January 9, 201412 yr Pretty sure I`d pass on this, though it depends what your taxes would be. Double VIP would give you $25 towards a future purchase, so would theoretically drop the drive to $225. Unless tax is $25, it`s not a whole heck of a deal. That`s the deciding factor though I think.
January 9, 201412 yr @rtisan is right. I would wait for double VIP points or perhaps the May Star Wars promotion where you can sell the exclusive minifigure for $15-20. If you have a Discover card you can also get 5% cashback on the LEGO site which knocks out most of the tax.
January 9, 201412 yr Yeah, a good promotion from S&**** will probably leave you better off overall in the long run. Even if you can't wait for May the 4th, wait for double VIP points + a good polybag. Since it is pretty early in the cycle for this set, no rush.
Ewok village new for 250 but no taxes. Deal or no Deal
