i have had destroyed sets from target or sets slapped with stickers including damaged WVM and PS.

 

the last 3 tumblers from target were mint.

How often does Target send out item with really bad boxes? I just got a destroyed TB and am not sure if a replacement will be just another bad one

thats unfortunate as i just ordered a single Xwing from them also.  What I do know is that you can go right to target and return the item... They will restock it at a huge discount and guess what.... you can BUY it back from them!  LOL!  now I know what some may think, but personally its targets fault for shipping it so poorly.

We define "destroyed" differently.

I usually use site to store for Target and WM.  I can inspect the product and the shipping is always free.

Target has Site to Store for the TB? Man I learn something new on this site everyday.

You should have stepped on it and thrown it around a few times. It would have made for a better thread ;)

LOL OK, I will make sure not to use that word unless more warranted. But would you keep this?

Check out some of the blogs. There's sooo much more to this site than just the forums.

Not great, but that's nothing!  I got a Technic Tow Truck last year from TRU and it had a hole in it that was about 6", like someone put their foot through it.  Eventually got one in great condition, but the first two...yes, two, were insane.  Never had a problem with Target, though.

I'd return it, but thats only because i know if i resell it, it would go to that one guy who would flip out and leave negative feedback even after a detailed description of what was wrong.

Depends on the price. Close to MSRP I'd rather order fresh ones from LEGO Shop at Home.

You should be able to smooth it out a bit, bringing it bacl to original shape. Some not so discrete marks will remain, but I wouldn't hesitate to sell it as NISB and just add a picture and a comment about the condition.

Yes. I'd keep it.

IYou can't have a box like that in your collection.. So, with that said, 'll take it off your hands for $150.. Deal??  

 

If you're going to build it, keep it. If you're going to resell it later on, than send it back. 

similar to what I'm going to do with tb.

If you can pull that off, it would be like jumping over the open bridge in a double decker bus

 

 

 

 

Or is it a different type of jumping that we're going to see you do?

If you are inferring that it's part of the architecture series, it's actually part of the creator series. This thread will give you a good idea of the opinions on this set.

This is Creator not Architecture. How can you not give attention to the most beautiful bridge ever constructed? This can only be a winner in my book. If it's too big for you to post, have buyer collect with cash on collection. I offer a discount for this which offsets PayPal fees and you can always offer the buyer other no-fee deals.

You could have been talking about the creator series, I'm not really hip to how many actual sets are in any particular series.

I don't think you understand my question. I 'm just thinking about buying one from the legoshop :-) but i'm not convinced. I think it doesn't sell that well.

For what it is worth:

 

I think this set is awesome! I rate it to become almost as the 10224 TH and 10221 SSD. I currently own 5 of them. But think this is not enough. Hence, 50 are not even enough when this retires.

 

Just my 0.02

Hi, thanks for your reply! Did you found them at discount? I once did but took all the 10224 that day... :-)

Yes I did... probably the same place where you bought all the 10224. Just wait for new sales. I expect this one to come on sale again for one last time.

Keep me updated :p

I understood your question and I was letting you know that there are 13 pages (which isn't that many) of opinions on this set, after reading through those pages you might have a better understanding of the set and it's investment potential.

I was replying to tabbyboy, sorry!
