There are many reasons why people don't go to the Lego store. (Parking, Driving, Time, Carrying the DSS & Risk it not being there..etc....)
If you do the math, its not that much of a savings if you live in a No tax Amazon state.  
My state charges 7%,  2x vip point is 10%, so 3% saving =$12 for a DSS.
Remember its $12 toward another Lego store Purchase.  
No polybags this month, so Shopping from Amazon would be the way to go for some folks who makes more than $12/Hour.
The only issue with Amazon is only 2 per order until you receive it.

If you figure in 3% Amazon refund, it's a wash.

so getting back to retiring soon theme here...

there has been a subtle disturbance in the Force manifest on S&**** website.

When grouping the lego star wars theme by newest , there has been further rightward/downward shifting of the SSD which implies its not coming back.

Also, today, the DS and the MF (which are OOS and delayed ship dates) have jumped back a bunch of spots, now moved into the spot between the previszla mandalorian fighter (which is retired soon) and the SSD (which is just plain SOLD OUT).

This either means nothing.  Or it means something.  DS-less SW fans should take note.

I agree in fact I did a retired product search and the number of sets increased by more than 40.  I cannot figure out which ones wre newly added though since I have not checked that in a while.  May4th might become a magical date at LEGO.

IS there a reason why someone would order from amazon Walmart or target relative to the 2 points via lego? Even 3% back via Amazon or 5% via target, and the Lego points are only valid in the future w them, assuming a state w no sales tax, why would Lego direct not be the most viable?

I have a billion points for Amazon. Putting the ssd at under 200.00. I don't pay tax through Amazon. I like not being banned.

Same question I have.  If it officially rolls over next month amazon should see some pretty good buying pressure.  Since amazon, target, and wal-mart still show in stock.  I am going to hold off on my last 8.  Going to hope for a gift card deal or something like in the past.

How do you find out more than 999, that's all I can ever check?

I know someone that works in the distribution center. They are going to check on Monday if there are any pending incoming orders and also get me a stock status on the DS.

There's a lot of confusion about the different statuses on Shop@Home. I made this little cheat sheet to point out the most common ones. I think I've seen "Temporarily Sold Out", but I'm not sure and couldn't find one.

I'm surprised no one has noticed that the UCS R2-D2 is missing completely. Last week i could do a search and then it would show up but now i think their website is messed up because i get a totally screwed up page when i do a search.

Use Amazon Visa CC.

 

For all you guys with this CC, you can now save 6% plus your state tax.

Better than 2x vip points.

Thanks for helping me navigate this, just save me a trip to the Lego Store.

How do you get to 6% cash back with amazon rewards credit card. I thought it was only 3%.  This would be awesome since the T1 VW Camper is in my gold box today :)

He's talking about cash back rewards sites, but we prefer you use the affiliate links.
