That Mini Cooper! They never went on sale on LEGO website, and for a long time I thought that was the only place where you can get one.

I bought it from walmart for 20% off and then returned it since it's not really MF scale.

I do seem to recall it on sale for like 50% at TRU, though. Don't remember when and the DeLorean is in the shop.

Obviously personal preference applies, if it's a set you want it's getting pretty close to hot.

Myself, I don't buy any Nexo Sets unless close to 50% off, they've just been so heavily clearenced and they're not my favourite sets. My Jestros Lair set I paid $75 at Walmart and still was hesitant.

I can understand it may not be to everyone''s liking but one of the worst sets? Man.....
Personally I like it, and I cant wait to get it and stick minifigures all over it.....

'WOW. This is a first. What a way to 'celebrate' my 300th post. A code that ACTUALLY works with Lego on the BAY,

Jestro's Lair hasn't been 50% off at TRU, not online at least. It HAS been 50% off Walmart, and maybe a second time or phantom stock, but both times I have missed it as ..literally...if I am asleep the regular time they do clearance stuff they'll put it up and if I'm not..they'll either abstain OR change that time. I seriously should post my sleeping times daily so you guys can check Walmart for 20% chance of 1/2 price clearance.

I was pondering whacking it on to my imaginary Sears order if they do $70 off $200 again. However...just not so sure about it. Im thinking of retired sets instead that are still MSRP or less in the wilds......

However your maths seems fine. I wondered recently; does ebates kick in for the total amount you get dinged for or the pre tax amount?

The tie fighter went back to 229! It's in my cart when I went back up. Luckily I could still process it with the discounted price.......luckily or not.

Hmm, I am debating whether to get this used at $200 or new at TRU ($240). Decisions, decisions.

I would prefer a used one. But it is hard to find someone selling their used 42043 with a reasonable price. I waited months to get mine with $200

Speaking just for myself I find the large Star Wars singular brickfests a little bland. For me, they are simply models that look somewhat Lego-ey, and if one designs and builds them oneself then I can see more of a point, but....
I prefer things like the Ewok Village and Death Star, and smaller scale vehicles that use less bricks and more inventive builds. I found the Sandcrawler fugly, inside and out, but at least it embraced a bit more of it; s Lego-ness (although not as much as it should have, for my money).
Once you start getting into a few thousand pieces for one vehicle that attempts to resemble the vehicle as much as possible, I feel it's less like Lego and more like models. Impressive for MOCS but not for sets, IMHO.

Now that said, I haven;t had one of these bad boys in my home. It may change my opinion somewhat, but still; I tend to think a lot of models and $600 toys I see are cool so.....just not Lego cool. Haven't racked up a debt over 1/6 scale figures.

However, there are clearly enough people who will jump all over these things, as the many "take my money" sentiments over the (IMO) overpriced Snowspeeder UCS attest. If people enjoy it, great. Lego can cater to all!
It's nice that some can enjoy ALL Lego......
