I had to ponder the same question. I don't really care for the set a whole lot myself (I think the Death Star II model is much more impressive), but just look at how popular the thing has been in its years of availability. I was able to justify it by noting that it's only about 11 cents per piece, which is a good deal, and that once this thing gets discontinued, it'll become worth triple what I paid. Heck, the quantity average price on BrickLink is already $600, and it's still in production!

For these reasons, I wish that the Super Star Destroyer was available right now. At $400, I'd snap that up without blinking (or eating for a month :???: ).

For anyone who is interested in the Fire Brigade - as of this morning (Sat. Oct. 22, 2011 - 8:51 AM EST) it's in stock again on the ToysRUs website...just ordered one.

And out of stock again - was to be expected :down: . They probably did inventory and found a few more of them sitting around.

Got 2 Star Wars Advent Calendars for $34.97 each at Toys R Us today. With tax added, it was $39.17. I also got 2 Mini Lighthouse sets instead of those glued magnets.

Still better deal at Zellers ($32.49 plus tax). But I guess with the lighthouses, it was comparable.

Ok, so I bought a Death Star and a couple other sets on Friday, when still it was available, not backordered.

Today I get an email saying that the other sets are good, but the Death Star is backordered.

What does Toysrus do in this cases? Do they usually end up cancelling your order, even if when I bought it it said crearly it was available???
