zskid00 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Revan is still a better deal than double VIP points on R2-D2, UCS X-Wing, Ewok Village, and Sandcrawler since you can easily net $20-22 after fees on ebay. It might be even more if he goes out of stock quickly. Quote
trekgate502 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if they "release" a couple of sets every so often into their system to give everyone some chance, and not just those that are online now. Just wait a bit and refresh often. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE. I think this happened with the B Wing? Any one else remember? 1 Quote
BrickLegacy Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Anyone stashing an Ewok Village away with this promotion? Quote
legoman12323123 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 congratz to you for getting the malovelant .. too quick for me Quote
geometer Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Anyone seeing cancels coming with free ravens lol? I would be happy either way .. I rather have the sets I purchased tho I got backordered status on my Skiffs already. I wonder what the chances are of actually filling that backorder. I assume they aren't actually producing this set anymore. Quote
Quacs Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Wow. Someone give this guy a prize for extremely fast fingers! (Or perhaps, careful planning). Congrats! He probably had six devices/computers set up before hand. Hit "order" six times after seeing the promo go live, and there you go... EDIT - possibly even six windows open on his desktop instead. 1 Quote

naf Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Wow. Someone give this guy a prize for extremely fast fingers! (Or perhaps, careful planning). Congrats! This is Bold's setup on sale days.... he's a professional people. 3 Quote
brickinfinite Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 This may be one of the rare occasions that I may just buy the Darth Revan minifigure from the secondary market Quote
ColumbiaComics Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Ended up with 5 skiffs, 1 malevolence and 9 vizsla's. And 3 Revans... A few posters too...didn't realize the malevolence would sell out so fast or would have grabbed more. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 I ABSOLUTELY AGREE. I think this happened with the B Wing? Any one else remember? Yes. I was not investing at the time much yet. This was my first big purchase. I bought 3 like halfway through the day when they randomly came back in stock. Quote
Jeff Mack Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 Anyone seeing cancels coming with free ravens lol? I would be happy either way .. I rather have the sets I purchased tho I hope not, that would be pretty sad and could have negative consequences for future promotions. 1 Quote

I assume they aren't actually producing this set anymore. Me too, everything else is clear, but I bet they come up with more of the Skiff's to fill all backorders. Quote

Ed Mack Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 LOL. I just woke up. What did I miss? Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker 2 Quote
trekgate502 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Yes. I was not investing at the time much yet. This was my first big purchase. I bought 3 like halfway through the day when they randomly came back in stock. As I work in the print & fulfillment industry, I can tell you that fulfillment centers have virtual warehouse #'s in their system, and they can have bin locations with so many Malevolence's in a bin in warehouse #1, and then have a warehouse #2, #3, etc that is off limits from being available, like restricted warehouses, and they may have had 500 Malevolence's in warehouse #1, with 5,000 more in warehouse #2. Then they are going to wait till like 9-11am and move some, not all between bins & warehouses (without actually moving the stock). Then it will come & go again. This way they hope (and though I want mine, rightfully so) that the average mom, dad & kid can try to get one during the day as opposed to the 12:00:00 caffeine drinkers we are. Quote
legoman12323123 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 I hope not, that would be pretty sad and could have negative consequences for future promotions. I agree I want my 50% of legos! Look what happened with the MM polybags they aint worth shiz Quote
zskid00 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 $20-$22 after fees? And your source? Sold listings on ebay for $26-29 each, many without free shipping offered. This is a good promo figure, unlike the blue Hoth Han from last year. Quote
dubels Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Ahaha all the sale items are gone and now the R2s are out of stock from people looking to get Darth Revan. Quote

You still think the price will hold once the US starts flooding the market with these? Quote
@rtisan Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Grrrr, Backorder status on Desert Skiff as well. Fingers crossed! Quote
California92563 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Luckily my order for the malovence and pre vizsla went through but oddly enough I dont see a revan figure for my separate sand crawler order.... Oh Well I'm just thankful I got those sets and one revan minifig for sure Quote
zskid00 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 You still think the price will hold once the US starts flooding the market with these? Typically these promo minifigures don't hold their value, so that's why you should sell them now as soon as your order is placed. Quote
