binici Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 When TRU was selling this one for $50 during the holidays it seemed like a decent deal. I missed the boat @ Shop, but realistically, I think everyone wants this set dead already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Agreed. This wasn't even on my radar until it went to 50% off, and even then I only bought 2. Not a huge disappointment if I don't end up getting them, and I still got the free MM from the order. I'm in the same boat, naf. I actually think they will ship because they haven't been cancelled. The two Big Zoos I ordered that were subsequently cancelled were cancelled relatively quickly after the order. I've had the "back ordered" label on my order status for a while now for the PAs.

p8nt4lyfe Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The best deal I got on these was when TRU was giving them away FREE in December with any Lego purchase over $200. I bought some Red 5 X-Wings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysbricks Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 To answer the question if this has happened before, yes. The removed the halloween accessories set right after it was clearance-d out after halloween 2013 and last time I checked it hadn't been added back.

dbroncos59 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I want to buy two of these, one to hold and one to display. I can get a complete used one without the box for $68, should I buy or would I be better off just buying two new at $74? Or are these prices too high to buy at and should I wait on it? Just curious since I haven't seen these in stores by me and I feel they are pretty much done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Tilt Bricks Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The TRUs around me still have them in decent numbers, and I don't think they have sold very well overall. I could be wrong. I'm interested in one for myself and plan on just waiting for another sale before I buy it. They do seem to be an older set though. If you are really worried about missing out, buy one and just hold onto it. If a sale comes along and you can get another, then your good. If not at least you have one for yourself. I just have the feeling they will get cheaper still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwraith Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Love the figures in this set, but not a fan of the build. The TRU's in my area are still packed with them, waiting for a pretty deep clearance to get one for myself if at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroncos59 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I don't have any TRU within an hour of me so guess that's why I haven't seen them. I'll take a trip to one in a few weeks. The figures are the main reason for my interest as well. But a set of them costs pretty much the same as the retail value so figured might as well get the bricks with it and part them out if I don't like the way it looks. Saw that nobody had it around here and it was a 2012 set so I guess I panicked a bit haha thanks for the heads up on TRU, I'll hold off for the moment at least.

I think it was/is a TRU exclusive set. They were MSRP of 109.99 forever and they just had a deal on them for $70+. I think they're trying to get rid of them. It's not much of a set. Like you, I wanted it more for the minifigs. Some are in other sets I want, so I figure I'll wait til it drops more. In the mean time I'll get the others in other sets. You may want to look at that option too. You may not need to get the whole line up in on go after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal TRU price may have been $109.99, but the actual retail on this set was $89.99. Unfortunately, LS@**** had a blowout on these a few months back for $44.98 each.

iahawks550 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just saw about six of them an hour ago. They have been on the shelf forever. Other than that, I suppose I have nothing of value to add to this conversation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmpartz Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I grabbed some up for a decent price of $67 each I have heard it maybe EOL. Flip them quick or hold on for awhile? I didnt see any other thread about this part # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binici Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Looks like TRU has finally blown these out the door... Hope it will return something and even a little spark of interest during the new movies appearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post still applies. There is a reason this set sat I shelves forever... I also have nothing to add to this conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcatsfan Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The 20% off clearance item made this a buy for me, but i only found one. I think there's enough (i think they are) unique figures to generate interest. Buying them at 20% off of 15% off retail makes it a low risk play. not sure i'd go crazy on them, but if you can combine those discounts with teh TRU CC today i'd snag a few.
