Any word on when the Bonsai Tree and Flower Bouquet are going?  If they don't go in December, they'll be entering their 3rd year.  I haven't seen any from the Botanical line on any retiring lists.

So...are the hordes going in deep on meditation chamber with the sale? It's the pick everyone loves but.....the dirty little secret is.... no one seems to actually like the set. Personally, To my non star wars eyes seems uber boring, no exclusive minifigs, comprised mostly of base pieces, top isnt closed in a satisfying way. Awful sales rank on amazon. Yes i realize its exclusive but so is aquarium and thats 17k vs 150k. Subject material is awesome tho. An exclusive fig and more stable top and id be more gung ho

sorry. My assumption is that the daily deals is the thread that most ppl check out first. but i didnt want to spam that thread up so i moved it here. real crickets. I guess it is a stinker. Or maybe the whales are too busy hoarding 🙄

There is already a remake rumored for next year but it is one of those new diorama sets like the trash compactor IIRC.

Throne room, meditation chamber, all the same isn’t it? Man don’t listen to me I am still using the ios Target app to check prices

Throne room, meditation chamber,

I solved it: what are things to describe the bathroom.

Yay LEGO!

Meditation sold out at Walmart. 1k+ sold per yesterday per the app.

My seal codes say 224R1 so looks like one run and done for this puppy.

[EctoG63AMG]

So I need some feedback regarding the 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder. The set is slated for retirement this year and for the longest time this set was $31.99. Do people here think it will ever return to that price point between now and end of the year? Right now it’s been hovering at $38.59 on Amazon and Walmart and a few weeks back was $35 something. Should I buy at the price point it’s at now? I come from the collector side of this hobby and like to get Star Wars sets for “army building”. Regret not having picked it up for $31.99 when it was at this prices for months on end.

Classic Dilemma. No one here knows the answer to that. It's akin to asking if the stock you like will go straight up or dip a little more so you can buy at a lower price. What many do is price average. Buy some now. But dont go all in just incase price drops....
