The discontinuation of the marketing of certain LEGO sets has today become almost as important an "information" as the launch of a new product: Those who waited in vain for the "good time"to buy them understand (finally) that it will soon be too late and those who have stored these boxes for resale on the secondary market with the hope of a substantial profit are (already) rubbing their hands. new to the LEGO market.

In short, section "Soon withdrawn"from the LEGO Shop, which could have been called "Buy fast"Or"You will soon have waited too long"currently contains 8 references which will therefore soon no longer be sold by LEGO on its official store. LEGO does not deign to provide a precise date for the withdrawal of these references:

December offers on the LEGO Shop and in European LEGO Stores are now confirmed by the French Store Calendar for this end of the year (PDF to download at this address).

Below is a summary including the November offers, some of which straddle the last two months of the year:

Le Store Calendar US from December 2016 is available and he reveals the content of the set 41150 Moana on the High Seas, based on the animated film Moana (Vaiana, the legend of the bout du monde in France) which comes out at the end of November.
In the box, Moana / Vaiana in mini-doll format, the demi-god Maui in BigFig format, the Heihei rooster, a raft and an island.

A second set bearing the reference 41149 Moana's Island Adventure, still based on the animated film, is planned.

The first teaser of the second installment of the adventures of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot and Rocket Raccoon is available and it's an opportunity to talk (briefly) about what LEGO has planned to accompany the release of the film in April 2017 .

What we know for now is that three boxes bearing the references 76079, 76080 and 76081 are planned. And that's all. No other information on these sets is available at this time.

Three sets were also released in 2014 to accompany the release of the previous film: 76019 Starblaster Showdown (€ 25.99), 76020 Knowhere Escape Mission (51.99 €) and the very successful 76021 The Milano Spaceship Rescue (86.99 €). For latecomers, these three boxes are no longer sold by LEGO, but they are obviously available on the secondary market.

As for the polybags, we had to be content with a single bag exclusive to the Toys R Us brand (LEGO reference 5002145) containing an unreleased version of Rocket Raccoon accompanied by a Baby Groot.

An exclusive minifigure was given to a lucky few at San Diego Comic Con 2014: The Collector, played on screen by Benicio Del Toro.

an exclusive set printed in 1000 copies had been marketed during San Diego Comic Con 2014. In the box, 145 pieces, Rocket Raccoon in the same version as the polybag 5002145 and a chibi version of the Warbird.
