Just an FYI, the B&N return window is only 14 days unless they have an extended holiday return period. It is also frowned upon (by at least some of us) to abuse store return systems including using them as a way to hedge your quick-flip bets. Making mistakes, learning from them, and growing to love Joker Steamrollers are all part of the reseller game.

FYI - got the Blinq Batman caves in. I think the mailman was unhappy as they came in four huge boxes and he put it so I couldn't get out my door! All sealed and no real problems with any boxes. Unbelievable value for parting out at that price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The entire stock was purchased when the exclusive was briefly available online with no restrictions.

This whole VIP Black Card stand process is a debacle. This stand should be free after buying the $800 set early in it's release. It's another way to suck more money out of us by spending more than $35 for free postage. At the very least, the stand should have been offered during the Black Friday weekend sale What a sad joke LEGO Marketing has become. Despite having great consumer service, LEGO certainly turned into one <insert here> company. Update: the disgust in me got to the point that I just called LEGO and explained my frustration with the whole Black Card item in 4 sentences. The rep listened and stated other folks today also called to complain. I explained it wasn’t about the money to spend but the principle itself. The rep offered to take my unique # from that email and is having the stand shipped to me w/o a purchase

Experience.

The first trailer is here:

/S Here in Djibouti, the Saturn V is already retired. But we do connect to the internet by sticking a Ethernet cable up a Cheetah's butt... so things may move faster here. /S

to any of these newer guys, I have a few chima fire bikes that are invaluable if you want to buy one off me.

Never would have thought it possible, but so much more excited for this than the last Star Wars movie

Hardly. I'm selling Supermarket and Puppy Day Care for 2.5x RRP, Foals Washing Station for 3x RRP, and Puppy Pampering for 4x RRP. Others aren't doing as well as those, but you should at least try to be somewhat accurate when laying out your latest glass-half-empty drivel.

May want to check that. They usually don't give VIP points on the part of the order that you don't pay actual money for.

Best price yet on the Bus Station....https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-City-Town-Bus-Station-60154/618377518

Geez, I think he already answered that question in his own post.

Kylo Ren's Shuttle appeared in "The Force Awakens" first and we saw the wings in all it's formations.

I may be bragging just a LITTLE, but here is what my CS rep did for me along with 200 points. And i am not making this up. I am still in shock !!!

Reading that thread made my head hurt

Pretty limited trailer as you would expect. They'll ramp up as we get closer, obviously, but this movie is going to be pretty epic. Definitely more excited for this than SW9 and never thought those words would come out of my mouth.

The code is working now, the set 5005747 added to my cart.

TOTALLY MADE MY MORNING! LOVE IT!

it depends on the theme and the set. imo for B&N, getting the HP figs makes all the difference because you can sell them off right away, which reduces your buy-in price on those sets. the sets that are 50% off are marked down as such for a reason, so by themselves without the figs, other than the Coast Guard Headquarters, I'm not sure there are any that are considered a "sure thing"

I bought the Winter Holiday Train and Star Wars Poe Dameron keychain. For Double VIP points, Christmas Carousel freebie and Black VIP card freebie. # 29 in line.....at work so I will just wait .......and wait........and wait..... lol

Just got off phone with LEGO USA CS. She placed a specific order for me to receive the Black Card Promo set. She informed me that if the order auto-cancels it is because it is showing oos, but NOT to panic. She assured me that anyone who qualifies for this set and places a qualifying order (SW stuff) will get the set. She also admitted that all their lines were currently busy which is "very unusual for this time of a Friday morning." Additionally, she told me the promo went live at Midnight. I told her I didn't receive my email until 5 AM. She even admitted this is a somewhat fitting end to the SW MF Black Card promo... lol.... *sigh*

Just ordered anyway, and sent email to CS. At least there's a lego store near me for return if promo doesn't come through.

This is a legit seller. I’ve purchased most of my Ryobi power equipment from them for 70% off or higher. All are marked as refurbished, when in reality it is simply damaged boxes or returned items. As for lego, I’ve made around six purchases. If the title says “Brand New” then you are generally in good shape. “Damaged box” or “like new” is a turkey shoot. I’ve received crushed boxes and at least one order of a set with no box, just polybags. The nice thing is they have a 90 day no hassle return policy. I’ve used it without issue. These guys are located next to the WM HQ in Arkansas so it doesn’t take a genius to figure out where they are sourcing a lot of their stock. I suggest going to their actual website and browsing the inventory there— it is usually a lot more than eBay! They also like to give away 10% coupons. Watch the pricing on their site. They tend to stagger markdowns a dollar or two per day until it sells. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Not sure if already mentioned... 75198 Tatooine Battle Pack $9.48 at WM and Amazon. 37% off. Also at Target, so red card will get it down to 40% off.

Not at all, you just need to contol the buying impulses and try as soon as possible the Selling side of it...

well, I went to a store, which I routinely bought lego from, during my lunchtime break. Checked out with $250 worth of lego and got 3 HP promos as planned. Then here comes the interesting part, the person who checked me out happened to be the manager and he said he saw me purchased lego a lot (truth) from time to time and he thanked me for bringing biz to his store. As a token of thanks, he grabbed a couple more HP promos and put them in my bag, so instead of 3 promos, I got 8 ?

Yeah, I saw your post right after I replied. It's almost word for word...lol.

I would buy Walkers at 40% off. It's rarely been on sale online. I gotta think it gets to $180-200 worst case after eol. Probably better than that if it follows previous Walkers.

I'll take that bet.

You missed the B&N code stack frenzy

When I made post 9 days ago on 11/28 there were 289 eBay listings. Down to 252 as I write this.

The nice thing about the code is if you are using the "Best Offer" option and had some interest from folks you can contact them and say "I can't go lower than $xxxx, but there's a 10% off coupon from ebay if that helps. If not, I hope it helps you with other ebay purchases."

I received the email with the code from LEGO this morning at 10:02hrs (UK time). Immediately placed an order and applied the code at Checkout. 5005747 was added to the items in the basket and is also on the emailed order confirmation. PRICE QTY TOTAL 5005747 5005747 VIP STAR WARS GIFT V46 GBP 0.00 Qty: 1 Total: GBP 0.00 Good luck to others trying to get. Nick

Some good news. The 5 Old Fishing Stores from Lego SAH finally changed to "In Warehouse" status. However, Brick Banks are still Backordered.

Run away while you can !!

If only someone would of warned us during summer... that was the first reference of train staying and station going as well, not to be confused with the other 100 times it was asked... brick bank and joker manor too, just a little snippet of a bigger riddle to come...

for the 135th time yes it is... That damn Ed Mack character getting this thread off topic again, should go write a book or something... still have my book on the bottom shelf of my night stand.

This whole idea was and has been a clusterF from the start. Many of us tried to buy one at 12 AM and did not get the chance. They could have taken back orders. Now this less than special promo. I am not impressed.

Just needs an architectural style printed tile under the minifig with the word "Sucker"

Someone should chart Seacow POST EOL and Bitcoin performance over the last year. It will look similar.
