Loving the new boxes Kohls is using. I know someone mentioned this a few days ago as well. Minty fresh every time!

usually the missing units will show up on their own within 2 to 3 months if you can wait. You are eligible to request reimbursement up to 9 months from Amazon receiving the shipment. If you do submit the paperwork and dont agree with the value then you have 90 days to appeal

Still not touching that one, I’m being so much more selective than ever before. The market has changed for the negative so absolutely much, we are finally starting to see supply outpace demand on a lot of retired sets. Amazon ungating so freely has been devastating for the market. I laughed when I saw the treehouses for $175. I got those for $160 two years ago during the panic. I hate that set like no other. Treehouse is my ultimate death set. By all accounts Sesame Street is going to be “expensive” the winner of this cycle. I’ve done this since 2007, it used to be so easy. You really have to look for the sets not hoarded as much now.

Free for all ungating has been the biggest disappointment. I think it was lego that put the brakes a couple of years ago. Amazon at that point grandfathered all old timers and new sellers were to seek permission at ASIN level. Wonder whatever happened to that process. Moreover holiday metric requirements were very helpful. Now, a just launched seller comes in drops price from $75 to $25 and Boom - all listings get closed due to pricing error/fair pricing etc etc.

Garbage

They're reaching waaaaay back now https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Super-Heroes-Crossbones-Hazard/dp/B01AW1R8SS/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01AW1R8SS&pd_rd_w=BrNG1&content-id=amzn1.sym.6b4ad36a-957e-4057-a8e8-ed62ce95628a&pf_rd_p=6b4ad36a-957e-4057-a8e8-ed62ce95628a&pf_rd_r=A2Y3HTHYHWP4M74ZGTE6&pd_rd_wg=rNx1U&pd_rd_r=6d2d14a7-4795-4705-bff6-0824db27b12b&ref_=dtdptb

This made me sad. Hopefully they'll run out of bags and never order more!

If they've lost an entire shipment, chances are that it has simply been misplaced and you'll get the inventory when they eventually find it. They lost an entire pallet of inventory a few years back and it took around 3 months, but it eventually showed up in my inventory. If they're only asking you to prove up units you've sold over the last 12 months, they're tightening that requirement. It used to be that you'd have to prove ownership of enough inventory to support every unit that you had sold of an item from the beginning of time until the date of the shipment...and if you're even 1 unit short, they'll deny the entire claim. The requirement is a total PIA, but makes sense if you think about it. If I've bought and sold 1000 units of a given item and decide to gin up a reimbursement claim by including another 100 units on a shipment that never show up to a FC, this requirement prevents me from using the invoices for the 1000 legit units to support reimbursement for the non-legit 100 that I'm trying to scam them on. One upshot of this type of situation can be that you can get reimbursed for the inventory AND get to sell it if it shows up well after that reimbursement has processed. I'm not sure if they've put things in place to prevent this from happening now, but I've had a few instances over the years where I got to double-dip. On one occasion, I even wrote to them to tell them they'd already reimbursed me for the inventory and they told me to go ahead and sell it.

same lady, just different mood

I had a few that skipped through the box lady and went to the bag lady.

I had the worst problems with lost units during receiving when I was started paying Amazon to label my units for me. Once I started labeling every unit myself again, my missing inventory problems declined 99%. I'm guessing it is harder to figure out whose stuff is found when it is just a UPC and not a seller FNSKU label on the items. Not sure if this matters when they are losing the contents of an entire shipment though. When I had one of those last month and they kept moving up the reconciliation date until they just marked it "closed" with no units received. I just opened an FBA case as "other" and explained the facts. They asked for an invoice and then reimbursed within a few days. Would be a major pain if it was a mixed shipment with a bunch of different receipts and invoices to submit.

This never worked for me. They wanted actual invoices and would not allow store receipts (from Walmart etc). I chose to wait for my shipments to magically appear several months later. They never asked that last part about wanting invoices from all past shipments. Why should they care about what you sent them prior to the shipment they lost?

Similar situation here. Last time this happened to me in Nov-Dec 2021 it took them almost 4 months to reimburse. By then stock had come back and they reimbursed me list price minus amazon commission = Net Loss. of about approx $30 per If they didn't lose the items, I would have made about $70 x 30 each. This was last year. Reimbursement procedures never improve over the years. They go the other way. Very apprehensive about sending to FBA this year. Shipping costs are way out of the way. I'm in the East, amazon wants me to send everything to Denver & Aurora, CO.

Sanctum Sanctorum back in stock at Target. I was able to get target to reinstate my original order. Anyone that hasn't might want to give it a try while it's in stock.

Apparently it's Prime Day 2 today. https://www.amazon.com/deal/8b8b3f5e?showVariations=true&ref=dlx_early_gd_dcl_img_253_8b8b3f5e_dt_sl7_a6

Walmart has it too but with $9 back from Honey.

Spooky's back...at least for now....

Optimus Prime is $143.99 20% off at LEG0.com. Some other sets were added to the sale section.

Got mine to work finally. Double points, 15% off rakuten, and free castaway ray set confirmed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's that time again to vote for a new mob to be added into the game.

I think this set will be a failure, sales wise. I understand how they've tried many different ways to make it work, but ultimately if it's technically not feasable, then instead of making a downsized version that not many people actually want just admit defeat and move on.

This should never have made it out of the review phase. The ideas line feels congested and diluted.

What a bizarre combination of compromises and decisions. Awful. https://brickset.com/article/82644/why-has-21337-table-football-been-scaled-down

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/table-football-21337 Holy cow. $250??? Edit: I think they went overboard on inclusivity on this one. Should have done ten bog standard figs. By including the full team of 11 on each side with tons of variations the price just got super out of hand, also the superfluous bench build to 'store' all those extra figures. I thought the Black Panther mega-bust was the biggest misstep so far this year but I think they've outdone themselves here.

Got into car accident on Sunday, airbag deployed and everything. The other driver decided to cross the road without noticing me coming in from his left. We walked out of the cars fine, seatbelts FTW. Weird how I did not feel the body aches until 2-3 days later. The biggest headache (ha!) is going to be finding a new car or even a used car to replace my CRV
