  2. Kylo command shuttle .. Used the original kit.. Then added 40-50 extra black pieces a lot are minifigure base plates, black tiles and cheese slopes.. Took away a lot of the light grey pieces.. Added a Radar. Changed up wing tips . Redesigned front end. Covered rear showing technic holes on main cockpit area. It's a work in progress I guess.

  4. Well the good news is it should only take the horde 4 years to sell through their stash so that should leave 6 months or so to make your 20% profit before the pics of the remake are leaked.

  6. Found a fix for the 404 error! When the url comes up in the address bar if you delete the 'p' after the item number it will load the product page and let you add to cart. I just put in four orders and have about 8 more to do, but thought I would spread the workaround first. I have a store near my father in law that has 8 Brick Bounties in stock!

  7. There's still time to build these today. Well, here are a few small builds from myself. 75011 Tantive IV & Planet Alderaan: Alderaan is the plant resembling Earth the most, and I can imagine using it in a museum lobby in the future. LEGO Dimensions 71228 Ghostbusters (Ecto-1/Peter Venkman/Ghost Trap): I wanted the non-slimed version of Peter Venkman to add to the Firehouse Headquarters when I get that set at some point. Also, I was surprised that the Ecto-1 build is obviously supposed to be the full car as it doesn't look that way on the packaging with only front wheels being visible.

  20. Oh! Is this the TRU complaint thread? Cool! ... I'm noticing my TRU has more Lego in stock than ever. The regular Lego aisles are fully stocked...and now growing outside the normal Lego section... given shelf space up by the front door, in the Star Wars section, end caps, and now Friends and Elves are moving into the main aisle next to the bicycles. I wonder if the recent coupon / discount drought is having the same effect around the country? My store has shelf tags up for the F.O. General promo, but with everything marked at RRP + 10%, I can live without this polybag. I expect to see loads of them for sale in store next week for $4.99 or $5.99.

  23. It's really dumb though, I really just think TRU employees and managers don't care. They really shouldn't be doing anything that deters a customer from returning or taking away from a pleasant shopping experience. Poor management, plain & simple.

  24. yeah it is a lot different now. It used to be get as much into title that related to it to pull it up versus nowadays being specific and cross referencing the keywords used in title versus categories etc. Best bet is always copy a title in the top few listings that you like as it is already up in the search and the algorithm likes it. Price, Shipping, handling time, feedback are all primary in getting the listing up higher. Then concise titles that give enough but not to much help in where it pulls up. Also stuff like centering text and using other colors in your description lowers it as well. Sell through though from experience is the most important. They don't want items that are not selling near the top as it doesn't do them any good. They are apt to push a listing higher that has a higher chance of selling. Also have experimented of late with quantity. If you have a hot selling item it seems better to raise the quantity higher then keep it running low as the algorithm sees the potential of sales especially if a hot selling item. Tried it recently with a few products that were very hot that I had a lot of and instead of keeping my quantity at 25 or so raised to actually what I had of like 150 and sold 65 in a day as it got main promotion through all the search engines. Which makes sense that if 2 people have the same item and 1 has 100 and the other 10, they stand to make way more fees from the guy with 100. I know your question was more specific of pulling up in search then placement but they do go hand in hand in some aspects.

  25. It's more profitable just not to communicate with your employees. That way, when it's a mistake, the customer doesn't notice. Kinda like how TRU doesn't know about the FO General polybag this week, or "forgots" to put your free polybag in with your purchase.

  26. eBay sellers that state a faster shipping method in their listing than what they actually ship. Parcel select is not Priority and Smartpost is not FedEx Home/Ground, I had back to back sellers pull this stunt.

  27. Can confirm the target dimensions fun pack BOGOF Is active in store. Just picked up two for $11.99 total. Edit : shows up on the in-store scanners as active, but not at the till. Needed an override based on the ad. Then noticed the ad says "available Tuesday" under it, so this promo might only be truly live tomorrow. Also, get your flu shot at Target, paid by your insurance, and get a $5 gift card.

  30. Here's my 2 cents on Ebay after some shitty luck lately being a Buyer... 1) Package the damn item so it is likely not to get crushed... Recent Example, bought one of the smaller Lego sets that comes in a small box (75 piece), the seller shipped it in a god damn bubble mailer. The box came crushed, which I didn't really care about, but what if I did? And don't be that seller that claims that my neighbor probably stepped on it. I've ordered 1000's of items by now and nothing has come damaged ever except that stupid box that is full of air in it, inside a bubble mailer. I also don't live in a city which means my "neighbor" would have to run all the way over here, stomp on it, then run all the way back home. 2) Tape the **** out of it!!!... Recent example, bought a loose set of Lego (about 5 lbs worth) and the box was only tapped on the two main seams, and not the entire area's where anything could leak out. I was at the door when it arrived and pieces were literally falling out of the box as the mailman handed it to me. I couldn't believe it and and at the same time, most of the "Lego" pieces were actually megablok. The total weight upon arrival was just over 2 lbs. I never thought that packaging was so tough to understand but in a matter of a few weeks, two items were pretty much worthless upon delivery. When I mail items out, I do my due diligence in making sure the item is properly packaged and shipped and don't cut any corners. I know it's not possible to have 100% of delivery's go well, but the shipping folks do a pretty damn good job getting things to where they are supposed to go and odds are if it is packaged correctly, there won't be any issues upon delivery.

  33. Have a look at the Canadian Tire of Montreal Nord too. They had Train Stations at half price when I checked (online) a few minutes ago, among other things. Oh, and let me know if you would like to come fill up your stock of shipping boxes.

  35. Just started Dimensions to see if there was an update...14 GB later and I'll be in business. It will be interesting to see if this ends up being true and working or gets patched. It would be a nice surprise to kick off the next wave.

  36. They were listed as free shipping, but did specify the type of shipping. It's not a big enough deal to me to ding someone's feedback, just annoying. That's how I roll too, although I've never thought to send a note stating "You've been upgraded".

  37. I'm able to apply a $5 off $50 to an order of 2x Corner Deli. Didn't go through to the final payment screen, and as usual YMMV with Kmart's coupon application. You might need to clear your cookies. Oh, and no 10% back in points for me - just $1 in points as a promo.

  39. 100% agree. Buyers like to see the set built and that all the pieces are there. Taking a picture of a bag full of loose pieces is pointless.

  45. Man I always like your thoughtful posts, but I need a dislike button today. Just because you only like technic sets these days that's no reason to bag on my Creator 3-in-1 sets. I think for $30 to $80 price points, most of them are outstanding. At any rate, I'd hardly call them "turds"
