I can't post pics from my phone for some reason but a new pic has popped up of a Darth Revan minifigure polybag. I think it looks really nice. Maybe someone can grab the pic from BrickSet.

But no mention about specific set discounts....

Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

My money is still on big discount on Malevolence.  $100+ MSRP but NON UCS.  That way they do not break their no discount on UCS promise.

 

Question is, how much of a discount will make you want to buy that blue shelf warmer ?

The US is getting ******!

Cat is out of the bag - Lego sent emails to VIPs with link to promo preview

cat is still in. minifigs and posters don't count. ;-)

i posted that on page 12 of this thread. fyi.

Disapointing email

 

 

This is pretty typical of a preview, then they drop the stink bomb on you.

Where is the BEEF!!

Actually I have a feeling that our sales will be quite spectacular.  The number of day we get is 2.  Everyone else seems to start on the 28th.  I bet we will have sales that will be cleared out in under 30 minutes to an hour at best.  Watching what happened during double vip for the big sets was amazing.  They went fast and that was without actual discounts.  We may even see discounts through other retailers.  I stand in anticipation.  Hopefully my CC won't freak out in the midst of the bonanza.

I have one of said shelf warmers and thats enough. (unless Target does a 65% off sale)

rather have republic gunship.

I guess non-US sales must really be weak in comparison to the US in order for them to get an extra week.  It is what it is.  The US customers will have to wait a week.  I don't think the early non-US sale will have any effect on US sales because the inventory is already in the UK and US.

I think I can feel the credit cards in my wallet starting to shiver.

I gotta agree with you on this one. There must be something "extra" they are not telling us about yet.

Sandcrawler is slated to be released on the 3rd. Wonder if something will pair with it and be released on the 4th?

You could be right, I also think that Lego believe there is a bigger reseller problem for them in the US. We don't get the same kind of buying restrictions in the UK. I've also never heard of any bans this side of the pond. Maybe a two day promotion is aimed at preventing resellers from caning all their stock.

I agree about reselling being a much bigger issue in the US.  Many times non-US countries suffer from poor discounts and specials when comparing them to the US, so enjoy this early bird sale.  Good luck on the 28th.  Remember to clicks on our affiliate links for LEGO S@H.

Ahh you must have not been part of last year extravaganza.  Open up the May 4 2013 thread and witness all of the hilarity.

I wonder how much this will affect the price for Darth Revan as the rest of the world will be getting it before US

I think there will be at least one fantastic deal for the US.....and it will go quick.

Anyone know the likelihood of amazon matching the sale prices?

Haven't been paying attention lately, is the Darth Revan available on the 28th or May 4th?

In USA, May 3rd to May 5th, while (or if ??) supplies last

That is one possbility. The other is that MM was sold out fast in the US relatively fast and was available in Europe until the end of March. Maybe they just adjust the length of the sales period to the number of promo items they want to give away, while accounting in the available US stocks of discounted items and the craze US customers will react with (usually more intense than EU). Bigger sales are not a necessity.
