I just can't bring myself to purchase anything I wouldn't build myself if I somehow got stranded on an island with it.

heh, guess they finally got the hint after all those messages about a lower price...

Is this a personal preference thing that you just don't like it?  Otherwise I'm not sure I understand.

Omg, I hate having no money  .

Uggh.. Wish Amazon didn't collect tax in CA...

Same here in TX. Tax makes it $390. Pffft. If this set is around Black Friday, there might be better deals. If not, I'll probably just stick with the one I have. I got it cheap on craigslist, can't see buying any more of them for such a measly discount.

I am passing on the SSD. I don't have enough capital and I frankly don't really care for the set at all. The only UCS I actually like is R2-D2.

oof.  Just got the SSD and 2 helms deep.  My wallet is noticeably lighter.

Think I'm passing as well.  Too much gray and likely a pain in the rear to eventually ship safely once I sell given its size.

Basically same conversation here. I think If you have the capital you shouldn't pass, but I would wait for a more significant discount. There will be better ones.

Also CA taxes suck!

Tax in my county is 8.25%, what are you guys in CA paying?

Looks like the DS is the same price as well.

I'm not even mad about passing on this. And if it soars to great heights, I still won't be. If you guys like it, go for it though!

I blew my load on the cheap Imperial Shuttles this morning. I still have plenty enough for an SSD, but feel like I might be better off holding. I'll make a decision by tomorrow if they are still in stock. If not, no big loss.

That..sounds...so...wrong...

Right there with you...

Thanks for the heads up, but I think we would all benefit if most of us showed a little less enthusiasm and a little more self-restraint.  10% off is better than full price, but nothing earth-shattering.  If we all keep jumping at the small discounts, amazon doesn't have any reason to ever make them more substantial.

I had to grab one, this was my first and I really want to build this monster. Better to be safe then sorry right? Actually I will be sorry when my wife receives it.

A great big 9.0.

That bad, huh?

Dude, ewww...

Come on man! 

Come on really? Load = Cash

 

I can't help it if ya'lls minds are in the gutter. 

That Imperial Shuttle is pretty sexy, though. Not worth sacrificing a mint box over. You'd never be able to iron out the wrinkles...

In for one because I don't have one yet.
