When 1:8 sets go on sale
BlockTalk Summary
LEGO 1:8 scale sets occasionally go on sale, but the frequency and depth of discounts can vary. One collector observed a 30% discount on set 42115 upon its retirement, sparking questions about whether similar deals can be expected for upcoming sets like the SP3 and P1.
The original poster, /u/Quirky_Sir_2125, is a new LEGO collector from Canada who owns the first three 1:8 scale sets. They are wondering if they can anticipate a 30% discount on the SP3 and P1 sets when they retire, similar to the deal they observed on the 42115 set. The poster is unsure if the discount on the 42115 was a one-time occurrence or a more common practice.
Unfortunately, the article does not provide specific details on the frequency of sales or the availability of discounted sets. However, it does highlight the possibility of significant discounts on retiring 1:8 scale sets.
For collectors looking to acquire these sets, it may be wise to monitor retailers and LEGO's website for potential sales as the sets approach retirement. You might also want to consider a LEGO display case to showcase your collection.
