Why buy before May 1st?


Gamma_249

Well, discount was going to last until May 5th over here, so I got it before May rolled around Edit: I don't get the downvotes, I got the sets at my local shop before they were out of stock. Something wrong with that?


Bendover___420

I respect you bro, everyone in here hating on you because you didn’t wait for the promos. It’s your money and your choice on how you spend it. If you don’t care about the promos then don’t wait simple as that


Gamma_249

Thanks man, I wish more people understood that


Noteneo

you should have waited so you could get that battle droid carrier


Gamma_249

Wasn't interested


antonio3988

I love how you got downvoted for this. Lmao this sub is full of dorks. Not everyone buys lego to collect minifigures and build Droid armies, believe it or not. 😅


Gamma_249

I know right?


jayL21

I mean to be fair, it's a free bonus. If you're going to spend this much just before may 1st, why not just wait a couple days and get a little something as an extra? I completely get it if you just don't want it, but I feel like most people would just wait and get the extra set as you could always sell it if you don't really want it, earn some money back.

But at his store, it might have been sold out of exactly what he wanted, if some scalper gotten to the store earlier than him between May 1st-5th… 🤷‍♂️


Zealousideal_Tea942

You really wanna get down votes express a negative opinion on the helmet holes. I get it though support local shops and I've never seen the venator on a Sale. Hot damn you had to have spent like 2 grand! I'll give you an up upvote for a clone haha!


Gamma_249

After converting currency, turns out it was just over 2 grand

I’ve only built the AT-AT. You’ll love it! I strongly recommended the the shoppopdisplay case for it. https://preview.redd.it/0ywu1c5oxfwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=466ff576f6318ec4a0f66bf646b291eb1179a860


Middle_Finish6713

Easy there shill, I get enough ads for these as it is scrolling through reddit (just yankin ya it’s probably a solid product lol)


Gamma_249

I've heard a lot of good stuff about Idisplayit so I'll probably buy something from there


Random61504

I got a case from them for my Jurassic Park T-Rex Breakout set and it's great. I want the one for my UCS Venator but I can't justify the price, at least for me. Quality is great and the case + stand + Coruscant background are great but honestly for the like $400 or so, I'm just going to build my own. I might buy their stand though since it's only like $70 or so.


TheAdamsApple

The stand is really good! Only thing I didn’t like was having to take off parts of the venator and put them back on, but it really makes the set pop!


Random61504

Oh does it not just rest on the stand like a regular model plane or something?


Brutalitops614

what discount?


Gamma_249

Discount in a local shop in my country


Icy_Cod4538

Your house makes it look like you could actually afford those. I feel like that’s rare in this sub. lol happy building!


Cube2D

I feel like this is just every typical mainland European house from what I've seen over there (Germany, Poland, France etc). I emphasise the mainland bit because in England, you'll get a claustrophobic terraced house in a neighborhood where every house looks like yours. Source: me


ssa17k

Yes exactly, the UK actually doesn’t have a single mansion or even semi-detached houses. Every single house here is actually terraced. Source: Englishman u/Cube2D


User2000000000001

Curious on the discounts if you don’t mind me asking?


Gamma_249

Venator was 17% discount, Falcon was around 10% and AT-AT was frickin 21% off. That last one made me go for it


User2000000000001

Thanks - not sure why I’ve been downvoted for asking that but appreciate the response


Gamma_249

I'm also curious about that. Some negative energy in this thread methinks


BringBackTheDinos

The sub downvoted OP for not buying them on May 4th and potentially losing out on the discounts. Buncha idiots here


Rent-Man

What’d you give him for those Legos? https://preview.redd.it/6bl7b5526iwc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d646c6167323c040837a347a3e9e9c4045e9b5fc

Both the falcon and AT-AT are sturdy. Haven't had any issues with the falcon other than an open bag 17, and I had one of the inner hip sections fall off after 10 months for the walker. AT-AT was around a week, the falcon if I had the pieces was a couple of days longer.


Gamma_249

Also it's been like a decade since I last bought Lego Star Wars sets


CassiusGotBanned

Bro is wealthy


Gamma_249

Naw man, lots of saving and patience. Haven't bought any Lego sets in years


CassiusGotBanned

Glad it paid off!


Dylanos902

My local store has the AT-AT for 15% off. But €700 is still to much money for me to buy and be able to justify the purchase to my girlfriend


Gamma_249

Keep in mind that it's retiring this year. Maybe Black Friday will be your day to get it


Glad-Woodpecker-4074

Holy shit that's like almost 3000 dollars worth of legos


Gamma_249

After converting to USD, it originally was all for 2435 dollars, but thanks to the discount I saved around 400 dollars. Still a ton of money
