You don't get paid by an employer and they will never understand that. No i did'nt mean it like that. I meant it that because of the attitude of your bosses ( not him ) i have decided to give my business to your competition who are more than willing to accept my money.

grabbitfast Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The whole scenario is ridiculous Smyths and Toys r Us are the Lego Police in the UK constantly cancelling orders for 3 or more of the Same Lego set,easily bypassed of course by collecting 2 in each store. A few weeks ago I managed to pick up 4 of the same Lego duplo sets and four monopoly sets no one blinked an eyelid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrymc4677 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I just called the number out of curiosity. It was for the Shopko ethics and illegal activity hotline. I hung up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago I managed to pick up 4 of the same Lego duplo sets and four monopoly sets no one blinked an eyelid. God, i could write a book about it honestly. Here is another one - Out food shopping with the Mrs. So as you do, i say " i'll just go and have a look in the Toy isle darling " Head into the toy isle and there were about 30 x 75034 for about £4 each. I don't have a basket so head off outside to get a trolley, put the sets in the trolley and head off to checkout. Instead of putting them all on the conveyor belt thing i give her 1 set and say " i have 30 in total to pay for ". Lady on the till says " what do you want all them for ? " my reply is " what's it to do with you ? ". Next thing she picks up a microphone and blurts out over the tanoy system" manager to till xxx and security please ". Now i have half the supermarket staring at me. Two minutes later 2 security guys turns up and a minute later the manager. " What is the problem ? " I respond " there is none " Lady on the till says "he is trying to buy xxx amount of these" and the manager says " what is wrong with that ? " I pay and head off into the sunset. You could'nt make it up ! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZNSalinas96 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 @terrymc4677 I took this out of daily deals, would probably do better as it's own thread. I hope those stickers are easy to come off.Nothing can withstand my hairdryer and tweezers 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Calling walmart.com support is painful. after waiting on-hold for a rep, good luck getting someone who understands the sticker. 48 minutes ago, Ed Mack said: Well everybody should call that number to report that it was being sold at the local LEGO store, Target and Toys R Us. 1 hour ago, lazuli16 said: This is on my cragger command ship (don't judge).

nolanfan34 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 They are to deter theft. Fred Meyer in my neck of the woods has a similar sticker to Wal-Mart. I'm not sure how effective they are really - one seller at BrickCon was reselling all kinds of sets with the sticker on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Well everybody should call that number to report that it was being sold at the local LEGO store, Target and Toys R Us.Hahaha! Yes! I appreciate the literal interpretation here. It would be fun to call with a very concerned alarmist tone and start listing off all the places you can find, in real time, that sell that set. I can hear it now, after listing off the obvious stores..."Oh sh1t Charlie at Walmart! I just found this set online for sale at Barnes and Noble also! This is an epidemic! What are we going to do to stop these shady companies from also selling your exclusive item?!? I think you need to get a manager on the phone with us right away Charlie!"Ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
