The Nachos Grande Blogroll Sold Me a LEGO Kit

Yesterday I was minding my own business, reading blogs, when I noticed a headline on the Nachos Grande blogroll. It was from a LEGO blog called From Bricks to Bothans and read:

Walmart Discounts 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina

Well, heck. How can you keep from clicking a link like that? The Cantina is a set I have been tracking pretty much since it released. It doesn't have a lot in the way of bricks, but it's got a huge number of minifigs for the price point and it would probably look really good next to my Jabba's Palace, Rancor Pit, and Jabba's Sail Barge kits. So I went to the site and read that Wal-Mart was selling the Mos Eisley Cantina for well under MSRP, and also well under the cheapest price I was tracking to that point. I placed my order for in-store pick-up and my wife went and got the kit after we ate dinner.


Now I just need some time to put the thing together. I've got a bunch of discussion board posts due in school tonight, so this project might have to wait until the weekend. I can't wait. If you are a Star Wars LEGO fan, I would go and check this deal out. Take care reading those blogs, too. You never know when one of them will jump out and sell you something.

    1. It went pretty fast. Even at my podunk Wal-Mart the lady behind the counter said they'd received multiple orders within the span of a couple hours. I'll check out your blog.

  3. Nice pickup. I'm more of a Clone Wars era Star Wars/LEGO SW fan so I won't be picking this set up (looks like I missed the promo anyway), but I'm sure it'll be a whole lot of fun for the people that did.
