Promo weekend wiped out a bunch of retiring sets on SAH: Batwing, Apollo, Central Perk, ISS, even the big stadium are sold out. I guess they knew what they were doing not discounting more for Black Friday

Apollo sold out and its immediately 200$. 

But only 5 Sellers for arguably the greatest set ever made by amazon? Whats up with that?

Nice.  And I guarantee they would never release this set again.

that explains it. Still, 26 sellers for apollo? Even some random dog/beach/flower friends set has 100 these days

I recall reading it's an Amazon exclusive. It may have been a slow seller, so they blew out stock with the sale this morning.

Amazon selling out of stock during sales is a common phenomenon. They often come back in stock shortly thereafter as only a portion of their inventory was allocated to the sale. I've seen this dozens of times, I always get my hopes up that somehting is gone for good and it pops back up pop soon enough.

You mean, re-re-release? 😛 I hope not. I'm tired of the 21309's on the shelf.

I think this set could be a winner. Short lifespan. Great minifigs only available in this set.

I bought my share when they were 70$. Its definitely susceptible to a remake or completely flopping from a terrible Mandalorian season.

I just had my last one delivered by Amazon. It was a little beat up, so probably a return.

Check local stores.  The nearest 5 stores to me all had stock for local pick-up.
