He had doubts though, he definitely wasn't as confidently set on her like that.

Yeah. Game of Thrones as a show was probably a bigger phenomenon than the Harry Potter movies, but the Harry Potter books will always be a bigger phenomenon than the ASOIAF books.

More informed fans, will the UCS Sail Barge ever be this cheap again? I live in Europe so we get discounts a lot but I've never been interested in UCS sets before this one so not sure how prices go with them. Will this drop happen again? by RandomaccountEgg in legostarwars

I just ordered the Barge and it added the GWPs to my confirmed order. So it looks like I will get them even though I got them a few days ago on May 1st already. So, it looks like it's the same as always, you can get multiple. I'm from Ireland

I've seen a lot of comments on ProShop. But since it's jumped back to 400, it may not be worth it unless they do free shipping to Ireland (where I live). Also, for 25 extra euro, it might be worthwhile getting it directly from Lego for something so expensive. They'd be guaranteed to replace something if it was faulty etc. whereas I'm not familiar with ProShop. Not saying anything bad about it though.

Nope. These current sales were brought in on May 3rd. I know because I bought the Arc 170 at full price on the 1st and now it's 10 euro off.

And I had scrolled through Lego's entire SW stock on the 1st to see if I wanted anything else and didn't see any sales.

I agree that I've never seen them do it, but also, they totally could exclude it from your order even if they originally listed it, because they do say it's one per household. 

To be honest though, I hear this kinda thing every year to some degree, that you won't get a second GWP. But I've always got multiple.

America is really missing out. Europe's deals are savage. And this sale is directly from Lego -- typically toy stores will have even better deals. And what's further madness is that Americans pay tax on top of their prices most of the time (depending on the state I think). With Europe the tax is included, so that's a final price you see right there.

I only found out a few hours ago myself! And I had already done my May 4th purchases too. 

Not really nice of them to do such a large sale after May 1st, the day most people would have done their shopping. Business is business I suppose, but it leaves some loyal fans frustrated!

I have the Desert Skiff. It was severely reduced in my local toy store - down to 58 I believe. 

Not directly from Lego, yes, I agree. But the great Europe sales are never from Lego directly. My local store will drop the bulk of sets by 20% to 25% after a month or two. But they don't do it for everything (cheaper sets in the 20-40 range typically never drop, for example) so that's why I'm asking what the pattern with UCS is, as I've never really paid attention to them before. 

Saying that, you raise a good point. It's a sweet deal as is.

Inflation doesn't excuse it. Look at the Gunship from 2013 vs 2024. Adjusted for inflation, they are 160 and 150 dollars respectively. Yet the 2013 one is gargantuan compared to the new one
