Convince me one way or the other...

hello fellow brickpickers, a moment of your time please. I think I know the answer to this, but would appreciate some opinions from some varied points of view. I have an opportunity to purchase a jabbas's sail barge, jabba's palace, and rancor pit for $240. all three are mint in box, with no tax or shipping charges. currently the palace and rancor pit are available on amazon for $95 and $48, respectively. both with no tax or shipping. $240-$143=$97 for the sail barge. unless I am missing something, there have not been any discounts on the barge (yet), so if I bought one local including tax it would cost me $126.59. that would be a savings of 23% on a sail barge if bought for $97. my gut is telling me this is a solid deal with plenty of room for growth, but for some reason I haven't pulled the trigger yet. all three are for investment. I love the palace. the pit is so-so, but the rancor is a sweet fig. the barge is new and a re-make, but looks pretty sweet and has some great figs. I already have a few of each (palace and pit), but wouldn't mind more palaces. this would be my first barge. do you think 23% off on the barge is good enough to pull the trigger on a barge right now since it just came out, with a palace and pit also included at lower than retail prices? thank you!
