jaisonline Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 https://click.linksynergy.com/link?id%3DjfOcdvfTNg4%26offerid%3D721845.10000089%26type%3D3%26murl=https://www.lego.com/en-us/page/star-wars-day-deals I was def hoping for some sales. 2x VIP points is “ok” despite the new system. The micro Death Star II set is cool but really could have included an exclusive minifig like w/ the micro Harry Potter and Avengers Tower sets. Where are the sales though? At least previous May 4th sales were bad but they were something. The last decent May 4th sale was in 2013 with the $99.99 10227 UCS B-Wing.

Captain_chaos Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I decided to buy the Tantive IV today (despite having 10198 already) as the combo of double VIP, the mini build, £25 in VIP vouchers to redeem, and (pending) 8% cashback is a decent enough combination. Irritatingly, I've since found that there is also a mystery gift promo when paying with Paypal (not sure if this is also available in the USA). You're right though, it's pretty poor to have no discounts on sets people actually want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'd buy the Tantive for 20% off, but at full price I'm going to wait for Black Friday. I can't believe there are zero sales for this event. What a dud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmaslıefendi Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I guess we won't get a UCS AT-AT this fall... what could it be? It surprised me that there will be no Gunship, instead we get another AAT & Grievous Starfighter... maybe we get the UCS Gunship this year?

Soooo.....perhaps a Gunship next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I can't believe they don't have a single set on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 So am I reading this correctly? There are no star wars sets on sale for the May 4th promo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackables Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Lego making it real easy for me to skip this again this year. I can't remember a May 4th promo without some sets on sale...crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It feels like they're taking advantage of the increase in sales due to SIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I had my fingers crossed for 20% off on UCS Yoda or the Tantive IV...no dice. Looks like a pass this year, first time in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSpeed Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I went for the A-wing to get the 2x points and the promo. Probably going to go ahead and try and flip the promo along with my other 2 micro sets as a bundle if the box is in good enough condition.

exracer327 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Agreed, this year is a bust. Only set I wanted (and bought) was the UCS A-Wing. The fact that once I got onto the website and had no problems making a purchase tells me no one was really buying anything significant last night. I did notice the Death Star came back from out of stock, to in stock, to backorder within a matter of about an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotsoTrainz Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I was hoping the Slave 1 would be on discount as it's an older set that'd qualify for the promotion, but nope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ready to spend some money for the personal collection, just because I’m bored and we’re making it a fun Star Wars weekend for the family and I wanted some personal builds for after the kids went to bed. Cant justify buying anything really, which is kind of a bummer. Edited May 1, 2020 by thegraverobber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I wonder if they'll end up putting some sets on sales over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivepicnic Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I only made two orders, preordering the Razor Crest in one and the Mando BH in the other. Threw some small accessory packs in with both orders to make sure the promos shipped now while I wait for the preorders. I planned on placing a few more orders but not without any discounts.

Dr Jedi Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Given the overall crappiness of this sale, I wonder if we won't see depressed numbers of this GWP on the secondary market? Could make this GWP a sneaky good set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means they will be unloading them forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could make this GWP a sneaky good set. Issue is, the GWP is also really crappy. It's been panned on all of the YouTube channels I've seen review it so this seems to be the consensus opinion. I certainly wouldn't want it in my own collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
