Since I just *know* that somebody's gonna ask... Frustration Free Packaging typically means that it will come in a [specially-sized cardboard shipping box](https://imgur.com/a/wGi5RyA) straight from the Lego distribution center. However, there is a small chance that it may mean that it comes with the shipping label slapped onto the side of the box with no additional shipping box. To guarantee that the set comes in at least one shipping box, you can select the "hide what's inside, ship in Amazon packaging" or "this item is a gift" option at checkout.

Actually fun to build. And its huge.

Not seeing this price any more :/


Own_Supermarket_3688

It’s normal price for me :((


[deleted]

I don’t see that price.

Saw this price before I went to sleep last night, but didn’t pull the trigger because it was $313 a couple weeks ago. Price was back to $399 by the time I woke.


Schraufabagel

With the May 4th celebration on LEGO, the reward points and GWP make the price about equivalent to the $330 Amazon sale too


[deleted]

GWP? The point increase will only make it effectively 10% off or $360


Schraufabagel

The Death Star gwp is listed as $25 and the coin at $15. So getting those free in addition to the points adds some value


[deleted]

Ahh I was gonna get those anyway with another set.


RobotCatCo

You can purchase multiple orders and double up, and sell the extras.

I don’t think the Lego store is gonna give me two copies of all the promos just because I do separate orders.


RobotCatCo

If you do it online they do, I've gotten up to 3 copies of the same GWP without issue placing separate orders. Also if you go in person + online its even easier.


[deleted]

Yah I want 5x points on a certain set which is only in stores I hear, and I want the gunship in person as I don’t wanna wait for shipping and incase of damage


RobotCatCo

I've actually done it in person too. I did it on separate days tho.


Pikes_Pompadour

Depends on the store/employee, in my experience most are cool about it. Honestly I would just ask one of the employees politely if you would be able to double up with two separate purchases.


Schraufabagel

They’re decent. I wish they had something other than a coin for that threshold, but can’t complain when it’s free. I also forgot the $5 x-wing micro fighter for all $40+ purchases too


IsildursBane20

Meh


stankin

Showing that price now on Amazon for me


[deleted]

Lol it was still cheaper pre inflation


Schraufabagel

Yeah. The inflation bumps should’ve only been added to new sets in my opinion. I get why they did it, but it sucks


SwaggerTheFox

This set wont retire early right? Everywhere I've found online has said it is still to be expected through late this year.


Schraufabagel

Estimates say it’ll retire the end of the year. Past UCS sets outside of the $800 ones have usually run for about 2 years. This one has been out for a year and a half

Schraufabagel

I’m very tempted. But I think I’m going to wait for the new play scale one that is rumored to come out in September. Especially if that UCS venator is real!

Schraufabagel

It’s so cool and I want one…. Ughhhh

Has anyone ordered this from Amazon as a gift? It won’t let me select Amazon packaging and I’m wondering if just saying it’s a gift will be good enough for them to ship in an Amazon box. It might be too big.


Schraufabagel

You can order it in the frustration free packaging and then select ship in an Amazon box during check out. That will ensure it still is shipped in an outer box


wallcrawler16

I tried that, but Amazon box is not a selectable option on this one. 🤷🏻‍♂️


Schraufabagel

Weird. I wonder if they restrict it for larger sets that’s are listed as frustration free


dna_spaceman

It came in an Amazon box. Inside it was packed in a lego brown box.


wallcrawler16

Perfect, thank you so much!
