IMO, Overthinking things is possibly the reason we have money to invest in awesome Lego:)

I care about that stuff. You have to remove the art from the artist. Otherwise there is not much to enjoy out there if you dig deep enough.

Just managed to check out 1 from Target .... so keep trying

Bespin set is live at LEGO Shop at Home. Limit 3. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/bespin-duel-75294

Can we please stop with that? Avoid diving further into political opinions on this thread? General question asking if the backlash will affect investment potential of the Harry Potter sets doesn't bother me

If target won’t ban you BP should. 5 yard penalty excessive bragging.

I just like to think anyone who cares about that stuff doesn't have time to read or build LEGO.

Thanks for all the packing material, Amazon!

In for more at Target. No limit on my end apparently. What's the worst they can do? Give me my money back?

I wonder how managed payments is going to function with our drop shippers who love changing addresses within PayPal. Does this finally break their BS buyer protection?

So you’re the reason they poofed so fast. LOL.

Thanks for the heads-up! By the time I got there the castle was OOS, but I'll settle for $89 lambos instead. I got one order in, then started another cart and when I got to checkout it was back to regular price. A few minutes later OOS. I'd be shocked if these ship but at least I have a horse in the race.

Oof

Ban hammer?

The Target listing keeps going in and out. I suspect, as they cancel multiple orders, they make more stock available. https://www.target.com/p/lego-star-wars-celebration-the-bespin-duel-75294/-/A-79783435

So did the Vader bust....however.....

At 1am when I was feeding the baby they weren't asking any questions.

Just woke up. #westcoastbestcoast Except for right now when there's no way I would've got this unless I stayed up all night. Edit: Apparently I forgot to check before I went to sleep. #epicfail.

Its up at Lego.com. Limit 3. Got my order in fairly easily...

Be careful, Zavvi states the following on their website: The products sold on the Website are not for re-sale or distribution. You are limited to a purchase of 5 items of any one product. We reserve the right to cancel orders and/or suspend accounts where we believe products are being ordered in breach of this provision.

I thought I was dreaming. Able to and 2 lambos, 3 defenders. 2 volvos before it reverted.

"Cleanup aisle 4!"

I made a script to enter each drawing 10 times... 😄 for each set of information I had available to use. Sadly tho, that doesn't help my odds very much because 10 entries is still just 10 in thousands. I entered into each drawing from the start.

I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over it from the perspective of Lego reseller. Every one of us is a complete a-hole in one way or another. The fact that she appears to be an a-hole of some variety when it comes to the trans community and was stupid enough to show that side of herself publicly does not, in any way, diminish the works that she produced...at least in my mind.

Are you joking? She just said the truth, only idiots with brainwashed heads could have a problem with it, and only double idiots will decide not to buy HP sets due this - maybe 0.01 % of potential customers.

48 left in stock at Scheels (AAT), 501 OOS. Limit 5 per order at B&N but can't find any stock numbers.

I think I woke up in the middle of the night when I was at Celebration Chicago to order a bunch of Vader Busts.

Amzn has been my #1 packing materials provider too

I hope it stays that way. Again, maybe I am overthinking this

People had mentioned doing Lego Mario Kart. Hot Wheels beat Lego to the punch. I'd still like to see something like this in Lego form. Partially because it'd call for minifigures https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/08/heres_another_look_at_hot_wheels_new_mario_kart_line

I'm definitely starting to wonder how limited these really are. LEGO Shop at Home at least shows sold out now, but still available from Target.

Received a shipped notification/s for Bespin Duel from Target

Past history https://www.ebay.com/itm/124308579922

Most think it was supposed to be the Comic Con or Celebration set which were generally limited in production runs (e.g. 5000 units.) Seeing past performance of those limited sets fuels speculation that this set will perform similarly. The big unknown is how many of these they will produce. If it is widely available, then the resale price will be driven down accordingly...

Picked up my 3 at 11:40 PM CST on Aug 26th from SAH. Also on the product page for bespin duel LEGO has this bullet point This construction set foradults is part of a collection of inspiring LEGO® building kits designed for you, the discerning hobbyist, as you look for your next creative DIY project. COME ONE! foradults, Where is the missing SPACE BAR! AGH!

Bespin Duel - what does your order status look like at S@H? I managed to place an order this morning. At the time I placed the order, it was showing in stock, and after my order was placed, it was showing as Sold Out. Checking my order status, I'm getting "Waiting for New Stock." Wonder Woman set from last weekend is also showing up as that (and I expect that to be true). Just curious if I might be stuck in a black hole, or if everyone is showing "Waiting for New Stock"

Thank you! I ordered my one off Target last night, but had trouble with LEGO Shop at Home interfacing with PayPal last night so I gave up there. Had the same trouble again this morning after your post so went with a credit card instead and it worked fine. But just after I got my order in, it shows up at sold out again. Thank you!

ITS LIVE AGAIN ON TARGET APP!

Got one thx

Thanks, I just retried and got 1 too

EU retiring list has been updated, many as predicted on stonewars and promobricks. More to come. https://www.lego.com/en-ch/categories/retiring-soon

Wonder Woman is a preorder. Bespin is an "available now" set. WW is selling on alternate platforms (WalMart, etc.) Bespin is not. WW is DC (meh) Comics. Bespin is Star Wars.

It's definitely required

Target.com SHIPT promo - buy a $99 SHIPT GC, get a $25 Target GC. SHIPT is Target's home delivery service ($99/year or $9.99/order). I wasn't able to pay with my Red Card or any credit card, only PayPal. Limit 6x$99/order. I'd imagine the best way to play it is to buy multiple SHIPT cards and use them all on 1 order so you're only charges $9.99 once. I got th SHIPT card code in an email an hour after I ordered, and the $25 GC took 3 hours. YMMV on a reseller flag for large quantities.

Bottle...

Lego are knocking it out of the park with their focus on the adult market. Long may it continue.

I made a small bet on these (6 pairs I think) and sold them for around $400 average. I should have bought all of those TRU combo boxes for $90-$120 way back when. Pound for pound those were better investment than UCS SSD.

Every spaceport needs a Cantina band member crudely slathered in silver

It's TRUE and somehow my 7 year old daughter is taking after her Dad, I woke up to find this...
