@Astrobricks Roseville Target has #75177 First Order Heavy Scout Walker for $21.68, #75201 First Order AT-ST for $27.98.

Thanks, but crap! I was just over that way last night. I’ve been waiting for 75177 to drop to a reasonable price. I guess it’s off to brickseek!

Brickseek said Richfield had #75177 for $15 yesterday but they were gone today. I did get one at Knollwood this afternoon where they were $21.68 and they had about 5 left.

Forgot the exact numbers but the Elmhurst, Queens Target had these:

#75177 $21.68
#75201 $19.xx
#75197 $10.xx
#75207 $7.xx

Is 75201 that bad?? I think I saw well over 10 just sitting in the Clearance rack at Target today. When usually sets disappear around me as soon as they hit the 50% off mark.

I know a lot of people consider it to be a contender for the worst LEGO System set ever released, period.  I don't know it it's THAT bad... but it's not good.  Not good at all.

It's not as bad as #75199. The build is horrible for a set its price. People only give it a pass due to the minifigs included.

I am very close to just buckling down and getting set #75199. I’ve disliked it for so long but really want the minifigs. I will feel shame if I buy it regardless!

There's no good end to your predicament. You either bought a set for minifigs that have a high chance of being reproduced (although potentially in a larger set(s)) or you just spent $30 on a set that has a 20 cent price per piece ratio.

You can also build the set in 15 minutes, which is another big strike against it.

Pricing aside, I just think the build is BAD. Not only will it take 15 minutes to build, but the proportions are just wacky and it just looks cheap. I honestly wouldn’t display it. That fact that it barely has any relevance in the Star Wars universe be doesn’t help its case, either.

If you can get 75199 for really cheap, I’d say go for it. Otherwise, I’d just Bricklink Mace and Grievous.

thebrickfan.com reporting that the Endgame #76125 Hall of Armor, and the #76124 War Machine Buster are 20% off right now.

bpk2300

^wow, actually tempted for the hall of armor at that price

For 20% off I bought at least one for myself. IMO an OK deal for something I wanted to purchase for myself

jedijason1138

The Hall of Armor is totally worth the full price, but the 20% off makes it an immediate purchase. I got one and love it. I'll buy a second one down the road to add some other armors and change it up a little.

Astrobricks

Anyone seen any sign of the Darth Vader bust yet?

BrickByBrick

should be coming out on april 11

KingAlanI

various sets 20% off

#41368 might be nice for my LEGO music collection, #41363 for camping sets, #41367 for a horse fan cousin, but might wait for further discounts

MegtheCat

Visited a store today which actually had all of the new sets out. The Star Wars sets were all on an end cap, along with all 3 polybags ( #30383 , #30384 & #30461 ).

77ncaachamps

Saw #75201 (First Order AT-ST) clearanced at 50% off.

Target’s in my area still aren’t putting new sets out on shelves. They had the Hall of Armor #76125 in the back but on the price scanner it rang up as $59.99, even though online it’s $47.99. I didn’t have time to ask them to price match. Guess I’ll buy it online.

I've noticed this price issue a lot at my local store. And damned if the app doesn't show the in store price the second you connect to their wifi. Obviously they're clever enough to know the pricing online could be better and they don't want you price matching as easily!

Just FYI, if you buy the discounted Endgame sets on the Target website, it's free shipping (for over $35), and you are allowed to pay with your Target Redcard and get 5 more percent off! I ordered Hall of Armor and "Hulkbuster War Machine" this morning at 25% off!

If my math's correct, it's actually 24%.  They take 5% off of the 20% off price.

Yeah, sadly the discounts aren't additive.  I wish they were though.  Still not a terrible deal.

Promo code REDCARD until April 6! But online only with red card. I’m wondering if they’ll let me get a price adjustment on a purchase from a day ago.

Yup.  And they got caught with essentially a deceptive practice.  Just be sure to turn of location services in your app or use Target.com when in the store checking prices.  And yes, I often find the price scans higher in store than what you find online.  I found a 30% price difference on a set this week scanned in store than what was online.  They will price match their online price though.  However, if I recall you have to check out and pay.  Then take your receipt to customer service to get the refund.

The fine print says the extra 5% is excluded for LEGO sets unfortunately.

SeijiAmasawa

Boo!!

Target hasn’t  matched Walmart’s set
prices yet for TLM2 except Benny’s squad set @ $8.49, yes a penny more but with redcard discount a nice deal.

just saw that amazon had these at this price a week ago, lol
guess I’ll just ask @madforLEGO where all the deals are before posting!  Ugh, RIF

Cardboard brick arch over end of LEGO aisls
20th anniversary SW sets on shelves. Saw nothing else new and no sales

Pyrobug

Anyone have any idea when the Darth Vader bust will go live? I checked right at midnight and kept checking until passing out at about 4:30 and still nothing.

gmonkey76

Couldn't find online or dpci number on brickseek. Went to a store and not out on shelves. There was a guy in the LEGO isle doing a rest. Asked him but nothing came up in the system.

Pyrobug

I'm not sure but I think it will only be available online.

autolycus

Yeah, because it is reportedly a RedCard exclusive, I cannot imagine them having it in store. That would be a nightmare trying to explain to someone that they cannot buy the product that they are holding in their hands at a register.

gmonkey76

I know it's a Red Card exclusive, but looking on line to see if I could find more info about it some sites said it would be in stores. I wanted to cover all the bases.

autolycus

It would certainly be nice to hear something from Target itself.

Pyrobug

Someone on Reddit said the celebration doesn't start until 1 pm Central Time so it might not show up until then.

JBricks27

I think it’s going online tomorrow, not today

Poor guy must’ve been plum tuckered out :)

Pyrobug

^^What makes you say that?

gmonkey76

^Because of rest and not reset

Pyrobug

I was replying to @BobaFett27 about the set being released tomorrow.

tefarrel

According to thread I found about it on Reddit, the last time they did an exclusive it was released at 2PM EST

This would coincide with SW Celebration starting at 1PM CST

LegoTT

Hoping my WiFi on this flight I’m on is still working at 2 EST!

LegoTT

Ugh- I have 15,000 feet left before they turn the WiFi off. Headed in for landing. Still no bust!

autolycus

I think you're going to be fine for today. I'm guessing the release is tomorrow along with the other limited exclusives from other brands like Funko.

Evidently so. Airline will assume they had someone trolling Target’s website if they see the number of times I refreshed the site and app!

From Reddit:

I just got off the phone with target customer support - the set WILL be released, without any doubt, today on 4/11 sometime before the end of the day.
