No, just a well sized lego.com box with a bit of room at one end for air pillows and a polybag. The shipping box wasn't damaged at all so i was surprised at the little crease.

Sauromosis Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Interesting Raven, and interesting that they will fulfill online orders first. Hopefully barracuda comes back because that's the one I missed. but I could still see delays and lack of availability for a couple more months due to various supply chain areas being less than full of workers.

How they usually fulfill when they run the big sales and run out too. Only thing odd is they never got a lot of the sets that went to wally, target, and LL as well during the shutdown months so guess they really don't want that much of a crowd in their stores. They keep shipping new stuff to the stores and LL on a weekly basis but nothing going to B&M. Once replenishment runs out from the regional DC's which a lot already has on the good stuff then be a few more months of dry spells on that stuff.

Phil B Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 This upcoming Holiday season is going to be .... interesting. We’re coming close to the time where they are ramping up production for that season, and now they have to balance that with filling backorders, shipping summer sets to stores etc. Could create some interesting opportunities assuming people still want to spend money on presents this Christmas .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning in order for it to be placed on backorder the set is already physically made, but may be across the world at the plant still and just earmarked for delivery to the US or wherever. If they don't have the set physically in stock somewhere around the world and earmarked for your region then the set is temporarily out of stock and back orders would not be allowed.

"Backorder", "Temporarily Out of Stock", "Out of Stock"....can always end with an email "We're Sorry but..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, $20 on joe vs dan said: The Great Economic Denial of 2020 and my Haunted House Shipped but still in Romeoville Il. Wow... I just got mine today. Good job, Lego, with this one. The box size is perfect, and the free GWP was so small that they didn't have to worry about changing the box size. Mine is in mint condition, the only defect being a slight bulge on the top left on the front of the box. This set was so big that they have three tape seals on the top and bottom! Boy is it heavy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_bricks Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Received mine today. Polybag was attached to the tape so I sliced right through that, not that it was worth much. Box was creased, but it won't be the first damaged set I've sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_chaos Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 If anybody is in doubt about the size of this, Jangbricks has posted his review of it, which includes comparisons to other sets. It towers over 10228, the roof of that set tops out at the level of the middle of the lowest window of the tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I'm seeing some sold eBay listings today for around $350 with free shipping. For me, if I factor in $30 for shipping, I'd make about $13 if I sold at that price. Totally worth it for a free Beach Buggy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said I apologize about derailment. I agree that if I had a haunted house in hand that I’d wait to flip it. See what supply channels look like in a few months. My guess is that stock will still be low come October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
