Anything related to Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2019 Deals

What is up with all these new Restricted Amazon listings, is Parisian Restaurant restricted for anybody along with Harry Potter Newt's Case?

I can list on both. It's the crazy amazon algorithm gating some and not others. I imagine it will come down after the holidays.

I hope so I wasn't restricted in the past, thanks LegoBro

I haven't sold on Amazon in a LONG time (pre-FBA!), but I still keep getting the seller emails. Wasn't there something about restrictions on Holiday Toy Selling if you didn't have a certain number of toy sales in a certain period before the holiday season began?

no.  amazon has this listing to themselves and listing is blocked if you try to list.

no way to get approval to sell (there is only 1 seller atm - Jeff B). 

maybe later on it gets ungated.  too many other easy ways to make money without that hassle. 

if you sell on ebay, maybe then its a different story.

It will let me list the item (this is the one with only 1 seller-Amazon). No block or gate. I would assume it is just blocked in your inventory when live.

When I see it, I get a little nostalgic as my very first post was about it?

Side note, I'm still waiting to have VIP point credited to my account for online orders made since BF. Orders have shipped, but no points yet.

Anyone else? Usually the points would have shown up by now....

I placed 2 orders on black Friday, both have shipped, I only see VIP points for one. I'll contact CS tomorrow or Wednesday, because I want the points for a purchase on Friday.

It's been very slow and random.  I'll get some point right away and some days later.  Some points I've received for orders placed days after other orders that I'm still waiting for points from?

No points since Friday night on two different days orders.

70840 at Walmart Poofed (error in adding to cart and no delivery option)

For what it's worth, here's the response from TLG regarding the LEGO Shop at Home issues posted in the Ambassador forum (LAN)....

Thank you for flagging this to us.

We were informed that the shop at LEGO.com did indeed crash on Black Friday and I know that the ecommerce team was working intensely to solve the issues on the site and we were in contact with the team on Friday as we saw the feedback coming in from LAN.

This is a very unfortunate shopper experience and I've forwarded the feedback to the integration team in order to ensure that this feedback is delivered and handled by the internal business units related to these incidents.
