I'm holding out to sell to really really angry buyers.

My wife recently helped me to organize my Lego sets and pieces/bricks. I can now quickly and efficiently realize I still cannot find anything.

I have a sneaky suspicion that, those selling on eBay and AZ right now for $85-95, may regret their decision to quick-flip in a few months.

Not suggesting anything here but just sharing a personal experience. 5-6 years ago, I had a rare experience of bad customer service with LEGO Shop at Home. The rep was pretty rude. I stayed on the line after the rep hung up and voiced my displeasure via the recorded survey at the end of a call. 3 days later, I receive a call from an odd Minnesota number. It was a LEGO supervisor that was very apologetic. I had called about a modular in which I had ordered and then got canceled. She said that she had located one and was going to send it to me free of charge. It blew me away. That's how I got a free Grand Emporium.

I suddenly feel as if I didn't buy enough

Another tip with phoning Shop at Home (as a former employee, I was tipped off to this): when it asks up front if you will complete a survey at the end of your call, select Yes. It puts you on a faster track and usually a more knowledgeable rep too. Then at the end of the call its up to you if you actually take the survey you agreed to. I do especially if the rep was great, but sometimes I forget and hang up. No harm done regardless. Also call during normal business hours to get a more helpful rep. I'm basing this on past experiences and insider info so take it or leave it.

We stress over being a tenth of an ounce too heavy, or a quarter of an inch to big, yet I regularly receive these large 15 lb boxes with a 6 ounce first class label smacked on them (delivered without issue). Something somewhere just ain't right.

Disney Train and Apocalypseburg were great to get the GWP's. Train sets sold with 10% profit to get rid of it, Apocalypseburg sets sold with 80-100% profit I don't expect an Apocalypseburg equivalent this year...

I just filled out a price match report at Amazon using LEGO Shop at Home. It may not get the $159.99 price but at least get it back to msrp.

the big winners are likely those no one saw coming

Yes they will @raindog, yes they will.

just call them...mine never came back until I called (waited 2 weeks)...this is not something LEGO is proactive about

EVERY FIVE MINUTES??? damn... must have been TONS of cancelled orders then

Is this the same company that brought us our voting machines?

Sold that coin today for $500. Who posted that originally? We all owe a big thanks.

I have most if not all of the Elves dragons but they were for my own collection. I still remember stacks of them on clearance here back in 2018. 😢

Out of my four orders (Oct 13)...all except one (currently en route) have been delivered. All these initially had a delivery date of November 18.

Contact CS via chat. They’ll offer VIP points. It’s not much but at least it is something.

all will retire. 2020? None, if you believe all the lists. Lego SAH has shanghai and las vegas marked as retiring.

None of them are retiring this year, the ones retiring are Las Vegas and Shanghai.

And LEGOLand FL and LEGOLand CA.

Got off the phone with a very nice Rep (super long hold): Nebulon Frigate is done folks. She told me the same thing that other people have been hearing, the website glitched and the "in stock" button should never have come back on that evening. I asked her if it was worthwhile to watch the website and refresh the item's page in the future, and she said it doesnt look like anymore will ever come back in stock. All cancelled orders have been completed and all inventory spoken for. She refunded my used voucher back in points so if I choose to purchase another voucher I can. She said no Lego stores will carry this, it was online only (I tried to go the "call a store and have them ship" route). The only other option is Amazon, which luckily I have an order pending, thanks to posts on Brickpicker and thanks to me being awake late that night that it first went up (prematurely) last month.

Treehouse extension was bad. Ideas in general was a rough theme this year, I remember a guy with 1200 Apollos on BrickLink and a looot of 21313s. Ouch. Whenever I feel bad about these sets, I remember that guy on BrickLink.

NSFL man...

I ordered a Lego Boost for my son's Xmas gift off Amazon and noticed something on the order page that I never noticed before. Maybe you guys have seen it before, but it says "Item arrives in packaging that shows what's inside". In order to hide it, you have to click Ship in Amazon Packaging and then click the checkbox next to "Ship in Amazon Packaging". After checking this, under Gift Option, it says "Ships in Amazon Packaging". I'm guessing this may be a way to prevent a Lego set from being shipped with just a shipping label slapped on it. I'll post an update when I get the set on Thursday. Seems like a sneaky default setting that allows Amazon to ship products with shipping labels slapped on it. On a side note, some poor guy on Amazon had his Nebulon Frigate shipped with just a label on it. No box or bag.

Technic Ducati : 56 @walmart

ISS: $55.95 @ walmart

Nebulon shipping confirmation from Legoland CA

should be around next year

My take is its not mentioned as a possible retirement and there are tons of other good buying options right now. Why risk funds on a slow moving, big ticket item.

I'm getting around that price in Switzerland as well.

Amazon Global Store UK selling LEGO Star Wars 75252 Millenium Falcon for $577.00+$9.99 S&H (-28%) https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07G3S9XPP/ref=dp_olp_NEW_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=NEW

I’ve always been only FBM and am enjoying the boom in sales this season. It’s like March again

Dang...I was just planning on eating turkey, watching football, and taking a nap this Thanksgiving. It looks like my holiday just got a little more exciting!

Held back as a Black Friday special? Walmart poofed just as fast however....

That makes more sense, was wondering how 1k poofed.

Amazon still has 977 left, but their auto price match algorithm matched a different retailer at $298.70.

Make sure to watch the prices of items you are sending in folks. Just ravaged a seller who sent in a bunch of items at 60% off going rate. Also set quantity limits on your items <-

Looks like it will be 30% off again in February.

Well... I thought it was going to be hard to get rid of the 300 ship and a bottles I bought earlier this year off Amazon. Half of them arrived at Amazon today and evaporated. Made 30$ a set. I'll take it.

Not in my experience for USPS, they round down. But, I think for FEDEX, and UPS you are correct. Just for education purposes. Same box size, 2 lb vs 1 lb 1 oz per USPS website:

For heavier than 1 lb, anything above exact pound needs to be rounded up though. So 2 lbs, 15 oz (or 2 lbs 1 oz) should be mailed as 3 lbs.

My girlfriend said this is the most accurate thing she has ever seen. Also, looking at this, poor guy went down the T1 Camper path too.

Just imagine how the slaves who built the real one felt

Seeing as how they complemented the holiday train with the station the following year, I assume we'll be getting 10264 Fire at the Children's Orphanage next year.
