July 23, 201212 yr Summer sets are now available on Shop @ Home, along with the exclusives! http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Star-Wars-ByTheme Thanks for the heads up, I'll try to get 9526 now.
July 23, 201212 yr At last... and the shop at home website also ships items to CANADA as well... at last!!! http://shop.lego.com...questid=2670671 I spoke with a dude at the Toronto Lego shop this morning. He tells me the original release date for this wave was August (at least for Canada?) but that they decided to sell them earlier, and the 23rd was the official website release. For that particular Lego location (Sherway Gardens) they aren't on shelves yet but he said likely tomorrow. He also said that some shops in the area got theirs early and were allowed to put them out last week... let the Canadian sightings begin. I'd jump at the chance to order those kits online, but I'm wary of being dinged by customs fees on arrival. Has anyone been dinged on this board from those shipments, north of the border? Or does that site include sales tax?
July 23, 201212 yr My TRU in Nanuet has everything except Gungan Sub. I picked up the Sand Skiff. Nanuet!!!! I am living in Suffern. Excited to see that they got them in but will prob buy from the palisades lego shop. Edited July 23, 201212 yr by jmagaletta
July 24, 201212 yr Nanuet!!!! I am living in Suffern. Excited to see that they got them in but will prob buy from the palisades lego shop. Im a sucker for Boba Fett so I couldn't wait. Im waiting for black friday or a BOGO50% off at TRU before I get Jabba's Palace. I'm hoping TRU gets the Haunted House then I will get both, hopefulyl BOGO 50% off.
July 25, 201212 yr Barnes and Noble has 30% off on some 2011 sets. Of note are the Republic Frigate and Sith Infiltrator. Also they have the 2012 sets at discounted prices 10% off. For instance the Sith Fury Class is marked as 82.75. Edited July 25, 201212 yr by jmagaletta
July 28, 201212 yr Anyone notice the Jar Jar Binks key chain is going for $.98 on S@H? I don't really care for him, but anyone who wants to expand their Gungun army...
July 28, 201212 yr Some great LSW offers on Amazon UK including 7965 Millennium Falcon at only £85.39 and 7962 Anakin's & Sebulbas Podarcer's at £47.25. Be sure to check the full list here.
August 1, 201212 yr I have a MISB 10188 that I am/was going to wait to open and build because I want to see how much the price will jump to once it hits EOL.......but man is this thing ever going to get discontinued??? It sells well still I guess but how good can it really sell at its ridiculous retail price?? I'm in the same boat with the UCS imperial shuttle. Any thoughts???
August 1, 201212 yr This discussion would be better suited for the Star Wars forum, therefore I will be moving it shortly.
August 1, 201212 yr 9526 Palps arrest is now available to buy on the UK lego website. :D Edited August 1, 201212 yr by Jigsaw Killer

August 1, 201212 yr my apologies, I am new to this whole forum thing, thank you for your patience! No harm done!
August 1, 201212 yr I have a MISB 10188 that I am/was going to wait to open and build because I want to see how much the price will jump to once it hits EOL.......but man is this thing ever going to get discontinued??? It sells well still I guess but how good can it really sell at its ridiculous retail price?? I'm in the same boat with the UCS imperial shuttle. Any thoughts??? I asked the same question about 18 months ago and 10188 is still going strong! Only Lego can really determine when a set will reach EOL, we can only guess and my guess would be that the Death Star will be available for a lot longer than the Imperial Shuttle.
August 1, 201212 yr Lego S@H (UK) has Palpatine's Arrest 9526 available for £59.99, it almost seems quite reasonable for 645 parts! (link here)
August 2, 201212 yr It will come to an end on Dec 21, 2012. That won't do you any good though, since everything else will end then too. You might as well open it and enjoy it now while you can. If you want an investment, try gold silver or stocks.
August 2, 201212 yr Even when the Death Star gets discontinued, it's had a long enough run that those who want it have probably got it already. Most things that become valuable when they run out are usually hard to get or are of a limited run. Here the Death Star has been going for a good number of years and is readily accessible on Lego's site and in Lego's stores. Sure, when it goes, you'll probably find alot of them on auction sites for twice retail, but those will hardly (or never) move. The same is true without alot of Lego stuff I see that is supposed to be "valuable" but is really just based on an inflated sense of mark-up.
August 2, 201212 yr As this is discussion of the availability of a set, it belongs in "Star Wars Sets Anyone?". Merging... ...and done.
August 3, 201212 yr It will come to an end on Dec 21, 2012. That won't do you any good though, since everything else will end then too. You might as well open it and enjoy it now while you can. If you want an investment, try gold silver or stocks. While at Target last week, nothing. Yesterday, everything but the Old Republic set. Best of all, NO mark up! I may have to start doing my LSW shopping over at Target. Oh, and that's Northern California Targets.
August 3, 201212 yr TRU Germany offers 20% off for LEGO sets (all lines). Sale wears off on August, 8th.
August 9, 201212 yr Even when the Death Star gets discontinued, it's had a long enough run that those who want it have probably got it already. Well... I must respectfully disagree. It's an expensive set, and speaking for myself I've wanted it ever since it was announced, yet I've never been able to afford it. I'm sure I'm not the only such person on the planet. I'm aware it's been around for over two years now, and probably won't be around all that much longer, so I very much intend to try to snag one in the not-too-distant future, but it's going to be tough, and I just don't know whether I'll manage it or not. I'd bet there's any number of other people in the same boat.
August 10, 201212 yr I was looking on Ebay tonight and discovered 2 separate listings for set 10212 that said this said was discontinued. I have not seen any proof that this is true. Ebayers just trying to scam maybe??? Edited August 10, 201212 yr by stephen_rockefeller
