Promotions Stream

Pretty much what the title says. Sign in the Epic Games Store with an account or download the Epic Games Launcher then log in there, go down to the "Free Games" section and "get" it. Side note, the Epic Games Store has been offering a free game every week for the past few years a while now. Around Christmas time they usually do a free game every day up to Christmas Day. (Maybe roughly the last week from the 20 to the 25th? Always best to check the timer under the next free game when it will unlock.) Sometimes the offers repeat.

Rest in peace, Rob and Michele Reiner. I simply have no words for someone who quite possibly had the most influence in my life growing up through their films, roles, and opinions. He proved himself to be more than a "meathead".

just making a post to try out the new layout :)

My guess is tariffs, lego consolidating to save money. Amazon has been doing it for a long time, now that Lego has all the data it's just a matter of time probably. Interesting

I had something very odd happen today. Over the Black Friday week, I placed a lot of LEGO PAB orders, dividing them out to get gwps. On every single order, I had the order sent to my business address instead of my home where I normally receive PAB orders. This is due to me being out of town a lot in December. Last week, I received my first Standard (long-time) orders at work. Today, I received three different Standard orders at my home address even though I asked for them to be sent to my work address. I checked with LEGO to ensure that it wasn't my mistake. Many orders were mixed, with both parts and sets in the same order. The sets all went to the correct address. I can only think of a few reasons why this might have happened: I use my home address for my credit card, even when sending to work. But again, I'll point out that the sets all found their way to the proper address. Since I have ordered parts many times before, my name brought up my home address when they addressed the package in the parts warehouse. It has something to do with tarrifs being paid. Any other ideas? Anyone notice the same thing?

Under “Preferences” “Require Immediate Payment” setting is default to off you have to turn it on.

Is there a "black list" of eBay drop shippers; I have come accross some suspicious buyers lately. they wait about a week to pay and then the ship to name is way different than the eBay user name. One of these, I googled map the address and it was a very sketchy area for a $350 LEGO set; I canceled the order and blocked the buyer. And, did something changed in the settings, I never had to wait over a week for the buyer to pay ( I mainly sell during the X-mas time).

The craziest LEGO pick up so far. It's like walking to LEGO wonderland

My favorite movie of the year.

Waited for this one to be free. Never watched F1 but lots of strategy. Will definitely be picking up the Lego set with the Minifigures. https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/f1-the-movie/umc.cmc.3t6dvnnr87zwd4wmvpdx5came

Picked up some stuff I’ve been eying. Still on the fence on the Star Wars chopper set, it’s been that price before.

Sams Clubs has several sets near or above 40% off retail....some sets I havent seen on sale anywhere

The other issue lately is Amazon reversing reimbursements because the inventory was "found", but the items don't show back up in your inventory. Apparently, their system is automatically matching every lost reimbursement with found transactions and reversing them. If you open cases, they say to keep waiting because it will eventually show up.

I did get a reimbursement but it was for 1/3rd the cost of the sale. Sold Item for 289.95 - Amazon slapped a label on the exterior of the box and sent it in. I created a case calling out Amazon's Policy. Post-order lost or damaged events (customer return claims) If we elect to reimburse you for a customer return claim, the value of the reimbursement is based on the refund or replacement given to the customer on your FBA order. If Amazon refunded or replaced an item on your FBA order, we calculate the reimbursement value as the refund amount or the price of the replacement item on the original order minus applicable fees. I got reimbursed 102$. The "Source Cost" that Amazon randomly determines. I appealed the source cost calculation and ended up in chat bot hell replying "Update source cost". I spent some time looking at source cost values for various sets I'm selling. They are anywhere from 1/5th to 1/2 MSRP. Cody helmet is currently a source cost of 21$ as an example. I tried to update the source costs and nearly all of them were automatically rejected without any option to adjust cost. In essence, you have to jump through hoops to get a reimbursement and then when you do you will lose all appreciation of the set and will be reimbursed on average 1/2 the cost you paid for the item. This is going to going to affect lost units and all damaged units. Imagine they lose a pallet or a case of Lego's. If you can get them to accept you receipts for source cost you may be able to recoup most of the purchase cost, but you are losing all appreciation, time, storage costs, and shipping costs. I haven't had much luck getting the receipts accepted so the loses are far worse.

FWIW, here's one suggestion someone made:

Thank you

The beatings will continue until morale improves (or enough sellers give up).

I think this is the point where you bend over and say "thank you sir, may I have another."

Man what a brutal policy change. There seems to be no easy way to get any of your money back. I went through and tried to adjust "sourcing cost" to MSRP and those were all rejected. Half of them I couldn't even submit documentation. I'm not really sure how to approach this because they are going to steal so much money from people its actually just criminal. Every case I submit is auto replied to by a bot.

I had to add it through the app. Then when I went to pay via Paypal it showed on the Paypal screen.

How do you add the PayPal offer? Not seeing on the PayPal sire

How are people trying to fight these reimbursement claims? I have tried to get reimbursed for sets and the amounts are below my purchasing price. This is going to cost thousands of dollars If all t he damaged crap get's reimbursed at 10% value. I've tried claiming order replacement cost. Collectibles, out of print, cost of storage and time. Literal wall of nothing.
