My wife bought the Star Wars one at Costco this week. I think it was $27, so you might want to check there if you've got one. She said they also had that Harry Potter one for the same price. They had Lego City too, but she thinks it was more than $20.
There's a good chance we do see a lower price before Christmas. But not lower than $19.99. Keep in mind that The Lego Group has suffered a tremendous downturn in bricks sold across the board during the COVID lockdown. Mall stores took a big hit, thier most profitable store at Downtown Disney took a massive hit. They want to sell as many of these sets as they can because even on sale the profit per box is greater than any other set offered. And Amazon usually has them on sale in October or early November.

The Star Wars calendar might go down to $25 or lower at B&M. But tbh I think this year's is better than recent ones so it may be more popular this time and sell faster.
I've never understood these Advent Calendar sets. There are never any buildings and most of the pieces are tiny. 300+ pieces are so misleading compared to other Lego sets. Are they popular because they are only seasonal?
I'm just curious and not trying to say anything negative about these sets. I've always wondered.

I think its a mixture of the daily advent aspect and that it comes with some unique figs/builds that normally wouldn't come with/be part of normal releases. My son is a big Star Wars Lego fan and he typically is attracted to the advent because he mentions specifics builds that are cool or he wants. I wouldn't say that he is attracted to each years release though.
