Just a reminder to everyone - and this isn’t directed at any one in particular as we’ve all been guilty lately - this thread is for posting of deals. We’ve been lax with the cross talk lately, but as the holidays approach, and potential deals come around, let’s keep it to a minimum. Instead, I encourage you to check out all the other forums we have. There’s a topic for just about every set out there. And if there’s not, create one! We have topics on speculating what’s going to retire, investment strategies, clearance at individual stores. Please go check them out. Thank you!

If it’s not a deal, please take it to the other forums. All this talk about the Bespin set and the status of your order should be in the Order Status thread. My order status https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?share_fid=2172433&share_tid=8838&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ebrickpicker%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3F%2Ftopic%2F8838-My-order-status&share_type=t&link_source=app

For those of us *not* in range but wondering, (and to spare you creating an account just to find this out) Meijer only delivers to these states. womp womp. Illinois Indiana Kentucky Michigan Ohio Wisconsin

Alright, I thought I explained the math already pretty thoroughly, but here it is one more time: You get 20% off Creator sets, so for 31109 that makes $79.99. You need to clip a 10% General Merchandise coupon in your mPerks account to get another $8 off to make the total $71.99. As I said before, I had made a Gift Card purchase of $500 the previous day, which netted me the maximum of 10x$5 in mPerks rewards ($5 off every $50 in gift cards). I used those to bring the total down to $21.99 That $21.99 counts towards your total for the "For every $100 you spend on toys you get a $15 reward" mPerks promo. So depending on what you are buying, your purchase might trigger one or more of these rewards. Then there is free pickup which applied to my order, so I picked mine up from my closest store. There is also a free delivery on $40+ in LEGO mPerks coupon, which can be applied to your order if you choose delivery. I have no clue if you need to tip or if there are any additional charges. As you can see, it takes skill to play this game. I honed my skills with Shop Your Way over many years. Not for the faint of heart or the short on time. Elbow grease required. But worth it for a personal build for me.

Every Meijer post always turns into a hot mess. Dubious deals. Dubious math. So many questions about a store that may or may not exist. Am I jealous? Yes, definitely.

The order status on the Amazon order I didn't place is 'delivered and keeping it'. I got 4x JW Baryonyx in the mail without ordering them and when I called Amazon they said they have no record of sending them so I should keep, donate or dispose of them. Amazon.com was freeLEGO.com today!

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right forum but I really wanted to share my recent find with some other Lego lovers. While on vacation visiting family I visited a kids consignment shop with my aunt. She noticed a huge container of lego and pointed it out. I talked to the staff and they were planning on sorting it out and selling it in a Facebook auction around Black Friday. They didn't seem willing to sell it that day so after buying other awesome stuff for my daughter we left. I thought about those lego for the next week and shortly before we left the state I gave the store a call and asked again if they'd be willing to sell it all at once. They agreed! I was able to get this lot for only $300! They're all "girl" lego like Disney, Elves and Friends. I haven't bought a bulk lot in roughly 7 years and didn't have any of these sets. There were around 17 lbs of manuals included which show over 80 sets. The rest of the lego weighs over 65 lbs and not pictured is roughly 4 lbs of megablock/off brand and other toys. There's over 50 complete minigures and pieces of a dozen more. From what I've priced out, the sets that the manuals include are valued at $1600 currently so even if I have to spend a few hundred in missing pieces I still got a great deal! I'm also pretty excited for my daughter to get to play with these one day (she's only 20 months so we're still in duplo for the moment). Some of the notable sets include the Frozen castle, Friends airplane, treehouse, camper and cruise boat.

I can fill the treehouse shortage 😭

Brickset has an article about it here. I'm not a Technic person, but all of the open space (especially in the hood) of some of these models just doesn't make it appealing. I know that it is supposed to represent the recessed areas, but I don't think empty space is effective for it. Price point definitely lets more people display these supercars, however.

In my state, but still won't deliver to me.

Jet.Lego.Com Just wait until Walmart gets the banhammer.

I'm looking forward to the UCS Frog Lady Egg Backpack with removable eggs.

I love that I got the order e-mail a full thirty minutes after receiving a cancellation e-mail.

I've gotten three from them already as well and can't activate my family to buy stuff for me fast enough [buncha ding-dongs, don't they know this is important?]

Yes, my original post was an affiliate link <my mistake>, but I edited it within a minute and its the standard link now. I was rushing too fast to get it on the board for everyone.

Not sure if posted elsewhere, but this Four Seasons moc made me chuckle...

An odd occurrence...a few days ago Walmart had Creeper Mines on sale for $63. I placed two orders of two each. They arrived today in huge boxes from Shop at Home, and both boxes had a DOTS bracelet free giveaway promotion in them. Is Walmart drop shipping from Shop at Home now?

Official reveal from the Star Wars youtube channel 75299 Trouble on Tatooine 276 Pieces $29.99. Mando has arm printing.

Interestingly enough the order moved to “In Warehouse”

Same here.

Hope mine actually ship, didn’t have any of this one

That would be a game changer. Get your popcorn ready.

Deals are starting to pop up. Canadian Tire 15-20% off Mastermind 30% off hidden side and lego movie 2 The Bay BOGO 50% off https://www.walmart.ca/en/toys/lego/N-11+12+36+110+1019588+10000041

One piece of advice...if this is something that you're worried about, talk to a lawyer who actually litigates tax cases. You seem to be working from a very textbook view of the law, which is fine as long as you don't have to step into court or an administrative proceeding to actually defend the conclusions that you reach. Once you cross that threshold, things can often play out very differently than the way they should based on what the textbooks say. Practical considerations often play a much larger role in driving the outcome of disputes than they should or than you would think they would based on textbook learning.

CMF boxes are not sealed anymore. The only way that you can ensure a "sealed" CMF box is that is if it is still in the brown box. If you received it this way, then it is brand new, never touched.

More importantly... can't believe I missed out on $63 Creeper Mines. I have been trying to keep an eye out for a discount on these, guess I need to keep two eyes out. UPDATE: Checked immediately after posting this and got a couple at $63, thanks!

I love me some 2nd chance offers...as a buyer. I would feel bad for not paying attention for something I wanted or regretted how low my last bid was....couple days later I get that wonderful email offering it to me at that low price (now it feels like a real special deal). The psychology of this stuff is amazing...and unfortunately ownz me.

Coming Jan 1, 2021 supposedly.

The Mario 2021 sets are dropping 1/1/2021

another miss by LEGO..shoulda been a set of Mando and the Dude wearing Boba's armor both on their respective speeders. That pairing would have been epic with levels of iconic/SW lore (Boba armor and Anakins racer bits). add a never before seen Crait Dragon brick built and it's one of the best sets for 2021.

I remember when that used to be a $20 set, or take out the campfire and it was a battle pack.

I wanted to hate the Charger with this steering aspect, but the top steering makes it immensely more playable and fun.

I am not going to lie, I am tempted to take my legit Lego parts and make this:

Hahaha same! I saw the email, got excited, opened it... then just laughed

5/10 Missing the teleprompter

Affiliate link?? booo

my daughter was like this too initially but honestly she grew out of the Friends stuff pretty quickly... I have a similar bulk lot waiting to be dug into but not sure when we'll ever look at it. the variety of colors used in the theme is refreshing though esp when you've been used to looking looking at blacks and grays all day with Star Wars.

Probably will try for the NES online and then Assembly Square at the local store. May do more than that but those are pretty much 100% for me right now.

That's a nice haul! Friends is a hilarious line to me because it can be like gold New-in-Box but it's a great way to get cheap bricks once they are open. I've been buying up some bulk lots for my daughter (almost four). She absolutely loves building random things with the basic bricks and also helping me assemble sets and with Juniors/4+ stuff doing it by herself.

this is rumored to be a $50 set, 830 pieces. https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-technic-2021-liste/#lego-technic-42123-mclaren-senna-gtr

Free shipping on $40 Lego must be clipped in your mperks before purchase. Just prior to placing the order I see the following from Meijer: "Final price and discounts will be determined at delivery. " I haven't purchased it yet, because I'm not sure I trust it to reverse the $10 delivery fee after delivery and fear having to spend too much time on the phone with customer service trying to get the free delivery... been burned by offers applied after purchase from other retailers like this by other retailers.

For those with Meijer stores around (US Midwest), there is a nice multi-dip going on: 20% off Creator sets 10% off General Merchandise coupon Free delivery on LEGO orders of $40+ (so you can order from Meijer.com) $5 back on each $50 in gift cards (up to $50 back) $15 back on every $100 spent on toys Got some GCs for a Christmas present I need to buy anyways, then bought 31109 Creator Pirate Ship for $21.99+tax (75% off) after the above stack, plus added to my $100 total for the $15 back.

Code PICKUP10 for another 10% off. 10 of each or 10 total? 8 total for me. Will update in the order status thread whether they ship or not. These calendars usually spike really high after people remember it's past time to buy them!

The 2nd round of character packs are shown here on SAH. You can just go ahead and charge my Paypal account now, @MinifiguresPlus.

While I'm sure most European BL stores are 100% on the up and up, I have definitely had some issues with buying over there. Lots of hidden fees with dodgy wording that to me, seems hard to understand what they are trying to convey. When I ask about said fees, I have immediately received defensive and combative emails. It could very well be difference in cultures, but I find the stores hard to work with. Some probably has to do with differing shipping rules between EU and USA. I just recently bought from a store that had very grey language about Paypal fees and when I asked about them I got "you should have read the terms". Uhh, yeah, no ****, that's why I asked the question because your terms don't make any freaking sense and contradict themselves! I have definitely had orders from Europe go off without a hitch so I will keep buying from Europe if I absolutely need to but I avoid if I can. In your case you seem to have done everything you can and I would definitely keep being proactive to get your money back assuming the shipping company truly destroyed the package. Whether the seller likes it or not, they are on the hook until the package gets to you. As both a buyer and seller, I see the frustration and worry of scam from both angles but it is what it is.

I paid with Paypal and bought within the first 3 minutes. I'm not sure there is a rhyme or reason to this. We all know LEGO's website is not the best. I think that once you submit an order, a numbered ball is released. Then that ball goes through something like seen here. First ball out won't necessarily be the first one down. Spices things up for the warehouse workers as they fulfill orders.

Baby Yoda is one sick little bastard.
