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.

I'm guessing you would then get an email asking you to update your payment method due to a problem with it...

Few notable restocks LEGO Shop at Home Winter Fire Station Droid Commander 20% off + Skating rink Ninjago restocked a bunch of stuff ADD: Sesame Street

It’s called weaponized autism in my circles. A valuable commodity not to be ridiculed.

And praise the Lord that they are putting it to good use! Keep up the awesome work. Thank you!

Noooooooo

The idea was to see how much variety was available at various stores -- not necessarily what was happening to any one particular set. So, a two sets might come in stock, and one might go out of stock -- so the count would increase by one. LEGO SAH has pricing tiers to judge how the more valuable sets may be holding up. The other three B&M stores I'm tracking is split for $50 and above to weed out the low-end stuff and most of the non-buildable sets that may not be in high-demand during the holidays. The idea being, the levels are already pretty low, and will they go lower? If so, the supply/demand would favor the reseller for the next few weeks. I just find the numbers interesting -- we sometimes tend to focus on particular sets or how things "seem" and I like to put some quantitative numbers on it. My real job is in engineering so that's what I do. Drives my wife crazy most of the time

tried a small lego order from two weeks ago's banned target account, just shipped. Ho ho ho

This is the way

Oh yeah and instead of gently placing it into the box, you can Jordan it from across the room. (or you young folk can yell Kobe, but you don't miss when you yell Jordan) $150 on what? Educational Lego... no thanks

i love hot cakes.

Shrimp Shack Attack $30.96 + 10$ GC https://www.walmart.com/nco/LEGO-Hidden-Side-Shrimp-Shack-Attack-with-free-10-Walmart-Gift-Card/629874356

Ok, we need someone to create a listing for the Harley Davidson Travel Tumblers.

Dang, that's gonna give your doctor a full day's work.

unlike other retailers, Amazon will send you a warning letter before banning you

Costco

To be fair, this is the only problem I have had since September. Everything else works more or less like Paypal, except I do not have to login to Paypal to transfer money, deal with disputes, etc etc

I created secondary listings, rare, variant.

First Zavvi Bugatti came in today in the orginal lego shipping container. Hopefully the rest will match.

next time a warning would be appreciated. the kids are rolling on the floor laughing ..

No doubt that it’s sealed. SNAD is a toss up here but you’re likely looking at accepting a return plus the cost of shipping and then there’s the issue if the buyer used a hair dryer and resealed it with mega blocks and dirty socks putting you in the position of having to break the seals in order to inspect it.

I usually wait for xeeej to do it, maybe he's off this week.

Another 3 diner's canceled. Another 3 sets of promos in the warehouse. Each time it comes back, the limit resets. To everyone: You'll notice in your order history that if you're not above the $35 free shipping threshold that you're going to be hit with a $4.95 shipping charge. Don't be a fool and call about it and bring attention to this. Just eat the $4.95 as the cost of business.

In the mail

I haven’t seen anything with those numbers. I remember when the second series came out, there was a big gap in numbers that was eventually back filled. My list goes up to 114. Given the recent contest to pick Brickheadz #150, it looks like we will be getting quite a few more.

Not a deal but 75288 AT-AT back in stock @ LEGO Shop at Home. Qualifies for 3 gwps including the ice rink, vader pod and that silly holiday gift set.

I'm just really super confused by this thread. Can someone walk me thru it using specific sets as examples?

I tried an order for shipping on Nov 24th after being banned on Jun 17th. Still got insta-cancelled. They might have levels of suspension. I'm guessing I'm at the "F-off, reseller scum" level -- about $20k in LEGOs over a 60-day period. So you're telling me, there's a chance!!!

With MP + eBay store, total fees is 11.5% for most categories. Since the % is applied to total purchase including tax, you likely pay more fees overall. There should be a math formula to figure out the difference and the thresholds, but I am too lazy to come up with one right now Same with Amazon

Glad to have you back on the corner looking for work.

30% off select sets at B&N. Nothing too gripping but the Juniors 10764 is already retired https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/30-off-select-lego-sets/_/N-2v36?Ns=P_Sale_Price|1

definitely less than 12 parsecs

with all the product oos, I think its safe to think Lego will have plenty of these to go around come "christmas in july"

Apollo Lunar Lander is available (you all know you can sign up to receive emails when something comes back in stock, right?). Dang, that was what I wanted to buy to get the skating rink and instead bought other stuff. Now I've got TWO $150+ orders to explain to the spouse...

Maybe they are getting their last shipment on that date? Maybe it'll be around for 10 years. This is TLG's world, and we are just living in it.

What's the chances that websites listing th as not retiring is not correct vs lego website is incorrect. I'd take my chances with the lego page and delist my stuff rather than clear it prematurely.

Imagine if this thing would have gone eol this year without a remake. Just imagine.

Choo Choo go poof

All the Jurassic World sets I bought on clearance in the spring are selling like hot cakes now. I raise the price $20 after each sale and they keep flying.

Sounds like you had it too low in the first place. Are you... that guy?

We're counting cards...Ya...We're counting cards.

Cost of doing business. On Amazon a buyer can open the set, build part of it, trash the retail box and throw it all back in the shipping box and return it.

Going for 280 FBM. Expensive to ship this one.

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

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

Thanks! I didn't pick up any when this was first released since I didn't like it that much. But at $33, I picked up a couple from Walmart this morning. It was a limit of 2, but I guess you can place multiple orders.

Finally got the 2020 SW advent calendar. Why was this year’s so hard to find?! Reduced production or just pandemic + SW interest? Sold out everywhere in Canada. In any case, the tradition continues!

Go to "Payments" tab, and on the left side click "Reports". You should be able to download transaction report as csv file for a specific range of time. The report has detailed breakdown of fees for each transaction. Although it does not have Item Name, just Item ID Everyone should send Comments to eBay asking them to add Item Name to these reports. Use the "Comments" link on the upper right of the page. They should be able to add Item Name very easily to the reports and if everyone send them a message they might do it quickly too
