$50 bucks is about the right price for this. Still, I’d probably feel a little ripped off even at that price. But hey, I realize not everyone feels the same way about this set as I do. It’s a lightning deal and as I write this 50% are already claimed and only 22 minutes left, so act fast.
Thanks Nannan!
Did you miss out on the Amazon Gold Box deal the other day for 10212 Imperial Shuttle? While not as great as the $198 price tag from the deal, Amazon currently has the set on sale for $219, down from $259.99. Act quickly for Amazon’s pricing behavior as of late is erratic to say the least.
Amazon has discounted 10219 Maersk Train
Not much in the way of Cyber Monday LEGO deals worth mentioning. TRU has their week-long LEGO BOGO 50% sale (excludes Star Wars and Ninjago) and Shop@Home is still recovering from their Brick Friday sale (holiday gift set #2 no longer available; you still get 10% off $149 or more; free shipping on $49 or more; 25% off some stuff). But Amazon does have a nice sale price on the LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia
On another note, if you missed out on getting 10194 Emerald Night from Shop@Home during Brick Friday, Amazon still has it for $89.99

Amazon is selling 7498 Police Station for half off, priced at $50.49, down from MSRP of $99.99. The set contians 783 pieces. Seems like LEGO makes a Police Station set every year. When are they going to make a hospital already?
Thanks to hassmyster for the tip.
Amazon continues to slash the price of 21010 Robie House further. It is now down to $135.99 down from $199.99 for a savings percentage of 32%. Finally, a price drop I can get behind.
Update: I added the Toys’R'Us retailer exclusive below.
Cars 2 will be released in less than a week on Tuesday November 1. And since its the norm lately to offer highly anticipated releases in multiple formats, I thought I’d make a post on the different options available to you.
Amazon marked down a few LEGO Star Wars sets to price match against Toys’R'Us current Cyberweek deals. However, they don’t offer a free MINI Vulture Droid or a tankless Astronaught glued magnet, but they do offer free shipping and no tax to most states.

There’s a lot of reasons to hate George Lucas. He gave us Jar Jar Binks, tweaks to the Star Wars movies, midichlorians, etc. The problem is, we keep throwing money at him. At its core, it’s a love-hate thing really and there’s a DVD being released today exploring and maybe even celebrating that twisted relationship we have with Mr. Lucas. Below is the filmmakers’ excerpt about the documentary:
They gave him their love, their money and their online parodies. He gave them…the prequels. The passion the original STAR WARS trilogy inspires in its fans is unparalleled; but when it comes to George Lucas himself, many have found their ardor has cooled into a complicated love-hate relationship. This hilarious, heartfelt documentary delves deep into Lucas’s cultural legacy. Utilizing interviews taken from over 600 hours of footage, and peppered with extraordinary STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES re-creations lovingly immortalized in song, needlepoint, Lego, claymation, puppets and papier-mâché, above all this film asks the question: who truly owns that galaxy far, far away—the man who created it, or the fans who worship it?
The DVD also has some notable extras such as an interview with Gary Kurtz, producer of Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, and another feature called The People vs. Star Wars 3D. You can learn more about the film from the website: PeoplevsGeorge.com
The current price for the DVD is going for $20.99. If the extras don’t interest you, you can purchase a digital copy from Amazon
