This is likely in response to Snapmaker's U1 kickstarter that just launched today. The U1 comes with 4 tool heads. So if you want to do multi-color or multi-material, you'd waste significantly less material while also completing the project significantly faster. And of course it's cheaper than X1C Combo and the X1C alone with the early bird price. So imo, the U1 is a significantly better buy for multi-color and multi-material. The closest thing Bambu has is their HD2 combo, which is $2.3k and only has 2 tool heads.
They just price matched me at BB. Going home w/ my first 3D Printer
How did you handle the fact that Bambu isn't a "Qualified Competitor" under BB's Price Match Guarantee? Just wondering if there are any magic words to use when I try to get this Price matched by Best Buy? I purchased a P1S Combo during Best Buy's prior sale but haven't had time to open it yet and get it set up. I'm thinking that if I can get it Price matched, it's worth returning the P1S and going with the X1C.

It's 100% a store to store thing. Completely up to the manager's discretion. Hopefully you get a cool one, or one that wants to make the sale.

The rep assisting me said that they might not match it but I asked her to ask her supervisor/manager anyway, and now I'm about to setup my X1C. I guess it's really the discretion of who is in charge. Didn't even know they carried these at BB but I was shopping at a nearby Costco and gave it a shot.

So, just to be clear... You Price matched in store?
Ack, this is the printer I really wanted but I just ordered a Elegoo CC the other day. Should I return it and get this? New to printing but have been using a Prusa mk3 at the local library for ~month.
I'm so tempted to buy 4 of these to upgrade my P1S; I wished i had waited for this sale instead of buying the P1S during their anniversary.
from a functional standpoint you can just upgrade the nozzle on the p1s to hardened steel to match the x1c, if I could do it again I would just upgrade to the obxidian nozzle for better performance.

Snapmaker who? Doubtful. Bambu Lab is practically just competing against itself in the consumer, pro-consumer market.

Since I have P1S already, i may rather buy the U1 instead of this.
