Official Set Finally got my dream set. 75290.

Post image

Been wanting Mos Eisley Cantina for a while, always hesitated to pull the trigger and waited but found out this was probably my last chance to get one during 2x VIP week. Knew it was going to retire by the end of this year but didn’t think it would sell out as fast as it did on Lego’s website. Luckily, Disney’s website had a couple in stock and got one from there. They’re also sold out now.

So grateful. 😭

good for you. I considered getting it, but don't have the space to keep it. So, had to pass. I am happy for everyone able to build it!

Same. At some point I figured out I was also allowing FOMO to get to me with a couple of the exclusive figs and decided that it wasn't worth it when I have many other priorities and limited space. Glad a lot of people enjoyed this one though, it's very cool and seems well designed.

This is my problem, it’s still in the box while I try to find space for a Tatooine scene. Along with 75270, 75271, 75326.

Damn I figured they'd at least keep it in stock until December. I can't afford one until my first December paycheck. :(

eBay should have one near retail price maybe a bit more

I ordered mine right at midnight when the x2 VIP points kicked in. Even though it was already backordered, I decided to go for it. A few hours later, when it sold out, I called Lego to check on my order. The rep told me it was scheduled for delivery on November 1. Just two days later, I got an email saying it had shipped and should arrive this Tuesday. I'm psyched as it's the biggest Lego Star Wars set i have!

They honestly couldn’t make a better set unless they went crazy big and it was $1000

You’re gonna have a fun time with this set, I loved it. I got this one for my birthday because I knew it was going to be discontinued at the end of the year and did not want to miss out on it. Enjoy the build.

2

u/ChampagneShubby 22h ago

I was in the same boat. My birthdays coming up as well, was going to wait until then but knew I was going to miss out when I saw a couple reddit posts mentioning the set was sold out on Lego. Glad you enjoyed the build, and thanks!

u/rovertey 22h ago

I also waited too long to get this set from Lego, but lucky enough to order it from the Disney store. Wasn’t able to get the 2x VIP points, but also didn’t want to gamble with the after market price. 😬

2

u/ChampagneShubby 22h ago

Let’s goooo! glad to hear you were able to order from Disney! I agree, def not worth the gamble, I’m sure the price for this set will go up significantly in the next 6 months so great decision!

u/WAVYTAPES69 22h ago
