See, target is smart. Now folks will be forced at $500 each which everyone knows is cheaper than what it was at ebay and amazon.

If Target is smart, then TRU is freakin GENIUS :D :D

Nevermind, sold out on target.com

More like here comes the "is it retired" or "is it coming back" speculation.

Just for giggles, Let me be the "it is coming back" advocate. If I were TLG I would scramble to create more to fulfil the ever increasing demand.

I can't even comprehend what the "news on the 10188 death star" thread is gonna look like one day.

If in fact it is gone.

+1 for lower limits pointing to retirement

-1000 for the catalog meaning didly squat

This is old news. Just search for older posts on this forum and you'll see the proof

Not meaning anything to this thread - yes - Ink does cost a LOT of money.  Printing is my job.

Stephen,

Haven't you heard about the Death Star 10188?

 

There won't be a thread on it retiring - since I think I am the only one who loves this as I have been told apparent non to scale, non UCS, designed for kids, not going to appreciate very well set.  Since I've picked up on that sentiment, perhaps if I had the cash, I should buy a warehouse and fill it with them. Then I'll be the only one left with them to flip when they do retire  

I don't think that is the sentiment on this set at all. People are just not talking about it because this one seriously has us stumped. It's a winner investment wise and everyone knows it. Some just don't want to admit it.

The only issue that has been discussed here is the longevity of the production run.

Oops my bad!

This isn't a bad idea, but I think you would still have some stiff competition. I hear there's some guy named emazers that has around 800-900 of these!

In stock at Target, $499.99

Now that it's Call to check product Availability do you think we are absolved from the recent purchase limit of 1?  I'll probably pass this round but I fall for peer pressure easily.
