And 28 Space Slugs on eBay

Not sure what I'll do with mine yet. Would be nice to sell it to subsidize the Hoth set but it's also fun to have limited edition sets

The Space Slug set will eventually be worth more than the ASSault on Hoth set.

The SS set will also display better.

I see one Space Slug listed on eBay for $300 OBO BIN.  I was kind of tempted to list mine as a $1 auction, ending on Saturday... but too chicken.

@Deanfjr is it yours? Similar avatar...

@Kenxxx why chicken? Got an invitation so you're good.

I'm chicken that mine will auction for $18, .... and then a dozen more will be sold the next day for $79 BIN!

See....it's already worth more than the Ultimate Chump Series ASSault on Hoth. LOL

You haven't even seen the set yet  what if it turns out to be good - you might regret selling it sight unseen

Yes, that's mine. I have an offer for 100 already seems fair. I see someone else listed The Slug & Stormtrooper for 300 + 13.45 shipping

I listed all three of the May the 4th promo items (slug set, figure & poster) this morning for 325 after seeing that other guys slug + trooper for 313.45. I just sold with immediate payment. so that perhaps will set the tone for the market. Start listing them boys.

That was probably @Ed Mack, couldn't be bothered to get up early to go to the store, so he gets you to do his dirty work

'Bob Dole, Bob Dole'...SNL reference for you old guys. 3rd person magic!

what is everyone planning to buy to hit the $150 necessary for the Space Slug set?  I was aiming for the new Hoth set just to get that out of the way, but now I am reconsidering based on the chance that it drops in price some time in the next year.  

Slave 1 and Tie Fighter are obvious choices. Don't think the MF will work unless you add something to it b/c it's $149.99. A couple Poe's X Wings or an X wing and a Death Star Final Duel and something small. I am still not sure yet. I have a couple slaves but that ship is just so nasty I would snag another either that or an EV. I figure if I can get $300 for the giveaways, that would cover the set and then some...but so far there's only one stunner doing that... @Deanfjr

Some sets are supposed to be on sale too.  Flash Speeder and Droid Transport, 20% off will probably be it.

That flash speeder just doesn't do it for me...but for 20% off + double points I could see making a spot for it...same w/that droid transporter, you mean 75086? Those could be good smaller sets to snag another mid range set too..vs. 1 big purchase.

Yep, that's the one.

Droids ... you can never have enough droids.

Kinda making that "something smells" face...That set...just like the flash speeder...just doesn't do that much for me...we'll just have to see what's what on Saturday.

Well, I was just being facetious, but something is supposed to be on sale.  Maybe magnets?

Ahh, the ole sarcasm detector must not be functioning at work...which seems like something I should be doing now (being that I am at work) Back to speculating. 

I would buy the Flash Speeder and Droid Transport for 20% off with the FO Stormtrooper offer.  Maybe it's because TPM was the first Star Wars movie to get LEGO sets, but I always seem to have a soft spot for them.
