Yes I am a geeky Star Wars nerd and already watched the first episode early this morning.  Will keep it short and sweet.  I thought it was very good and look forward to seeing where they go with it.  I am sure this thread will fill up with spoilers and episode discussion, so stay away if you do not want to get upset.

I also thought Disney+ was well organized and put together.  Looking forward to watching some other movies I haven't seen in a long time.

#1 Best Seller in Building Toys as of right now

In for 3 more.

It never felt like a discount to me. It's been on "discount" almost it's entire lifespan. More like MSRP without the Mandolorian tax, comparing to the previous rogue one AT-ST being $40 MSRP. 
I think I'm going to wait. #1 bestseller on Amazon is impressive, but maybe Lego will actually discount it for retirement.

540 pieces so the $50 retail isn’t bad considering a “normal” Disney Star Wars tax should have priced this set around $60.

$40 is a good deal in my opinion, as I’ve been buying these up at that price before this news was announced. Now I’m buying from Target at $50 plus red card to cost average them to around $45.

Yes, I’m sure some people will find these on some crazy local Walmart clearance for $20-$30, but those opportunities will be few and far between. If you want to acquire volume, now is the time to buy. If you’re only trying to get one for personal use, then wait and hope for the best.

Can we get Target to price match the Amazon price?

Notice she's already rep'd by someone else.  Didn't take long for someone else to be willing to take her on.

I haven’t tried yet, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t. The problem is that I don’t think they will match all of them if you have a cart full, but rather only 1-2. That means if you’re looking for volume it will require many trips with hopefully a different CSR each time. That policy might vary by store though.

Time is valuable, so I’d rather just buy them all at once in the self check out and be on my way. When these get re-sold 2-3 years from now that $10 difference won’t really matter in my opinion. To some it might.

Others with more experience price matching at Target can probably offer some more insight.

I see Amazon has a limit of three per order, but you can place multiple orders right? Or is it a hard limit? Just asking since you're buying at Target for $10 more.

It’s a hard limit of three per week I believe. I bought three a couple of days ago and tried to place another order last night but it wouldn’t let me. It should reset once a week has passed from your first order.

I think it went away for a minute and then came back (the price drop date on the deals list is the 12th), I think when that happens the limits reset sometimes.

It’s no joke. This set is gonna steamroll the rest.

I heard somebody said that about Steamrollers once

Bought 3 yesterday and 2 today on AMZ. Had a 10% off coupon in my account which worked for 5 items but wouldn’t apply to 6 (hence the 2). Had a GC issue on the first order and the CS rep added another $15 in courtesy credit - so got 3 @ $31 each and 2 @ $36 to add to my collection of Meijer Santa Bucks ones.

Hey folks. Just a quick reminder this is a Lego toy site that Ed and Jeff created. Granted this thread is about a TV show and usually does comment about the actors star in it.

This topic seems to be getting off track today. We (the mods) really don’t feel like locking it on a Friday night just to clean it up.

 

personally, I bought a bunch of AT-ST sets recently since Lego might not be making more sets with Cara Dune unless a season 2 is too late in the process to change.  Should be a decent flip.

Confirmed. But third time was not a charm. They must have reset the limit tracker.

Yeah, same here. I’ve also bought twice already and the third attempt wouldn’t go through. I’m not sure how they enforce limits anymore to be honest.

Amazon business has about 53 left. One can order that many at one time, fyi

I can never get more than 3.  I've seen some comment about Amazon Business having different limits at times, but I never get to join in the party.  Unless I'm doing something wrong...

It shows 40 in stock now, but the price is back up to MSRP at Amazon business.

I was only allowed to buy 2 more. So 5 in a 3 day span.

75254 was already going to be a winner.  getting htf in the wild here too - i'm heading out to swipe some easy tax free minty ones put out nearby walmart to dollar average up from the $18 clearance buyin on my current meager stash.

and now its being reported on the MARCH 2021 EOL list.  bust out diamond hands.  pretty amazing how local stock at target is being consumed at msrp - i had 5 stores to hit on my radar but now its down to 2 and they have a handful left not worth it.  barnes and noble has 1 or 2 at most stores.
