first wave landed this afternoon from target. amazingly well packaged. seal codes are 24R0, 26R0 27R0, 28R0 so a decent number made. going into storage once the rest get here.

Not a bad little set to build.

Same at my house, pre-order arrived today.

Something something, being the teacher for my kids, and not spending every moment on eBay. I don't know...wife is nagging.

Nice! I need to build mine. Just needs a Maz waiting at the bottom like Sméagol, waiting for that precious lightsaber.

Not a bad little set to build. Picked up 3 and will sell the other 2 to CEOs who need “CEO worthy display” sets . Ha. Not a bad little set to build. Picked up 3 and will sell the other 2 to CEOs who need “CEO worthy display” sets . Ha.

You must be new to TLG website.

Pair of $90 lambos just showed up. Thought these got cancelled. I got the dhl tracking but thought it was a technic crane I ordered. Put me on the butthole list.

Is this the new Niko ?

Star Wars and Harry Potter Advent at WalMart online for $29.97. https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=lego 75279 https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Harry-Potter-Advent-Calendar-75981-Cool-Collectible-Hogwarts-Toys-for-Kids-335-Pieces/666341901

Was in the LEGO store today - USA has "Razor Crest" printed on the box.

In for 999. I'm going to be rich!

Fixed it for you. lol Mar. 5, 1962 a B-58 Hustler set the then speed record (ROUND TRIP) LA to NYC and back again to LA in 4 hrs 42 minutes (avg. speed 1214 MPH - going east, and avg. of 1081 MPH returning to LA. They had to slow down to 540 MPH to refuel each direction.) They could track the flight path by the reported broken windows going from coast to coast. Between the B-58 setting speed records over the USA and the competition for a civilian SST (I.E. Concord) the USA outlawed supersonic flight over the continental USA in 1973. So technically, the Batwing is illegal. lol Knowing the required design for the wings in order to achieve Mach 1+, I'm not sure the Batwing could accomplish it. But it is a comic book so what does science have to do with it.

I can't believe I missed out on these! I hate reposting memes but...

alright, you're on it, but if you sell me a Lambo for $200, I'll take you off of it.

I think i see a landspeeder back there

Ebay, $95

No the $280 castles. the $99 castles were sold out by the time I logged on

Oh....so you want $99 Castles AND shipped with care....can't have the best of both worlds! [emoji6]

omg Zavvi you are the absolute worst. Just tape them together, put some plastic wrap around it and ship it from England. What could go wrong.

I've snagged enough already, so someone can have the last one from vipoutlet's eBay store

Once this set was announced this year, I basically stopped listing (I sold two during the spring) my lot listings of Harry/Hedwig, Hermione, and Dumbledore/Ron because I figured this would help bring new buyers in who wanted those old sets.

I still get those price alerts. I even tested dropping the price considerable just to see what would happen, and it still wouldn’t work. I forgot who mentioned it, but listing it as collectible like new is a good work around.

Lego City and Friends Advent Calendars at Walmart.com $19.97 https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-City-Advent-Calendar-60268-With-City-Play-Mat-Best-Festive-Toys-for-Kids-342-Pieces/581661832 https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Friends-Advent-Calendar-41420-Building-Toy-for-Kids-Cool-2020-LEGO-Advent-Calendars-236-Pieces/703258005

I only remember seeing PEE showing up at Walmart and KMart, never at LEGO again

costco has LEGO CITY AIRPORT: PASSENGER AIRPLANE (60262) for $74.99 and advents $22.99 (City/friends)

Isn't this just continuing the pattern of seasonal BHz? Exclusive to Lego in year 1 then sold by various retailers year 2.

I just checked a couple -- one opens this Saturday, one next Tuesday.

I checked at 9 am ET (9/1/20) and saw that all 4 sets were "sold out"

Make sure you put the Beetle code in the “Promo Code” box in your cart, not in the “VIP Coupon Code” during checkout. Make sure you put your reward codes in the “VIP Coupon Code” box during checkout, not in the “Promo Code” box in your cart. Make sure your codes don’t have any trailing spaces (mine did). Easy, right? *sigh*

Ghost BHZ shows back at 9.99 on amazon

a wall mount with glow-in-the-dark pieces and shaped like a moon would be most excellent for this set.

if memory on that set serves, I think it's a better fit for the small town near Hogwarts..Honey Dukes, Hogs Head and the like

most of the bump in sales this year is from April where i sold more than November and December 2019 combined. 1200+ sales in that month all fbm. that was the month when fba stock was depleted, amazon wasn't accepting inbound and demand went insane. i was selling us capitol building for $230-240 fbm - now the price has collapsed back down to $190. if sales had continued at April's pace I would have upper 6 figures in annual sales but they have gone back to slightly above average which for me is now about 400-450 orders a month. i have only done a single fba shipment this year of 250 sets over 24 sku and it was pitfa between how long it took to get checked in even though it got to the dc in 1 day. This is the Florence NJ dc which i find to be the best of all in terms of almost nothing ever going wrong. Then dealing with amazon shutting down some listings because pricing error - price is "too high" even though i'm $1 below the buybox wtf, then 3 sku sold many times before having issues where i can't get them to list properly and then they are stranded and eventually need to be recalled, not to mention orders taking 5,6 10 days to ship out. maybe things have gotten better since late june. once we are well into flu season and people are hunkering down, essentials will be what amazon focuses on and lego sets start getting shipped in bubble mailers by the new warehouse hires 4 days past the promise by date. i personally would not feel comfortable surrendering control of my selling inventory to amazon warehouse at the height of the selling season given what i've seen up til now. maybe amazon will have everything working out and i will wish i had more time for eggnawgg , chestnutz and counting money. however my magic 8 ball is saying f'no . my fulfillment apparatus is honed at this point and i am ready to meet the challenge. i will now stfu about further encouraging more fbm sellers so no hate messages - thank you.

Me: It's been at least a week, lets check into the Retiring Soon - open speculation thread on Brickpicker. Me five minutes later after reading the last two pages:

ULTRAMAN by Moko

Was anyone able to grab one of the autographed HP sets with VIP points? I just saw them around 5pm ET and they were already all sold out. I had plenty of points and redeemed some of them at 8am but didn't scroll down to look at the available items. So I don't know when they became available.

My best one is that, as an Amazon seller, I asked them to return two 9396 Technic Rescue Helicopters back to me. They returned 22 instead. Every single one of them with beat up (and still sealed) boxes.

Doh! Got my three today and all of them are damaged. Box creases on the front or back and one has a smashed corner. (All had to be shipped like that too since the outer box is fine) Poo!
