Can't really go wrong with this set. 
If it does bomb, then it would make a great gift to any gender & age group.

Buy 2x in eBay TRU store and use the $15 off coupon, if you haven't use it...

The eBay coupon was a flash coupon expired right?

Correct

The fact that you guys are saying if it will do well and looking to buy some from retail outlets just shows how big the US Lego market is.

Here in the Aussie market it barely made it to a few retailers, with only a couple of drops last year.

By the time it retired last year, all stock in the wild was virtually gone. It is now selling here for 2x RRP.

The Birds set didn't make it to any retailer here in The Netherlands. And because we also don't have an official LEGO store in The Netherlands, the only way to buy the Birds set in The Netherlands was through the Lego LEGO Shop at Home site. Cheapest you can get it now is for €80 which is about US$ 90...

A great example of how different the US market is. I'd happily swap out Super Heroes for Birds sets.

Turds for Birds - I like it.

Toys R Us with coupons, TRUTH, and discounted GC takes it below $30.

If you can find it at TRU, and use the 20% off coupon in the beginning of the TRUTH thread, it should come to sub $40. It is available on TRU online.

Toys R Us:

in store with 20% coupon and discounted GC from eBay would get you around 30 ish and a free Ninjago.

easier...buy $100 Babies r Us GC from PayPal Digital Gifts on eBay for $85 (6.80 back as eBay bucks) 

buy 2 online at toys r us for 42.99 ea and used discounted GC works out to just below 40 after tax not counting ebay bucks and free Ninjago.

Gotta hustle for the deals these days.

Can you use TRU GC when buying from TRU thru ebay?

No. eBay does not share its gift card/payments system with TRU's.

Non available within 100 miles.. So online they accept GC and my TRU reward money???? Already have the discounted gift card...

I see this one like most architecture sets.  It's a universal set that can appeal to many people.  This set is just not for kids, and like architecture sets, it will perform about the same over time.   Lego needs to make more sets like this.

I'm not trying to start an argument, just wondering why you say this.

I agree, Birds are not for kids, its for display not play, some parts are delicate and will come off.

Did the $85 GC deal twice .. So after eBay bucks cost me $78 ish For $100 for each card..  Snagged two birds sets fromTRU online for $92  after tax on each order.. (all stores are sold out near me).. Leaves me with $8 on $100 card that cost $78 ..So that is $35 a set!! Sell the 2 flyers and get a little bit more off..not to mention Rewards earned fromTRU.. Thanx guys!

I think there are some sets that lego offers that caters more towards an adult market.  Architecture line is definitely one of them, and i'd say sets like Birds fit the criteria.  When I go into TRU and see birds next to all the other sets like ninjago, superheroes, etc, it just doesn't fit as well.  It's one of those sets that makes more sense in the puzzle section of Barnes and Noble or Books a Million.  Hence, it has more of an adult appeal to it.
