That's okay it's got to come back so it can be discounted for Brick Friday.

Doing a little travelling today and I am in Birmingham, AL.  The B&M store down here had three Red Fives in stock.  Plus all the usually stuff (DS, FW, KM, Simpsons House, Pet Store, etc.

Did the UCS X-Wing retire?

Teach a man to fish and what not. 

 

There's a thread dedicated to this set and you can check S@H yourself.  Unless it's listed as retired product there, most people don't know.

That could tempt me but, I've still not heard from CS yet regarding my ban, I keep forgetting to call them. I'll get the other half to order at work if need be.

Yeah, I know.  I felt bad every time I looked at another set.  My heart sank with another 40+ number.  At least I redeemed myself by looking, since I usually forget.  lol

Lego is milking the investor. 

[pete411]

Yes. Lego is totally milking us. You wouldn't believe how poorly this sold until just about six months ago. I was buying sets with early 2014 seals back in May.

41R5 is the same code that people have been reporting since October.  All the Red5s I obtained recently from amazon have been 41R5.  It's actually encouraging to me that there isn't something more recent on the shelves of the LEGO store.  Put the Cristal on some ice.  32 days 21 hours, 55 minutes til lift off.

The good news for Lego is the horde is incapable of learning

Partly also because the new star wars movie is still far from minds of most folks except the most loyal fans.

Fixed?

How many of us think we know exactly what is going on and yet act/buy to the contrary anyway?

In my defence, I have no idea what is going on.

This. People who should know better posting about how they picked up 10 PS or whatever. Such a sad sight.

There's a point where it's more advisable to let it die and buy something else. That time has come for PS multiple times.

[conceptmachine]

Didn't see this in the new catalog.  Who knows..probably wasn't in the last one either.  If these still have the same date codes this could be a decent investment.  Depends on how many they made that week.    I only have 5 of them.  Not getting any more either

[chubz]

just picked up 2 red 5 x-wing

37r5

41r5

 The time for PS hasn't come multiple times.  Grand Emporium Sold OUt in October last year.  Fire Brigade went in December the year before.  October-December is modular retirement season.  We're in the thick of it.

I have completely ignored this set for a long time (except for a couple I got early, including one for myself)... I might get a couple more over the next couple months. 5 total looks like a pretty decent goal.

I hope for our sake you are right.
