thetamp Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I love the Planet Sets, I'm one away from completing series 3 #75006 Jedi Starfighter & Kamino. They are cheap, easy to build, and display really well. I wish 2014 would bring us series 5,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetamp Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I can't wait, I agree, series 4 looks the best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tormentalous Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 For those who collect the Star Wars Planets sets, it looks like it'll get a little more expensive to get the Series 4 sets as they won't be sold here in the US. Thoughts? The second wave of 2013 LSW planets are no longer launching in the US. They will be available in other global countries, however. As you know, some markets carry slightly different collections depending on their market dynamics, so the strategic decision was made not to launch them in the US. http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-star-wars-planets-series-4-not-sold-in-united-states/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Of course the best series so far wouldn't be available here. What's that, strike 4 against TLG this week? I'm getting annoyed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Really? Are sales not good here on them? Maybe this makes them better investments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Really? Are sales not good here on them? Maybe this makes them better investments. I see a lot of series 3 still sitting on store shelves, so I guess sales aren't great. Better than no sales at all though. I really want that series 4 Tantive. Do you think TLG will mind if I buy it from a reseller? LMFAO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvail8 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I could understand if they weren't going to send them out to regular retail stores, but why not even sell them on their own site? Dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jal4u2c Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Oh boy! More "exclusive-ness" like at comic-con! Now even the regular sets will be released in limited areas to keep "collectability" up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Take that US! Can't win them all. With that in mind, any Lego collectors in Canada interested in trading or helping a fellow collector round up the last series send me a pm!

comicblast Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Really? Are sales not good here on them? Let me ponder that for a second. Ok, well think of a big number. I just thought of 99. Now imagine those sets in a retail store. Got it? OK. Now imagine how many are left. I'm guessing around half are sold, while the other half are clearanced once...then clearanced again...and again, until they're scooped up. On eBay, the planet sets of Series 1 have barely gone up to MSRP, a sign of over supply. A bit bummed at this, but I doubt I'll try to pick a set up from an international source. This is a great chance for international BrickPicker members once Brick Classifeds comes up. (wink, wink) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blocktator Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I am very disappointed. My kids love these sets! Bad move, Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTX Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 With Series 1 still languishing on shelves here, I guess I can understand their choice. However, seems like they could have made these available still through online orders or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't like this everywhere though - none of the planet sets made it to clearance in my area except 1 series 3 - the jedi ship. All the others sold well.

Darth_Raichu Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 You know the series is not well received when TRU is selling them at discounted $8 and noone is touching them in months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 omg, pay canadian prices? though trading sounds interesting. Take that US! Can't win them all.
