Jeff Mack Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Well here is some info for those of you in the UK region. I am not sure whether getting a week to make the purchases will make a difference, but I would like to win that prize Star Wars fans around the world are getting their lightsabers ready to celebrate Star Wars 1 Quote
waddamon Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Well if the US is this or better and ssd comes back into stock i will buy more ssd, more death star and mfi.ish my r2d2 inventory. I would say they are attempting to clear out what they have. Game on. Quote
inversion Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Wow, looks bankruptcy worthy. I am seriously considering breaking up my CHF savings. I will probably regret it later. 1 Quote
Milsey Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Excellent, I've been trying to find out which sets might be marked down. That looks like a decent selection with the possibility of more to be discounted. Thanks for the info Quote

exciter1 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Didn't you meet your quota on the SSD Now he's just like the rest of us, a sucker for a sale. Quote
waddamon Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Didn't you meet your quota on the SSD If we see good discounts I think I will add 5 more of each. I am only at 5 R2's and planned on getting 9 more on this sale for the minifig and to chew up VIP points. The good news is that it looks like target shipped my SSD in their original boxes. 2 per shipment. I have to say I think metal shelves are better if one will invest in exclusives. The weight is bowing my shelves. I may be throwing some shleving on craigslist soon. Quote
waddamon Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Now he's just like the rest of us, a sucker for a sale. I always think back to my 10179 screw up. It motivates me to think 5 years from now and say I did what needed to be done for the return. I know the reality in the "other" markets to get 30-50% per year growth. Pretty much does not happen without massive risk. Quote

I would say they are attempting to clear out what they have. Game on. I agree. It's EOL time. LOL. I'm surprised by the discounts of these bigger sets, but it's one of two things...either they learned from past experience and decided to discount the sets that people want or that they are clearing out old inventory and cleaning house. If you want these sets, I would not wait. These are great deals with the freebies. Quote

Ed Mack Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Wow, looks bankruptcy worthy. I agree. I have a feeling a few of these sets will not see the end of May. I'm trying to a priority list in my head of which to buy first. Quote
Ed Mack Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 As good as it will be for exclusives . Still hoping for a last minute surprise in the US Yes, for exclusives, this is about the best you will see, with the freebies as an extra bonus. I'm hoping the US deals will be as good as this. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Would it mean that Target and Walmart have to price-match, and TRU, if it has any in physical stores (I know TRU cares less about matching their online prices). And it certainly would be real nice if Amazon could price match R2D2 (unlikely they get SSDs back) - the no-tax would make it much better deal Quote

And it certainly would be real nice if Amazon could price match R2D2 (unlikely they get SSDs back) - the no-tax would make it much better deal Walmart is not price matching anything that isn't on a piece of paper from a store that is right beside it...at least in my experience.

zskid00 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 You guys do know this is for the UK and not confirmation the discounts will be the same in the U.S. right? Obviously there's a good chance it will happen here also, but exclusives have been discounted in the UK/Europe in the last year and not in the U.S. The B-Wing was the last time we got a nice exclusive discount in the U.S. IIRC.

Yes, presumably, the discounts in US would be even better (probably 20%?). And I am still thinking that Red Five could get b-wing treatment, assuming it is a slow seller. Quote
tractorboy Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Sweet, thanks for the info Jeff. Will definitely be topping up my SSD and R2-D2 quota. The Death Star is still cheaper in Smyths if I'm not mistaken, though the addition of the Revan figure might tip it the other way. Quote
binici Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 We can only hope that the US deals are remotely better, but we shall see... So much to buy, so little time! Quote

That is true. I was surprised by the discounts on the exclusives, so I will retire from the speculation game. Quote

johnwray Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Great. As if SSDs aren't taking up enough room in my garage. Maybe I can stack the boxes from floor to ceiling against one wall and paint them the same color as the interior. Wife might not notice that our garage's square footage shrank overnight. Ooh Quote
