I haven't picked this set up yet, but will once it gets down in the low 300.00 range. I'm not that crazy about this set, but like everyone else has mentioned, you cannot go wrong with any of the UCS Star Wars sets.....

How does the Taj Mahal still have a higher piece count than this obviously bigger looking structure?

Me and my collegue are both getting one, but the prices in my country are a bit higher. It costs 440$ (when converted from my national currency), but I think it's a good investment and excellent centerpiece for any star wars or lego collector.

I just noticed it the other day. You can still buy the SSD on lego.com. But it is no longer under the exclusive tab on star wars products. Maybe it is going to be EOL soon!?

I love it. Bought 2, one to build, one to invest. It usually retails here for $799 (that's $640 US - yes we get ripped off on price!) and I got them for 30% off.

The SSD has a lot of large plates, while the Taj does not. It is made up with a bunch of small white bricks.

Yeah I also noticed that in Australia lego sets cost almost double than that in the us. If your custom duties aren't too bad you might consider ordering legos from the US.

Me neither.

Did find an Imperial Shuttle yesterday and I posted that on the local deals section... Not sure if you need one or live coose to there but just letting you know! It may stil be there!

Already have Imperial Shuttle Got it from TRU as well, but that was weeks ago. I'm surprised at how many were scoring Imperial Shuttles with TRU hiding it in the back. I don't mind scoring some more Imperial Shuttles, though. I should try going to TRU tmw and asking what they have in the back.. hopefully they got some SSDs too.

If you find some let me know!

Funny things, these SW UCS. One minute they are in stock, and one minute they are "restocking" or "waiting to receive another shipment". TRU always tends to have sets that have EOLed a while ago, mainly because they just store them in the back, and because who wants to buy from Ripoffs R' Us?

The biggest sets my local TRU's have are the vampyre castle and helms deep. I've never seen a UCS set at any of them, but I sure would love too.

At my local Lego store, the employees stated the SSD is being discontinued. They said they have 7 in stock and won't be getting any more. The lego website still shows having them available. Anyone know if it's retirement time for this set, and if so, should we be rushing out to buy one if we don't have one already?

I haven't heard any retirement talk about this set, I also haven't heard anyone on this site rushing out to get one. You do know that your LEGO store employees have no idea when a set is going to EOL right?

I agree. Though on occasion, TLG will discontinue a set at a random point it time, but alot of times they do this during great promotions, the summer releases, and winter releases. For example the Clone Turbo Tank (8089?) was discontinued during the "May the Fourth Be With You" Promotion with the exclusive chrome minifig arriving with orders over $75. Sure, its possible, but I doubt that your Lego employee has any idea about any EOLing. The Death Star was supposed to EOL during the summer wave last year according to misled employees. I will keep this in mind, but am not going to rush out and buy some at the moment.

Yay! 300 comments/posts!

Yeah Lego employees never seem to know EOL dates........

I soooooo wish they did!
