Well, I hope this was helpful to some. I can't say how many times I tried to get Amazon to price match, this is the first time I got through to them. Apparently they'll most likely only price match Target.
It worked out for me, $50 Amazon giftcard and free shipping got me the Avengers Quinjet for $18.
Other than the trike, it's a really nice set, with the cavernous interior, it reminds me of the Lego jets I built when I was a kid. I have the City Chase and Airport Battle Quinjets, looking forward to adding this one to the collection!

Tantive IV is 99% confirmed for may the 4th. 1700ish pieces apparently. Strangely the rumor is that it will not be labeled as a UCS set.

Is that the new Tantive IV? Looks really good, almost stud-less and love the engine detail. Hopefully not too expensive.

For anyone that's interested, all the newest Star Wars sets except Slave 1 are on sale on Amazon.
I'm just going to have to wait a few months before considering any of them.

So is this the same size as the original UCS set? It looks smaller.

Having the set flippable is pretty impressive engineering.

Buying this immediately! Should be able to right now but the site won't let me

Edit: ordered! Really cool looking set. Should have by Friday.

 

[goatchumby]

Just ordered the ST set. I should have bought two for posterity but you already get two sets in one.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Lego has already shipped. Announced officially, released for order, and shipped for free within 24 hours. If only Sideshow/Hot Toys did business like this!

So our own Bam Bam Crystal Fontan was the lead designer of this one!

Lego Shop Exclusive, $100US Available June 1

Historic Moment Commemorated in Exclusive LEGO Replica Model
The collectible LEGO CREATOR Expert NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander model is rich with details true to the Eagle lunar lander, including separate ascent and descent stages. The descent stage features gold- colored landing pads and panels, opening camera and laser hatches and a ladder, while the ascent stage has a detailed interior. Builders can recreate the first steps on the moon with two astronaut minifigures featuring NASA decoration and golden helmets, plus a depiction of the lunar surface, complete with crater, moon footprints and a United States flag. A celebration of human accomplishment, the building set includes an Apollo 11 Lunar Lander nameplate for display purposes. The set will be available for $99.99 (USD)/$139.99 (CAD).

To mark the 50th anniversary of an historical event that captivated the world, the LEGO Group today announced LEGO CREATOR Expert NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander, a 1,087 piece building set developed in cooperation with NASA, to commemorate the Eagle lunar module which completed humanity’s first successful moon landing. The set will be exclusively available at LEGO Stores and shop.LEGO.com beginning June 1. Additionally, the company unveiled seven new LEGO CITY Mars Exploration sets inspired by NASA’s recently announced ambitions around the next frontier – to return to the Moon and ultimately send astronauts to Mars. LEGO Group will also host hands-on space- themed activations and programming around the world beginning in June.

“We have a deep understanding of the ways in which play can have lifelong impact, and we have been champions of the awe and wonder of space exploration through playful building for almost as long as the world’s celebration of the first moon landing,” said Michael McNally, senior director, brand relations, LEGO Systems, Inc. “There are countless stories of engineers, scientists, astronauts, and roboticists who point to their experiences with LEGO building as the reason they are engaged in their current careers. We hope that our ongoing commitment to space-themed play materials will inspire future generations to help us continue exploring.”

Looks like Michael Collins got left out again

 

[screamingmetal]

True...... so that means we need a Command Module too.....

I like this set more after seeing it built!


Jang's review, which I haven't had enough time to watch:

I'm going to make mine as the Apollo 13 and just never use the base.
