The Batwing just shipped from the 12/21 order.

My (2) Batwings finally shipped this morning.....At $159.99 each

1 Batwing shipped. They adjusted the price down to $159 even after giving me $40 in VIP points. The other batwing was canceled but they shipped the Fun VIP PolyBag for free. 

LOL, I must have got the wrong Lego chat agent.  Since my $159.99 batwing was cancelled, I decided to reach out about my $199.99 batwing purchase on Dec. 4th to see if I could get the price adjusted.  They declined, but offered $25 in VIP points.  My PolyBag on the cancelled order shipped too.  Still a win though!  

1st account they gave me $20 vip points (better than nothing), 2nd account they adjusted to $159.99 and gave a $40 gift card too. YMMV big time. It's all gravy baby......

Any thoughts on The Armorer's Mandalorian Forge (75319) at 30% discount? I am just scared those figures get rereleased in Mandalorian season 3.

 I quite like the set (I also liked AT-ST Raider and WW SDCC set) and/but any set or minifig can be re-issued at anytime.  Any picks' rise to the moon is part luck. 

Not sure where to put this fellas, but what’s the consensus on security tags on sets? I tried To remove one and the adhesive stayed on the box. What do customers think of this? Just leave them?

Anymore, I just leave them. Not worth the hassle.

Like B&N?  They come off like any other stickers -- blow dryer & plastic sticker peeler.  But I agree, you can just leave them.

Hot air and Goo Gone works wonders.  Publix can be the worse.

No complaints here. If they are not labeled by the retailer, I just leave them.

Kroger in this case. Security device comes off fine but ends up leaving adhesive. 

I said Publix above.  I meant Kroger.  Theirs's are the worse!  I hate the way that they come off the box, like a piece of spaghetti.

cheap little heat gun will a Scotty peeler will do the trick. Use a rag to wipe off excess adhesive with a little more heat after you’re done taking the label off.

Thanks. The security device comes off easily but leaves some sticky behind. Ill keep Heat on it and see if it wipes off.

Goo Gone takes off the sticky residue very easily. Literally within a few seconds of lightly wiping and it's gone.

Goo Gone doesn’t ruin the box?

I've used it for years.  It does not.  Just wipe it up well, wait 10 minutes and wipe again to get any greasy look from where you used it.

I got my Batwing already on Friday (UPS is really crushing it for Lego) 27R2 Seal codes, so mid-year production and maybe they held back a bit of stock in case of issues.

Still have one Batwing at $159.99 that still shows backorder, here's to hoping that it actually ships....

Same here.  One Batwing on BO.

Placed a SAH order yesterday after the restock of sales sets. Order was "in process" for hours (until I went to bed). This morning, it went backwards to "just placed" and in my account ALL old orders see to be in that status. Anyone else have the same issue?

Ha, yes, same thing. I guess they are testing a new enhancement.
