Jeff Mack Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 i can only imagine the # % of B-Wings purchased through Lego and TRU online done by brickpickers... All the LEGO sites were posting it, I am sure there was a lot from all over, but I am sure a ton were sold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c4dreams Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Man I'm so angry. Amazon has the B-wing for $179 now. They obviously were watching BP and ordered as many as they could so they could resell them for a profit. Oh yeah, Target and Walmart are selling it for $199. So, obviously they got in on the $99 deal and bought as many as they could too. Now, all the kids who NEED Legos and can't afford $199 but could afford $99 are out of luck just because these jerk stores want to make a profit. What kind of country is this where some companies (or people) can try and make a profit off of other people (especially children!)?

They are just lowering the price since users (like me) contacted them with lower priced links (e.g. TRU) or probably hope those who missed the $99 price will shop there while still getting a nice discount.

Veegs Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Man alive, I grabbed mine just after midnight, saw a couple posts from the Macks and a couple others, then went straight to bed. If I had known the poo was going to hit the fan, I might have stayed up a little longer. Nothing like a big sale to rile people up! Who knew Lego investing could be filled with such rancor?

exciter1 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I personally think this was a clearance. That or we have significantly underestimated the amount of investors. 45 minutes into the sale and they are sold out. If this was a sale that they were planning on making a profit on, they would have realized the market that was available for this deal and planned accordingly. I would have liked to have been able to get one, but I'm not paying anyone $180 for it. I will say I am surprised that they had the limit all of the way up to 5. You have to remember, this deal was also advertised on Slickdeals.com. Those guys have millions of followers and they'll buy 5 of anything, as long as they mutually agree it's a good deal.

comicblast Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I hope amazon drops its today..It may drop a little more, but with this hype, I am going to have to guess that they will sell out before it gets to $150, which is not to shabby of a deal, on a regular day. Today is no regular day though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beartrapper Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I placed two separate orders just after midnight for 1 being each so I could get two of the mini figs and it looks like one of my orders was cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just arriving from the store. When they opened people went either for the X Wing or B Wing, it was not bad at all, but apparently they only had around 15 B Wings that dissapeared in less than 10 minutes. Grabbed one of each, and they threw in one Han and One frigate on each transaction. Pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolbox1 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I wanted to thank the original poster of the deal. I stayed awake until midnight and ordered one. Also can we assume that this set is now eol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
