Just received four frozen sets, individually bubble wrapped, with an appropriate amount of air pack filler as well. Way to go, Kohl’s! Definitely beats the last set shipped as a pancake in a bag

Lol, are those regular rubber bands?  Importantly, are you free of frustration?

Frustration.

Yes, they are rubber bands holding the box together.   Full of frustration.  This should have been 3 Castle's and I only rx'd one and the order only shows 1 tracking #.

 

Oof. May have done better with a label slapped on the box.

Are those tire treads?

I don't think so but I am not sure what they came from

From Lego repacked by FedEx. Never a good sign. The Tantive in the box had been opened and 4 bags plus the instructions are missing. I emailed Lego. We shall see what happens.

This one came from Target, clearly damaged from before it was even thrown in the shipping box with the rest. Seems to be complete so may keep it anyway... or at least until it comes back in stock

It's definitely a skid mark.  The question is from what or whom?

Instead of the slave 1 from target that I ordered, I got a box of baby wipes...😠

It's never a good sign when the package is smaller than what you ordered...

At first I was upset that Best Buy would ship an item to me in this condition (listed as new) but then I saw it was inspected by RDC725 and the product was verified as "good".  Thanks Len Howell!

Len is good people, served with him in demolitions back in 'Nam.  They always let him pick first...you should have seen the other ones.

When we were young, punk kids, Len and I both worked for the same travelling carnival.  I ran the merry-Go-Round and he ran the Ferris Wheel.  But we really didn't know each other.  We moved in different circles.

I thought he ran the whack-a-mole game.

Not sure who Len is; clearly that reads Will.  Will’s motto: you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you have to pick the most trashed LEGO box first...

So I received a star wars droid commander in a box too small for it and the stress caused the actual box to split. The twist is it's not even the set I ordered, it's supposed to be the new mindstorms. 

Local Target Pickup

Yep. Stopped doing Target pickups as they do something similar to me every time. 

I would have provided some in person feedback.

You should have just touched the pickup staff with that long grim reaper finger.

Death, is that you? If so, please kill the Tree House.

Lol, I know, I was thinking the same thing when I uploaded that pic.

Good ole Vip Outlet sent me a space port wrapped in a black trash bag with no outer box. They also failed to give me the 20% that they have going on right now. You, too, can receive such amazing service by using the code Santa20 at checkout on “brand new” items that are likely only useful as personal builds.
