mudcatsfan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The only way Revan will be the same value as last year's Han is if they produce way more Revans and include him with other promos. A truly unique character doesn't compare to a common character with a hood on. as a contrary opinion, many star wars fans don't know who Darth Rivan is, nor do they care about him. Are there enough expanded universe fans to carry the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I would buy one or two R2 sets during 2X VIP points and then one or two more in May for the Darth Revan minifigures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njseale Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I would wait and hope that r2 is a discounted set for May 4th. Darth Revan will probably be worth at least what 2x points will net you so it will be at least a wash, but there is more upside waiting Until May 4th.

njseale Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I would buy one or two R2 sets during 2X VIP points and then one or two more in May for the Darth Revan minifigures. And this is probably the best advice, buy them now and buy them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoSteve Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'd pass on the R2's for this month. They'll still be around next year and many current exclusives wont. I don't want to be a double VIP points basher but there are many exclusives you can get for deeper discounts from other places. I picked up 21 R2's for under $110 each so double VIP points mean nothing to me in that scenario. I'm going to buy one GE and as many VW's as I can get my hands on. I'm hoping by August I'll have enough capital to pick up a few Haunted Houses and more GE's. I don't own any DS's but I located one on the way to a wedding I'm going to in a few weeks. I'll be able to pick that up for $224 and a couple of Robie's for $110 if they are still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudcatsfan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 it should be noted that may the fourth will be the 2 year anniversary for R2. The Ucs Bwing only lasted one year & this one will now be over 2 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iahawks550 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Sounds like there are four bags that have been opened and parts placed in Ziploc baggies. The rest of the bags(4-10) are still sealed. Comes with box and instructions. Is $120 enough of a discount to bite on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Depends on whether you want to build it, or sell it. For me, probably not, especially when you factor in a promotion on a new one like Darth Revan, although I would be tempted. I'd see if you could get them down to an even hundo.

iahawks550 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 My guess is he priced at $120, knowing someone would ask $100. I really have no interest in building it. I think you are right about this and I may just buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isocleas Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I picked up a lightly used one (w/ box ****** instruction) for $75 a couple days ago. imo with some of the bags open you'll probably get closer to used price than new, so I wouldn't pay more than $100. If people weren't getting them for cheap from BnN I think it would be easier to justify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It's been on 3-for-2 deals before so I'd personally wait for offers on a new one as the set hasn't been out that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladner Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 r2d2 can be found with some regularity at bn where you can get a better deal than this probably six times a year and for sure the day you sign up. when you sign up include your kids for the kids club 30% off email. for 2x vip, i'd be boring and buy 2 more GEs. walmart is out of stock on this one - at least you can't find it as a webpage anymore. its next modular in line to go. best chance at a nice cagr pop. we built this one last week and its a great looking set. you already have invested in it anyway so you can factor in the ease of just relisting something once it sells. then next month you can use vip points to pick up an r2d2 for yourself and get the minifigure. with any luck r2d2 or the red5 x-wing will be on sale too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayttees Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Im not big lego ***, just started 2 months ago. Have so far 2x HH, 2xVC , 2x T1 Van. Next month is polybag promo , so I will pop up to my local lego shop to pick up GE & SC. R2D2 can wait. Looks like this set have 2-3 more years of life.

holleman67 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 R2 has been around since May 2012, id hate to see it last another 2 years. With 2x vip and May the 4th coming up I'm sure it's stock will be low for some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beartrapper Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've been buying mine at Barnes and Noble. With the ease of getting gift cards, plus a 10% member discount, I've been able to pick them up anywhere between 20-40% off depending on the deal.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 R2-D2 hasn't been around for 2yrs yet and I expect this iconic character to hang around for a lot longer. I picked up 2 in late 2012 from LEGO Shop at Home with 10% and VIP and none since. If something was going to outlive the DS, this would be it I think. I'm certainly not rushing to buy more just yet.

Often I'll notice them avaialble when I don't have my gift cards on hand, only to return the next day and they're gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
