skinsfan0521 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'm definitely starting to wonder how limited these really are. LEGO Shop at Home at least shows sold out now, but still available from Target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belac Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I only went two deep at target last night(plus three from Lego) but just received second target shipping e-mail. Sweet! This has my confidence as a winner:) I see its listed still at target but hearing cancellations or notes of unavailable if try to check out. Maybe I'll try again.

It just seems surprising, but I guess the fact that it's sold out on LEGO Shop at Home gives some hope that it is actually limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am able to go all the way through to "Place Order" right now - perhaps some more available? Not looking to buy more, so not going to test the button .... just in case someone is still looking to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still able to continue purchasing them from Target (needing to vary the order contents a bit). I know that others on here have been doing the same, so either there are a ton of these available or the "limit" of 1 per person and only for redcard holders is keeping these around longer than I would expect. I'm hoping for the latter, but not convinced yet. That isn't stopping me from continuing to place orders though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was only back in stock there for a short time after the first OOS. Now, back to OOS. That's actually the only thing giving me much hope that it is limited! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they range from there to mid-$80s, depending on free shipping or not, etc. How did Vader perform? Drop to the bottom then rise again? Same with the TLM2 BrickHeadz. I sold those quick and never looked back, didn't follow the trend. Maybe my question is whether to be a QFLL or wait out the drop to the bottom in hopes it rises back to something equal or better than now. I don't list things I don't have in hand yet.

Vader didnt do anything until the Sith Trooper helmet and the other helmets were announced.

oneknightr Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Still shows as available at Target. As Han would say, "I have a bad feeling about this." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourkidsbuilding Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 You could get the Vader bust for close to retail for a while, then it started to climb again... This set will do just fine unless you are trying to quick flip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksBrotha Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 19 hours ago, Sandwraith said: Toysrus Canada out of stock now as well. So this has been available at 3 locations, is that it or does anyone know of another source? LEGO Shop at Home, US Target & TRU Can? 18 hours ago, Sfcommando14 said: Lego came out and said they would provide more availability for these exclusives after the debacle of TLM2 Brickheadz. I assume a run at SAH was always going to happen, they just had more since none went to con attendees. Im guessing when they made that statement, it was well before the corona virus and cancellation of the comic cons. Because they did mention those events will still be exclusive, so what we are seeing here could be a mix of distribution from a limited run intended for the CC's. I just dont have enough confidence in TLG to expect them to have a well devised plan. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegraverobber Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Still available on Target. Uh oh. I imagine people are buying this at higher rates than Vader’s Bust, and that one seemed to have significantly less stock.

exracer327 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 lol, well, this set has several listings on amazon for $200+. It has only been available via Target w/ Red Card and LEGO Shop at Home (and it is still oos at LEGO Shop at Home). The Vader Bust was for sale on and off for a little while after it launched as well and was only available via Target Red Card. Then it was gone for good. A lot of FOMO on this Bespin Duel set.

I remember the Vader Bust only staying in stock for minutes to an hour at a time. It did come back in stock a few times over the course of a couple of days, but didn't last long each time IIRC. I had a difficult time getting my two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
