Any idea when the Death Star will be discontinued? It's been around about 4 years...way past normal set lifespans in stores. Thoughts?

  • Hanging is by far the best way to display it.  It has a hollow core, so we used a small piece of wood painted black with an eye bolt and picture hanging wire.  That way its supported from the bottom.

$289

Where did you get it (if you care to tell)?

The 10188 sold for $309 for a short while on Amazon and I bought two on TRU for $300 apiece with the BOGO 50% off. $289 is a price that could have been seen on eBay at times in some auctions.

Was that an advertised price? Where was that from?

Since you asked so nicely, of course!

Yes, it was advertised, at Walmart last October. Didn't last long. I picked up a few though.

And since I'm assuming the haters are going to continue to hate, I've attached a screen grab of my receipt. It's all I can do. And I assure you, I have better things to do than go around on internet forums lying about the price point I bought a few lego death stars at.

At 289$ you were very well bought, and should do extremely well whenever this venerable set eventually does see retirement. I only hope investors get a sustained shot at sub 300$ prior to this set's departure. Another one that will be very interesting to see what the price does in the aftermath once it EOLs.

I bought it when it was at the $309 price point. I was lucky enough to have about $60 in Bing Rewards I could cash in at the time of purchase. I also made sure to use Amazon gift cards I buy at a local grocery chain (Kroger) for 4x fuel points in December. It worked out pretty well.

I check the price of these daily so when they are reduced I can pounce. However, I went to look just now and it does not look like they are for sale from Amazon.com right now (which seems weird).?.?.?.

I hope you are right! I just exchanged some airline miles for Amazon gift cards, so I can purchase the SSD! :)

On S&****, the Imperial Superstar Destroyer isn't listed any more.

Did it get discontinued or something?!?!?!

Death Star is still on the website though, but I guess this isn't much of a surprise as it has been out for 5+ years.

**Edit: False alarm. Not on starwars.lego.com, but it is on the Lego shop. Some glitch or something. Sorry if this caused any confusion. ;)

I see both of them...

I guarantee someone panic bought one of these sets because of this thread lol

Haha yep!

If you think that it is too confusing to people, you could delete those comments right there though...

No hard feelings :)

For some reason, Amazon still has a ridiculous price of $469.99 on the Death Star 10188!

I almost did, but then saw it was still on LEGO Shop at Home. It's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Keep in mind that the set you see for $469 is from a private seller (STL PRO, Inc), NOT Amazon directly.

I see both of them...

Not for sale from amazon you dont and not for the same price they were at yesterday. 10188 was $358 and 10221 was $379...

Sorry, I was responding to the post right above mine that said they could not see the 10221 on LEGO Shop at Home. I just didn't use the quote feature.

They will both be back at Amazon soon. There is no way they sold that many in that short of time.

Gotcha! I'll have my gift cards ready!

I'm nervous, Tower Bridge (10214) is now not available as well (best price is $299, I'm glad I got one previously). However, my amazon gift cards arrived today. I am trying to hold out for the SSD, but I now am in love with the haunted house as well... Darnit! Sorry for the language! :)
