Just got back from my local Target (Greater Vancouver Area).  This weekend only spend $50 in store and receive a $10 gift card free valid store wide.  I bought $50 in groceries to get my free gift card.

 

I also noticed my store had the new imperial Star Destroyer 75055 on sale for $105 (reg $149.99) 30% discount! I didn't see this sale in their flyer, so not sure if this is sale chain wide or not. So I bought my groceries, put them in my car, and went back in to buy the set. $105 less 5% using my Red Card: $99.75 plus 12% HST = $111.72, less $10 gift card: $101.72!  PLUS THEY GAVE ME ANOTHER $10 GIFT CARD for my purchase!  The fine print says one gift card per customer but they don't seem to enforce it.   It was the same teller for the second purchase and she knew I had just got the gift card a few minutes earlier but was happy to give me another, I didn't even ask for it..

 

Pretty sweet deal I think.  I wanted one for my collection and I doubt I'll ever get it cheaper than that.  Might be worth checking your local Target store this weekend if you want one.  

 

Good luck!

In case anyone cares, there was 1x 75055 still on the shelf at Target Willowbrook earlier today

I care! All the targets were dry last week when I did a look around my locals. Want one for personal but it'll be tight trying to get there for tomorrow, thanks!

Good luck! On a side note, I'm disappointed with BP's price guide for seriously misleading me on the current value of this set. I was wondering how it could possibly be so high for a 2014 set, must be some bad data in the set

I think you need to be realistic about how that data gets aggregated across thousands of listings and understand your market some...

When a listing shows bad data, if people politely ask Jeff to look into it he usually sorts it out quite quickly.

A few might sell for inflated prices at the start. People may be selling this with other sets which artificially inflates the price.

Besides, it's a 2014 set that hasn't really gone on sale anywhere yet but has gone TOOS on S@H. What exactly are you expecting it to do 30 days after initial release?

Yea it's not bad data, just not up to date. Remember the data is collected from eBay monthly, which means you're probably looking at July data when the set was not widely released so people who wanted it would be paying a premium for it.

Don't confuse what I'm saying here, I didn't expect it to be worth anything but retail at this point. I was just disappointed because I did a quick lookup on my phone and saw a big number, but found it wasn't quite accurate when I took a more thorough look later. Not really unexpected or surprising, just got a bit excited at first that's all.

IMO an initial inflated price just means a few morons, ahem, respectable buyers purchased them from quick flippers who got their hands on them early. Lots of people found them in the wild before the scheduled Aug 1 release.

 

I get it... I like to get new stuff too, but you have to be very desperate or have money to burn to buy them before day one.
