aoxoa Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Picked up Rancor Pit and Han at local brick and mortar and ordered another pit (w/o figs) on bricklink. Battle of Hoth wasn't available in store so I placed a phone order for it and the sales rep rustled up an "out of stock" Yavin to qualify me for my second Han. Quote
Laservampire Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Got the 7965 Falcon from Amazon. $165 shipped sure beats the $250 retail price we have in Australia, and that's if you can even find one! Quote
Ritz Brick Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Just got the dropship from 10195. At first I didn't like it, but then i was sad that i missed it. So i ordered it piece by piece on bricklink and it was only a 111,... € in total. I had the same feelings you had. But I picked it up last second and haven't regretted it since. Quote
Cyberbricker Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 I had the same feelings you had. But I picked it up last second and haven't regretted it since. No regrets here either. However, I'm clad that I didn't go for the AT-OT. Quote
werpudel Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 there were really no great discounts in Austria/Germany for May the 4th... so I just ordered the rancor pit to get the han solo exclusive. brings tears to my eyes when I read that the b-wing was discounted by 50 % elsewhere... Quote
Ki-Adi-Mundi Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Used the 4th - which actually starts the 3rd in GER - to get another 75014 Battle of Hoth (my 2nd) and 9678 Twin Pod Cloud Car & Bespin to get my 1st Hoth Han promo and poster. My order arrived on the 5th already. It even contained a package of one DUPLO brick, cat and a magazine which became a present to a relative. After all, i got everything i ordered and thus can't complain. The discounts were pretty lame but TLG gave me my VIP points back. That's a fine move on their part and makes up for the lack of interesting offers. Quote
BrickieB Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Got my UCS X-wing today, can't wait to build it! Also included Han and the Yoda poster. Quote
Chills Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Like many others I got the UCS B-Wing on 5/4 along with Han in his brown coat (which really was brown in the movies, just hard to tell with the lighting in Norway). As a kid I thought the B-Wing was awesome and when the UCS one came out I was pretty excited, but didn't want to pay $199 for it. LEGO read my mind and put that bad boy on sale; it's backordered so I won't get it until the middle of the month, but I have house projects to keep me busy until then. Quote
santos. Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 First time ordering from lego.com, just received my 10240/Han minifig/poster, and to my surprise TLG threw in Legends of Chima 70113 along with a note stating it's to thank me for my purchase. Not my style set, but still pretty impressed! Anyone else get one? Anyway, excited to build this beast for display next to 10212! Quote
bricklayer7 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Picked up battle for hoth and the clone bp for a 2nd may 4th offer Quote
Scott Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 UCS B wing on May 4 and yesterday ordered the Death Star from amazon for $370 shipped. It's a Christmas present for my boys, going to be a long 7 months. Didn't think I would find it cheaper later even if it's discontinued. Scott Quote
Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Ordered the B-Wing during the May the 4th promo. Quote

werpudel Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 surprise, surprise - finally the planet-sets are available in austria. got the whole series-3-range discounted to 9,90 € each! Quote
Churchill Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I got the Chima sets with both of my orders too- but no note of explanation. I emailed customer service, and they explained that it's promotional to get you interested. I'm not really a Chima fan, but this was nice little bonus from Lego. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I received a Chima set too. I assumed they were sending them out to get people interested. Not everyone is commenting that they received one, so maybe they didn't send them out to everyone?? I would have thought they would. But then again, not everyone received the VIP keychain either. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 It seems as though they're being sent to all U.S. orders. Two of my friends just got their packages, and the Chima starter sets were in there. Quote
howie28 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Will they be sent to other countries? I'm in Australia, and I ordered an X-wing on the 4th. Should come next week. Quote
Darth Dino Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Hi got a "steal" today: My local "Real" supermarket had today 20% discount on all Lego, including SW - and even for dicounted sets! Got 9500 Darth Malgus' ship for 44.00€ minus 20% and 7961 Darth Mauls ship for 59.00€ minus 20% 82.40€ both together... ;) Dino Quote
Dragonfire Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I just bought the AT-RT and the Headhunter for a discount at John Lewis' Quote
henning1010 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Went to my local LEGO shop in Cologne and bought 75017 Duel on Geonosis. It looks fantastic: new Yoda, non-CW Dooku and Poogle ... Quote
TheLegoDr Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 How is the set? I mostly just want that for the figures, but the set has some useful pieces in it for MOCs. Quote
Chills Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I think this is the set I'm most excited about. Can't wait to have a non-CW Yoda and Dooku. Quote
