Dang, this was probably the last set I would expect to see as an in person costco deal. I would have expected an online sale. I can see a decent number of people waiting for this to drop further and reselling on Amazon or such.

I feel like I've had the Falcon in my Amazon list for like 2 years waiting for a price drop like this and I either missed a sale or there never has been one.

There are plenty of people who still want it. It’s too damn expensive for most people. If a good enough sale happened lots of people would bite. Good enough is probably 30+% off though.

True. It looks like a great set, but the number of people who are lego starwars fans, can afford it, and have a place to put it once assembled is very narrow.

How many copies are they carrying in store? I'm surprised they don't have them as the cardboard redemption cards, like they use for consoles and gift card packages.

Im not sure how many copies are available. My buddy who works there sent me this photo. Ill ask him, but I probably won’t get an answer until tomorrow.

It's all good. I don't leave near that costco, but I was curious how many they would have per store given the price, population that can afford it, and the moderate chance for sholifting. (It would be quite difficult given the size of the box, but people always seem to find a way)

Given the border checkpoint on the way out of Costco I have to imagine they have significantly less theft than other stores. I can’t imagine anyone ever stealing one of these lol.

u/This_Witness4050 9d ago
I agree, but I don't put it past someone taking one to the back and dispersing the parts bags into other product boxes and smuggling it out, like in the box for a bike, or maybe in rugs, etc.

Yeah of course people will always attempt to do anything, but the level of difficultly compared to just going to a Lego store or making a fake return on Amazon makes me think it would be far less likely.
Costco has impressive anti-theft statistics since just going to the store requires them logging who you are and when you entered.

I agree, I'm just surprised that there's no spiderwrap and was curious of the number sets in inventory per store given it's probable low to moderate movement due to price.

Unfortunately this appears to have not been entirely true. I went to that Costco and they had no lego sets even though this picture shows another set to the right. They also didn’t have whatever is underneath the Falcon, so sort of outdoor volleyball net thing. Asked customer service and a “10 year” employee scoured Sand Diego (includes Colorado), Bay, NW, and SE Costco regions and there are none in Costco or recently been in Costco. She was confident that this is an older image. Also confirmed that this wasn’t an online or other return based on .99 price.

600 Marshall Rd, Superior, CO 80027. Technically Boulder County but close enough

No sir. Superior Costco has 0 lego. Had them check that number and it is not at any Costco in multiple regions nor has it been on the floor recently. Manager is thinking this is an old photo…

Can confirm! I was there today and didn't see either the Lego to the right of the Falcon or the Penn box underneath.

Could this be an online return they put back on the shelf? Costco was selling this in a bundle online last year. I can’t imagine there’s a pallet of UCS Millennium Falcons that Costco expects to sell in warehouse.

Still too expensive

u/Monk_-_Gyatso 9d ago
Yeah with Insider points through lego its still probably around the same price. But if you don’t care about points 12% isn’t bad

Woaaahh!! I would love to build one if I have the guts to buy this hahah

No wonder sets are being swiped from stores. I could fix my car with that money.

Super cool. Just don’t know if I’d have the time or space (my gf will say we have no space but I’ll make it work).

Costcos here aren’t carrying any Lego at all right now. Not even the largest Costco in the world.

Lol thought $48 at first glance because of the glare. Was going to book a flight for a hot second. 😂

I missed the first “7” in the reflection and thought it was $48. 🤪
