May the 4th LEGO Shop@Home Deals: 10227 B-wing Starfighter 50% off

[Staff]

Below is the list of LEGO Star Wars items on sale at LEGO Shop@Home for May 4th and 5th. I would assume that the sale starts sometime tonight, like may 9pm Pacific/12midnight Eastern. The only really notable item for sale would be 10227 B-wing Starfighter at a whopping 50% off. The last UCS set to hit this kind of sale price early on its lifetime was 10215 Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter and we all know how bad that set sucked. The B-wing isn't nearly as terrible as that set but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the canopy piece that is common to both sets is cursed. Price of 10227 is $99.99 and you get the following bonuses with every Shop@Home order that qualifies for the next two days:

- FREE Delivery on all orders of $50 or more.
- FREE Exclusive Han Solo minifigure with LEGO Star Wars™ orders of $75 or more (while supplies last).
- FREE limited edition Star Wars™ Yoda poster with all orders (while supplies last).

Most everything else is 10% off unless you've been saving up and waiting for a good time to load up on keychains. Now would be that time as they are 20% off.

Also, as a reminder, in case it hasn't been drilled into you by now, though not on sale, 10240 Red Five X-wing Starfighter goes on sale tomorrow. Price for that seet is $199 with free shipping, free Han Solo exclusive, and free Yoda Chronicles poster.

These deals are good for both US and CA customers. Enjoy:

Wow, if this turns out to be true, and Lego doesn't also update the AU price (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/cli ... hter-10227), I'm gonna be livid. They really treat us terribly over here. The B Wing is AUD 350 vs. USD 200, and 1 AUD > 1 USD !!!! It's just mind-numbing. They legitimately claim that shipping is one of the major causes of the price different (they don't have AU warehouses), but I can single-handedly order from US store to a US address, and then pay the common-man shipping price (no corporate discounts) to ship it again from the US to Australia and STILL save a bundle. Why, Lego? Why?

[Zrath]

I always felt that the UCS B-Wing was a $150 set that got mispriced at $200.
I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow: hitting the Glendale Lego Store and getting one of these for half-price.

[DarthBuilder]

To B-Wing or two B-Wing? That is my question.

[wyldjedi]

The B-Wing currently shows as sold out and now way to place it on backorder. I assume that will change... I hope

[jomandybri]

Ughh that sucks, not on sale in Australia... still $350! What a joke Would any amazing forum member actually consider getting me one if I paid for it to be shipped to Aus? *hopes like crazy* I'll put something in the B/S/T forum.

[Andi]

ah, so that 50% B-Wing is US only... There were rumours it would be in Germany as well..

[Howeesp]

TRU USA $100. Hurry

[SDIronClaw]

I was able to order one before they sold out, advantages of being in the Afghanistan Time Zone. I thought about ordering two, but one it enough for me. I was rather surprised they sold out that fast. TLG should have restricted it to 1 per so more people could get them. At this point you have two options...either the Lego Store, or TRU since they price matched it.

[wyldjedi]

The B-Wing at TRU is in store only. Not sure about the rest of you, but mine never carries big ticket Lego items like that

[SDIronClaw]

[scandell]

The reviews on this set are absolutely awful. It falls apart at the slightest touch. I wouldn't be too sad if you missed out on this sale.

[lowlead]

[onions]

it's back in stock on backorder status

Even if you hate the model, it's almost 1500 pieces of gray plastic goodness for $99, plus an exclusive minifig. No brainer if you have the funds for it.

With the exception of the b-wing, kinda disapointed with this sale. :/
