stackables Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spener90 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 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! I'll be at the one in Cincinnati if any other Brickpickers will be in that morning. Hopefully a good set of deals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chironex Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Last year when the SSDs were 20% off, was it in store only or was it on S @ **** too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4dreams Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 i was just in my Lego Store for the Holocron droid minibuild, And the manager confirmed that the B wing Will be 50% off. I don't know if the deal is online also, but he said they have 32 in store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems last time I tried to get around S@H's scandalous regional pricing by buying in US currency and shipping it to my freight forwarding company in the US they stopped the order, bummer.

Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I will definitely be there at least 20 minutes before they open, so I should be ok. The thing is, now I am debating whether it is worth it to get more than one of these (besides the one for me personally) even if I don't currently have it on the budget. It just seems like one of the best deals ever on a UCS set that will for sure net me some nice profits, even if I just flip some of them instantly. Besides, there is the chance to get several Han Solo Hoth that can offset some of the costs. What do you guys say?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotahorn Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 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! i am having people over to watch all 3 movies.... but I may have to delay and meet you there man.

stephen_rockefeller Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I am gonna be there when it opens but if it becomes a mad scramble like black Friday sales them I'm out......I'm too mature to be pushing people out of the way to get my hands on a b wing. I don't have time for that garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have time for that garbage. Is that something that usually happens?, this will be my first May the 4th at the LEGO store and my main objective is just to get an X-Wing for myself, but I don't really want to have to deal with that kind of thing if is something that happens every year. My LEGO store is inside Disney, so maybe that will help with the crowd control or something I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I dunno man I just foresee something like this happening. A mix of greedy investors and over zealous parents will not be a good mix. I will have worked all night the night before so my patience will be wearing thin to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrmando Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've talked to five employees in the three stores closest to me. All swear they have not heard about this and that its rumors... I'll be the eternal optimist and be there when it opens but yeah.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I really hope that's not the case... if not I guess I'll wait a couple of days to get the X-wing then, as much as I would like to get my own B-wing as well it is not one of my priorities right now and certainly not worth it if the store is just completely crazy full.

brandon90820 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Just called lego store by me confirmed 50% off b-wing max 3 per person if you call saturday they will hold one until the end of the business day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My LEGO store is inside Disney, so maybe that will help with the crowd control or something I hope. Agreed, I like the 50% off, but I don't care enough to get in a heated confrontation over them. I avoid BF nowadays because of a scuffle a few years back, I was pushed pretty hard from behind by some dude, I snapped and spun around and shoulder checked the guy sending him to the ground. I'm lucky I wasn't arrested for assault. I make it a point in public though never to touch anyone I don't know and I don't like random people touching me either, at least not men.

jdhunter04 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I just came back from the free build tonight at our local store and although they would not confirm the B-Wing they did say they expected a good deal this year. I was by the stock room door (that is where they keep the Series 10 Minifigs) and they left the stock room door open. My husband nudged me and I looked to see a whole wall of B-WIngs. We'll be there when it opens no doubt!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strytlr Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but are you talking about the b-wings being on sale when the store first opens in the morning on Saturday, or is it only during the event? My local store says "12-2 pm" for the event, but they open at 9 am. I want to make sure I get there on time, but not 3 hours early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The event is May the 4th be with you, which is all day........I don't know what other "event" would be from 12-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 TRU does have a minibuild that day for a mini JEK-14 ship. It's pretty cool, if I'm up that way we'll stop by and do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is the excuse I've been looking for to drive 2 hours to the Lego store in either Orlando or the one at Legoland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimsumonly Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Yup just called my local Lego store and spoke with the manage and she confirmed that the B-Wing is 50% off and limit 3 per person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emes Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Aha! Yes, that helps a lot.

That's technically a different company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
