Triple dip on promos in store today. 20% sale still on. May go back tonight.

Man, banner day around here, book of monsters, more Dickens, and most notably: my Disney castle from Zavvi showed up in a double box, with a free years supply of air pillows!

Curious how in-store stocks are holding up since it seems that many online sources are drying up -- good for resellers and any of us LLQF's LEGO SAH makes it easy to breakdown by price and what's in stock (once you eliminate the items that are not buildable sets -- i.e. STEM kits, EV3 modules, etc... that still show in the list even though you specify "Sets" in the filter). Here's their status (US market) as I measured: Price Range, Sets Available, As a Percent >$100: 18, 23% $75 to $100: 13, 19% $50 to $75: 17, 26% $25 to $50: 27% (stopped screening buildable sets, and just divided available into avail+sold out+backordered) <$25: 36% (includes key chains, dots, etc...) So, looking at the serious sets >$50, that's less than 50 sets across all themes. If SAH is the canary in the coal mine, I would expect the other B&M retailers to sell out soon. I suppose on another positive note, it should be easy to identify the turds I'll add some of the B&M online stocks: Amazon ("LEGO", sold by Amazon.com, building sets, Prime eligible, LEGO Brand): 313 sets, 104 over $50*** Walmart ("LEGO", retailer Walmart.com, building sets and toys, Deliver to Home eligible): 281 sets, 77 over $50*** Target ("LEGO", building sets, shipping available): 334 sets, 93 over $50*** *** Note: doesn't include sets on sale <$50 that are RRP >$50 I'll try to update this list again every few days to see how the supply is holding up.

well meant to post here and cross posted any ways I spent $300 on lego at my store, got 2 Christmas Carol, 2 Ice Skating Rink, several Christmas Tree Poly's and the Gift Wrap package plus items on sale

Right along the lines of "cash." What else would you give me? Goats?

On a separate note if you still have the 2016 LEGO store calendar that was given out as a VIP promo you can now finally use the December page that had the dates misprinted. I remember they sent out or included correction stickers but since I don't do stickers I still have mine.

If I buy something that turns out to be a dud, I just sell it at market and move on. Just like Stocks, can't be right 100% of the time. I would advise the person who posted that to suck it up, learn from it and move on.

I gently persuaded some Star Wars into my cart and it still appeared.

Only 12 in this series. Seems like an overall easy series to smoosh for the most part. The dolphin and horse's ass should be particularly easy to find.

They’re buying it because they like creepy LEGO builds.

Its a slippery slope.

The volume is INSANE. I priced my stuff high like normal and even before black friday I was repricing higher. Small sets are hitting 50$ easy and some pushing 100$. I had about 50 extra large boxes of Lego's left. Figured the quantities I sent in would be too much. Super wrong. I'm digging deep on everything I have. I've started sending in next years investments. I'd send them all if i wasn't blocked on most of them 😕 I'm also really tired. 5th straight day of 200+ packages and I can't take off work. Considering a new career choice...

I’m all over this set, if only there was something worthwhile to buy at the moment.

As long as you order something else with it they still send the promo if it was canceled from their end, and not a requested cancel by you. They did add a $4.95 shipping charge on my orders as it no longer reached the $35 minimum for free shipping... but as long as the promo arrives I'll just consider that the cost of doing business.

For reference, I have Oct 15 shipments that aren't yet live and ones from Nov 21 that are live.

People that are buying Olaf aren't buying it for a perfect box.

Fair, just wanted to make sure we didn't Tanya Harding this sweet Nancy Kerrigan.

when you want to buy to get the ISR, and you have a VIP reward, and a VIP voucher, but there is NOTHING in stock.

Nice Job! Some have said their stores had put away the C.D. promo and wouldn't allow the double up with Rink. I was hoping for a small window for both last night on the SaH site but no go. And little tree of course store only.

Amazon said December 1 for the US. https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=G201637520&language=en_US

I started keeping a spreadsheet for S&H in July and still keep getting cancelled orders. It's a pain since I can't remember every set I've ever bought. There have been some resets (with Brickheadz for sure) because I have previously had cancelled orders, but it's a guessing game on a lot of sets. It takes 30 minutes to place an order trying to figure out what I can buy and get to $150. Six to 12 different items sometimes with one of them being a landmine.

"Serious buyer" on Craigslist.

Honestly maybe not a rep yet. But I kept reading around that as it was apparently sitting for sale and not selling out it was a turd. I would have grabbed all I could to relive their concerns but listing for me said out of stock. Assumption turd. Hey that could be a band name:)

And if the rumor is true that there is no stock for a few months we may see another opportunity in the near term.

most definitely not a qf opportunity like nebbie and tasky but will certainly be profitable a few years down the road. This will age like a fine wine so not for the short sighted;^)

Should retire next year. If not then the year after that. Either way it only needs to raise $50 above msrp to double your money at that price. All the technic motorcycles do above average so this should kill it. Edit: Not to mention I'd rather have a stack of these at 30% of verses a stack of Tree Houses that folks paid full price for and have to wait at least another year. 🤣😂🤣

There was nothing on the website about it. Had a max of discounted sw action sets topped with some ninjago to get the rink and the pod with gift set appeared

Skating rink stacks with SW pod reward 6222893 and gift wrapping set.

it’s not worth it paying full price for the sets... especially since all that’s left on the lego site is a couple of bones after being ravaged by BF shoppers

If you slap $60 of star wars in your cart the pod magically appears

I tend to agree because it's the most appealing to me, but on the other hand it is Technic. The orange one really didn't do anything until Covid hit -- although the $150 price point helps.

thanks guys for the advice what is amazing is the new Ferrari I think looks even superior to the Porsche and I think it looks very good for what it is worth amazon is down to about 700 of the beetle, moving quickly and target, Walmart, bn and lego are out on the fence if I want one but it is last call for the beetle I really would like a full size to put with my mini beetle as a set

I was going for subtle...but yeah...w/ the soon to release Ferrari of the same scale...this super car line is high on appeal to collectors and being the first one is a premium position.

i have one right now that has been pending for 4 days, it happens. Amazon will give the buyer the chance to make any necessary adjustment needed to complete the payment. it will drop off at some point or just post to be shipped. patience grasshopper

in for pair of tumblers.

excellent not Star Wars thank you I can pass lol

This is odd, a few of the sets that were showing up on Target as Cyber Week Sales at 40% off are now showing full price. And this happened within the last hour.

treehouses will do quite well as its out of everywhere at least in the USA. plenty of time to flip before restock

Thank you !

I have never received a damage set from LEGO and rarely get damaged sets from Amazon and Target, despite 8 to 10X the number of sets ordered. YMMV.

And it's definitely a fight...They just beat you down until you say F' it. But, $1800 is worth fighting for. Ok, sorry I derailed us. Back to Deals. lol

I stopped ordering from them. Too many damaged boxes, too many orders that took weeks to ship. They lost my business and for a few bucks of savings, I'll go with customer service and reliability from target, walmart, amazon.

Thanks for this! Did anyone try multiple orders and how did it go?

If I had $1.50 for every time someone used the "dumb move" line regarding Lego retirements... well, I wouldn't have to sell Lego anymore.
