As far as I know, and I saw a comparison video on YouTube about it, this BB-8 set is scaled nearly perfectly with the UCS R2-D2 set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CollectorOfLegos Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I picked up the last one on the shelf at Target. I royally screwed up this weekend. Purchased a bunch on Friday when I was at work at SAH, got home, cancelled the order, now regretting it. Went out Saturday and picked up what I cancelled, so I missed out on the double VIP points.

Kenxxx Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Like @CollectorOfLegos , I picked up a couple today at MSRP - just to make sure I didn't miss out. But I gotta believe Lego Group has thousands more in production, and all the outlets will be well stocked in October / November. In fact, we could be the reason why they aren't taking backorders here in the USA... they know resellers are ready to put 5 on each account, but they want to make sure and have plenty for little Timmy this holiday season.

Phil B Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Kmart Error came today $70 What was the error in that? $70 is a fairly typical KMart price after coupons and sweeps points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeakdigital00 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 15% off code that they force applied plus additional 15% for the 20 minute phone call to customer service. They only hit my debit for 70 plus tax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_1973 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 This set is everywhere. Kmart, target, Walmart, tru. I think Barnes, bam and BB have it too. Great set, over flooded. 60% off or bust. At Target ($25 off $100 spent on SW). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrymc4677 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Is anybody else having issues when trying to add this set to their brickfolios? When I enter "75187" as a set number to add and hit enter nothing comes up. Out of the hundreds of sets that I've entered over the years I've never had that happen before. On another note, this set has "winner" written all over it. This holiday season I think the demand for this set will be high, so I'm hoping production won't be able to keep up. I'm aiming for twenty to flip. Up to fourteen so far. Now is the time to stock up when nobody is doing their holiday shopping yet. If production keeps pace and the flipping opportunity doesn't present itself then I have no problem holding onto this little guy until eol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 This is BP's way of telling you, that it's too soon to buy even for flipping! :-). On a serious note these are everywhere despite huge demand. Last thing you want is to be tying up capital and be holding so many with it still being around for at least the next 2 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry is still sitting on 40+ Joker Steamrollers, and his poker table full of Rey's Speeders picture is also almost 2yrs old now, so this is not new territory for him 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jaisonline Posted September 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2017 Finally got around to building a LEGO set since earlier this summer. I really like this BB-8 set. Much like the R2 set, I wasn't looking forward to the build but was happy afterwards. here are some comparison pics. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
