SkaForHire Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Hey everyone, This may only apply to Americans, but I went online to see what the Lego shop had for Black Friday. The Imperial Flagship is listed at 139 and the POTC battle back was slashed in half at 8 (ish) dollars. I just ebayed a relatively cheap Imperial Flagship (not that cheap, but about ten dollars more) So I was kicking myself for that. But I did grab a couple battle packs. Also, over 49 dollars and it is free shipping, over 99 you get a Christmas set, and over 149 you get a further 10% off. Not bad. I just couldn't justify hitting the 149 mark... Even though I did get Emerald Night to go around my Christmas tree this year. I just couldn't justify a fourth IF! Hope this deal helps some of you!
eliminator Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Although I haven't bought a Lego Pirates related set in years (since I'm more into trains/city) I couldn't resist the deal on the Imperial Flagship. I got 25% off + 10% off, plus holiday set 2/2, free shipping and some VIP points. It should look nice set up next to my BSB and CC. Will the Flagship be discontinued this year?

SkaForHire Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 I think it will be. I believe its completing its second year in the next few months. It is a nice ship. I bought at 12am last night, and they goofed up my order. I didn't seem to get VIP points! They did readjust it so I got the proper free shipping.
Piranha Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 aw man sold out already?? usually it would say back orders accepted. is it discontinued already? or is this another Black Friday ploy to hold out the good stuff for only a select few who are first and next week it will be back in stock? huge disappointment

Maybe you can still find one at a Lego store if you live next to one. The online Lego shop doesnt really play those "we're out of stock, but not really" sales. If it says out of stock, it probably is out of stock...

You could always try calling and seeing if they still have one. I tried that yesterday after it was listed as sold out online and was able to get one. Not sure if any are left now, but it couldn't hurt to try.
UsernameMDM Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Disappointed to see the IFS sold out. Hopefully, I can snag one at the Lego store this weekend.
SkaForHire Posted November 29, 2011 Author Posted November 29, 2011 Moving to the Buy/sell/trade forum. You know that doesn't really make sense, since this is a pirate specific topic? As in it was about pirate Lego on sale, and then had discussion about pirates and where to find them. It would be much more useful in the pirates forum as that is where pirates people go first. This thread really doesn't have a general audience... The point is moot since the thread is dead, but I don't understand why the mods are always so keen on moving threads when often they are in the right place to begin with. If a thread is about a specific theme it should stay in that forum, even if it is about buying...
