Guest ph4tb0i Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I notice the confirmation emails aren't coming through yet. But maybe that's just me. I sure wouldn't want to be working in their warehouse the next few days... Better than some canadian retailers that queue you through a 20 minute "virtual checkout" before you can pay for your order.. Very impressed. Thanks Lego + Brickpicker! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolanfan34 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I had it in my head that I was gonna rush out and buy two of these, but now I'm not so sure. Here are some facts 1. There are only 47 sold listings on ebay. So about 15 per month. 2. The average sale seems to be 180 with free shipping. 3. The whole Lego community tends to agree it's a crap set. Who ever heard of a 200 dollar ucs set falling apart?? An unremarkable toy is still unremarkable when it's 50% off. And who needs another han solo? This is my first May the 4th since coming out of my dark ages, and I am woefully disappointed. I'm staying home. Just my $.02. Even if all of this is true - if you can flip one in the next couple of months and net at least $150, then you're still holding a 2nd one for roughly $50, which for the pieces alone is a good investment. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_rockefeller Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I love the set, so I beg to differ.I seriously cannot believe how hard it is to please some people.......like in said before LEGO could be giving away the store and no doubt someone would complain because they had to pay for gas to drive there........holy ridiculousness Batman!!!!!

Guest ph4tb0i Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just got both confirmations. Not sure if this is an indication of the volume Lego was dealing with but the #s on my confirmations were apart by 10073. Orders were confirmed 22 minutes apart.

hepcatpunk Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Got hung up on the Confirm part for 15 minutes....no B-Wings for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I notice the confirmation emails aren't coming through yet. But maybe that's just me. In previous S@H sales, I did not get confirmation emails until the next day but got all of my orders no problem. So I wouldn't sweat it :coolsmile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. Parts value alone is way worth it. I checked. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Okay, maybe crap was a bit of a harsh judgement. And the B-wing was always one of my fave ships, even over the x-wing.... Maybe I'll get one to build and hope it stays in one piece. By the way, anyone else concerned about how quickly these sold out? Maybe Lego only put aside half their inventory for this sale. Either way, the hype alone will almost guarantee an increase in b-wing sales at retail in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickleboy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Grrr no confirmation email yet but they did give me my rewards points....still nervous until I get it. I did print a copy of my order confirmation though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I am guessing they wanted to eradicate their stock so they can release a revised version at a $150 price point. And it got great press and will get people into the stores tomorrow to buy other goodies. I picked up one to build, it's a beautiful set on display. But I didn't think it was a good investment. Too new and too many unknowns this early.I personally think they wanted to give people a good deal for star wars day.......I'm naive like that sometimes though.

brickswomortar Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 All I wanted was one B-wing. Thanks a lot to all of those people that gobbled up more than 5. So much for just wanting one for my collection. Greedy SOB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm nervous enough about over saturation with this set and too many investors owning it compared to builders. I'm gonna draw the line at five sets and hold onto them for a good five years.

I have a strange feeling it may open up again at different points through the weekend, so if you didn't get one, keep checking here or on LEGO to see if happens. Maybe they just shut it down and at some other point tomorrow and Sunday will sell another 1000 or so. Who knows, just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say what you want about how unappreciative everyone is, but the fact remains that Lego neverrrrrr discounts, and when they do, they discount their least popular set. A company with its customers' satisfaction in mind would discount something people have been waiting to buy but can't afford at full retail, like R2, SSD, the falcon, a brand new x-wing, etc. Let's not let our love of their little bricks delude us into thinking TLG is generous. They are not. They're the most expensive place to buy their own products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah they just need to clear out shelf & display space for the new UCS X-Wing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
