    8092: Luke's Landspeeder
    Star Wars/Episode IV-VI, 2010
    More details...
    ©2010 LEGO Group

    Luke's Landspeeder is now on shelves in Walmarts across the country for approximately $24.97 USD.

    If you're having a hard time finding post-Christmas sales, don't worry, we all are.  Most places seem to already be cleared out with 2010 sets showing up, which means there might not be very many sales on leftover 2009 items.  We'll keep you posted on anything we find.

    For now, check your local Toys R Us for a $79.99 sale on the Mon Calamari Home One Cruiser.

YES! I'll have to go to Wal Mart sometime soon.

Nice can't wait to get my hands on the Luke's Landspeeder set.

I picked one up by chance at a local walmart a couple days before xmas. I went back to this Walmart because they had put out the Snow Trooper battle packs a few days prior. Well... they were completely out of the snowtrooper packs but had all the other 2010 on the shelves.

They only had 2 of the Landspeeders and one of them was a completely empty but still sealed box. Guess which one I bought?

I also noticed the ARC-170 Starfighter and the Tie Defender at my WalMart. Both cool sets!

Posted by Wagnerml2 in United States, 26 Dec 2009 23:11

Is Luke's Landspeeder a WalMart exclusive? I picked up all the other new 2010 SW sets at Toys R Us today. They had no Landpeeders.

I'm planning on getting the ARC and Landspeeder. Are both of these available in USA Walmarts? TRUs? Thanks!

Posted by danjc in United States, 27 Dec 2009 01:53

I know the ARC 170 is available at TRU's in the USA, haven't seen the Landspeeder yet.

At the Downtown Disney Lego Store in California, there were very few sets on sale, only Duplo, really. Last year at this time there were many great sets at fantastic sale prices.

A bunch of the 2010 sets were available, but the coolest was a small display of some of the Toy Story three-eyed alien minifigs. Not for sale yet.

Posted by THX 1138 in United States, 27 Dec 2009 11:12

If only the landspeeder wasn't a Wal-Mart exclusive. I went to a TRU and a Target last night, and they both barely had any Lego, and the only 2010 stuff they had was some Atlantis at Target and some Atlantis and Toy Story and TRU. No SW stuff at all...

has anyone seen the land speeder in canada yet?

Posted by jkool in United States, 27 Dec 2009 15:44

THX1138, I feel your pain. I've been to half a dozen stores with nearly empty Lego aisles. It's sad and depressing compared to all the wonderful sales (that I mostly missed out on) last year.

I'm going to try to take advantage of any sales at the Florida DT Disney store, but I'm not certain if there'll be any, from what danlevy says. And anyone complaining about their Wal-marts not having 2010 sets, at least you don't live near me. I have the most sluggish Wal-mart in the world, and I'll probably have to wait until February for them to have anything.

Posted by The Green Brick Giant in United States, 27 Dec 2009 16:54

I never thought I'd see the day when a Landspeeder was $25

Posted by legofanatic2414 in United States, 27 Dec 2009 16:56

OOOh, Obi-wan Kenobi! Hmm, but when I usually go to my Wal-mart they usually have REALLY old sets like pre-2009! Itd be a miracle if my Wal-mart got any NEW LEGO'S. I'll go check tomorrow .18000pieces I know what it feels like to not have a Wal-mart that has the new 2010 sets, for those I have to go ALL the way to a Toys R Us and that store is far!

LEGOFANATIC2414 OUT!

havent seen the landspeeder yet at my local walmart. is it a walmart exclusive? and any ideas on the price?

Posted by MisterFubar in United States, 27 Dec 2009 17:15

It is a Walmart exclusive and my local stores are selling it for $24.xx.

Posted by bmwlego in United States, 27 Dec 2009 22:44

Targets by me have the City Sports Car 8402 for $6.98, the Power Miners Stone Chopper 8956 for $4.18.
Funny that right after the holidays we are still out looking for LEGO!

Posted by GameOn99 in United States, 27 Dec 2009 23:28

TONS of 2009/2008 sets on clearence at Target, I got the Arial defence unit for myself for about $30 off. You guys should check it out.

bmwlego: not really, I am not surprised that we are using our gift cards, checks and christmas cash on the new things not a week later when they will hit world-wide in a week. I like it.

The post-christmas sale finally begins in the USA.

http://shop.lego.com/SalesAndDeals/Default.aspx?va=1

However many good sets are now out of stock.........

And why would they put items that are out of stock a long time ago on sale?

Posted by michaelvader in United States, 28 Dec 2009 05:58

Posted by michaelvader in United States, 28 Dec 2009 06:06

Posted by donneyboy in United States, 28 Dec 2009 16:05

yes!!!! after I read this, I went to my wal-mart, and they had this set. I picked up about 4 of them, it is a really great set.

Posted by arctrooper170 in United States, 28 Dec 2009 20:35

I hope my Wal-Mart gets it sone they were going to unpack some Legos tonight so maybe new Landspeeder for me. @donneyboy how can you get about 4 landspeeders???and why 4???

Posted by rainstorm26 in United States, 29 Dec 2009 00:02

I picked up two yesterday at Walmart (only two left - they were kind of hidden) and the Lego isle was massively mixed up, but they did have a lot of new stuff (toy story, atlantis, etc). I expect this set will sell out rapidly.

Posted by nerfman in United States, 29 Dec 2009 02:10

I picked up the last Landspeeder at my walmart today. It is a great set, I recommend it.

Posted by bioniclemastermind in United States, 31 Dec 2009 19:26

Picked up the Home one two days ago at Toys r us. It is really worth it for $80.

Posted by Unknown User2596 in United States, 31 Dec 2009 21:58

Today I saw 7213 Fire Truck and Boat at Target (Westgate) for $40. (388 pieces) It had the 'Special Edition' logo (the same one this year's Target Exclusives have) so it may imply that it is a Target exclusive.

Posted by arctrooper170 in United States, 01 Jan 2010 01:12

The sets 8091 Republic Swamp Speeder and 8092 Luke's Landspeeder are now on Lego.com, click the link on this website to view them faster.

Posted by alpha 40 in United States, 01 Jan 2010 14:55

I checked out toys r us two weeks ago and the freeco speeder and two battlepacks. Target has no lego at all 2009 or 2010(exept one bionicle set)When I went to a walmart two days ago they had no 2010 sets. When I went to another walmart they had all 2010 SW except the landspeeder.

arctrooper170: thanks, I think i will put in an order but the landspeeder is on backorder
