comicblast Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 This set hasn't been on sale from Amazon for a little while: http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Star-Super-Destroyer-10221/dp/B0050R0YB8/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1359156018&sr=1-1&keywords=lego+star+wars+superstar+destroyer+10221 I think it is a good idea to get one now....

cflannagan Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Anyone have a theory on when this set is about to EOL? I know it's impossible, but when did it come out in 2011? Early or late 2011? I want to pull the trigger only if the general consensus is that we won't see better price than this before it goes EOL.. I can see it was $309 during recent holiday season (drats, I missed that one) Quote
cflannagan Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 i'll wait, 5% off isn't much For me it's more like 7.8% off (I have 3% Amazon rewards card). I am thinking of waiting too, but they better not EOL on me! Quote
legopocalypse Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 yeah that's true, I have the amazon credit card as well so that is about 8% off. I do still need one and I have some amazon gift cards to use but I just wish it was 10% off like the death star is. Quote
eracine Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Do you think the ssd will be a winner in a year or two? Quote
jaisonline Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Do you think the ssd will be a winner in a year or two? Yes. I would gamble on getting it at a reduced price. Many of us paid $309 to $329 at amazon within the last few months. Quote
jmpkcp Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 At that price, no way. Buy one at $320-340 and then it is probably worth the investnent. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I agree. Even the current price on Amazon (379.99) is a bit high. I am still waiting for this one to at least go down to 349 or something like that so I can get one to keep and one to invest as well!. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Since it has the potential to be a 800-1,000 dollar set one day I don't think 60 bucks is gonna make a difference. If the choice was 399.00 or not having it, I think it would be silly not to buy it. Quote

If the choice was 399.00 or not having it, I think it would be silly not to buy it. True. I guess I am just hoping it to be around a little longer. Anyway I will probably be getting one soon at least to build it. Unfortunately right now I don't have the funds to get 2. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Just saw an Used one sold on ebay for $360+25 Shipping. Crazy. Quote
jaisonline Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I own one. Funny thing though, Of all my Lego sets, this is prob the one with the biggest potential (future highest price , not %). On the other hand, this is also my least favorite set. Amazon sent me a heavily damaged box last month, so I opened it before returning it. I just found it boring and very, very gray, The build is very repetitive. The minifigs are boring and the Emperor's hologram is on a very small cylinder element. No idea why Boba Fett, Zuckess, and 4LOM weren't included. Then again, the current crop of minifigs can't even fit in this SSD so TLG prob didn't see a reason to include more. I would seriously wait for a discount if you are buying this to open and build it. ...or buy it used. I guess it's all about the size... Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 That's the reason I am waiting for a really good discount or a used one. But the prices some people are paying for used ones on ebay are just too much. Quote
IrishGuy66 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 If I had that kind of money to buy Legos I'd would just do what everybody else is saying, and try to find it for around $300 some where. But like ASU said once this set hits EOL the prices on these are going to skyrocket. Quote

Ed Mack Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I love the SSD, but I think it will be discounted down to the low 300s before it goes EOL. Here is a picture of one that my friend Kevin built with his two sons. Check out the lights... Quote
StarPod Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 if youre getting it for 400 no shipping and no tax then i would say yes. technically you would be saving around 60$ Quote
