If it's TooS at LEGO Shop at Home Germany, it's also TooS at LEGO Shop at Home France, UK, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Italy... So next time, just say: TooS (or Call to Check, or Sold Out, or Retired) at LEGO LEGO Shop at Home Europe. I thought SaH UK can show different status sometimes. I was wrong than. Thanks Haay! 1 Quote

I'v got one here on display at work and enjoy playing around with it, its very versatile. I love how you can box it up so it's all closed and can be driven around or open the marketplace and start selling droids to the local farmers from Tatooine. I also have one for the personal collection and will build it up when I get tired of the Slave I and MKII. This one won't be around for too long. It's a fantastic set with 3000+ pieces and somehow it doesn't get the attention it deserves. However things will change once it disappears! It's almost the same piece count as 10221, but £100 less...so it's quite a bargain. Don't judge by piece count. It is full of technic pins.... it is a great set, but making comparisons like this is not too legit. By the way it is only Out of Stock now. If DS retires this would be the current flagship of SW, so retirement of both of these at the same time I think is quite unlikely. But who knows. Edited December 16, 2015 by inversion Quote
jaisonline Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Newer folks should review my build post about this set. The set includes tons of technic and larger plates which are prob more expensive to make than common bricks like 2x2s. I'm a big fan of 10144 but 75059 blows it away in every way. In my opinion, the only improvement by Lego could have been adding capes to the Jawas. Quote

In my opinion, the only improvement by Lego could have been adding capes to the Jawas. This set is way better than the previous one. Yes, I would prefer capes and more greebles on the rear instead of the stickers. But piece wise... look at SOH. Price is lower and less pieces, still weighs 20% more than this one. I just like to remind folks that piece count is a bad metric. Edited December 16, 2015 by inversion Quote
Brenner Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I watched Episode 4 last night, big smile on my face when the SandCrawler kicked in. What an epic vehicle! For some it is just a big brown box but I really like it! I 'm considering to buy a second set.... 1 Quote
Popular Post Calli Posted January 28, 2016 Popular Post Posted January 28, 2016 I got one for my birthday 2 weeks ago and finished it within a week. It was a very nice build and is an absolute eye catcher if put on display despite the fact it's not coming with the UCS badge. I might buy a couple as an investment in the following months. 12 Quote

Just grabbed one from WM - http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Star-Wars-Sandcrawler-Play-Set/34976659. It looks like those come w/the UCS badge...Do you know if there's a difference (which I doubt, besides packaging)? Just curious... Great looking SC btw. Quote

I think the PP set is an EU kit as it doesn't have the piece count. No difference in the build. 1 Quote
pete411 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Loooove this set. I buy my builders from AWD. Managed to pick up SC and Slave 1 for a 20% discount. I think you convinced me to build the crawler first! 39 minutes ago, Calli said: I got one for my birthday 2 weeks ago and finished it within a week.

Deanfjr Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I have a local guy trying to sell a used complete SC for $270, I tried to get him to go down to $200 and he said no lower than $225.00. I am not jumping out of my seat for it at that price, but I am contemplating. anyone want to chime in? It is on my buy list, just wasn't planning on it popping up so soon... Quote

So, 25% off AND no tax isn't enough of a reason for you to buy an exclusive that you want for your collection? Quote

You didn't specify that you wanted a new one for your collection and in that case, you can simply ignore used listings from a collection standpoint. However, most builders will immediately purchase the Sandcrawler at $225. Quote

So why are you asking us about a used one if you're after a new one? And if you are interested in a used one, it's a simple question for yourself isn't it? Is it worth that to YOU? Why does it matter what we think? 4 Quote

Been looking on there for a SC but dont want to check every so often. Quote

dcdfan Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 For those thinking this is going away, in addition to Lego & Walmart having stock, it's back in stock at Amazon... Quote
jeff_14 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Just bought the previous version used and complete off Craigslist for $220 CDN. Figured the seller was upgrading to the newer one. I may get it as well and then race these bad boys. Quote
midbenne Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) I recall seeing that a bunch of BPers got this in Nov of 2014 when amazon ran a deal where it was $200...Not looking for a crystal ball reading but thinking that during double points might be the best time to get this for at least some sort of discount....I have so far ordered 2 from walmart.com and BOTH have come shipped in no box besides the box for the set itself...SMH, what a bunch of garbage...then the store literally cut the seals, opened up the inside package and just destroyed the rest of it...it was hard to watch but I am still sans SC...(for now) EDIT: SORRY THAT WAS FOR EV! My fault....NM! Question would still apply. Edited February 8, 2016 by midbenne Quote
Pedilego Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I bought this and Mos Eisley Cantina (for the speeder, Dewback, and moisturizer). It was used w/o stickers applied ($250) so the pieces were sorted by color, and I had limited space to spread the pieces out so finding brown bricks was a huge pain, and the treads would be pretty tedious regardless, but in spite of that I still enjoyed myself and really like the finished build. What was the peak price for the original, before rumors of the UCS version even started? Seems like a relevant question for the potential of this set. I mean it looks a lot better but a couple of my friends have been like "What is it?" so the demand for an-already-$300-set definitely won't the same as a lot of other Star Wars sets. Quote

This is why I have one for me and none for investment... yet. Maybe I'll change my mind, but the time-to-sale to double my investment on a $300 set is a lot longer than other opportunities. The Sandcrawler would have to hit $750 to even consider selling to double that initial capital, and I have to be realistic about my resources, this set's demand, and the bottom line. Quote

I remember selling several used versions of the old Sandcrawler for around $290 each before the new one was announced. That's pretty much double MSRP Used, so you can bet New was selling for much more. Quote
