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.

Mail call today. All for my personal collection.

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 just got my Transylvania set dropped off. The UPS driver was more excited than me. : "Happy Building!" "Thanks!" "That's a Bricklink order, right?" "Yep!" "Awesome, I love it! Have a nice day!" Unexpected reaction but checks out....

Since GWPs can't be listed on Amazon anymore, the resale appeal has gone way down. I used to buy a lot of sets just to get cool GWPs to sell and offset some of the cost, but not any more. It will be interesting to see just how big of an effect this has on the future of GWPs.

This is live now on lego.com for a 2 week window (and was live for a bit on shopDisney). I'm thinking there might be a high inventory of this available and the race to the bottom could be quick? I actually want to get multiples because I like this set so I'm thinking maybe wait for direct purchase vs gwp?

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%

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

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

So much doom and gloom on this site..... On the bright side, USPS increased holidays rates start on October 5th, 2025 to January 18th, 2026. Here is your chance to help USPS stays afloat for 1 more year.... woohooo !!!

Or will it end up like this? Wasn’t this the gwp from a couple years ago? https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/magic-maze-40596
