Sales are so low in Australia that the 2nd round of sets for this years lego star wars haven't been stocked up yet for sale. There are literally 0 sets from what Americans describe as "summer sets". Nobody is buying. There are pathetic attempts to put them on "sale". I saw one at Big W saying "We will match ANY toys price if you see it cheaper elsewhere." or "Buy 1, get 25% off the 2nd."
The reason sales are low? There are a lower number of sets from eps 1-6. Most, not all, star wars fans are 18+ and have a love for the movies (and have a source of income), buy the sets from eps 1-6 that ARENT remakes and wait for the next wave (like myself). the younger fans are not rich, and probably get max 2 sets a year (birthday and Christmas) from parents that probably aren't fans of star wars and will buy a random set.
Conclusion: There are no sole selective purchases for Star Wars sets other than those from eps 1-6. There was some for Clone wars, but barely anyone cares for "rebels".
If you read this and disagree, it's most likely you are a hardcore lego star wars fan, which is not the majority of buyers. I got my fair share of lego star wars ($5000 worth over time), and am running out of space. I will not buy this set as its not worth the tiny space I have left.
Good set and build maybe, but not impressed. Specials and sales wont help either. Get on with the next wave Australia.
