6 months ago I was kicking myself almost everyday for missing out on more of these... willing to snag them at retail if need be. How the turn tables. 

And in 6 months you'll be kicking yourself for other reasons...

Received my Saturn V from Amazon.  Set is sealed in a cardboard shipping box and then placed in a second box with loose packing paper.  Arrived in perfect condition.  Below are the labels on the sealed shipping box.  Not sure if any insight can be gained...

No need, it says 92176 right there on the outer box. It's fresh new ones. Interesting that Amazon has them before Lego.com does. Also, Amazon needs to correct their listing to have the correct set #. 

Ship in a Bottle is back now also on Amazon:

over MSRP but that'll change soon.

Fair enough, I understand not wanting to crack open a shipper in prime condition. Many of us are curious exactly what little changes, if much at all, will be on these new boxes. We'll get more and more info in the coming days I'm sure. Thanks for sharing!

I'd return them.  They listed the incorrect product number and what's the point in having them now.

We're Curious to what changes were made if any to the box besides" Ideas" removed and number.

Jeez what if this is part of a new thing whereby Lego re-releases sets exclusively for amazon. That would be s**t for those who sell on amazon.

This might be the day to merge the Daily Deals thread with the Bubble thread

lego and amazon already have a history of replacing an exisiting set with an exact remake.

elsa magical ice palace (41148) had an identical remake immediately after EOL  -> 43172.  (deja vu) 43172 took over 41148's listing on amazon screwing all the 41148 resellers since you couldn't legitimately sell it under that listing anymore.  you can look up the reviews on the current amazon 43172 listing and they go back to 2017 before 43172  was even released - because they took over 41148s reviews.  i am not surprised at all if amazon just sticks the saturn v remake under the old listing with the new set number since they already did it once.  just another slap in the face of resellers.

It looks like the set was produced in Mexico in September 2020.

It would be helpful for us to see if anything like the box art has changed or if it is essentially a carbon copy of the older set with new numbers. 

A pic I found online, only partial tho. Appears the box art is the same.

I didn't have time to take more pics this morning and didn't even look long enough to see the number change.

I don't mind opening the shipper, what's the fun of collecting if you can't even enjoy the artwork.

 

To all the people hoping fans will desire the original: Only morons would pay for a different number on the box.

Just a fyi, the GameStop website is advertising Slave 1 for under $80. Last time I checked there were 2 of them at a Target in Columbus Ohio. They should be able to price match, if you know what you're doing.

Target (at least here) only price matches in stock items . Unless you find someone who doesn’t care about their job.
