Pleasantly surprised to see Lego have reduced the price of the Death Star (along with select other SW Lego sets) by 10%. Not as good as the 40% they'll be doing on some sets but, still this wasnt expected to go on offer.

You're missing the point - most people who buy this aren't buying it for their kids!

Is it fully functional? Are the exhaust ports fixed?

Id be very surprised if many people who have this, let their kids anywhere near it! This is definitely more of the adult collectors Lego :smiley:.

I noticed that dropped the Y-Wing from £65 down to £49, making it illegible for the R2-D2 polybag. Cheeky.

Good discount but still can't justify the mark up from the previous set when so little has changed

You could get a minifig for £2.99... or a brick separator for £1.99

The previous set was £280 I think. I got it for a little less than that. This new set is basically the same but the RRP has gone up to over £400!!!
I dread to think of the new price for the rumoured rerelease of the UCS Falcon, which was £350 I think on first release (not that long ago). I saw a potential price of $800, so expect around £700, a doubling from the previous release. Crazy prices these days.

Lego official site is a total rip off and their points scheme sucks no wonder folk use other sites before them selling over inflated prices then give folk measly Points offers and pathetic % off which brings the prices down to the avridge or the same as some competitor sites. a few days ago that death star was earning a person 3 x points (bonus considered as discount) which would have basicly worked out the same price as the sale price or an even better return. a £40 Discount off a £400 aimed at 14 year olds+ but the key word being £400 and 14 year olds + com'on Lego wtf are you's doing?
I paid £200+ for a (Discontinued) Ewok Village last week very good value for money even though half the mini figures can be found n other sets which makes it a bit less exclusive Lego need to stop ripping people off by recycling Parts of old sets and mini figures into various newer sets or newer versions of old sets it's a total scam.
Again Lego wtf are you's doing?

You just haven't learned how to use the Lego shop to your own advantage. I only ever buy when they have discounted items, and have earned some pretty good freebies cos their points.
You also haven't learned what a comma is.
