75171 Battle on Scarif is ~40% off. $39.97

Amazon is now matching this price... in case Costco gets tapped out and anyone wants a few more.

  • There goes $1000 on a squadron of $39.97 tie fighters..LOL

  • Well there wasn't much left but still 4 demolition sets + 2 swamp set at 24.97$ each good deal quick to flip 

  • Yup! A .97 indicates final clearance and A .79 indicates a special price from the supplier. These were at 119.79 last week, and now they are 99.97, so it is safe say this set is at EOL

Only 28 BWEs left. Let's hope they don't bring anymore of these in!

I see some new arrivals on the site, including Technic sets, so they may be getting ready to move the older sets out... here's hoping... :)

Notably, the largest new set 6x6 all terrain town truck at $259.99 vs retail of $369.99.... Discounts on new Technic sets are in the 25-30% off range...

Costco is great!

I need more technic parts!

it certainly is awesome for us Technic builders.  I don't see any value in the 6x6 even at $110 off.  There are several unique / rare pieces which I will just order through BnP's.

I'm hoping they also list the extreme adventure set as that is the only one I'd want.

Me too I'm cleaning Lego out of those teddy's! Oh yeah! :)

Every Technic MOC needs a TEDDY!

Anyone know how many 6 x 6's they had? Seems cleared as of now. Also, still have 28 bwe's... A slow agonizing death. Don't see Costco getting any more of those!

Not really interested in the 6x6...mostly curious

Beautiful, gives me more time to restock.

Are people south of the border actually paying a premium for this? Amazon.ca has had Costco's price matched for months now, can't imagine anyone willing to pay remotely close to RRP for this any time soon in Canada anyway...

If you have stock, you just need to be patient. List it anything above $249USD and wait. You will get at least one sold a month. Even target is selling it for 279USD and got one sold.

269USD will get it sold too.

Yes, but there's not a lot of meat on the bone at the sold prices of $260-280US shipped. It's a big expensive box to ship, unless you get a West Coast buyer.

Those were my thoughts too, $280 + shipping would be alright I guess, that's retail, but I don't think anyone is going to buy from me at that price while $229 copies are widely available still. 

 

And Chris, you realize those listings don't actually tell us anything concrete right? Those individuals have their items listed at those prices right now. Doesn't reflect in the slightest whether their X copies Sold were sold at that same price.... likely it was lower and they've crept the price up, like most of us do with multiple copies...

there's enough meat on the bone if you live in one of the following places: Niagara Falls, Vermont border with Quebec, Sweet Grass (Montana/Alberta border), South Vancouver (to Blaine or Point Roberts), Abbotsford/Sumas Border Crossing. Assuming you got these from TRU a few weeks ago at $170ish after taxes in CAD, you dump them at $200USD and you'll rack up a 25% gain easily. Even on a day where you have a horseshoe up your behind, you wouldn't be able to gain 25% in the stock markets.

I agree. That $229.99 price point is killing the opportunity to make much of a profit off of it (for those who got it half off). I'd never consider getting it at this price point.

I may get one or two for personal use but am in no hurry as it's listed at Costco.ca and similar to the BWE will likely be listed below retail price for some time canibalizing all other retailers and resellers until retirement.

I know you get more of than normal power functions with this RC set which helps explain the price difference but for me the IR is useless as are the m motors.  As a technic builder I look at this set and only like some of the new red pieces, the red #3 connector, the new blue panels and the black panels.  The big wheels are nice too for those who didn't get their fair share with the Claas.   Everything else is common and the a/b models are below average as well. Definitely not something I would want to display.

My $0.02.
