If you haven't seen the leaks or the official reveal yet, this set is a complete flip of the classic Millennium Falcon we know. It features a dark, sinister aesthetic that looks incredible on a shelf.

The hype is real because this isn't just another grey ship. It represents a specific "What If" storyline that has captured the imagination of fans. However, being in New Zealand, I noticed a familiar pattern. The local retail price here is significantly higher than the US MSRP, and the availability in our local toy stores has been spotty at best. I didn't want to wait months for a restock that might never come at a fair price.

The logic behind my choice to shop from the US

When I compared the prices, I realized that even with the current exchange rate in April 2026, I could save a decent amount of money by choosing to shop us store sites directly. The US market usually gets much larger stock allocations, meaning I wouldn't have to fight for the last box at a mall in Auckland.

To make this work, I knew I needed a reliable package forwarding service. I have used comGateway before for smaller tech gadgets, but for a large LEGO box like the Dark Falcon, I wanted to be sure I followed a clear step-by-step guide to avoid any hiccups. The process is straightforward: I ship it to a US address, and they send it to my door here in NZ.

The problem with US stores and international credit cards

I ran into a major wall when I first tried to checkout at a major US department store. Many of these big retailers—including places like Nike, Sephora, and even the official Apple store—are notorious for blocking international credit cards. Even though I have the funds, their systems often decline any order that isn't using a US-based card or if they detect a known freight forwarder address during the automated fraud check.

It is incredibly frustrating to see your order status change to "Cancelled" just minutes after you thought you had secured your 75389 set. I’ve talked to many Kiwi shoppers who gave up at this stage because they thought it was impossible to bypass these strict US domestic filters.

How I used the BuyForMe service to guarantee my order

This is where I found the solution that actually worked. I decided to use the comGateway "BuyForMe" (Assisted Purchase) service. Instead of me struggling with my New Zealand credit card, I simply told the comGateway team what I wanted to buy. They use their own US domestic credit cards and established purchasing accounts to buy the item on my behalf.

This is easily the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by picky US retailers. Because the transaction looks like a local US purchase, it sails through the merchant's security checks. Once they receive the Dark Falcon at their warehouse, it shows up in my account, ready to be sent to New Zealand. It took all the stress out of the process for me.

Sending my LEGO set to New Zealand safely

Once the set arrived at my tax-free us address, I had to decide on the best way to get it home. LEGO boxes are notorious for being bulky, and I wanted to make sure the box art stayed mint. I checked the shipping rules to ensure there were no restrictions on toys with small electronic components (if the set had any light bricks), but everything was clear.

I opted for their international shipping service which includes tracking every step of the way. It is a relief knowing that my package is being handled by people who understand how to pack fragile collector items. I also made sure to check the international shipping rates beforehand so I wasn't surprised by the final bill.

My breakdown of the shipping costs

Before I committed to the purchase, I used the shipping calculator to get an idea of what the total damage would be. In New Zealand, we have to consider GST for items over a certain value, so I factored that into my budget.

When I compared this to the local NZ retail price of nearly $450 (if you can even find it in stock), the choice was obvious. By using a proper international shipping strategy, I saved over $100 and got my hands on "The Dark Falcon" (75389) weeks before my friends. If you are looking to add this 2026 masterpiece to your collection, I definitely recommend looking at the US stores first.
