amazon buybox at $115 and then it gets up to $130 pretty quickly.

sometimes its just this easy .

and the hard part is having the courage to listen to your instinct and order dozens while they are available and not fall victim to the illusion of plenitude.

amazing, and true. For me it was more the fear of getting banned...... Yet, I still got a bakers dozen

I fell victim to the illusion of plenitude.  But I did buy 10 of the Obi Wan today on SAH, so perhaps I will be on the wrong side of that plenitude.  Either way, there is plenitude plenitude to go around. Plenitude.

Ha, at least we get a GWP! I bet these Obi Wans get cleared out pretty quick.

got my 3 bespin duel's (that were backordered) delivered from Lego SAH yesterday. Minty fresh.

[KShine]

Received today - I must say that this is one pretty packaged set.

Agreed. Displays beautifully in the box. Really like the new design using the black packaging theme.

Still have 3 minty ones. Sold one with slight creasing on front for $99.95 shipped.

[melting]

Mine showed up from SAH, not perfect but not terrible.

[Ogelwoc]

Got mine. Is the consensus that LEGO won’t fire up the machine and produce few batches again? They must have been seeing the demand on the secondary market for this set.

95 shipped is the current floor, but a few with for a creased box at 93.

many others sitting at the 99.99 level.

The dip never happened.  I'm impressed.

Thanks. I’m going to hang on to my stash then. Flipped a couple more than double buy in. Price is all over the place in Canada.

down to 240  on eBay and multiple sales over 100.

Looks like next stop is 150

I slept on the first round (busy day at work) so this is my redemption... I wanted one for myself as a desk toy and at least 2 to sell off

[gmpirate]

I assume all will be cancelled if you previously ordered the limit.

the order just doesn't go through. i think you eventually get an email that says you've hit your limit on it.

Their website will cancel the orders.  And no one knows the time limits.  Best guesses have been to wait 30 days but there are "some" sets I've tried reordering that have still been cancelled after 30.

ok, so no harm in trying then.

Just afraid of the perma-ban like what happened to my buddy a few years back.

Thanks

let us know how it goes.  The order will go through initially, but you will receive a follow up email pretty quickly notifying you of the cancellation.

[MotorCityMuscle]

went TOOS. let us know if it went through.

Woops, had my Target and SAH quantities confused and ordered (1) too many. Cancelled automagically about 10 minutes later. I still had one in the cart and while it said TOOS, I was still able to complete checkout and get another order number. Strange, I've never been able to do that before. Have a TOOS item in my cart and buy it, that is.
