Thanks for the heads up, ordered one and got the free Mandaolrian Fighter polybag as well (and TRU points). Would have preferred to order from Lego direct for VIP points and Han but wasn't prepared to stay up past midnight last night to order one.

Thanks, I grabbed one from TRU too. In the past, most of the boxes come pretty beat up but for 99.99 you cant go wrong.

Quick question on this promotion... Typically, once an item is in your cart at the online lego store and you get the confirmation mail... Is it a done deal? I mean when I look at my order directly on the website it says the item is "backordered". Does that mean it's sold out on the site but I'll be getting mine? Question is, would the site let you buy something even if it is sold out? I hope not...

Ok, must sleep! I was kind of bumming that I'd be missing out on the Hoth Han so I went ahead and bought the Rancor Pit and AT-RT. Was gonna get them anyway but was hoping for cheaper down the line on them eventually but I figured the Hoth Han will be $15-20 so there's my discount on them. :razz: Maybe should of ordered Palpatine's Arrest instead since it's an exclusive to TRU mainly... anyone think that Palpatine's Arrest will ever be lower than $89.99? Not really a set I see myself buying to be honest tho...

One thing for sure, I will laugh at those that tries to flip this and expect a big profit like say next week?
They just have to wait a week and flip it for $125 and still make a 25% profit. Easy to undercut the MSRP for a while and still make money on it.
There would be about $15 in fees and also shipping cost factored in. Everyone might want to wait for it to be back up to at least $200 before selling.

SquareSide, in the past, with various sales and coupons, I was able to pick up Palpatines Arrest for under $80. You just have to watch for the right combo of sales and coupons from TRU, and be ready to buy when that happens.

Those of you that missed it online, hope you manage to get one this morning in-store. After ordering one last night right at 12am, I was tempted to go in-store this morning right when it opened to grab a set in-store, just in case for whatever reason Lego says "sorry, we took too many orders and we ran outta stock so we can't ship you one". But ended up being too lazy :razz: . I trust that ordering right at 12am means I was able to get my order in on time.

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.

I managed to order a B-wing, but it's the first time I order from the Lego store. Is there any risk that the order might be cancelled?

I think I've only got all my UCS sets on-sale, only way I would buy them. The first one I ever got and got me back in Lego was the Vader's Tie Advanced that Lego S@H was clearing for like 30% off I think. The Millenium Falcon UCS I only got after that infamous price error 3 years ago. Obi-Wan's Starfighter I got for like 75% off Canadian retail when it was selling for 50% one week and then I got 50% off of that because of a heavily damaged box. The R2-D2 was 20-30% off buying from someone else.

EDIT: If you are Canadian, and you want Palpatine's Arrest, ignore it from Lego S@H and buy it from TRU. Last week's 40% off of that set is still on for whatever reason on the TRU website

If you're shooting for this and couldn't get it from Lego.com or TRU, start calling Lego stores. You won't get free shipping, but I called two stores and they said they had "tons" of them and will ship. They're including the mini fig and poster too. Shipping was around $11, but well worth it for the deal.

LEGO.com now lets you add it to the bag. Says it will ship MAY 16th, and you get your bonus poster/Han solo.

Great! I just ordered one from LEGO to get the freebies. Tried to cancel my TRU order, but it is already too late to cancel! So now i will have to return to the store. Hope they don't make it a hassle!

Thanks for the update!

Nice. I wanted the Superman Sets so even though the promos say free with any Star Wars Purchases I figured I would give it a shot. Called my Lego store and they said no dice.

However, S@H I put the three Superman Kits in the cart and it added the Han to my order.

So I placed two orders on Star Wars Day. Spent Under 200 Bucks and got the following

- B-Wing
- All three superman sets
- 2 Han Solo Figures.

Liking the promos and sales today for sure.
