^^ The GE never dropped in price? Very curious. It was difficult for me to keep up with what was available at what price. I figured the GE was at $111 and I just missed it. What, if anything, might that mean? It could mean most anything, but I lean toward it meaning Amazon didn't have as many in stock as the other sets. And, if so, that is very interesting. More FB's than GE's? Someone posted that they believed the FB had an additional run because of the batch that had missing parts. Also, I wonder if resellers focused on the FB and bought a lot more of them than the GE which caused a false demand? And, in turn caused LEGO to over supply? Which, continuing the thought, will there be more FB's in supply than GE's after both sets go EOL? And, what if they EOL at the same time? :-) I, for one, would not be surprised if the GE went EOL shortly after the FB did. Wouldn't even surprise me if they EOL'd together.
Course, I tend to over think things at times. Only LEGO knows!
FB has now had multiple runs since 39R1, I have at least three new batch numbers since 39R1.
FB should have EOLed last year, if it followed the same pattern as CC and GG. Clearly Lego decided to extend this another year. If it goes a 4th year, ouch! :)
Since 10188 and 10193 have been out 4 years, nothing stops FB from being out 4 years either. But boy that would be a lot of modulars out at the same time.
Which means, there is perhaps a 50/50 chance FB lasts another year.

Thanks, Brian
I got 3 shipments yesterday, 2 were in boxes and in decent shape, 3rd one was shipped without a box and I didn't take it. The walmart guy was nice and opened the boxes on the spot so I could check the sets.
It takes about 2-3 days to get to the store and you have 2 weeks to pick it up.

Well TECHNICALLY it was limited... it eventually ended its run.
That is why I never put much stock into 'limited edition' on the Box unless a box says of
Hope Amazon matches
I just did this for GE and PS. I doubt they would discount GE because it is out of stock currently, but one can hope? :)

Walmart has the discount now. As for battered boxes, if you do site to store shipping you can return unwanted order right after you pick it up.
In my case, Walmart adds a 7% taxes, while [email protected] only adds 2.9%. I can understand that under some factors 9proximity of a LEGO store, taxes, etc) that can be a saving than more of a few bucks.
