I'm tempted since it was like $120 or so when it came out. It's been selling at the lowered price of $90 for a while now, and also at a discounted price when it was on S@H. Just don't think I like it enough to spend that much on a set I'm iffy, just because it's on sale.

Can't agree with you more, even at half of it's original price, it is still not that good of a set.

Sure, the Starfighter's got about half the piece count of even the smallest UCS sets, and it $130 was certainly a steep MSRP, but it's still a very nice-looking model once on display. $65 is spot-on.

I picked up the Jedi Starfighter set from Toys R Us on May 26th. Completed it on Sunday. Great build! Definitely worth the $65 price tag, had I known it was such a good set, I may have even paid the $90 price it was regularly priced at.

Given all the excess inventory they still have, I do suspect that this one is going to go even lower...

So I'm a liar...

Today I went to TRU to consider looking and buying the new creator beach house thing since the creator theme is on sale this week. I decided to pass on it since it was so new, plenty of time to get it. Then...

I saw that the Obi-Wan Starfighter was still on sale, wasn't surprised. Didn't buy but...as I left the store, I saw one particular Obi-Wan Starfighter set in the clearance area, looked at it and saw that this particular box was final sale, for $34.90. I could see why, as the box was in bad condition, and there was somewhat of a slash across the back of the box. The seals were still on though. Did a quick shake and comparison with a set that was in pristine condition, they felt the same weight and sounded the same. Decided to take the plunge. Just opened the box now, and everything is there. :-D

Nice! Reminds me of when I found a Star Wars Advent Calendar earlier this year on a clearance table for $9.90. The box was open and pretty banged up, but all the bags were sealed and all accounted for.
