August 25, 201113 yr An Amazon seller called "Rae-N-Ray's Toy Box" has Death Star 10188's for $320. Is this too good to be true?
August 25, 201113 yr Just checked LEGO shop@home, and the SSD is showing as available in the UK and USA ! Enjoy ! Dr. D.
August 25, 201113 yr I'm really on the fence about this one. I just can't make up my mind. Now, the new Millenium Falcon is another story. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper.
August 25, 201113 yr Any idea where an Australian can get one of these for anything less than double the price of everybody else?
August 26, 201113 yr Great news to those who're planning on getting this one! I'll let this topic open for some time before merging this with the existing SW Sets Availanility thread later.
August 26, 201113 yr Cool that it's available! But I have no need to rush out and get it. It'll be available for a few years, that's plenty of time to wait it out for a sale.
August 26, 201113 yr looks like most people are waiting it out for a sale to come... or will it get snap up quickly? i am not sure what to do because i am sure it will be sold as a premium price when it landed where i am, but hefty shipping cost is preventing me to buy it too
August 26, 201113 yr I just checked S@H for Oz......699....ouch 700 bucks, oh man, I heard a story only days ago that this was going to be 699. But the rest of the story I'm having trouble with believing because it's third hand and sounds too far fetched.....that in a few months it will be available at Kmart in Australia as a store exclusive......I don't believe it at all. Has any other Aussie heard similar stories. Quick edit - Kmart have just comfirmed that they ARE NOT going to be selling this set this year, handy what a phone call does eh ?

August 26, 201113 yr I, at first didn't want this set. Now it's growing on me. But, I just bought all the other SW sets. My wife is already ready to cut my card up. lol.
August 26, 201113 yr Well i'm still not buying it, poor design and overpriced, probably cheaper to bricklink the parts and in better colours too!
August 26, 201113 yr Well i'm still not buying it, poor design and overpriced, probably cheaper to bricklink the parts and in better colours too! Yes. And I would not be suprised if it is on sale in few next months, like 10215 last year.
August 26, 201113 yr Well i'm still not buying it, poor design and overpriced, probably cheaper to bricklink the parts and in better colours too! LOL ! You old misery, Pete ! For us mere mortals without the time, inclination (and skill ?) to MOC like you can this is a neat model. Although I certainly agree that it's overpriced.... Dr. D.
August 26, 201113 yr Hi what do you guess for how long will the SSD available from Lego? E.G. how long was that 10179 available for recomended list prices? I am not sure to purchase the SSD after reading the forum. For that price i could get two actual MF and a ton of grey bricks from BL for aditional 100€... As i wrote before i am also thinking about the SSD because of the parts - i am not planning to buy and to display it for the rest of my life... But i think the SSD will contains a lot of parts that gives me the availbility to do something new (spaceships) without running out of parts so fast. Dino
August 26, 201113 yr I'm in a Australia too and 700 is a no go for me. Nor am I an epic MOCer. I've already started planning my brick linking plus i'm surprised at how many parts i've already got.
August 29, 201113 yr Hey guys...Just joined !!! I picked this bad boy up at my local lego store and received a 20.00 off credit for joining the VIP card....So I basically got it fro 379.99..... It really is an amazing set !! It got me back into collecting lego... I also picked up the ARC-170...These are the first two sets Ive had in a loooong time !!! Here are some shots of the SSD.... http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD001.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD003.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD004.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD005.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD010.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD014.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD016.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD021.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/gwind73/LegoSSD020.jpg I really am blown away by the size and complexity of this thing !!! Next on my list is the Death Star II if I can afford it...and maybe the UCS Jedi Fighter.
August 29, 201113 yr Yes. And I would not be suprised if it is on sale in few next months, like 10215 last year. I think so too, I'm just hoping the sale will match that of the Delta 7 (30% off).
August 29, 201113 yr ...I, too, am holding in buying this set... not that I have the funds right now but I'm sure TLC will have some 'incentives' down the road to boost the sale of this set for the rest of us... not to mention, Black Friday discount cards at the Lego stores...
August 29, 201113 yr I'm in a Australia too and 700 is a no go for me. Nor am I an epic MOCer. I've already started planning my brick linking plus i'm surprised at how many parts i've already got. Yeah $699 is a highway robbery. I'm going to try and get it in th US and get a friend to ship it to me if I can organise it.
August 30, 201113 yr If anyone has this and already built this, can you post some pictures doing some size comparisons to other sets? It's hard for me to imagine its size lol I've seen a few pics from gimmelego that really helped though.

August 31, 201113 yr Walked into my local Lego Store and saw the Super Star Destroyer on the shelf, along with the SW Advent calender. It is HUGE!!! The SSD box. Edited August 31, 201113 yr by Solscud007
