F 'em! What gets me is they whine about me sweeping the shelf in the clearance section when the LEGO set has been available for 6 months. They are upset at me for trying to make a buck when they hesitated, trying to save a buck?!? Even with new releases. I don't get any early access, being a reseller. They can drag their lazy ass off the couch and buy when the product is available, the same as me. But no, they want their sleep AND still be able to whine about not getting the item. And let's look at what they are whining about. Is it needed medical supplies? Is it food needed for subsistence? No, it's a luxury item. So their little Johnny or Jane won't have it under the tree this year. Boo hoo. So what? Maybe it's time to teach the little heathen that: 1. They don't get everything that they want. 2. Life is about disappointments. 3. Your parents are lazy pricks that would rather blame me for their woes than to inconvenience themselves to buy the items when they are released. I'm 60 years old and I find that, as I grow older, I hate people more and more. F 'em! Oh, and karma is a made-up concept that some sad-sack invented to try to make a more motivated person feel bad. If karma was real then how would you explain all the wealthy politicians in Washington?

This time of year is when I’ll put about 100 different sets on my local Facebook buy / sell groups, but I have certain criteria I like to use to decide what to list. I rarely list sets still available in stores, and I try to keep the price points at $100 or less. There aren’t too many people looking to spend face value on highly sought after expensive retired sets on marketplace in my experience. It’s a great place to unload the small to medium sized sets that I acquire during my Walmart clearance runs. Those are perfect for gift giving, St. Nick, or stocking stuffers. I list them below the Amazon and eBay going rates, and a lot of times below retail. I’m still making 50-70% margin on average with no fees, shipping, or return hassles on a cash sale. Yes, you get your occasional weirdo or no show, but don’t take things personally. It’s part of the gig. I’ve developed several local repeat customers over the past few years. I’ll still list the big stuff too here & there just to draw attention to my other listings, but it has to be retired and out of stores. People don’t take kindly to “scalping” in those groups. Just read the comments in any PS5 listing. I rarely quick flip on Facebook, although I did just flip my extra Home Alone set for $405 last week. There are always exceptions, but I tread carefully in those scenarios. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Brickpickers, please DM me on here (with the link to the item and seller profile) whenever you see a suspicious looking Lego listing on Walmart.com going forward. We are working to identify and de-list all bad actors in toys and games there this season. You can send non-Lego links too if clearly suspicious.... Pretty much as soon as we identify the bad actor we can have them banned, so keep em coming as they pop up.

So my second package arrived today. So now I have all 7 counterfeit sets in my possession. I filed a mail fraud report with USPS online. I contacted Walmart again and told them I refused to send the counterfeit items back to the seller and I wanted a full refund. They made me contact the seller and I have to wait 48 hours for them to respond. Tonight I filed a police report locally just so it’s on record. Cop said “we'll, I've never filled out a report for counterfeit items before”. Then he started telling me how cool Lego is now “you know, they have castles and cars now”. He literally said that. 😂 so now I’ll wait 48 hours to see what, if anything, the seller says.

PREACH!

TADA !!!! https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/01/toys-r-us-to-open-flagship-store-at-american-dream-megamall.html

Maybe Amazon will price match.

Karma bites douchebags in the @ss too.

I was feeling a little Highlander-ish tonight. Didn't know Freddy Mercury passed 30 years ago last week. Things you learned from Youtube comments section

Been at this price before but LEGO Ideas Tree House 21318 for $169.99 at walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Ideas-Tree-House-21318/835634790

Sold my Light Saber to pay for my vacuum

I think the code has changed. It's Defender. https://us.zavvi.com/toys-lego/lego-technic-land-rover-defender-collector-s-model-car-42110/12041913.html For me, it's a hit and miss scenario with Zavvi.

Those Amazon buyers be getting jipped 😂🤦‍♂️

Great - thanks

feedback history, all lego for the last year lots of gwp from the previous promotions

Target Circle 10% off your Target GiftCard purchase up to $500. Valid 12/4-12/5.

Lego Creator Roller Coaster in store. Finally just felt the FOMO and seeing Sold Out online pushed me in-store to snag one.

Yeah, had father in law buy one on taobao. When I was asked if I wanted more, I said "oh no, one is fine." I recorded that I paid around $59 for it. lol.

The only thing that would help is Lego calling up Walmart and shutting this down. They have the leverage to force Walmart to shut down these companies systematically and they have a brand value to protect.

What are you talking about? This is an awesome customer experience! CLICK annnnnnnnnd.....

I guess we are learning 3rd Party from Walmart is b%#%sh!t.

Two examples: Target - three sets shipped; all arrive in their own boxes with air pillows. 2/3 arrive damaged. *sigh* Kohl's - four sets shipped; smallest two arrive in a box. Largest two arrive in the same garment bag - both smashed. Seriously, why do these companies ship LEGO in bags?! *sigh*

Because Target is a pain in the ass. They want your business, but don't want to make it easy to work with them. Their 3rd party API people hate working with them so they don't support their tools and they offer 0% commission for sending people to their site to buy stuff from them. Walmart is a close 2nd.
