Two quick blips today from Amazon: The LEGO Death Star set, once $300, is now $200. It’s a huge set, but not my favorite of the large sets. (I prefer either the Star Destroyer or the Millennium Falcon, as would any right thinker.)
More interesting is the “Buy two, get one free” sale on select LEGO sets, including lots of Mindstorms sensors and the like.
After seeing it here, I broke down and bought the $500 Millenium Falcoln. It took me 3 weeks of free time to assemble. When complete, it was 3′ x 2′ and ~25 pounds – and very cool! I’ve already started dissasembly and have kept everything in good condition so it can go up on eBay. I knew I wouldn’t keep it as I have nowhere to display such a thing but I wanted the fun of putting it together once. Joel, you can have first dibs before I offer it to the eBay gods.
Oh man. How much do you want for it?
