Save 20+% on 9496, 9499, 9500, 9516

Update 11:06am PST: Amazon has 9516 Jabba’s Palace marked down to $86.77.

Right now, Amazon has a pretty respectable discount on a handful of sets, all of at least 20%. If you caught 75005 Rancor Pit on the cheap last week, you can now pick up 9516 Jabba’s Palace for 23% off, $92.44.

Since 75020 Jabba’s Sail Barge has been confirmed for an fall release, you should pick up 9496 Desert Skiff and complete the the Tatooine scenes from Return of the Jedi. It’s still 32% off at $16.97.

The last two sets on sale are from Episode I and Expanded Universe. The Bongo Sub set, 9499 Gungan Sub, is discounted 21%, down to $55.03. 9500 Sith Fury-class Interceptor is also 21% off, down to $70.97.

And finally, even though it’s only 10% off, it’s still a good deal and was sold out during the holidays. Amazon has restocked on 10188 Death Star, charging you $358 even.

Amazon Discounts Some Stuff

Don’t like the new stuff? Still need to catch up? Looking for the old stuff on discount? Well this post is for you as Amazon has put some of the current wave of sets as well as some long-in-the-tooth exclusives on the discount rack. I’m kind of not surprised at the discounts we’re seeing for some of the current sets. With all the new themes and sets coming in, they’ve gotta make room somehow. Today, we’re seeing a few discounts that are worth mentioning, assuming, of course, that you didn’t break the bank/max out the credit cards/incite the wrath of your significant other already.

Walmart Discounts 10188 Death Star by 15%

Update: Amazon has now matched the price for 10188 Death Star.

Walmart blinks first as they are selling 10188 Death Star for only $339.97. That’s $60 off MSRP of $399.99, a 15% discount. Free shipping kicks in and you’ll be paying tax out the door. They haven’t yet, but expect Amazon to follow suit.

Thanks to Darren for sending it in.

Toys’R'Us Includes UCS Sets for BOGO 50%

Toys’R'Us finally included the big UCS sets in their Buy One Get One 50% off LEGO deal this week, and by big UCS sets, I mean 10188 Death Star, 10221 Super Star Destroyer, 10212 Imperial Shuttle, and 10225 R2-D2. 10225 R2-D2 is seeing a slight markup, $20 over MSRP. The other three are right at MSRP so you could see a potential savings of 25% if you pair two items of the same price.

Alternatively, if you live in a state where Amazon doesn’t charge sales tax, you should know that you might see a better deal buying 10221 Super Star Destroyer from there since it’s still priced at $319.99, a 20% discount. 10212 Imperial Shuttle is seeing a 19% discount, $50 off MSRP to ring up at $209.99. And 10225 R2D2? It’s seeing a 22% discount down to $139.97. 10188 Death Star? Still full price but that may change any day now.

Amazon Still Selling 10188 Death Star for $336

If you still haven’t picked up the 10188 Death Star set, Amazon still has a few left in stock as of this writing for $335.99. Walmart had it for $289.23 at some point but that sold out before I got there.

Walmart Discounts 10188 Death Star Further, Now $337

Update: Amazon has price matched the set.

I realize we already reported on 10188 being discounted at Walmart, but this deserves a second mention since it has been reduced further. 10188 Death Star is now $336.87, which is about 16% or so off of MSRP of $399, down from their already reduced price of $357.89.

Amazon has yet to price match. They usually do but that doesn’t seem to be the case this time around.

Update: Amazon has price matched the set.

[US] Big Sets Discounted at Walmart.com, Amazon.com

UCS SSD

Browsing through the Walmart.com inventory, they have a number of large discounts on the larger Star Wars sets, as well as various other $100+ items. Here are some notable deals:

>>10188 Death Star is $357.89 ($399.99 MSRP)

>>Modular Building Series is around $120 range ($149.99 MSRP), though most are sold out online.

>>10231 Shuttle Expedition is $78.27 ($99.99 MSRP)
>>10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper and 10219 Maersk Train are $99-100 (MSRP $119.99)

All of these qualify for $.99 Shipping or free Site-To-Store Shipping, though I’ve heard some troubling stories about Walmart’s shipping quality. Amazon.com has already price-matched some of these like 10231 Shuttle Expedition, 10224 Town Hall, and 10225 R2-D2, and they also qualify for Free Super Saver Shipping.

Amazon Discounts 10188 Death Star, 10221 SSD by 10%

Amazon chases down Toys’R'Us’s discount prices once again and offers 10188 Death Star at a 10% discount, down to $359.99. They are also offering a similar price break on 10221 Super Star Destroyer for $359.99. These sets typically don’t see much of a discount, if any at all, so picking it up from Amazon is definitely the way to go right now. Free shipping and no tax to most states including California, at least for the next 5 days, will net you an even bigger savings.

Thanks to ufjason for the tip.

LEGO Shop@Home Double VIP Points On Select Star Wars Sets

Double VIP Points - January 20-31

LEGO Shop@Home is offering to double your VIP point pleasure from now until the end of the month when you purchase one of the 3 Star Wars sets pictured above. I know some folks have started to wonder how much longer the 10188 Death Star will be around, so maybe this would be a good time to grab it up. I don’t imagine we’ll see any free shipping until at least Easter so it’s your call, though it does remind me that I still need pick up that V-wing (I only want it for the droid).

Target.com 10% off Coupon Today Only, Free Shipping

Target.com has a coupon code for 10% off that is good today only: C8MT7GZJ. The discount will stack with temporary mark downs on items, such as 10188 Death Star. It’s priced at $379, and with the 10% off code it drops down to $341.10. You also get free shipping so the only additional cost would be tax. They have some other sets temporarily marked down as well; check out their full LEGO catalog. Scratch that last statement; it only seems to work on certain items.
