Stop using ppp. Weight is far more important. If you think the Falcon was priced fair and this set isn't... that's wrong. Both are a fair value if you think the Falcon was priced right at 800 bucks. That being said: I think BOTH are WAY overpriced. It's plastic, not gold.

Star Wars Tax aside, we have seen many large sets in the "10 cents per piece" price range. Of course costs can be driven up by high amounts of minifigs, new molds, or "large plate" parts....but given what we now know about this UCS ISD, I would have expected (wished?) for $499.99. At $700 this will rot on shelves after the holidays. Even my Lego Star Wars obsessed coworker is not going to get this on day-1. My big question is "when will the UCS MILF retire"?

Not sure I understand the "Buy Box Eligibility". I frequently have the Buy Box on LEGO listings with my personal account. I have seen comments like this on Seller forums, and I thought it meant you get Buy Box on listings for your own products (i.e. where there is no competition because the products are items you make). UPDATE: Just pulled the trigger on moving to a Professional plan. After confirming my Credit Card details, picking the "Toys & Games" category, and giving an indication of my listing volume, I had to do a txt-message verification and was immediately approved. Account shows Professional and all my listings are still active. I now have access to Tax Settings as well (no settings there when you are on an Individual plan).

Seconded. I never contribute to sales discussions on here but feel compelled to comment here. FYI - I portfolio invest and have no 20+ unit positions & therefore my experience may not represent yours... I sold off all my "big set" inventory - EEE, HH, EV, Tumblers, GE, TH, PS, GC plus some one-off big sets like SSD and SOH [and a bunch of mea culpa Orthanc and Death Star losses] - over the last 2 years. All FBA. My returns have been on the smaller <$100 minifig-centric sets I sold, never on the big ones with the big exceptions being a MF and a few $$ 1st series Friends sets. Against total sales volume my losses have occurred at amazing breakage % (< 1%). YMMV

Just amazed that out of all things they can include to the description like the turrets, they decided to make sure you know that the two officers will have blaster pistol also. Also comes with 2 blaster pistol weapons.

Hello $120 (FBA).....this set is killin' it! I was holding for $120....but $150 is not out of the question by Christmas.....

this set makes me want to buy the MF even more ...don't get me wrong, Like any good imperial trooper I love me some great big grey cheese wedges, but side by side...the MF is so much better in every way 'cept for monochrome

Sorry...No The STAR WARS theme has a few sets that do well occasionally. Overall, it's one of the worst themes to invest your money in. What was once the "Gold Standard" of LEGO investing has turned into a wretched wasteland of sets, especially the Ultimate Collector Series. I love the sets, but they are constantly remade and until Disney is out of the picture, this theme stinks.

not a fan of seeing the yellow and red technic pieces in the back view. Will swap that out for lbg

i have sold through all my Ewok Villages Minecraft Villages, GE, Town hall haunted house in last year. all FBA. knock on wood i have had zero scams on any of these large high value sets. i wouldn't even think about selling any large sets FBM because i'm a lazy pos and i like to get top fba dollar. plus every amazon scam begins with selling fbm. only stupid or desperate scammers are going to try and scam an expensive package that has been verfiably shipped out of an amazon warehouse. in my experience, if you are going to sell large sets fba, you have to imagine yourself as the customer and cater to that experience. u spend a ton of dough for an overpriced lego, you don't want a mangled smooshed box. at a minimum, you have to pre-package the set in its own separate new clean properly sized outer box to ensure that it doesn't get crushed by aggressive shipping personnel. and so that if it does gets sent back to FBA, its well protected. this requires more work and labeling and shipping material cost which you will make up on the back end by making sure to price higher than the fbm'ers to collect that premium. i put fba stickers on the set in the box and also on the outer box i send it in just in case returning customer sends it back without my perfectly set up protective outer box. i have not lost any sets to returns doing this. i have had 3 returns in the last 6 months selling large fba and all 3 were resellable w/o me having them recalled. unlike vast majority of sub $80 set returns which are just outright minifigure rip offs. maybe i'm just lucky or lazy and lucky. it's working. most people buying big sets on amazon fba are not scammers but people who believe that fba prime tagged products are somehow more legit or superior than those 3p fbm. i know its crap. thats just how people think. if its prime it must be better. at least that's what we are told to chant at the underground Jeff fan club meetings.

Friends is horrible. Office is actually pretty good. Real or not much of it would not float in today's climate. I think lego will pass for this reason. I personally don't take offense to anything in the show.

Go buy a bunch and keep us posted...lol.

Anyone else get this email??
