VIP points along the way. My local TRU still has one available. Thank you Eurobrick Technic Team Lurker... out Quote
Kiwi_Builder Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Lego Set 42030 can no longer be purchased on the Lego Shop. The Availability says " Temporarily Out Of Stock" Really? You answered your own question straight away, it says 'Temporarily out of stock'. I'm assuming you don't speak English very well because it explains it, they don't currently have any 42030 sets ready for sale at the moment so you just have to wait for however long it takes for TLG to restock it. Generally the sets get retired two years after they are released so the Volvo will still be available for a year yet. Edited August 16, 2015 by Kiwi_Builder Quote
SadnapS Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 Thanks for the prompt response Kiwi Builder... I guess you're right. I did answer my own question. Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I got my Volvo from local shop few days ago. Box was slightly damaged, covered in dust, sticker with price was far from real. And i had some feeling that this is the last sealed Volvo on earth... It's only my opinion, but i think you need to hurry) Quote
volks_womble Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 You don't say where in the world you are, but I picked one up last week from tescos in the UK. No problem whatsoever. It is included in their current offers, so the price is very good, which may affect availability... I should add that was via their direct service, rather than in store... Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Moscow, Russia. All is not so bad here, 42030 still available in stores) I just felt this destructive unstoppable flow-of-time thing) Quote
thomol Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Availability differs between countries. For example it's available at shop@home for customers in Sweden and Germany but not for US customers. Quote
vliet Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Maybe because of the box from the 42030 is about the same size as the 42043 some shops had to choose Quote
Trawler Man Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 The listing on the actual Lego Shop website has been stuck on "Temporarily Out of Stock" for a very long time, now. I'd been waiting for it to become available again, but I ended up going to Amazon.com, and getting it for $220 just 2 days ago. My experience with the Lego online store is rather iffy in terms of stock, and with the way scalpers go at these things, I would rather be safe than sorry. Besides, the $30 I saved didn't hurt, either. Quote
ancestral Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Plenty of Volvo's, Cargo Planes, Crawler Cranes and even Mobile Crane MK2s in Turkey. Quote
Rockbrick Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 my nearest TRU had loads of F1 42000 in stock all of a sudden... Quote
LennyRhys Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Generally the sets get retired two years after they are released I doubt that applies to expensive flagship sets. Besides, you'd have to clarify what it means for a set to be "retired". The way I see it, flagship sets are produced in a run of several thousand during the first year of release. Thereafter, unless the demand for them remains very high, their production will not continue. With all the PF elements in 42030, it's an expensive set for TLG to produce and they won't want unsold stock gathering dust in warehouses. The PF elements will serve them much better in newer sets coming 2016. Quote
ctx1769 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I got the 42030 today from a Lego shop in Manchester, UK they had 7 more boxes on the shelf Edited November 27, 2015 by ctx1769 Quote

The PF elements will serve them much better in newer sets coming 2016. The idea here is that flagship sets stay available for at least 2 years. My Local LEGO shop (monobrand) still has 42009 available, and this model is still included in LEGO catalogue. Quote

This set is everywhere and will be around for probably an other 12 months. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 We still got them in stores (other than the Lego shop) in Scotland,but not the Lego shop in Glasgow. Quote
vliet Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Last week I was in the Lego store in Wijnegem (near Antwerp) and they still had the 42030. Quote
JamesJT Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Technic set EOL's are very predictable. Flagships get 2.5 years other sets get 1.5 to 2 years production. #42030 will be with us until next Xmas. One exception - Last year #42008 didn't retire on time and has only just sold out. I was wondering #42025 could get the same extension. Quote
