That's 3 min more than 9515

Now the question is what to get? I mean 2 IST would be a good bet for sure....Keeps you close to the $150 and you get 2 of them. Will 2 ultimately do better than 1 slave, I don't know...but that IST seems to me to be the best option for OT SW sets at the moment, esp for that price plus double points and the other accouterments that comes with it....which will hopefully be sold for 2x that buy in

I was holding out hope for a discounted Sandcrawler...

 

I just bought a Sith Infiltrator with the Toys R Us sale but I will gladly return it next week if I can get an online order in through Lego and get another round of minifigure and poster!

I noticed that the Mr Freeze freebie is still ongoing on the 30th of April. Could be another bonus?

we can only hope.  boy, lego really under-estimated the demand of this promo.  granted the recent "big" releases don't seem the be popular due to their higher price tag.  this sale will surely help.

75094? Is it going to be on sale? Is it worth the investment to hold it? I was going to just grab the AoH set and all the free stuff and call it a day lol

It's on the list.

[gazza]

nothing yet on the aussie lego shop @ home page.

[Migration]

Funny, they didn't make us wait til 8pm the day before the sale this year. 

[thoroakenfelder]

is it wrong in the list, or is there no discount on Kanan's Speeder Bike and Spider Droid? I would assume no discount since they are both pretty recent.

[Alpinemaps]

For those of you using the mobile app, go to Web View on Jeff's post to see the list.

agreed.  wishful thinking.

the last sale on an exclusive set that i remember was the $99 b-wing in May 2013.

the 2017 May the 4th sale will probably include the ASSault on Hoth set  

[Jeffrey_Dollars]

Just called the Orland loaction in IL and im on the list . Gotta love the 4 lego store locations in the Chicago area- locations so close together someone could probably manage to grab 2 of these space slugs if they were motivated to do so.

They are discounted in Canada only, not US

[jonnyhanukkah]

what is the source of this list, by the way?  just curious.  Can't find it on the lego site

Hope it's the same list of sets to be discounted in the UK. 

What i heard from a Lego employee last weekend (so maybe take it with a bucket load of salt as we know how reliable these can be) was 10% off all SW sets not named Assault on Hoth.

Is this the whole list or did they hint on "more things to add on Friday" a la 2 years ago ?

[Nsheppard9101]

Now you guys have me questioning what I was going to buy Saturday morning!

[plastic passion]

so will they frown upon buying $50+ for 6 days straight?     pp  

[inversion]

I hope that there will be exclusive discounts in EU as usual. Otherwise they won't see money from me, the promo sucks and small independent stores have a better deal even with 2xVIP.

Just found something on Lego Shop UK site. Store calendar says 10% off some star wars sets and Free Storm Trooper and that's it. A complete shower of ####.

No mention of double VIP points bit ill wait on the shop banner to change from coming soon. Seems weird that the banner is active earlier on the US site.

If we get the 10% off on D2C as usual then it is better than 2xVIP. 

[biking_tiger]

IST might go quickly at that price, but $79.99 isn't all that much of a discount over "effective" RPP on Amazon and the others. (Cue double points debate...)
