Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Apparently, the new 2006 A-Wing fighter has been discontinued, according to Lego and FBTB. Any idea why, when it was so popular? -ZotS Quote
Scouty Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 It may have been because TLC needs to make room for more sets, so they disconinue sets that are at least 2 years or something. Quote
Darthking623 Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 But it hasn't been two years *wacko* Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 Yes ImperialScouts, that might be it, but why not get rid of the less popular set? Like the V-Wing? -ZotS Quote
Chuck Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 What do you mean "discontinued"? It dosn't say anywhere that it is discontinued. -l2k- Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 I said apparently. -ZotS Quote
Chuck Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 I said apparently.-ZotS Exactly. You said it was discontinued, while it is only sold out. -l2k- Quote
Vader Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Ok lets be clear on this, the AWing no longer appears to be available in europe and it says sold out in the US. This dosent mean its discontinued just yet but all signs appear to be that way, only time will tell what the fate of the awing will be. Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 I just called LEGO and asked. They said it was discontinued. :-( Well, they are wrong sometimes... I don't want to buy one off eBay... -ZotS Quote
Axle Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 *n* NO!!!!I was gonna get one with my Christmas money!They were only 15.00 euro!Why did they have to discontinue them. Quote
Andy::Won Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I've never even seen this set in the shops once. Hope its not totally gone! Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 I hope its not gone everywhere too, I was going to get it... -ZotS Quote
The Executive Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 The A-wing is still available at Toys"R"Us.com Quote
Vader Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Its also still available in some woolworths here in the UK. Quote
ReZourceman Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 At various times Ive picked them up from Woolies. Ive got three now Heh heh. Quote
Vader Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 At various times Ive picked them up from Woolies.Ive got three now Heh heh. Yeah and the great thing is that woolies had them reduced also X-D Quote
Darth Andrew Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 I haven't seen one (or any other Star Wars sets, actually :'-( ) at my local Meijer's for a month or two now. :-( At least I managed to pick up two while they were still around. *sweet* Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Wow. All I have left in my shops are 1 V-Wing, and 2 B-Wings. -ZotS Quote
yellost Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 In Belgium, I've never seen it anywhere in any shop... I had to buy mine off eBay... Even weirder : has anyone noticed that this set isn't even in the official catalogue? That made me think it was a S@H exclusive but it wasn't mentioned as such there... :-/ Quote

That made me think it was a S@H exclusive but it wasn't mentioned as such there... :-/ mm... it was an exclusive for unknown reasons... we had this only in the official lego store.. we HAD.. it disappeared several months ago (because some guy bought them all and is selling them now on ebay??) and the clerks there said they will not get it again... :-( Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 I hope I find one... -ZotS Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 lOL, I guess LEGO was wrong. They might still be available. -ZotS Quote
