Is anyone else worried that current sets in circulation may not see much of a discount as inventory seems to already be depleted?

I can see deals being slim for the next couple months but as new sets rotate in there is no way they wont have a ton of backlog to discount or clearance. Im thinking July sales will be extra this year. But im just spitballing....and maybe crossing my fingers.

Talked to an employee and manager at target recently and they said that because of covid there wont be many discounts for a while. Could be the same for other places.

There’s so much LEGO I want but I’m just too nervous to “waste” money on non essential purchases at the moment. It’s torture!!!

Supply and demand baby

Feels like production has gone down with expectation that there will be less demands. By the last day of 2x points, allot of popular sets were back order

Here's my issue... I see my local Walmart has the LEGO Star Wars AT-ST Raider 75254 for 35 bucks. Only one left and it's a deal. Pickup only. I want it, but I'm immunocompromised. I can't risk going near a Walmart.

Have someone else pick it up for you. Got a friend that likes you? Family members? Work colleagues? Next door neighbor? The cute dog that you see wandering around?

I'm trying to decide which family member in the bunker I'm willing to sacrifice and send to Walmart for Lego. Tough choice.

It’s probably not there (unless you know your Walmart is particularly accurate). It’s not worth the risk. I wouldn’t even recommend sending a friend or family member. For 5 bucks, order from amazon and wait for the delivery.

I've been thinking about this for a while. There are a few smaller spiderman sets I was really hoping to get on sale. Alas, in my area pick up is meant only for essential items. The Spiderman Noir fig is trying to make the case he's essential, but unfortunately my conscience remains unconvinced.
Hopefully the current sets are still around when this finally blows over, and we still get to see some discounts. But in the end, lives are more important than Lego, and it'd be a small concession to lose a season of discounts in order to reduce the spread of the rona.

The general discussion thread was made for this type of question.

Of the things I am worried about right now, this is pretty low on the list.
oh? something else going on?
