So between eBay TRU & etoys, although they weren't available for a full 24 hours, they sold over 400 within 24 hours.

Several 10 unit purchases too. Probably people from this site lol.

Very popular set, as expected. Should be a good flip for a couple weeks.

At $10 premium, barely any profit probably;  this will run deep on inventory if Big Bang Theory is any indication of inventory.  It's everywhere initially;  doubt quick flip will be on the table;  xmas is whole other scenario depending on inventory on this.

It was not a $10 premium. $60 is retail as far as we know. That's what Amazon was charging.

When does this one come available at Lego SaH? I haven't seen anything yet here in Europe.

September 1st

$49.99

I stand corrected. Those greedy bastards!

I'm much more willing to pick this up for myself at $50 vs $60

$49.99

weird Amazon charged over rrp

i pre-ordered it through amazon at the $59.99 price, should I cancel my preorder and wait till it comes out at the $49.99 price? So I guess it is official that it is supposed to be $49.99 and not $59.99?

Doesn't Amazon have a pre-order price guarantee?

I think they guarantee that you get the lowest Amazon price before it ships.  If amazon doesn't lower its price to $49.99 then we're stuck at the $59.99 price.  I would think they'd lower the price after it is released, so after it is shipped.  Anybody else preordered through amazon or have any ideas?

I don't recall Amazon selling over list on any Lego. Does anyone else remember differently?

I believe I had this issue on the rancor pit when it first came out. Even brickset had it listed at msrp wrong. Then once Lego released many corrected

Yes 49.99 wrong MSRP

They corrected the price on your pre-order?  so you were charged the actual MSRP price, which was lower than your preorder price?

At that point it wasn't s preorder. It was a release that was earlier than Lego released.

$20 profit on a $60 set is not terrible, in my opinion.

30% profit isn't bad. Multiply that by 10+ and now you're talking.

Just got the TRU pre-order and the box is HUUUGE (like Trump says).    If the MSRP really is $49.99, its a steal.  Time for some QFLL action.

 

More like fat! Hope there isn't a lot of dead space in there.

I thought Lego was trying to reduce box size. Jeez. 

Does anybody know what will be the Lego SAH limit on Sept 1st. One or two I guess. 

That's a nice looking box, if a bit on the large side.
