First image of the interior - definite similarities with 75052 but I'm quite impressed!

Happy to see that the Dewback isn't identical

Looks to be the same from 75052

Outside of a few color swaps on the saddle... it looks to be the exact same build

Cantina OOS at SAH... I'm surprised. I wonder if this would have happened without the Yoda GWP.

The eyes are definitely different (and some details on the other printing) - that alone will allow for maintaining value/interest.

You are correct. My wife is always reminding me to look at her eyes so it's no surprise I missed it

and it is out-of-stock despite getting a VIP club note about early ordering

This set is very nicely made, and I really like all the minifigures associated with it.  Definitely picking up this one up.

Really?
Define exact?
Do you mean just the mold? Yes.
I prefer 75052
75290 seems more... cartoonish. Hi

I agree, same mold, but I feel like the eyes are just too orange in the new one.

now says TOOS instead of available 10/1. Think there is a delay in sets now? Has anyone spotted anymore at their local LEGO store?

I'm not seeing "check store stock" option either.  That is weird.

thought there would be additional stock this AM. But still TOOS: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mos-eisley-cantina-75290

Did it actually sell out that fast due to that gifted light saber set special?

It's still out of stock.  What is going on?

stores will have some on tomorrows trucks if you have one near you.

I reached out to LEGO about 2 weeks ago and they said "oh definitely it'll be back on shop at home next week, just check then." I think they've been bugged about that set a lot. The lightsaber GWP was part of it but it continued to sell the rest of the day without that. I decided to flip mine for quite the decent price. I was not expecting it to stay out of stock this long.

I wish I had a store closer...

I was tempted to sell locally for $500 (include saber)...got FB marketplace offers...I opted to just hold on to it...if the scarcity holds into December easily $550 to $600

I sold both of mine for $500 with saber. I didn't want to be stuck with those so early in its life. I can buy it later for myself.

yes it's a gamble to hold on...last time I got bites on FBM (for Hogwarts and Cinderella Castle) it led to run ups on the sets of additional $100 weeks later...gamble nevertheless

I debated about holding but ended up selling mine on ebay for $490 by itself + shipping.

And I still have the light saber.

Exactly what I did. $500 sold, they paid shipping. Yoda lightsaber in reserve. Seems I'm in good company. 

People paying over RRP for it on UK eBay even though it's in stock at SaH.

 

Bizarre.

I just sold mine for $499 on BL yesterday. They paid for shipping so less fees but yeah, it seems like this is good for some extra cash.

Stores are getting new stock. I called the one closest to me and they said they got 14. He doesn't expect them to last the weekend. Hoping this means a shop at home restock is in the works as well. Does anyone know how that works, when stores get stock does that mean SAH gets it as well? The rep was kind enough to offer a hold, said that four were already held back. Unfortunately I don't live close enough to make the trip just for that. I would have done it if some of the promos were left over, but he said those were all gone too.
