Barnes has some 25% off sets, some retired but it does not stack with membership 10%. I feel like the value of the membership has been diminishing for the past year, seems like much less sales and stamps promotions than previous years.
Doesn't help you now but this is precisely why I don't use USPS until the 4th quarter or as a last resort. Too much incompetence and lack of accountability. They will wear you out until you give up.
I have a Bricklink store but I have never opened it or really done much with it. Lately I have been organizing , adding parts and getting all of the necessary ducks in a row. This is setting me back a little bit as I think it might be best for me to wait till the dust has settled .
The move is a bullshit one for larger stores that have worked to build a name for themselves. I have over 2000 business cards with my name on it and now they expect me to change my name?!? To change my avatar? LEGO would be better suited worrying about Pantasy, Lumibricks, etc instead of exerting control over sellers.
If you're wondering why so many of the 2024 (and some 2023) retirements are still suppressed and/or not showing a BB on AMZN, look no further than B&N. They put zero effort in search to drive traffic to their site. Some really popular sets still selling for RRP.
Most are alternate ( European listings ) aside from the GWP and store exclusives. I don’t see it as the sky is falling. No need to pay me for my seminar either
There are a few more sets

I did not hold any expectations aside from being large. It is neat for a possibly wall mounted collection of dioramas ....that we kind of already have from over the years individually. This is the sort of build I might expect to see at a Brickfair as a habitat showcasing all the well-known scenes of the Death Star within the homage of one. I wonder what the backside looks like. Also, where is the hot tub at? Haha.
At least it is different from the previous iterations ....while simultaneously doing the same thing.
I am certainly not the market for this (and still a cheap ass penny pinching son of a brick).
It's okay, just not for me.
My City Space Station was shipped without a shipping box as well, with a $74 WM clearance sticker on it, a "destroy" tag, one seal broken, but the contents were pristine.
