kris_1973 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sad part is, I'm a collector, not an investor - so does me no good. But interesting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had some of mine canceled a few days ago, but it was done within a few minutes of my order so I'd guess that if it's been a day, you're good. Also, all the boxes I got were not in the greatest condition but were "acceptable". Seals were 21S5, I think. And, by the way, it is back in stock again without any notes on how many are left.

thegooch49 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 still there. looks like the horde is out on vacation.... Ah, a natural retirement like the old days. Very refreshing that the horde demand doesn't trigger Lego to make more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landphieran Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks for the heads up. I grabbed a couple more. Does anyone know the deal with all the Japanese Sellers on Amazon? It looks like the majority of supply currently on amazon is from Japan. (Please let me know if this is already discussed else where).

ichiroll Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Does anybody think this is a strategy on Walmart's part? Cap the website inventory quantity at a certain amount to give the illusion that an item is "low stock." The horde jumps at this "opportunity" and the next time the inventory update cycle runs again the quantity is updated but only up to the "cap". Rinse and repeat until inventory levels are at a comfortable level. Practically every shopping cart system has this type of functionality so why wouldn't Walmart do the same? Just saying... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would seem like a very smart way to do things however it's completely unnecessary in this situation since the set is retired and sold out everywhere else. The horde would decend no matter what.
