WOOT DEAL! It won't last long! 40743 Christmas Table Decoration reg $39.99 sale $10.99 Limit 15 6-month partout is $55 https://home.woot.com/offers/lego-christmas-table-decoration-building-toy?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WX

I ended up just initiating a refund and that basically worked the same as cancelling and everything seems to be sorted out. So the guy that did this ended up doing it again to me on a different set. I did not ship the second set before the cancellation request came in so I was able to cancel after the fruitcake finally made up his mind. The first two images are from the first transaction the third image is from the second. I knew the guy was a little antsy so I didn't cancel immediately, I should have let it go all night to see how many messages he would have sent. I added him to my blocked list after I set the last message. Second transaction, he submitted a cancellation request and then sent this message.

Looks like it’s going to be a good day tomorrow, looking forward to finally getting this at a deep discount.

Saw this hilarious post on FB today: RETIRED HUSBAND After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target: Dear Mrs. Harris, Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras: 1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking. 2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals. 3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom. 4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money. 5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway. 6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area. 7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged. 8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called. 9.. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose. 10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were. 11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme. 12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels. 13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!' 14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!' And last, but not least: 15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

Disney Promo: 40774 Classic Animation Scenes gift-with-purchase, currently said to be a $130 threshold on all themes starting late October. (via a Brick Tap source)

Starting on shopdisney first

Again don't shoot the messenger on this one folks....Quite honestly not sure what to make of it GWP: 40785 Northern Lights Diorama Gift With Purchase Revealed (Mid-October Release)

That's fine. Opinions vary. It represents what is fun about Lego that is lost on the SW fanbois and resellers. By far the best Star Wars set of the year and it will be a fun decoration next to my UCS AT-AT.

Looks Nice! Promo: 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes’ Attic (GWP for Goonies set) (official reveal)

Unfortunately I don't see this getting any better. Amazon wants turnover. They are getting far more money by volume + fee's versus the small increments in pricing + storage cost. The buy box logic/unfair pricing are the primary drivers that would make me quit selling. There are many risks/reasons not too, but not being able to move product due to a systemic purposeful policy implementation is a business killer. There are so many listings that are 20-30% less profitable due to the sticky price problem which makes the business model invalid. I had thousands of the Mario Cat suit and Fire suits. I was moving hundreds a month at 40-50 and then one day. All the listings were removed and the price was stuck at 15$. With everything else it's impossible to operate a business like this on Amazon without a free market. It's not like collectibles are required medical devices the policy is stupid.

I forgot this song existed. I love the 90s, back when songs had stories to tell

The doors don’t open. That’s a fail.

That’s messed up, you need at least 7 to make a complete Death Star. Aftermarket mark-ups here I come..

In for 5

I had the “honor” of getting to see the D. Slice built in person today. You know how sometimes you are unsure about a set but once you see it in person it just wows you and you have to have it? Well, this is not that set! To be fair none of the Minifigures or the loose builds, except for the imperial shuttle, were in their display position like they probably will be once the set is in the storefront window, but wow it looked really bad to me just a big grey block of bricks. The UCS AT-AT and MILF both look awesome without minifigures. Was holding out hope that when Shop Disney has their 25% off everything sale later this year to grab one but even at $750 it’s a no deal for me.

Go to Orders -> Shipping Labels. For the order that you canceled, choose Actions. There should be a drop down with a choice to Cancel label. Then you wait 2-3 weeks for USPS to verify and refund postage. I probably should charge money for my arcane eBay knowledge

LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel 10297 back at $159.99 (replicating July prime day) @amazon

Anyone tracking this: supposedly, some sets on sale at Lego.com starting tomorrow...

I also have it for free also, if they ever offer you a free year you should take it because they give you something free every month usually around $10. My guess is that it’ll be 30% off for everyone tomorrow because it says it expires today for members.

Some good deals at Target and in the app if you have Target Circle 360, an additional 30% off some decent sets

So, 4,500 points for the tube, 500 points for the poster?

Already back ordered online and sold out at most brick and mortar. I’m surprised the resellers on here were dissing this set. It’s an exclusive, budget friendly Star Wars set that will be sold out for the holidays. Seems like a winner to me.

It would have been interesting to see the AT-AT walker in style of the holiday X-Wing from 2019 or perhaps designed in red with pearl gold trimmings for a Santa's sleigh appearance and include a modern Santa Vader (a Santa Palpatine might have been funny too). At the least they did not take the easy route of making another basic walker then sticking a pair of reindeer antlers with a red nose at the front like some inflatable yard ornament from Home Depot. This is an incredibly niche set for the holidays and unless there are some exclusive/limited pieces to the build, it's pretty much the Gingerbread Darth Vader pulling the reins here. I am not a fan of gingerbread in general yet somehow enjoy the idea in toy form or for a winter village layout. Did not realize a cookie could be so divisive, haha.

its freaking ugly. not even good for gwp. They would have done better doing with the AT AT as they did with the holiday X-Wing

Someone posted the amount of sets sold but not sure how many Lego actually made. This was the day before ordering ended for Series 6: 100% = 50K units Off-road Adventure: 43.65% sold -- The Art Factory: 59.11% sold -- Gold Mine Expedition: 53.73% sold -- Outlaw Forest Den: 85.45% -- Sequoia Tree Trail: 31.8%

Quoting myself from August since Amazon just increased fees for 2026 (check your emails). I should have opened a YouTube channel and charged people to see my predictions

Extra 30 days for returns, free 2-day shipping (with some next day), free same-day delivery on $35+ orders, monthly freebies (mine was $10 off store branded food), and premium access to sales. Seems worth the $0 price to me. Not sure it is worth anything more than that.

Rakuten back up to 15% for non-exclusives and it's last day for the Luninous Ghost GWP.

Rakuten is 15% back at Lego.com. Exclusives and Bricklink purchases only qualify for 3% however...

Setting my reminder for ordering tomorrow. outlaw forest den maybe two and a gold mine for the pile I suppose. Happy hunting.

Bout time they figured that out.

Not to mention so many Vader completionests

The "in line with your feedback" implied some bad conduct on my part. Typical Amazon BS.

I think this is so weird and don't understand why Lego would ever spend any development/production time on this. I'm not even sure I'd pay $30 for it. I find it hard to imagine that anyone down the road would feel like they missed out not getting this set at retail.

It started at 5:30 PM Beijing time, just the perfect time for Amazon's favorite sellers to join in and watch

Stacking Kohls Lego sale, $10 off $50 toys, $10 cashback for $ 50 , and also triple rewards (22.5% cashback) for members.

Smeagol and deagol back as gwp with shire.
