I tried to order 14 of them, but my cc stopped them going forward at 6.  
Kinda glad I didn't get all 14, This set will sit for at lease 4 more years before unloading. 
None the less, this is a killer deal.  30% off. 
 

But if it retires suddenly now... I can refer you to the complaint thread.

If it retires suddenly, like within these few months, I wouldn't complain at all.
But you and I know we have at lease another year or 2

Does anyone else think it's odd that Walmart marked these down and yet Target and TRU are sold out..?

  5% discount on Target Red Card means they may have ran out price matching Walmart.

When it was still the Walmart price, I was told Target was PM'ing via telephone.

Smart. Let people believe you've sold out, then when Walmart sells out, you miraculously have more available. Well played Target. Well played...

i was surprised Walmart's $139.99 inventory it lasted as long as it did.  The set was available for a good 8 hours.  Didn't Walmart's last sale on this set ($160 or so) last days in late March?

Maybe people just aren't into this set...

Many are on Vacation these days.

Yup. It was available for days then went back to full price. Never sold out...

hmmm...  could we have another B-Wing on our hand?.  ha.   nah, nothing was that much hated for $199.99

Mine is already showing Shipped w/ estimated delivery of 7/12 (one bought 1 to build).

I don't think its another Bwing. 
2 previous smaller Tie Fighters.  (9492 & 75101)  "May" have something to do with this this set's demand.
You can buy a fleet of 75101 for one UCS Tie.

I hope it becomes another B-wing. And that it may sell out in the US first! gna gna gna

Even more so, Birds is still available at WM. The horde is not what it used to be a few months ago...

more like smart money is not going to go into a non-licensed themed retired Ideas set at MSRP that can't sell out months after formal retirement.  been there  and exo-suited that.

the only reason UCS Tie stuck around for as long as it did today was because this is one of the top vacation weeks of the year and many people were not near the computer or paying attention to brickpicker.  snooze you lose.  i'm up to 8 of UCS Tie - need to get back to UCS Slave I hoarding.

any other week this deal would have been gobbled up under an hour.

UCS Tie and Ewok Village are the only 2 Star Wars exclusives that are limit 1 at shop at home USA which means something or nothing.

personally I think the set looks awesome and the most accurate LEGO representation of a Tie Fighter to date - I haven't built it yet - i'll get a used one to do that and imagine it will do extremely well post EOL.  while certainly not a large ship, it is iconic and part of the best space battle scenes ever shot to film.  at a $138 buyin, there will be a quick path to profit post EOL or perhaps with a holiday shortage.

That is all solid reasoning. I was shocked for a while myself but then thought about people and n vacation as well.

although it can't be proven , but I would be willing to bet that a Slave I or a Ferrari @ 30 % off would have poofed in less than an hour. 

"The horde " <> "Smart Money". Or at least for a significant portion of them.

Exactly my thoughts. Being on vacation hasn't stopped buying before especially with decent smartphones being so common. 

I think either resellers are saving their money due to various reasons or people aren't into this set because it competing Lego Exclusives. 

I once bought four tower bridges (Walmart price mistake) while waiting in line for a Buzz lightyear signature at WDW. Those were the days...

We take vacation to get away from our full time jobs, not Lego buying  (IMO)

Yup. Loved that price mistake. I was actually in the clearance aisle in WM when it hit. [emoji12]
