[exciter1]

I’ll start the May the 4th Be With You 2021 thread.

Rumor has it Amazon will discount the Razor Crest.

There is still no news about any specific sets being discount on SAH on May 4th so I take it as no discount except the double VIP points. I can't remember if sets were discounted last year actually.

[KShine]

I don't think that I will need to be up, shopping at midnight tonight.

Actually going away till Sunday - I don't expect that they will be running out of much before then.

There's no sets reduced, Australia event is live and is not showing anything new. 

Not staying up for this one, bit of a let down really. Think last year was pretty poor too. 

[starwarsxpress]

so they already have queuing running in the usa.  interesting

is anyone actually going to the store to get the free gwp and free poly or just buying online and skipping the poly ?

I'd rather get things in the store but concerned that by the time I am at the store most things will sell out and then go home and buy mid day tomorrow online and most things online I could have bought at midnight are now sold out

the old circular conundrum

lol anyone have any thoughts of value ?

 

[Pseudoty]

Is this new?

[Bartat]

Yep queue was in place for UK tonight. TBH much better experience than other recent events so either it helped or there was just much less traffic than usual

[oneknightr]

What are you guys buying? No real discounts and the GWP is kind of meh to me...probably because I don't have any of the other ones.

I'm just buying one Death Star Final Duel and one Razor Crest.  That is it...

[sud28]

I think 1 vader castle and 1 razor crest

[starwarsxpress]

the only thing less exciting than the lego may 4th sales that are not that exciting is the lack of total interest by anyone on brickpicker lol ..... guess that says something about the sale

[JimboJet]

Website kicked me out and crashed.  Surprise!

[starwarsxpress]

yep stuck in a queue with out a count down

[JimboJet]

VIP offline again

Promos not loading....

[starwarsxpress]

and this explains why with thousands of people trying to buy ..... they don't need to put anything on sale

Not working anyway 😝

[supergman]

VIP loading for me on computer and phone, but nothing new is there, if anything should even be there in the first place....

[starwarsxpress]

I am on the site but there is nothing there like anything

[JimboJet]

Entered the VIP drawing for Dutch and got Poe's X-wing and the GWP.  Will go to brick/mortar to get R2 and 2 GWP tomorrow.  Tired of the GWP and big sets arriving damaged.

[Kopmack]

12:01 404 error

12:06 multiple tries to get to the site, was successful but got the waiting list page, then the screen went blank, several 505 errors, a blank screen.

got back in at 12:08, selected R2 but the bag said 0. hit it again, was successful.

checkout process had serious lag but waited it out.

Order was accepted.

[Belac]

Ya, not much on the buy for investment list, but as a fan I bought a final Duel so I could get a GWP. I had heard no vip coin drop tonight so wasn't too worried about LEGO site issues.                    It Worked as glitchy but successful as usual.

[JimboJet]

One of my errors said Cookie Too Large. I was eating Oreos at the time, so don't know what they're talking about.

Well, spent more than I thought I was...noticed the star destroyer was back in stock so pulled the trigger on that for the personal collection.

Me too. It’s been out of stock for a while now. I’m assuming it will be around for a while longer, but who knows these days? Wanted to make sure and get one. With my luck this is probably the best “sale” I’m going to get on this set.

Of course, I was also one of the lucky “super-awesome-once-in-a-lifetime-buy-it-now-or-you’ll-regret-it-forever Black VIP Card” early adopters for the UCS MilF, so the rest of you folks will probably get the UCS ISD for about 65% off within the next month or so. 😂
