Thoughts on the 50% off b-wing rumors? didn't they have 50% off the winter village in lego stores a few months ago? I'm wondering if I should camp out... from what I've gathered the logic in discounting it that much is it isn't selling well and there are about to be a lot of large SW sets out at once

Do these type of discounts show up on S@H as well or are they usually just in store only?

I got a post card type flyer in the mail promoting the May the 4th event the other day from LEGO and in very small print at the bottom it said "selected Star Wars sets on sale".

Same. Got it yesterday. Not sure how much or which ones though.

Do these type of discounts show up on LEGO Shop at Home as well or are they usually just in store only?

It would be pretty sweet if the stars aligned and this applied online as well. 50% off the B-Wing, free minifigure, free shipping, and don't have to leave the house. Sounds too good to be true, though.

I guess we'll find out in a little less than a week.

This right here. But uughhh, now this is just intriguing enough where I think I'm going to have make the trip...

That is confirmed?

Haha, if so I`m buying 2. Just like most everyone else in this thread though, I`d be surprised.

If it 50% off here or something like that, I will be buying a few of them!

Although I would love to see the B-Wing at 50%, I cannot recall any other UCS set ever being discounted to such a degree. Only because Mos Eisley made the statement will I consider some truth to it. Time will tell. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

If this rumor turns out to be true I hope Lego has truck loads if this set in stock to meet the demand. I know I'll be ordering as many as I possibly can.

if they are gonna do this it would probably be because it isn't selling so well. So they wouldn't have extra it would just be while supply lasts type of deal.......if you snooze you loose!

Credit card completely empty. Bring it on!

I have doubts of this price. If it did reach this price, yes, I would buy it. But either way Lego is getting at least 75 dollars from me for their exclusives if nothing were on sale. Fine Lego, you win, I admit it.

If this is the case, I am afraid they will sell out quickly. Do you think it is worth it to purcahse this week and then return and re-purcahse with the discount on the 4th? Do you think they would honor the discount? I know the store near me will sell out immediately if it is 50% off. I can always just return it if it turns out not to be on discount, correct? Forgive me, I am still new to this as I only started investing about 6 months ago...still trying to find ways to get the "hot deals"!

Well if a moderator said its true................. Yup guess time will tell. Either way I'll be up there when my store opens just bc I know they will give me a few extra han hoths. But yeah I'm hoping Jor El Polybag is out then too. If it's really 50% off I will get my five limit and hopefully have another person with me to get their five limit

I don't have the funds to get as much as 5, but if this sale is for real I will definitely get as many as I can afford, plus the one for personal building.

Yup I'll build one too

I think everyone thinks that there is gonna be a store full of B wings at half off. I think they will have their normal stock and when they are gone they are gone. Just my personal opinion. I have been wrong many times in the past.

This will probably correct. But if you get there as soon as the store opens you should have no issue finding the amount you want. My store in Orlando is always claiming they have the biggest stock room of the US, so I should be fine :p

I will eagerly await news from my east coast brethren so that I know ahead of time what to do :)

I'll be sure to post in this thread as soon as I get back from the store

Well, 50% off any set (let alone a SW UCS one) is one way to really move inventory.

Make sure that if you guys are going to buy stuff from LEGO in a few days you come come here first and click on one of Brickpicker's LEGO Shop at Home links to give them credit.

I assume we should be getting some official news soon. I thought vips were given early access to the sales last year?

I doubt we will get early notice of the Bwing being half off......I will be there as soon as they open to find out though!

We got early notice of the SSD being 20% off. Usually someone gets a hold of the info early and lets the cat out of the bag.
