Didn't see the Sandcrawler marked down, so I am waiting for double VIP to get that one. Ordered the UCS TIE Fighter for now.
was expecting more of the older sets to be marked down... pretty rough. now to decide on $75 worth of stuff... hard since i own most things
Okay, order done. Anakin's Custom Jedi Starfighter, 2 microfighters (marked down to 7.99) and another T-16. Dat sandperson figure. This put me a few cents over $75
Next month's minifig promo is much more to my liking. And it will be easy... since the new SW sets release June 1st.

Yeah, nothing worth while.
And just like last year, your cart has to be at least $75 worth of SW products for the promo fig. A couple years back you could just make a $75 order with at least one SW set to earn the promo.
But this is good for me, not tempted to spend money tonight.

Once again, USA is screwed with the sale. I know we get lower prices in general, but it still is annoying.
Well, hopefully the TIE comes quickly so I can build on a day off.

Two Star Wars orders placed - I'm actually having the UCS TIE shipped as I'm feeling under the weather currently, and would not be looking forward to a trip to the LEGO store.
Am sitting on a third, but the lack of discount is giving me pause. I might wait for another good promo to pick up the remaining 3 SW sets I need (Wookie Gunship, Geonosis Troopers and Senate Commando Troopers).

Yes, it has arm printing in addition to the printing present on last year's TIE Fighter Pilot.

I see! Hmm yeah so it is the same just with the arm printing. it is a nice touch though.
With the Boba Fett figure it was totally redone printing, but that was different because it arguably needed the update, whereas here the (fairly recent) previous printing was more than fine.
Okay, just something for me to file away
I like when these expensive sets have minifigures worth snagging as well as the builds themselves.I already got my order email from LEGO for the TIE, but I haven't received the one for my other SW sets. Have to keep an eye on them that they don't hold back the Yularen minifig from my second order.

Just got my email too. I have mon-wed off so hoping for it one of those days.
Lol. It's Lego. Why would it ship fast?

Cannot wait to see LEGO's version of the new TFA TIE Pilot, as well as all of the new Trooper variants and the
Chrome Trooper

It's all about the UCS for May 4th.

sigh...
That brontosaurus! UCS Dino set please!
Very disappointed in Star Wars sale. If the after market price is high on Admiral Yularen, then I'll feel much better. It's pretty much what I was expecting. Nothing that is selling very well (i.e. TIE Advance Prototype) wouldn't be on sale (or at best maybe 10% off).
My path down the Star Wars R.E.B.E.L.S. subtheme has begun...
My purchase:
Ezra’s Speeder Bike
TIE Advanced Prototype
T-16 Skyhopper

Am I blind or is there no sale on for the Aussie store?
It's nice how the Indominus Rex can actually put its hands in a more realistic theropod pose.

Got my order in and I may just pop to the Lego store and get the TIE.
That TIE looks gorgeous. Would need to dismantle my tower bridge to make space for it, but then I'd have the UCS TIE, X-Wing and Imoerial Shuttle all next to each other. now I've likely stopped collecting the modulars and have no space for them anyway since my son kicked them out of his room I think I could switch to USC SW spacecraft as a replacement, would only be a big investment once every couple of years.
Need to get my modulars sorted and up on brick link to build a UCS SW fund..

I'm glad I called my local shop yesterday - they only had 3 Red Fives so I've got one on hold for this afternoon.
What a lousy selection of sales.
On the plus side, it looks like you guys were right: You'll get Yularen from the S@H site as long as your $75 order includes one SW set. Too bad Santa's Workshop is still out of stock.

Yo, wth? I don't have an email yet, but the site shows a tracking number. That is nuts for them to already have stuff ready. And the TIE isn't sold out yet either. I guess Jan 1st was one of those crazy fluke days of nothing going right?
I would like to think that they upped their game to be more like other sites in getting stuff out fast.

So its just $75, including at least one SW set, yeah?
Hopefully they dont run out of stock just as I get home to order...

lego website is broken for me. Anytime I try to go to a second page of the Star Wars sets, or view all or change any parameters, it just kicks me back to the homepage.
The sales suck this year anyway. Looks like I'm not buying anything.

I guess Yularan ran out... Don't have him in my cart after checkout.
Do you have at least $75 in SW stuff in your cart?

It adds Yulara to the cart for me. Another site glitch by chance?
I had the same thing untill I added one more set (and he was still in my cart after I removed that extra set).

No, just realized only SW legos count towards the $75...
At least I got a piss in the wind's chance on the Tie Fighter lol. And some more Clone Troopers.

Yeah, I tried to reach 75$ by mixing SW sets with something else and it didn't work alas. I got a message that the minifig was added in my cart, but on the checkout page it's not there.
Oh well, I finally found a couple of sets which seems worth it so there it is (B-wings, mini AT-AT and shadow troopers pack).
I'll buy the AT-AT from Toys' R' Us with a $10 coupon, so I'll have my 2 pilots.PalaceBrother

Ah ok, I didn't check out so maybe you are right.
Picked up that odd looking round ship that comes with Chewie and the hail fire droid for the yularen and Red Five for the second.
They were completely sold out of Red Fives and don't know when they will get re stocked. Also interesting was the ONLY modulars were the restaurant and detective agency. This is a fairly well stocked store and they said they haven't gotten a Palace Cinema in ages.
Which store? I planned on building Pet Shop and then buying PC on the next round of double VIP.
My store won a national Lego sales contest last summer (together with five other stores), so I got a trip to London, paid for by Lego. We were there last weekend. Did a tourist-round, lots of shopping, lots of food, went to night-clubs, saw the Thriller musical (awesome!) and went to Legoland Windsor. Fun times! We have to win again next year - free trips are always good.

That May the 4th sale is totally lackluster to say the least. I am also not feeling the TIE Fighter either. I find the cockpit very blocky and the step thing just ruin the look for me, may be I will change my mind when I see it in person but I think I will pick up Slave 1, that is if they have it in stock.

Sherway Gardens. You definitely have time to get PC, I am sure it'll be available on S@H until at least the end of the year. I am just surprised it isn't as readily available on shelves. Could also be due to the fact that TLG has increased the number of sets they release so drastically.

I skipped the May the fourth deals this year. I still got my Lego fix though. I went to toys r us to look for raptor escape and they didn't have it. I got the flatiron building at Barnes and Noble with a coupon for $27. I stopped at Walmart on a whim and got 2x battle for ninjago city for $45 apiece and the Chima mammoth for $40.
