dakotahorn Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Do you think it will hold til tomorrow? I want to have Target price match and get an additional 5% off. Quote
Rich B Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Do you think it will hold til tomorrow? I want to have Target price match and get an additional 5% off. Probably, but you never really know with Amazon pricing. It is very unpredictable and all over the place in my opinion. Jabba's Palace has been heavily discounted over the past month or so, and I would imagine it will be at this or around this price tomorrow as well. Quote
chess227 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Do you think it will hold til tomorrow? I want to have Target price match and get an additional 5% off. It's essentially a $3.75 cent gamble. Target has it for $87.99 this week, so even if it isn't, it only cost you $3.75 for not jumping on it. Honestly, Amazon has been so terrible about packing my items safely here lately, I would almost rather spend more money just so I can pick out a good box in store and know it won't get here damaged.

Seifer Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Jabba's Palace is an interesting set in my opinion. After the problems with the muslims saying it resembles their monuments (Ayasofya isn't muslim btw since it was built by Byzantine Empire in 360 AD) I thought the Lego company was going to retire it which would make it's value skyrocket since it wasn't that long on the market. This was a possible scenario that didn't happen... Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 So tempted to pick up a few of these. Not a huge star wars fan and not overly familiar with the lego sets in this category, but this seems like it will be a winner later on and this seems like a great price.... ugh.. decisions decisions...I get it that you aren't a SW fan.........but if you are a fan of making $$$$$$$ then you should pick a few up!

chess227 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I get it that you aren't a SW fan.........but if you are a fan of making $$$$$$$ then you should pick a few up! Lol thanks Stephen. I quickly came to my senses last night and grabbed the limit of 2. I figure this set is iconic enough that it will be a winner. Quote
sadowsk1 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Right now it's my gold box deal at 28% off...such a good deal. I'm going to have to sit and think about this. I have one extra, I just don't want to have Home One repeat. Quote

True. Although I will defenitely get a couple of these, every penny counts. Target Red Card for the win. Quote
glucapg Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 And it won't ship to Australia First item in awhile that they won't ship here Not politically correct Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Won't ship to Canada either.... Not a happy commonwealth subject here... =P Quote
dunkers97 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Simple question, do you guys/gals think that this set will EOL anytime soon? If not, when do you think it will? Want to know if I have time to save up and buy one, NOT... for retail price mind you, probably get it on Amazon. Quote
legopocalypse Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I think you have plenty of time, prob at least until 2014. It's been heavily discounted on Amazon several times in the $80-$90 range, so I wouldn't pay more than that. Quote
thomcat00 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Wal-Mart has a price reduction on it to $95 here in central NY. They often drop prices as they shift inventory. Doesn't mean the kit is going into retirement, but slower movers don't get restocked onto the retailers' shelves as the newer sets become available. Quote
TheDarkness Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Probably just the big retailers culling back their stock but worth keeping an eye on. Quote

I saw it on Amazon for $85 and thats what I was thinking about paying, wouldn't go higher than that. Quote
Rich B Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 This set will be available at least through 2013 probably, maybe longer...... Quote
Veegs Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I think it will be a pretty hot seller around the holidays. If we're lucky it could be scarce to find on shelves and out of stock online, and people who bought it for $85 could make a couple of quick flips at Christmas. I'm pretty confident it will come back into stock after the holidays, and you can replenish for the actual EOL. If I could, I would sell the few I have for profit in Nov./Dec. and be ready to reload next Feb./Mar. Quote
comicblast Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I can picture this set being out at least until mid 2014. Came out fairly recently, so you have plenty of time, I think, to grab one. I would probably pick up a Ghost Train, as it will probably be gone soon. Quote
