There was a whole series of them given away at the collector's panel at Star Wars Celebration V.  I have several, but I've always wanted a complete set.

Working on flipping my second MILF (3rd if you include selling my spot in line opening day). Sold the last for $1300 cash locally.

Got an email from someone interested, lived less than 10 miles away. Asked them when they'd want to meet. Response was "Can you accept Paypal and ship it?". Told them they were close enough that I can just drop it off. They demanded to pay via Paypal and that I ship the box the less than 10 miles down the road to them.

Not sure they could make it more obvious that they were trying to scam me, or they're using stolen funds... either way, I want nothing to do with it.

Saturn V is on lego store online. I already bought one a while back. Wondering if I should pick another one up for for collecting and one to built

edit: anyways I have 155 dollars in vip, going to use that to get a 2nd one

I love to start my day with a hot bowl of Milf.

There is a definite overall vibe of the animated clip from the infamous Christmas Special here especially with how Han Solo is drawn. The Count Dookula parody is good on so many levels. Franken Naberrie feels the most forced or not sure really. I have to wonder which box is the most popular by far.

Fetties and Vader Flakes were pretty popular.  Do you see how the Raisin Han and Greedos boxes fit together?

Are you just keeping them in the box for investment or will you actually build them?

My mantra has always been one to build & one to keep. I have three of the MF17. One to build, one to sell soon, and one to hold on to.

Why even get an MF right now just to hold it? It's too big and the box to fragile (relative to size) to justify. Surely better off just buying in 12months on a good promo with plenty of availability?

im assuming most people getting them so soon either want to build or QFLL quickly. But to just hold makes no sense to me.

As for the the first Death Star, I don't think they're doing too well price wise. Shoulda sold!

 

I'm not really in it for a maximum profit flip. I just like collecting. To be perfectly honest, I've never sold a set even though I have told my wife that was the intent  And it truly has been, but I haven't done it yet lol!

I’d have simply deleted the email, an obvious scam and PayPal would’ve also sided with them. You’d have lost your MF, money AND paid a chargeback fee. If somebody wants to buy from me without cash & carry, I’ll only accept bank transfer, Bitcoin or guaranteed cheque.

Trust nobody!

Finally got it delivered today after ordering on the 14th.

Box is exactly as big as I thought it would be.  Two BWE's in Lego box is about same size.

[keith1833]

Got mine delivered today as well.

My daughter thinks the porgs look like penguins from space 

[vincevaughn]

Just shipped out my first one as the second one arrived XD......these things take up so much space in the house.....

[GenMaster]

Mine arrived yesterday amid some snow and the outer box got soaked a bit, everything inside was in top shape.

I saw out west getting snow in the news, i feel for ya!

[Floriano]

Finally got mine! This one will fly across the Atlantic in 12 parsecs ?

[scythanith]

They are multiplying!

[klo1978]

It is killing me to look at the freshly delivered set, and I feel dirty, but eBay it is, I just can’t justify the $800. I’m waitlisted at the local Lego store and will use the proceeds to hopefully get another.

This will be around for years and supply will catch up with demand sometime....patience is truly a virtue here.

I've had the one I purchased on for $1000 without any bites for the local sites.  I don't plan to sell it but was curious to play the waters.  4 others listed for 1300-1400 respectively for awhile now.  I'm feeling the people willing to purchase this in the states at least is greatly diminishing.
