ToysRUs.com now has the 2012 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar listed and instock for immediate dispatch! Unfortunately, I believe they marked it up to $59.99 (MSRP should be $39.99).
With the $15 off $50 LEGO sale they have going on right now, it will bring the price back down to $44.99 and you'll also get a Series 5 Minifigure. So in the end (after factoring the fact that you pay $2.99 for the Series 5 Minifigure), I guess its somewhat tolerable paying $2 above MSRP for a set that is not available elsewhere yet.

And since we haven't had product descriptions yet, here's the official LEGO description for the 2012 Advent Calendar. Contains 234 pieces. Apparently, there's 2 new exclusive Christmas Star Wars minifigures. I think the other exclusive minifigure (besides Darth Maul) they are referring to is the white astromech droid in disguise as a snowman.

Even better than the Santa Maul is the white Astromech.

Amazon has this for $49.99. Do you think that will be the MSRP this year?

Most likely. Amazon does not sell at an inflated price, unless it is a 3rd party seller.Salpster wrote:Amazon has this for $49.99. Do you think that will be the MSRP this year?

Should TLC put one or more never-seen minifigure(s) in this set to make it attractive? This set is only good for army build to me, and only white Astromech could make me pick up this set.

Not necessarily. Here are two examples of Amazon inflated price (they are $5.99 MSRP and $6.99 sold by Amazon):Legobrandon wrote:Most likely.

That being said, I guess it looks they are $49.99 MSRP. Seems high!

If you're still looking for the 2011 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, the LEGO booth at Star Wars Celebration VI is selling them for $10 off. I believe they're listing it for $39.99, so that would be $29.99 (with the discount).
