For a long time, months, it has been in the $80 price range on Amazon... Just noticed it is up to $100, first time I've seen that.
It is FINALLY starting to get short on stock of the major resellers? I know it isn't back to retail yet, but could we see that by summer? Sheesh! :)
On topic, aside from the hangar, I think Home One is a nice set. I feel like the unpopularity of the set stems less from it being a 'bad' set outright and more from it being an interior, rather than a full Home One class MC80. I personally think doing either the Home One or Liberty class MC80s outside of the UCS line would be a mistake, though I suppose they did the much larger Star Destroyer as a minifigure set for 6211...
That's beside the point, though. This set has been discontinued for a while, and, at least in the US, the price seems to be on the rise... after a looooooong period of prices well below retail. Mon Mothma is also exclusive to this set... as is Crix Madine if you exclude the SDCC exclusive display set. I don't know what value these will add to the set long term, especially given the minor roles these characters played in the films, but look at freaking Greedo. I'd at least say keep an eye on it and pull the trigger if it looks like the price is starting to rise. If you really want it, anyway.
I do agree, an MC80 UCS would be sweet... how to do it without it looking ugly, is another matter...
How about a UCS Nebulon-B?
Speaking of... how on earth do I not have a UCS TIE Fighter yet? And will the lackluster (putting it nicely) sales of Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter prevent me from seeing a UCS A-Wing?
