Hey Ryan, I've been a viewer of this channel for the past 6 or so years, and have always kept the Lego community separate from real world events ones. I recently visited Rwanda over the past 2 weeks and went to their memorial site in the city Kigali. For background info, in 1994, nearly 1,000,000 people were murdered in a genocide in 100 days. Now, Rwanda is one of the most safest and stable places in all of Africa, but coming back home I feel like I can't just not mention my experience. As you are an influencer, I would urge you, in some way, to take action and spread awareness of this. This was the first video in my KZfaq feed to pop up, which is why I thought I'd tell you specifically. Thank you

The pricing being just short of the actual promo price (like 1 cent) didn't usually give that promo online.. So if that changed, that would be something worthy of mentioning indeed.. In stores though.. Even if you're 1 or 2 dollars (or euro's depending on your location of purchase), with the right employee you'ld still get it.. Also if you have the possibility to go to a store yourself, please do, it's really fun and most employees really do love to talk to you about what they love as well.. Ad to that the fact that they always have multiple sets built and on display for you to see and it becomes more of an actual event to go there than just another shop visit..

There are notable differences with the regions, as was the case last time. Seems in Europe we will have the UCS Landspeeder with 20% off, par example, as well as Yavin 4.

Hot take: I kinda feel like they should've switched the Droid carrier set and tantive set with fives, so the droid carrier would be a normal set and the tantive set would be a gwp. This would make it easier to army build with the droid carrier and would make the fives figure more exclusive

Walmart and Target carry Chewbacca I think so it could conceivably see a 50% clearance at those stores. However for $160 w/ $7.50 back in VIP points + 3 promos and not having to pray it goes on clearance in 6 months it’s worth it now lol
