I ordered a complete set of SW sets, plus an extra Snow Speeder and Speeder
Bikes for parts from S@H, because at this point, I'd rather be guaranteed
the sets and pay a premium than fight the scalpers for the sets.
Though that does NOT mean that I'm going to do my best to find out the
stocking days/times for my local Targets, so I can buy every copy I can of
certain SW sets. Sad thing is, I want them TO BUILD THE SETS, and for
parts, and I'll be less likely to get them than someone that is buying them
to speculate on them.
I sure do hope that TLG is ramping up MAJOR production, so the early
scalpers lose their shirts as the supply keeps up with the demand. I don't
want the scalpers receiving any satisfaction for at least 5 years.
Of course, that is NOT going to stop me from socking away 2 complete SW
sets - one for ME, one to sell in 2-3 years to pay off ALL the SW sets
bought up until that time. And selling a complete set WILL pay off the
4-10 sets I'll have bought for parts, you can count on it. Especially if
it is sold on Ebay.
