Guest Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 there is a reason why it is called the "dance"Is that because most real dances go on a year or more? Quote
asharerin Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 It looks like the molding machines have cut in on your dance partner.This set's new found popularity has changed somebody's mind in Billund. I wonder if it is more cost effective for TLG to simply keep Red 5 around 2 more years rather than produce a brand new UCS X-Wing model for Rogue One next year? Quote

Who knows? Quote
binici Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 No matter what, you will need to add this to your collection and reselling plans as it will be a hot set this holiday season! Quote
fossilrock Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) If this set goes back to sold out within the next few days (a bet I would hedge), then I think it's telling that it's doing it's final dance. Usually when that sold out tag is applied, it could come back and do a quick encore, but it usually doesn't last long. Tower of Orthanc did a similar dance recently. But, I suspect Red Five's time is nearing. ---------------Well, as I speak, I went and just checked on it's status and Red 5 back to sold out. YEP, following the same pattern as TOO did recently.

justapilgrim Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I order 1-2 at the beginning of the month when the monthly promo isn't sold out. Hoping for tractors next month. Quote

TheOrcKing Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 the dance is on. For those of you old enough to remember and that did not suppress your memories of this bizarre 80's classic: Quote

colossus Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Well sure, have your Bowie and Iron Maiden. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders... you forgot the Dance of Joy (also 80's). If we're doing the retirement dance it should be joy 6 Quote
cladner Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) i'd post kate upton 10 minute cat daddy dance loop but i guess maybe our society needs to tone it down a little on the ol' skinternet and there are children potentially on this website. so i am editing myself. mods you can thank me later. or not. back on topic - just picked up probably my last Red 5 from walmart site-to-store tax free pickup in NH - nice and dented in but still sealed. had a flashback about the time i refused 2 SSD's last summer at the same site-to-store counter because the boxes were dented and had to take a time out to sit down in the blood pressure checker machine to cry a little while while pretending to have my blood pressure checked in the pharmacy department. Sort of fresh - seal codes 27R5. Edited August 20, 2015 by cladner Quote
Guest Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I've been at my target number of these for over a year now. My god just retire Quote
justapilgrim Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Uh, tractors? Tractor beams maybe? Those could snag an X-wing I bet.No, I really mean tractors. Next month free promo is a tractor polybag. Why order one now if they are out of pirates Quote
fossilrock Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 No, I really mean tractors. Next month free promo is a tractor polybag. Why order one now if they are out of pirates There's a new episode 1 lego poster out tomorrow Ok..i kid, i kid. Quote
GhostDad Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 No, I really mean tractors. Next month free promo is a tractor polybag. Why order one now if they are out of piratesWell that's disappointing. What am I supposed to do with a mini tractor? Everyone loves pirates. Tractors are just so... normal. Quote
brickolodon Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Well that's disappointing. What am I supposed to do with a mini tractor? Everyone loves pirates. Tractors are just so... normal.Do not underestimate tractors, very popular ....and cute. Take a look at 7634 city tractor...msrp 14.99 Quote

zskid00 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I ordered one from U.S. Shop at Home yesterday when it said it was on backorder, but my current status says "in warehouse". I thought I was done with this set but I couldn't help buying a couple extra with Episode 7 around the corner. I'm still not sold on that black and orange X-wing. 1 Quote

It'll make more sense once you watch Episode VII and see that the new ubervillain in the Star Wars universe is Darth Pumpkin... Quote
