Studebricker Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I loved this ship when it came out for the design and the figs. The price will shoot up eventually and that's when I'll cash mine in. If I found a couple more at a discount I would buy a few... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ended up buying 2 more sets that were left, I guess other people got wind and swallowed up most of the retail stock...when I bought my first 5 there were over 99 sets left. used a different promo code so price came down by $2 per unit to $45 each CAN - decent. So 7 sets in total which is good enough, hope price/demand shoots up eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozer_max Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 TRU by me has Palpatines Arrest for $75 through tomorrow. Decent price to pick a few up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boliramirez Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I would save my money for some 9474 Helms Deep...... instead of the Palpatines arrest set..... my 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolanfan34 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The only had just over a year shelf life, was a TRU exclusive....starting to think it's an interesting sleeper set more and more. Only problem is there's really nothing in the new movies that will ever tie back to it to generate new interest, outside of people rewatching the whole series...

Achilles Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Just because it was mentioned, what exactly was the deal with the Home One set? It looks like a nice set, good minifigures, etc etc, why was it such a flop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickleboy Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The new movie doesn't have to tie directly into anything to create more interest...sure it helps if it is in the new movie but any star wars movie creates more interest for anything Star Wars.

nolanfan34 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have wondered that as well, I think a few things. No jedi's. Recognizable characters, but no "stars" (although I bought this originally just for an Ackbar figure for 'it's a trap' jokes.) Kind of a weird play structure. Is it a ship? A hanger? It is pieces of both and sort of hard to recognize. That being said, it is starting to creep back up a bit looking at sold listings. It is a great case study for why you do fixed listings for some things vs. auctions. The auctions are ending around $60-70, and fixed listings are selling for $98 with free shipping. So there is some demand there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it would just be cool if there was that chance somehow. I think it makes sense that if somehow the B-Wing is included in episode 7, it would get a boost, etc, which this set might not have the chance to do. But concur that Star Wars VII will just help the whole line period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I personally love this set, but can see why it wouldn't catch on with most. The exclusive figures have little name recognition and aren't even cult figures like bounty hunters or anything. Even poor Lando is not much in demand, even though in some ways he's the most complex of all the characters. The A-wing is exclusive in colour only, and now there is a stand alone version. Location sets are rather rare for Star Wars but this location is not that recognizable or significant. Notwithstanding all this, it is a fun set, and has a lot of interactive features to it. I love spinning the A-wing an Ackbar around and this set gave me my first Lando figure. I would be willing to buy more hangars to expand the size of the set and give me somewhere to park my other rebel fighter ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I would only buy this set at a massive discount (60% off) personally. That won`t happen up here. It is not a very attractive set even with the mini figures, and I would hate to be stuck with any. I`m sure you could get some value for it, but IMHO money is better spent elsewhere.

binici Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Just came back from TRU and I saw that they had the set for 25% off, which basically made it MSRP... I would say that $40 would be a great price, otherwise, I'll be passing for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 So do you guys think this will be worth snagging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Honestly, I`d grab maybe 1-2. Just for the mini figures. You should be able to make something off of those later on. Wouldn`t do more then that though. Most people including myself regard this one like the Mon Calamari set, in that it will also be a dud. Basically, buy to part out & figures, not to necessarily keep as a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Link to this deal? I saw it mentioned elsewhere but I haven't seen where the info comes from. The catalog mention $74.99, but at $60 I would probably pick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'll see if I can find a link, but the summary is this Wednesday ONLY it will be $60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
