TheDarkness

Well I just placed an order for some sets for my son's birthday, so we will see how it goes. I paid for express shipping on my last order, and they split it into two shipments, one went via ups and the other via Brokers express supposedly. Naturally UPS had a tracking number and arrived here efficiently, whilst the Brokers one still is in transit. The funny thing was they could have fit them all in the one box. Now just to wait and see when my sets actually arrive, I have my doubts they are expressed thats for sure.

Well that really sucks if they are starting to do that. How much was it for, and did you use a coupon?

Apparently the Millenium Falcon was up at BN briefly the other day, so something for us all to keep an eye out for!

From FBTB.net Barnes and Noble Coupon code: A4N4M4V 30% off online Lego (I assume just one item per order)

The effect is compounded here in Australia too due to the price we pay for Lego. As long as it can fund purchases every now and then would be the ideal mindset, at least initially

Except that Amazon.fr is no longer selling them (hopefully they restock), only another seller (like Bricklink) is selling. So no VAT removal, and high shipping price.

Hey we are just looking out for our own :)

Well it is possible, just bloody difficult, let alone trying to avoid shelfwear. I could probably only fit 4-6 Death Stars up the top of one of my cupboards, though I have three cupboard tops allocated to my Lego. It is dwindling a bit right now though, which is a good thing. BTW, if anyone has any standard SW Clones, Clone Pilots or Wolfpack Clones they want to offload, please let me know. I am checking over Bricklink, but of course if anyone here is willing to part with them, message me. Not sure, though you can purchase it internationally from Amazon.fr. It doesn't take long to arrive either!

At least it ain't my money he is running off with. Some people are going to be mighty bummed......

I've seen before people get feedback for a couple of items then not long after a slew of negatives for the same item. I hope people get their money back when this falls through

I wouldn't be suprised if one or two were legit but not the rest.

I log onto the site every few hours during the day. I have missed out on bargains before by not checking out the site often enough, so I think I learnt a lesson that way I am also reading more of the other forums on this site too, it is amazing how detailed somoe sections are, and with so many reviews popping up, I am always checking out something new

I agree with the others on how reasonable the price is. I will be acquiring

The tree looks awesome, and contrary to the others I love the design of the ground. Whilst simplistic, it is very effective for mine. Well done!

I procrastinated on my first one for awhile, I got it from K-Mart. The others I bought this year when the Aussie Dollar started jumping. Unfortunately I waited too long for the UCS Millenium Falcon and missed out. I was in Hawaii a couple of years ago and had a quick look, but I seriously regret not chasing it down. I could have bought it anywhere and had it overnight shipped to my hotel. At the time I thought it was a ridiculous amount of money to spend, now I would do it in a heartbeat. You learn these lessons too late sometimes, but, I definitely won't be missing out on the Executor

Yeah Don is pretty cool. If I cannot find a store to purchase from, I will be getting the Executor from him. Haha I have 4. Yet to open one, but I will one day. I resell some stuff when I feel like it, or give Lego sets out to family for gifts at birthdays or Christmas. I've got so many sets in the cupboard its ridiculous. I opened up a V-19 Torrent today to build with my kids (I still have 2 I think unopened) but they just wanted the parts to make their own stuff so it all just went into their big Lego box (after I removed the Clone Pilot for myself) I've been clearing some stuff out and putting in on eBay, but considering my latest purchases are outstripping what I offload, I am not freeing up much space. At least when I open the new sets I will makes them, or put the minifigs away for when I eventually have the space to make dioramas

From the looks it is because Amazon.fr sold out. The only Death Star there now is from a store seller I am assuming you are looking at Brickmania? It says those sets have creases/compressions on the boxes, but just check with him first. I have bought 3 Death Stars from him before, he is great to deal with.

I have four, purchased between $520 and $580. The Amazon.fr offer is an absolute bargain with that cheap shipping. Have you received yours?

Who has 200 Death Stars? Even the biggest stores I have seen on Bricklink haven't had that many, at least listed. If you think you can get your money back if it falls through, go for it. I'd rather pay the $450 odd or so from Amazon.fr and be guaranteed to get it, which is still much cheaper than the RRP

I also agree with this. I lost $280 on a purchase on ebay and $120 on Bricklink, Paypal simply saying they cannot take it any further because the seller did everything right. In both cases the sellers disappeared within a fortnight of Paypal closing the disputes, and a slew of negative feedback popped up for the two users. I won't trust it ever again, and it is why most of my purchases now are made with either stores, or I pay for trackable shipping.

Really? I had a shipping delay email yesterday, they sent only my ewok set first, so I was getting annoyed that I had paid for that shipping for one ewok set. An hour ago I got an email saying they had shipped. I even used the 30% off without being a Kids Club Member on that account

Awesome. BN shipped my podracer set

Yeah I certainly wouldn't trust that, particularly when most of their feedback comes from 1c items. Still, they have had 43 sales, so will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Simply stunning. Would love to have anywhere near that close to a complete minifig collection. Well done!

Thanks for the great review! I own an unopened 4483, and also have made a 10178. When they announced this release I couldn't understand why like many on here. However, I am a bit more tempted to get it after seeing this review, especially when I am trying to fight against the urges to own one if each!
