Today's holiday freebie is Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Truly for fans of Symphony of the Night with a dab of the Gameboy Advance titles style of Castlevania.

Amazon Customer complained that they received Super Mario set instead of the botanical they ordered and that this happened to them 2x. I use a 3PL and they have no way of confirming to what extent this happened. Since I already sold a few botanicals with no issue, I'm hopeful this only happened to a few sets, but there's no way to know. Is there any process in place with Amazon to confirm that the sets are labeled correctly? I can recall all of them, but they are very large and expensive to do so, not to mention needing the damage to sets and the need to resend to amazon. I also do not understand how they were scanned in initially. Doesnt Amazon check the scan against what is supposed to come in?

Interesting. I did get the email a couple of days ago to ensure my payment details were correct. Might call Lego to unload some GCs I still have towards my pre-orders.

That will be interesting; I was able grab one at MSRP on Amazon the night it sold out. Looking on eBay, there are 50+ folks that have paid over the odds for that in the last few weeks. Will be interesting to see how much of a restock / how long its on shelves. Wasn't the retirement date 12/31/26? Do we still think it hangs out that long?

First time being on sale per CCC and 40% off https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Botanicals-Arrangement-Plant-Lovers-Hydrangeas/dp/B0DJ1C6VP4?

yeah was just a low inventory item through the holidays, week 52 is replenishment so should see some soon.

I think @ravenb99 has a source that there will be another production run with fresh stock produced week 52. Or maybe one last shipment of old stock arriving last week?

I just got 15% CB from Rak for the last round Outlaw Forest den which was a pleasant surprise

??

Returnuary has officially BEGUN !!!!

Another day, another holiday freebie with an open world murder mystery of Paradise Killer.

Restocks week 52

Dang, I just checked to pick up a used one before they climb. Nothing available right now. The last set that got me was the Colosseum. My local Bricks & Figs has a built one on display. Maybe I'll go grab that if its still there.

Changed the title to alleviate confusion (plus that first offer is donzo) and moved this thread going forward. Anyway, the next entry for the holidays is "Sorry, We're Closed". I have no idea what is going on here, feels like a colorful adventure game somewhat inspired by classic Alone In The Dark.

Trying to prove it is still better than gold by retiring a bank early ? Interesting strategy... 🤑

I think that Lego just needs to do this every n0w and then to prove they still have it.

This one really caught me off guard... Wish there is a restock sometime soon.

Now we know how you time travel to find all the deals on old sets, you just have to view Walmart with a browser from the 90s.

Same, intro rate was $41 per month, 2nd year was $50 and 3rd went to $57.

Im using liberty now. Its $51 a month.

Sure, Betrayal at Cloud City comes to mind.

So, to update & expand upon this, Epic Games has started their daily holiday free game countdown something or other thingy. Today's free entry is Blood West, a stylish western first-person shooter worthy to try out for the soundtrack alone.

I am on desktop and top of the forum page has an "Activity" dropdown button. From there I can select "View New Content". Sounds about the same as what Phil B above me is describing. Browsing the main forum page is taking time to become accustomed to regarding the scaling & general feel. If I could use AltaVista back in the day, this is fine.

Has there ever been a early retirement for an exclusive? I looked through the worlds lego sites. Only USA shows sold out. everwhere else is backorder at lesast the ones I checked
