Jeff Mack Posted May 4, 2013 Author Posted May 4, 2013 i can only imagine the # % of B-Wings purchased through Lego and TRU online done by brickpickers... All the LEGO sites were posting it, I am sure there was a lot from all over, but I am sure a ton were sold! Quote
jaisonline Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 $183.56 today Amazon is down to $178.43 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009OJGLR4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER We know TRU was down to $99.99 but is now sold-out http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12710104&sku=12444570 Walmart and Target still between $197 and $200 Quote
c4dreams Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Man I'm so angry. Amazon has the B-wing for $179 now. They obviously were watching BP and ordered as many as they could so they could resell them for a profit. Oh yeah, Target and Walmart are selling it for $199. So, obviously they got in on the $99 deal and bought as many as they could too. Now, all the kids who NEED Legos and can't afford $199 but could afford $99 are out of luck just because these jerk stores want to make a profit. What kind of country is this where some companies (or people) can try and make a profit off of other people (especially children!)?

They are just lowering the price since users (like me) contacted them with lower priced links (e.g. TRU) or probably hope those who missed the $99 price will shop there while still getting a nice discount.

Veegs Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Man alive, I grabbed mine just after midnight, saw a couple posts from the Macks and a couple others, then went straight to bed. If I had known the poo was going to hit the fan, I might have stayed up a little longer. Nothing like a big sale to rile people up! Who knew Lego investing could be filled with such rancor? Quote
exciter1 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I personally think this was a clearance. That or we have significantly underestimated the amount of investors. 45 minutes into the sale and they are sold out. If this was a sale that they were planning on making a profit on, they would have realized the market that was available for this deal and planned accordingly. I would have liked to have been able to get one, but I'm not paying anyone $180 for it. I will say I am surprised that they had the limit all of the way up to 5. You have to remember, this deal was also advertised on Slickdeals.com. Those guys have millions of followers and they'll buy 5 of anything, as long as they mutually agree it's a good deal. Quote
eklein03 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Went to sleep at 12:30 and woke up to read what I missed in this thread... soooo much tension! disregard after 2:05 hahaha Quote

Totally expected, it happens on every deal forum. Quote
comicblast Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I hope amazon drops its today..It may drop a little more, but with this hype, I am going to have to guess that they will sell out before it gets to $150, which is not to shabby of a deal, on a regular day. Today is no regular day though... Quote
beartrapper Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I placed two separate orders just after midnight for 1 being each so I could get two of the mini figs and it looks like one of my orders was cancelled. Quote
kerrmando Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 You can call your local store and they will sell two to you over the phone via credit card.. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Just arriving from the store. When they opened people went either for the X Wing or B Wing, it was not bad at all, but apparently they only had around 15 B Wings that dissapeared in less than 10 minutes. Grabbed one of each, and they threw in one Han and One frigate on each transaction. Pretty cool! Quote

I got some last night *ducks flying tomatoes* and then I was up until around 2:30 am reading on here, so I slept in. Quote
Maverick2k1 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I did the same thing, stayed up reading the drama unfold before my very eyes lol. Problem is I had to wake up at 430am to go to work. Four cups of coffee and I'm still dragging lol. Quote

Good to hear it wasn't crazy! Gives me hope!! Quote
toolbox1 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I wanted to thank the original poster of the deal. I stayed awake until midnight and ordered one. Also can we assume that this set is now eol? Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Got to the store at 9:20 am, there were probably around 20 people waiting. They all behaved thank God. Disney LEGO store Quote

I just ordered another one (total 5 set)! This deal certainly makes this good but expensive model set a very attractive one! Quote
