Saying that I don't live at the shops. Our eBay has them selling at $200 approx and fairly often. LEGO Shop at Home price was $140 so sets bought at reasonable discount are almost 2x already. hahaha, that's what you get for living at the edge of the world. The advantage is that prices and the market here in general are doing a lot better than in the States and EU. Downside is that even with cheap prices in the US, shipping to Australia is (usually) too expensive. We'll see what happens once Amazon open shop downundah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw IST in BigW when they were first released then after that lot dried up I never saw them again at retail. If my memory serves me right it was the same story with the T-16 Skyhopper set that was released around the same time. I managed to get one IST from LEGO Shop at Home when they had a 10% off sale on some SW sets earlier this year.

I know I could have bought it at that price and I regret not grabbing it when I saw it, I picked up the box and decided I'd get it later in the year, big mistake that was but 10% off was good enough for me.

Furious_george Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 10% better than no %. Only ever scored 2 at 20%. Just sold out too quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomandybri Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Happily sitting on my 5 that were 20% off, waiting. I never saw these at retail myself, except for their initial release period. Had eyes like a hawk for them since June and have seen nada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Really sucks living down under. Recent 3 for 2 deals we were getting as much as 50% off. Although even with that discount remains to be seen what you will make when these eventually disappears given that it's probably super hoarded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one will not do as well as 75055 or 75054 but should still sell reasonably well and the lower price point will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was home I would have busted one of these out to build with the kiddos. It's such an iconic ship that you see throughout the movie (landing / leaving Endor, escaping the DS). That being said, my expectations are low for this set. Widely available at 50%+ clearance in the US and still lingering at retailers below msrp. I guess we can only hope for no shuttle remake in the next 2-3 years if this does in fact retire in Q4. It's definitely retired in the Netherlands.

BarryZola Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I think this will do pretty well. It probably won't go mega high, but I think with at least a decent discount we'll be absolutely fine and make a good profit after a while. I wouldn't be too sure about it being too hoarded in great quantities either (I could be wrong). I can't see a lot wrong with this set, plus the box is a decent size for posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 @beni Stock-returns become available for being sold again. So LEGO Shop at Home temporarily re-opens the buying window, enabling quick deciders to grab the returns. Until they're all gone and then the order option is removed again. Standard procedure for LEGO Shop at Home and nothing to be concerned about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx, and I'm very keen to get some, but which of these places ship to Australia? Often even if they do shipping cost negates any discount. But if you can find a retailer that does, I'd be super grateful for such info. (Pm pls) Edited December 20, 2016 by ED-209 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Lowest (I think ) is 87 euro which is $125 au. No one going to ship it all the way here cheap so not worth it. But the discount talk and availability reads exactly the same as the atat and ISD threads, sets which are now killing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED-209 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) The ones I bought from UK two weeks ago were 64£ and 13£ shipping. One thing that bugs me about this set is that it at least needs Luke. Droids were also on the the ship but y no Luke?

If they had put it in here, some folks would have lamented the loss of it being an exclusive figure. Lego can't win. **EDIT*** Actually i retract this statement. You're really saying why didn't they have a luke in Endor Poncho. In looking at the Endor Luke from the ewok village, it does not have that, it just has the 'flap down' black suit. While it IS an exclusive (which is kinda cool), it's also not the endor poncho most think about when they think Endor Luke. I have no good idea why they missed the opportunity to do that figure. I totally agree with you. Edited December 20, 2016 by mudcatsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remember that from last year. I also remember how I couldn't imagine how these sets, so widely discounted, would ever be sold well above RRP. I was still a rookie then. But on the other hand, the AT-AT and ISD both benefit from no alternative LEGO set being available right now, and an increased interest because of the Rogue One movie. The IST on the other hand faces competition from both Krennic's Shuttle from Rogue One, and Kylo Ren's Shuttle from The Force Awakens.

Val-E Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 IST was the only big OT set out, last time people had to split between ISD and AT AT and both are more iconic. This one will struggle to do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 This one is definitely looking 'ISD and AT-ATish at this phase in the game. Although, to be fair the AT-AT jumped almost to 2x by the end of the holiday selling season last year. This is one of the few sets i've invested in this year... and i'm starting to feel good with that choice. The Final Jedi Duel is also showing some promising signs. Goes to show the OT still has legs, while prequel and new trilogy sets are not as strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
