It's just way too expensive. Great set otherwise.

Posted by Batmaniam in Canada, 23 Mar 2009 11:51

Wow, this set looks awesome. It is just so cool. But a little expensive. I guess that I had better start saving up.

Posted by doctordark in United States, 23 Mar 2009 12:02

This looks really cool but really expensive, better start saving up

Posted by BioFreak877 in United States, 23 Mar 2009 15:09

See, I have all of my family in the UK so I have like 135 pounds, so I may exchange to get this set!

Posted by zero0 in United States, 23 Mar 2009 15:18

FINALLY THEY HAVE IT! CANT WAIT TO GET IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY!

Posted by Exo-ForceFan in N/A, 23 Mar 2009 15:37

Wow that looks SUH-WEET! It is so expensive though. $350.00.

Posted by Smallsam99 in United States, 23 Mar 2009 16:15

Too expensive! I gonna get the mon calamari instead because I'm tight on money.

Posted by ngclarkiv in United States, 23 Mar 2009 16:42

Eh.. Think I'm gonna sit this one out. Hopefully it pulls off a Twilight and people don't buy it so it goes 50% off!

Posted by jango48119 in United States, 23 Mar 2009 18:11

Maybe an interesting b-day present.

Posted by keithkram in United Kingdom, 23 Mar 2009 18:40

Have ordered a couple through your link, so hopefully you get a benefit from this, had placed another order earlier today and it was not available, i should have waited and saved some postage. Keep up the good work of your top web site.

Posted by Exo-brick in United States, 23 Mar 2009 18:57

Nice. Too expensive.

Posted by LTfan1996 in United States, 23 Mar 2009 19:18

It's a cool set, but $250 for a bunch of plastic? I'm going to skip on this one. Maybe if they reduce the price by $ 100, but I have better ways to spend my money

Posted by hustla187 in United States, 23 Mar 2009 19:20

250 dollars for this? If it was 125, I would probably get it.

Posted by captain radda radda in United States, 23 Mar 2009 20:07

Personally, I think its awesome, but 250 is obscene. I'll just wait a year to when it drops to 150. ;)

Posted by The Green Brick Giant in United States, 23 Mar 2009 20:47

Yeah for $250 there should be a dozen more minifigures.

Posted by cody516 in United States, 23 Mar 2009 21:19

getting it at the lego store at lego land this summer cant wait

Posted by Brickman193 in Australia, 23 Mar 2009 22:09

I wouldn't buy it. It looks ugly, and comes with only clone troopers.

You're better off saving for the Home One later this year, or the Battle of Endor set later this year.

Posted by iabstract in United States, 24 Mar 2009 00:47

I too think this set looks great, but is way over-priced. For $200 I'd do it, even though that's still over-priced. But $250? Ouch.

edit:
Now that I know that using the Lego shop portals on the home page helps this site, I'll be doing all my shopping using that link.

Posted by shenron in Finland, 24 Mar 2009 01:54

What sense does it make to bundle these 2 large sets into one? They are clearly 2 separate models...

Posted by guybrush threepwood in United States, 24 Mar 2009 10:26

"$250? We could almost buy our own ship with that!"

Posted by dragon_teenager in United States, 24 Mar 2009 11:04

This is the only Star Wars set I've been interested in for some time, but after some thought I decided not to buy it. $250 is ridiculous, and I don't like it THAT much.

Posted by train_nut in United Arab Emirates, 24 Mar 2009 11:54

not buying seems to be the sentiment. so let's all of us brick setters unite and do just that!
hopefully by us doing that lego will lower their price.

Posted by shenron in Finland, 24 Mar 2009 12:08

LEGO prices are not flexible, they don't just change depending on how many people buy a set :) They are mostly based on the production costs, not the demand (which instead has an effect on how many copies of a set are produced). However, it will probably be on sale from S@H for 2/3 or even 1/2 its price just before its discontinuation, sometime in a couple of years, you just need to wait and be quick at grabbing the few last copies.

The set is expensive because it's huge. In my opinion it's just very odd that they put 2 large models together. They would have made perfect sense in separate boxes, maybe 125$ each. People who wanted both would have bought both, and people who wanted only one would have bought just that one. But now, probably most of the people who want only one would not buy the set at all.

Imagine if they put both the deluxe cargo train (good) and the passenger train (bad) in the same package... But also two good sets together, for example Green Grocer + Cafe Corner = 300$. Fantastic sets both, but spending 300$ at once doesn't just feel right for some customers.

Posted by Morgan19 in United States, 24 Mar 2009 12:16

>>What sense does it make to bundle these 2 large sets into one? They are clearly 2 separate models...

Except they're not, they combine together: the gunship can pick up and airlift the ground walker. It makes sense that they're packaged together because of that.

Posted by copperwonder96 in United States, 24 Mar 2009 14:54

Reluctantly, I went ahead and bought one today.

I suspect a short run of these because high priced lego sets like this are priced high because of the economies of scale meaning they don't manufacture enough to sell at a low enough price to cover the production cost. They raise the price and keep the run short, plus there is the cost of license fees to Lucas.

Don't expect a discount, it will be a collector's item. (remember the Giant Chess Set).

Get it in 09' if you can

Posted by southpaw in United States, 24 Mar 2009 15:29

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too expensive. I have to wait for it to go on sale! :(

Posted by halfpenguinhalflego in United Kingdom, 24 Mar 2009 16:12

Man i want it but i just can't afford it, but it IS worth the price.

Posted by Targellian in United Kingdom, 24 Mar 2009 20:28

I'd have packaged them seperately... the dropship is supposed to also be compatible with the 7675 AT-TE, and I'd guess would sell for people who want that combo, but not the AT-OT (which I think looks too 'mini-fig' and not 'Star Wars' enough)

Posted by 18000pieces in United States, 24 Mar 2009 20:29

I really don't see much potential for playability in such a huge set, and that is one of the most important factors for me. It comes with no Seperatist forces (since it's at least $50 overpriced, the could have at least thrown in a spider droid and those troops that come with the hailfire droid set), and it looks bulky yet fragile, something my cats would destroy. I also think that it is supremely tacky that the AT-OT doesn't have a roof, and these vehicles can't play too huge a role in any SW story (any that I will acknowledge the existence of, anyway. SWCW does not exist in my universe).

If I had $250, I would spend it at LEGO, but not on this set. Probably I would spend it on SPIII and Indiana Jones.

Edit: okay, I lied. I would save 100 dollars for the endor playset.

Posted by zoekenzx in Mexico, 24 Mar 2009 22:34

wow this set looks awesome specially for the drop ship, the only bad thing is that im pretty sure that is gona be kind of overpriced.

Posted by captain radda radda in United States, 24 Mar 2009 22:38

I agree, this set was flashed in ep III, but not emphasized. The dropship was in the Clone Wars movie but it was a different color. The playabitily seems lacking. It doesn't look like a minifig set to me. Lego should either slash the price on this sucker or place it as a toys r us exclusive for 150. I doubt this set will sell as much as suspected.

Posted by Johnnus in Australia, 25 Mar 2009 06:43

I WILL get it (notice the word 'will')

Posted by skipp in Netherlands, 25 Mar 2009 11:13

@18000pieces

The AT-OT is a star wars vehicle, not from the clone wars though. And if you're going to complain about the high price, just don't bother. We don't want to know what you'd spend 250$ on. Post something that'll be useful for use.

Posted by iabstract in United States, 25 Mar 2009 12:55

@1800pieces:
The new Star Destroyer set and the Mon Calmari Cruiser might also be worth saving up for.

Posted by halfpenguinhalflego in United Kingdom, 25 Mar 2009 16:42

Int the star wars universe the AT-OT doesn't have a roof!

Posted by Captin Rex in United States, 25 Mar 2009 17:21

Does any one have this? Please answer.

Posted by keithkram in United Kingdom, 25 Mar 2009 17:33

I have ordered 2 and should get them on friday

Posted by Loganwan in United States, 25 Mar 2009 19:35

Can't wait to get this one. I actually DO believe that money grows on trees, and have subsequently planted pennies in the back yard to pay for this stinkin' LEGO habit of mine. Until then, I have been scrapping together some cash just for this set. It is going to be huge and beautiful, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. It will be Wizard!!! HAHA!! Oh Anakin, you silly little bowl-haircut blond boy.

Posted by Gus263 in Brazil, 26 Mar 2009 05:50

This set is awesome. But expensive. I already got the Medieval Market Village, and now they came with this? I need save money. And maybe I will only get a set from UK next year, so I hope this still in S@H for 2010, as it is very hard to appear an exclusive being sold in my country (and even harder to appear an exclusive that costs $249,99).

Posted by wadaltmon in United States, 26 Mar 2009 10:14

It'll probably go on sale in July, or December... I can't know which, but it will be a LOT less expensive.

Posted by Kulturkampf in United States, 26 Mar 2009 11:26

With everyone that wants this set but thinks it's too expensive, they would probably sell more if they lowered it to $200, a more reasonable price.

Posted by southpaw in United States, 26 Mar 2009 11:35

I know this is off topic but did anyone in the US get the garbage truck brickmaster set yet? I think my subscription expireed and I really don't want to miss a set! Please post a comment to let me know!

Thanks-
southpaw

Posted by tylox15 in United States, 26 Mar 2009 12:06

I really really want this set also. I can afford it , but like everyone else I feel it is over priced. Hopefully it does not move very well and they will lower the price?

I am in USA Southpaw, we got the Brickmaster garbarge truck about 2 weeks ago.

Posted by WedgeAntilles in United States, 26 Mar 2009 13:58

i think they should have put the two models separate. If the LAAT works with the AT-OT and the AT-TE, they would do a bit better separating the two ships.

Posted by LastStand in Canada, 27 Mar 2009 00:15

I'm sorry to say this. But I think its a bit too popular considering its overprice.
Right now, Its a top seller at number 7 for Canada and number 21 for USA....

They usually don't have sales on items that sell in their top sellers.

Posted by goengar in United States, 27 Mar 2009 11:08

they said it was now coming out April 29!!!!!!!!!!! wat's that about!!!???

Posted by keithkram in United Kingdom, 27 Mar 2009 12:16

It seems to me that everyone complains about the prices of all lego sets, lets face it, none of them are cheap,. But moaning about them being expensive is not going to change the price, after all Lego needs to make a profit or else they will not be in business. I got my 10195 today, and its worth every hard earned penny (or cent for the Americans).

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 27 Mar 2009 12:28

Received mine today, just in time for my birthday on Sunday :-)

Hopefully I'll get to open and start building it later!

Posted by iabstract in United States, 27 Mar 2009 13:18

@keithkram:
we have pennies here, too. :)

I normally don't have much of a problem with the price of Lego sets, but the Star Wars ones seem disproportionate compared to their other sets (usually it's about $10 per 100 pieces in the US), but I would guess that's because of the SW license. This one in particular seems a bit out of whack with that, but I also remember balking at the 5000 piece Falcon too because of the price, but it was also worth every penny/cent. :)

@Huw:
Happy birthday mate.

Posted by skipp in Netherlands, 27 Mar 2009 13:43

Alright! I ordered mine today, and I can't wait. But the orders going to take 5-6 days.....5-6 very long days.

Posted by Yoda 56 in United States, 27 Mar 2009 18:43

I want this set really bad! The problem is, its too expensive! =(
