Anakinisvader Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Do you think a lot of people will lose money on this one? There won't be a lot of money made short term but will be a few years down the road. Quote
Miro78 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Was going to get only maybe like 1 or 2, but then it's hard to pass up a deal like this, so got total of 5 in 4 transactions. Sure was hoping for some other great deals, but not much else. The 10% on the other SW sets isn't much when I can get a better deal on Amazon. I did notice that Amazon dropped the B-wing price by 8% today (er, yesterday for you on the East coast). Miro Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I just said a little prayer that none of these orders get canceled.......I don't feel like hearing people endlessly complain if that were to happen Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I feel sorry for the kid whose parent(s) put them to sleep early tonight and promised to order one tomorrow, only to have it sold out everywhere because of bastards like us.. =P Quote

steakyboy Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Steakyboy, I think they might let the coupons slide.. Kermando, thanks for following my thread! Preciate it! I bought 2 online, eating the $40 in coupons. My son and I will make a morning of it and head to the store bright and early with coupons in hand. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for response! Quote
SirSydney Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 My second SW order didn't list the Han Solo. Maybe they're already out. Quote
nolanfan34 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I picked up two. Will probably be flipping one of them right away, we'll see. I want to buy more but don't really have the space or room... And, while writing this, I see that they are gone on LEGO Shop at Home...glad I got two I guess. Quote
Grolim Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Need to find some way of getting around the regional restriction! Might just try using a different freight forward company, but most likely my order will be cancelled... grrr! I guess some of you can make easy money though if you flip them on Ebay to international buyers who can't access the deal. :) Quote
Jeff Mack Posted May 4, 2013 Author Posted May 4, 2013 Sold out... Call to check product availability Amazing, sold out in less than 1 hour... Quote
Sflego86 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Sold out... Call to check product availability That was quick. Glad we got in on it while we could. Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 what's even more amazing is Lego's site didn't even spaz out despite the massive flurry of people buying b-wings. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I had it in my head that I was gonna rush out and buy two of these, but now I'm not so sure. Here are some facts 1. There are only 47 sold listings on ebay. So about 15 per month. 2. The average sale seems to be 180 with free shipping. 3. The whole Lego community tends to agree it's a crap set. Who ever heard of a 200 dollar ucs set falling apart?? An unremarkable toy is still unremarkable when it's 50% off. And who needs another han solo? This is my first May the 4th since coming out of my dark ages, and I am woefully disappointed. I'm staying home. Just my $.02. Quote
Strytlr Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Wow. They lasted longer than I thought they would, actually. But still... I wonder how many they sold total? Quote
Ed Mack Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Amazing, sold out in less than 1 hour...The power of BrickPicker... :coolsmirk: Quote
emazers Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I had the 10 shipped to 2 different address's. I could get a few more with another card, but will go to Annapolis Lego Store in the morning so I can do all seperate transactions, plus I have coupons, so with points and coupon I will be picking up 1-2 more Tower Bridges. "Anybody that is trying to flip them just to make $20-$30 I Think is not wise. So you make $100-$150 but now you don't have anymore. Instead hold on to them for a few years and make $500 and up. I no it will be hard for some people to do, the key is don't crack under pressure, in the next few days there will be about 300 of these on ebay. Ed Quote
Grolim Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Sold out... Call to check product availability Ah crud, it is to. Had 2 in my cart and then went to checkout... poof, gone! Ah well, probably would have worked. Anyone wanna sell me one for $101 and make a quick buck, lols :) Quote

Guest ph4tb0i Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I'm seriously wondering if this means that B-Wing is officially done or are they going to re-release a less "fragile" set... *crosses fingers B-Wing goes to the old folks home* Quote
deanhuff Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I just bought two 10227-1: B-Wing Starfighters for 99.00 each. From lego online shop Quote
nolanfan34 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Amazing, sold out in less than 1 hour... I was surprised it took that long actually. Good to see they didn't have a million of them sitting around though. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I wanted 2 B-Wings and got them both. It was sold out in 40 minutes. How many B-Wings do you think they have in stock ? Quote
Strytlr Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 what's even more amazing is Lego's site didn't even spaz out despite the massive flurry of people buying b-wings. I notice the confirmation emails aren't coming through yet. But maybe that's just me. I sure wouldn't want to be working in their warehouse the next few days... :P Quote

I understand what you are saying, but I (my opinion) still think it is a very cool set. I am in no rush and will keep them for however long it takes. I really don't think it should be considered a "crap" set Quote
