Hey... so if I maxed out how many I can buy online, do they track that for my in-store purchases? Like, could I go to the Lego store and buy more of them?

LEGO only enforces that limit per purchase online... you could buy the max 5 of something in one purchase and immediately make another purchase of 5. You do however risk having your purchase history flagged for review. In store, unless there is a "limit" sign on the shelf price tag they may let you walk out with 20 or they might not.
Again though, if you purchase all with the same credit/debit card and/or VIP account you'd be a fool to think LEGO can't and won't connect the dots between your purchases.... that said, some flout the rules and have never been caught. Others have purchased very little and been banned. It's all YMMV and purchase at your own risk!

 

Last call for those who want to jump on the ship. Targets back to 199.99 usd online. 

amazon just restocked with 19 of them

I'm in for 2 more

Just noticed 10240 is available again at LEGO Shop at Home NL

Also UK, limit 1.

Snagged a $199 USD Red Five from Target on eBay. They are now sold out at this price. Happy to have picked one up at the "discount"

Lego Store in Chicago (Michigan Ave.) has about 5 minty Red Five's on their shelf. 41R5 codes. 

should I buy these? there's 3 at local Lego store

If you don't have any, I would suggest at least one...

Although I far surpassed my Lego budget, I bought one Red5 and an AT AT, plus got 2 free GBHs

GBH looks a little bit like Ghostbusters Headquarters *g*

 

All nice sets though!

Got two of these but paid £170 each, worth getting anymore short term ?.

Shame no money off like the Slave1 at the moment.

Could be a long hold, plenty got them in UK at <£100

Ouch less £100, bugger might build one then 

It´s now in stock at SAH - like PS it just wont go away and 2015 retirement now looks less and less likely for both

This is the set I would like to see gone the most

Not sure where to ask this (so 10240 thread gets the question!).  

Assuming this does retire early 2016 how well do you think it will do compared with the UCS b-wing?  Thinking of taking a punt on buying a 10240 (at retail) with the intention of trading for a 10227 once the 10240 QFLL stock starts to dry up.  Or am just chasing the rainbow?

I would think it will pass by 10227 quite easily. 

Lego might milk this set a little bit longer, there were many at the BM stores. 
You know, I would have done the same.  No sense in retiring an epic plane Right Now.

I think it's already done in the US, and whatever is left over in the EU is it.  Once it goes out there, it gets the retirement tag.  While there maybe a few here and there in the B&M stores, it's probably not a lot of stock to last into february.  I'd suspect we see a lot of retirement tags around that time, and this will be one of them.

I hope so.  it does say "Sold Out"
