Re: PSA: LEGO Retiring Multiple Nintendo Sets (UK)

Emilia

This is inaccurate. The "Retiring soon" label on Lego's website doesn't encompass every retiring set, I'd recommend referring to other resources such as Brickset or certain subreddits. The "Hard to find" label refers only to retailer availability, not retirement; it indicates that a given set may not be available at all retailers. Also, to the best of my knowledge, Lego does not retire sets at different dates for different regions (though certain regions may run out of stock faster than others).

Regarding the sets shown above, I can confirm that the NES is retiring at the end of the year. The Mario 64 Question Block has already been retired as of July of this year. I haven't bothered to look into the rest of the items listed here but I know that there are at least two Minecraft sets not listed here that are retiring at the end of this year (The Fox Lodge and The Deep Dark Battle).

This sounds solid. Seems like the perfect time to start playing this series. I was going to start with Lost Valley, because it looked promising, but this seems like a far better option.

@Sanqet Can you think of a better control scheme for it (without a second circle pad, as it came out almost three years before the new 3DS and circle pad pros are annoyingly bulky)? It would have been better on a home console with better controls, but otherwise, it takes full advantage of the 3DS and in my opinion is the best looking game on the system.

6. Animal Crossing New Leaf
7. Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D
8. Tomodachi Life
9. Fantasy Life
10. Super Smash Bros.

Quell Reflect is a great game, I'm probably going to get that. I'm surprised that only Quell Reflect is being released, as it is the second game and the third game, Quell Memento, is superior to both Quell and Quell Reflect.
