Here comes a new era. All Massholes will have to pay sales tax on all Amazon purchase starting November 1st. There goes the 6.25% advantage shopping for Lego on Amazon. Thank you Deval. Attached below is your public service announcement. http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2013/10/28/amazon-begin-collecting-massachusetts-sales-tax-friday/acyUMexp4ChUk2I6JtdJyI/story.html

Anyone know why Amazon.com doesn't sell Lego Technic sets? All I see is sets being sold through third parties.

Can anyone share with me their experiences with selling on Amazon. I sold some stuff years ago and am now thinking of listing some items on there again. I know their policies and prices have changed. I am getting tired of the ebay fees and more the people purchasing on there trying to scam. I am wondering if it makes sense to sell and ship self, or if there is a way to send them all items and fulfill for you. What are the cost benefits or lack off from either way. Thanks for any information or experiences.

For anyone who hasn't noticed, Amazon has raised the minimum for Free Super Saver Shipping from $25 to $35. This may affect the way some people here make smaller purchases. (This won't affect Prime members.)

Im not sure if this applies to other themes, but I've noticed the City themed boxes that I've gotten from Amazon UK have different graphics than City themed boxes that come from US retailers. For ex here are the UK and US boxes for City Excavator Transport. My question is, how do people handle this when posting listings? If all the other listings show the US box as their preview picture and I post the UK box for my preview picture, do I run the risk of buyers assuming mine is some sort of counterfeit ? Would I be better off using a stock photo instead? Do I mention the difference in my description? Or, am I worrying about nothing?

Just received the following email from Amazon. Seems to basically mean that if you aren't already an established seller (and not using their FBA service) from before Sept 19th (a month ago), you won't be able to sell Toys & Games during the holiday season (until after the first week of Jan 2014), so if you were thinking of just selling sets for the holiday rush, you are essentially SOL. Seems like something to cut down on purely seasonal sellers (like Minecraft only last year) and/or scammers, etc. who don't have any actual stock. They don't want to piss off customers who order stuff which will never arrive. From a seller point of view, could cut down your…

Hi everyone I would like to order something from an Amazon site in the EU, but I can't seem to find any explenations if they ship to other countries expect the one the amazon is from (like amazon.co.uk - UK, amazon.it - Italy). To be more precise I would like to order the SSD from amazon.fr, but I think they won't ship it to Croatia, where I'm from even though we're also in the EU (which should be one market). So I would like to hear your opinions and experience. Is it possible or not to order those kind of sets and have them shipped to different countries within the EU? The item is handled and sold by Amazon and not other retailers.

go get em boys ... Amazon MF $ 103! (BP Link) Amazon Imperial Hotel $ 87! (BP Link)

I was trying to get some Lego sets from amazon.fr but it turned out that it did not allow to ship to my address, anyone has the same problem?? I still can order 2 days ago..

The Lego Batcave is on sale for $49.60! This is a great deal! Limit 2 unfortunately http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VPRF8O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&

Maybe we will see some discounts in the upcoming months?

I feel bullied by Amazon. Lately when I order from them, their free "super saver" shipping has been taking forrrrrevvvvvver to get out the door. At the same time, their incessant yammering to join Prime has been ramping up on my Amazon screens, in my mailbox, etc. My 2 a.m. Pacific time conspiracy theory is that they're trying to bully me with redonculously slow shipping so I have no choice but to buy prime or suffer the, "hmm, we know we put your stuff around here SOMEWHERE" consequences. I was about to sign up for Prime anyway (it does make sense for as much as I buy from Amazon) but now they've made me feel like I'm negotiating with terrorists and I don't want to…

So a while back I wrote this blog, but it was in the middle of a crap load of others and I don't know how people saw it. Maybe everyone already does this: http://community.brickpicker.com/blog/28/entry-366-amazon-gold-box-deals-make-sure-you-are-getting-the-most-out-of-amazons-discount-system/ Anyway, you can basically tell Amazon you only want Lego sets in your Gold box and it works really pretty well. I have multiple Lego sets in it almost everyday. Last 3 days in a row, I have had at least one of the minecraft sets and I got all three of them for $33.24 which as you all know anything is a good discount on those. I also recently got the delorean, and p…

I glanced through the prior topics, but didn't see anything specific to Amazon FBA (Fullfillment By Amazon). If there was and I missed it, I apologize. I'm looking to sell some Lego sets using the Amazon FBA service and was wondering if anybody has had any experience good or bad selling through FBA. My concerns are that I have to put an FBA label over the barcode on the box. Not sure how a collector would feel about having to remove it and potentially damage the box. Also, a little concerned that the boxes that I send which are in mint condition, may not be received by the customer in mint condition, if you know what I mean. Just checking to see what othe…

Some people think it was hacked. Either way, I would advise everyone to consider changing passwords as one is better off on the safe side of things. Hopefully it was nothing, but in this age, who knows?

Just got a camel alert for 4204 The mine for $13. There were 13 in stock when I looked at details page but I got only one by the time I put it in my cart and checked out. Price has been adjusted to 96.00 now. What do you think, order will get canceled?

Okay, I was looking through the Amazon price grid to then came across the Umbaran MHC and it stated the set was half off! I immediately clicked on the link and just as quickly was disappointed. It was for the wrong set. Not only that but the list price was incorrect and the sale amount is above real retail! I mean, look at this ridiculous malarkey! This is actually being sold by Amazon.com and not some third party seller. Here is the Amazon product listing to see for yourself. This is just laughable.

I cannot help but laugh over this. Amongst my last order from Amazon.co.uk was a few boxes of the 9461 Swamp Creature set. Instead of placing them in the box with the rest of the Lego, someone with a far greater intellect than I possess decided to put the sets into their dvd boxes. Needless to say they didn't fit properly, so needed to be pushed down a bit just to squish in.....

Shipping is $13.99 I know that's a bit steep but the final price is still $12 less than the lowest Prime offering with free shipping.

Just letting you guys know! LINK TO KINDOMS JOUST

Did Amazon reduce the amount of shipping that 3rd parties can charge in Amazon Marketplace? The "Used & New from" prices have been much higher than normal for about a week. I have also noticed much smaller discounts on Amazon...wonder what's going on there, maybe that Haunted House episode burned them and they changed their algorithms???

moved to Amazon forum...DOH!

I found some deals on the Lego Architecture 21006 White House and the 21011 Brandenburg Gate. Brandenburg Gate for $22.99: http://www.amazon.com/LEGO
