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?

It sounds like Rogue one is about the ground war, so I'm not sure that an X-wing will be all that vital. Who knows?

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.

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.

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.

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