I live near Legoland California, and they've had these out for two weeks already.  I was able to flip a few on eBay before everyone started listing.

How much are these retail?  Does it look like they are flying off the shelves at Legoland?  I don't want to wait too long to buy but I also would like to get at a discount if possible.  Don't know if that will be possible since it's got that sweet Darth Vader Santa.

$39.99 MSRP for the SW calendar, $29.99 for the other two (Friends, City).

 

It's possible that there will be a discount.  It's also possible that these will sell out quickly.  They weren't flying off the shelves at LL - they still had plenty between the initial placement and when I was back there this weekend (about a week between visits).

 

In the past, the Lego flooded the market with advent calendars, and they were easily had at discounts up to 50% off.  Last year especially, they underproduced, and disappeared from shelves quickly.  Friends calendars were nearly impossible to find after mid-November.

 

If you want one for yourself, just get it.  I wanted both SW and Friends, so I grabbed them now.

Good advice.  Thanks.

 

By the way, I was down in your neck of the woods last week.  I was in La Jolla for a mini vay cay.  It's so nice down there.  I love taking trips down there.

Ah. I think it'd be easier for me to get on a plane and fly to a Lego factory then drive from Cobb to Sugarloaf.

Lol, you are probably right.  I don't make it to that one as much as it is on the far side of the range.  I'm in the middle of the other 2 right off 400.  That one is close to my warehouse though so I still go by.  It is the biggest also and gets a lot of the box damage from LEGO Shop at Home.  It was the first one in the area.  Had a smaller spot in that mall then opened the bigger one about 2 years ago.

 

Only in Atlanta can a 5 min drive turn into and hour with a few good accidents.  Or half a day with some snow and ice!
