Of course you can get this many.  I was the 2nd one on eBay with these and only because I listed them in the middle of the day after my LEGO store put them on the shelves.  Of course I could only buy 5 given the LEGO Nazi employees at my store.

Wow, I had no idea.  I bought out a guy in Canada a couple weeks ago and received them today.  I went with the Lime Green because they were cheap.  I just did a quick search on BL, and you're right - no one seems to have any.  Check Lego to see if they have any in stock.  If not, maybe someone else has a sugggestion as to an alternative part to use?

Funny you mention Lime Green.  I was reading BS yesterday and saw this posted.  Reminds me of the friends Deathstar - shot some gingerale out the nose when I saw that

Jokers very own.

Another Sea Cow and Helicarrier

I have the seas and skies covered.

You know the limit is gonna be 5 online too, right?

My curiosity got the best of me today and I bought the 6085 Black Monarch's Castle that has been sitting on Blinq.com for the past few weeks after they lowered the price dramatically.  I'll be surprised, but pretty happy if a NISB set from the 1980s arrives at my doorstep for $400.

Yes, I did and do, which is the point of my post.  There are LEGO stores that couldn't give a flying kite about limits and/or handing out a Holiday Train for every $100 you spend.  Whereas I can spend $1500 but they will only give me 1 train whether I make 1 large purchase or 15 $100 purchases.  I bought 5 of these the day they arrived at the store.  I can guarantee you if I go back in to get more in 3 weeks, they'll tell me I've already reached my limit.  

What will you guys be asking for the holiday sets? Whats the upside on these?

Picked up a damaged box Tumbler at The Lego Store today during a meetup for a Craigslist deal at the same mall. CL deal provided ~25 lbs mixed bulk with lots of star wars pieces, including a full looking bag and instructions for a 6211.... $165 CDN. Pretty stoked, it's a huge pile, should keep me busy for some time.  

Ordered a Milano spaceship set.

How the heck do you manage this raven? My store employees limited us to like 2 each, and asked me why I needed so many.

5x thanksgiving and 5x each of winter scenes, 2 RE, 2 free trains

Similar... my local thought it was odd I was clearing their display (of a whopping 4x each of 40123, 40124, 40125)

Did you tell them to resell? :P

I told.them I belonged to a local LUG and needed to pick up extras since we don't have a lego store. Of course I was only picking up one extra, the rest were to sell

Lucked out on eBay and picked up the Technic 8043 excavator and 9343 tractor for $160. Seller had 0 feedback but I couldn't pass it up. Looking forward to getting the excavator as I've wanted it for a few years and picking it up for about half the market value made it awesome. Told my wife she bought me my birthday present.

2x ISD

4x ISD and S1 Microfighters all at 45-50% off RRP.

Still kicking myself for not getting any 75105´s at 60% off - they are OOS pretty much everywhere now but I focused on ISD´s as MF should be back again soon.

How were you able to find the series 1 microfighters for so cheap?

Pre Xmas blow out sales are common here to encourage early shoppers and spread demad more evenly. The ISD´s were a much better buy at 50%!

Seems that Paw Patrol is the must-have kiddies toy this year.

I just bought 5 each of 40124 Winter Fun & 40125 Santa’s Visit. From what I can tell, these aren't visible yet by browsing shop at home in the US. They aren't in the seasonal section with the others yet. But I was able to find them available by searching for the set numbers. I had to roll incognito mode to search, but I think that was just because of the cache/cookie issue. The train was still available too, which is nice. So I got 5 and 5, and a train. 

I had a great day at the Brick Show today! I caused a bit of fuss while smooshing and found myself taking requests from other shoppers! My girlfriend found it hilarious as I kept getting referred to as some sort of minifigure wizard...

Nice find. I wish I found that during 2xVIP. The URLs by the way are:

/Winter-Fun-40124
/Santa-s-Visit-40125

Aww, wish I'd seen those too! The little Santa one looks like a perfect stocking stuffer for 2016 or 2017 :P
