9516 - Jabba's Palace

[studontop]

A rehash of the batcave soon is not too unlikely. TMNT has a turtle lair in the first wave and there's gonna be a bigger one in the following wave.

[emazers]

The only people who no when the Exclusives are retiring are only about 4 people if that, but on any set that I can get info on about retiring I will list it

[binici]

Glad I found a JP on clearance at WM today. Saw a few Batcaves here and there at a few Targets, but very low on stock. I wonder if they will roll them out on clearance before summer...

[StealthSleeper]

But the new one will have purple pants.

 

That was pure gold lol.

[binici]

Found this yesterday at WM, but it was $80. Didn't want to take a chance because it was the only one left.

Here in SoCal, we don't get crazy clearances like you all!

Anyhow, with this set retiring soon, it will be a winner!

[lego89]

rancor pit is going for $40 clearance at some walmarts

[spener90]

Thinking two things about the pit. 1. Winner 2. If LEGO made a mold they probably will be releasing another rancor set in the future

Possibly, but somewhere down the line...

 

Edit: Unless rancors appear somewhere in the tv shows? Do they?

I don't know of any.

 

And its dead so unless they make another in the new movies, I think the remake chances are slim.

 

Eitherway, this set should double after retirement and you would probably sell well before a remake anyway.

They appear in the clone wars cartoon.  I think the planet Savage Opress is found on is inhabited by rancors.

You be correct!

Maybe a clear Rancor Force Ghost?

[Jojoyojimbi]

if the new movies feature dathomir witches then there'll be a @#$ton of new rancor fans, and they'll want the ones with saddles

[MarleyMoose]

Jabba's Rancor was small and sick according to the book.

[Huskers1236]

A bit off topic, but if any of you have the XBox Kinect Star Wars game, there's a level where you can be a Rancor and raise hell.  It's pretty fun.

All the stores around here have restocked on Batcaves. But no JPs anywhere.

That's good to know. Batcaves seem to be restocking, but it is interesting how they only have very few qty on the shelf at TRU, Target and some WM...

[legoaddiction]

Plenty of palaces here in Australia

Be better if we saw more discounting on them. I miss those $108-$120 days between K-Mart and Big W

[legoaddiction]

Yes that would definately make my day

[justgod]

May have been mentioned elsewhere, but I can't seem to find the Batcave on TRU (US) website. Tried by item number and a manual search through the listings. Maybe someone can find it and throw up the link?

 

If this is going to be around the rest of the year, why would it slowly be disappearing? Is it just that TRU isn't going to carry it?

[BrickLegacy]

Besides local clearance, what are some of the best prices we've seen for JP?

 

I picked up one for $82 off YoYo on 11/1/13 (using a 30% coupon) but don't recall seeing any other crazy deals.

 

Would you consider buying this at full retail now if you want to stock up?  I love the set.

I picked up several at Wal-Mart clearance last year, $69 each.

We're off to Turkey see Hagia Sofia this week. Will let you know if it looks anything like Jabba's palace when we get back.

I don't see it anymore either. It definitely has disappeared from B&M again. I see no more batcaves at any target/WM/TRU etc.

I've already been there, no need for the delayed update. It does not look like Hagia Sofia at all. The colors themselves are completely different. Hagia Sofia is reddish whereas the JP is brownish.
