10188 - UCS: Death Star

[eyebrow40]

Hey, anybody see a new 10188 box?

I know i could also post this in the what i heard… thread, but it also fits in here. I called the lego customer service a few times in the past weeks… (including today)...

they told me it's on its last run…. like the 1000 times in the past years

Anybody seen any kind of box for this one recently?

[joch29]

The fact that there is a new "Death Star" in the new movie makes a remake of the old one seem very unlikely. 

until Rogue one... 

amazon now has 180+ resellers for 10188.  yikes.

I'll let you know after I check the minty fresh ones I received from Target yesterday (still in carton).

[jgschmieg3]

This set is not for everyone.  Many people have sold theirs 2-3 years ago and made money with those dollars.  At this point, I'm figuring it has a very limited shelf life and it did exhibit strong growth when it "sold out" months ago, so that is a great indicator of possible strong returns in the future.  

If Emazer's is buying, I'm buying.  Mic drop. Walk away.

What if they have hidden things extremely well and the new set in December is actually the new Death Star ?

That might mix things up a bit

When i saw the new movie poster i thought it has to be a deathstar or similar. And indeed they said there will be a starkiller base built on an icy planet. Could the rumored hoth base UCS be the starkiller base?

I just called LEGO Shop at Home trying to order one by phone, it was not possible but she said they are making lots of new ones and they will be orderble in November. Same for pet shop and Jurassic World.

Decide for yourself what's true or not.

Dunno why... but I expect a sale at Lego SaH maybe on boxing day. Prime candidate being SOH.

38R5 just delivered via Target. Same old box. Came in LEGO carton which is dated '150918'. Very recent.

Next stop: The zoo... where we will encourage monkeys to fling their poo everywhere!

Thats right stick with the Death Star and you can't go wrong, if you have enough of them you will be living on wall street in a few years. Get them while you can, and forget about this talk about a new box.

If wall street doesn't work out for you, you can always go the "small house movement" route ....

Hope you got a good discount for the flattened boxes. Assmazon again???

I guess it is somewhat safe to say that the person on Bricklink who spoke of the new box in the Montreal LEGO store was full of crap.

Now what we need to know is if  the "we are making more" gentlemen are also full of crap!

[Ciglione]

I think it is like VW. Someone sneaked a software update in.

Guys, got an urgent information - 

Last night the price for set was increased in my home country from $483 to $564. Shame on me, who put the set in a basket, but did not purchase it.

I messaged the support of the store (the official one), who replied the following (translation): "True, the price has been changed. Moreover, the production will be shutdown this year and the set will not be supplied anymore".

I guess it is hoarding time!

So which country are you at? I think this message won't apply in the US

Russia. I doubt that we have a DS production here, so the message is likely to be applied to all markets.
