damn this forum. another $400 down the target's throat. i hope it comes in a lego shipper

So an insider says there will be a replacement in 2016?  I find that very hard to believe as there are NEW two super weapons in the new movie.  And we don't know if it's a 400 dollar set, or a 40 dollar "two dudes fight in a death star room."  

IIRC, it was something to the effect of bigger & better...

One I received from Target they removed the Lego shipper...

TRU.ca has sold 2 or 3 of them the past 2 days, with around 37 in stock. Gunna be a while fellow Canadians! (gives me more time to get airmiles TRU cards though)

Looks like a bunch sold on eBay already this morning, was this at like 112 late yesterday evening?  This doesn't include any that are being sold on Targets own website either.  Not sure how much stock they might have.

   Na Na Na Na,..... Na Na Na Na,..... Hey Hey Hey.............Good Bye.

Doing my part to clean them out. I imagine they have a few hundred. It could get real slow once their repricing algorithm takes effect and they bump to $499.

I could be a nice change if they sell out before they reprice them.

When stuff like this happens, I think of all the sellers that aren't paying attention on eBay & Amazon right now & selling too low...

Yeah i just looked there as well.  Maybe Target and Walmart shared the same stock?  I didn't think Walmart was out yet.  Wow!

Jeez trek can we have one panic per week at most?  

Got my amazon order from 2 days ago.  Big dent in middle of box and one seal messed up.  Looks like it was scraped against something, not opened, but if I'm worried I'm sure a buyer in 5 years would worry!  Does Amazon offer discount on damaged boxes?  It did not ship in outer Lego box, just death star in huge box with one piece of crumpled paper on top.

I got 2... must resist buying more for Retail Price... worth it?

This may be the end, but it may be a shortage created by the panic that the set is going EOL. I, for one, am not convinced that it is gone.

yes, between 10-30% depending on the extent of the damage 

Plenty left in Europe

Yes.  In the future, you'll regret not buying more now if you resist.

Amazon's business model looks more and more genius as time goes on.  Basically, they sell their final 1000 or so to resellers, who then put it back on amazon at inflated prices, hoping to make 10.00, meanwhile while amazon takes a majority of their profits by scoring another 15% from their sales.  So, not only do they make retail on selling them out, but they also make continual residual income on those products later. 

The movie Rogue One is coming out in December of next year.  It takes place right before the events of Episode 4, and the movie's premise is based on rebels stealing the death star plans.  The Death Star is a main part of the movie, so yes, I think the rumors of a new Death Star based on this movie are very accurate, now that this death star is retiring.  The rumors earlier this year was that this Death Star would retire by summers end, so that the new one could be released next year. 

What happens if Rogue One doesn't have a built Death Star?  What if it's just about the plans?
