Finally! I have Proof!

I knew it! All along I have been very outspoken about how I believe that Lego's "Retiring Soon" tag was a load of garbage to boost sales on slow moving sets. I always maintained that the tag was "conveniently" omitted from being included on sets that people actually want. Tonight, I got my proof... 6858 - Catwoman's Catcycle City Chase has been "Temporarily out of stock" forever now. Some time today, the status went from that directly to "Retired Product." Where was the "Retiring Soon" warning??? Nevermind the fact that this set has been out for about a year and nine months, there still should have been a tag on it if it was about to retire. For the record, I take no satisfaction in being right about this. I would have rather been wrong. I wanted to believe that the "Retiring Soon" tag actually meant something...
