So, is this like saying, "I'm not driving to Cleveland for it?"

So, do you live way out in Wales somewhere or Northern Ireland???         I'm willing to drive a reasonable distance, but I ain't going that far from middle England.

Very Sherlock of you Barry. Yes I do live in Northern Ireland. I nipped over the boarder to the Republic just before Christmas and got 2 for £115 apiece. 

Looks like Gateshead have some low stock in store for click and collect. Too far for me but maybe not for someone else.

Edit - And it's now sold out at Gateshead, so someone must have snapped that up

Seems to be in stock for home delivery NI currently!

Note: You can add it to your basket if you switch to the ROI website but your delivery address needs to be Ireland.

Sold mine for $295 today. Buyer left a note to "Take care of the box so it doesn't get damaged and so the seals don't break, im buying this for my son as a gift."

Because sealed boxes are what every kid looks for before building a set...

^maybe his/her son is a QFLL

I contacted my friend who is regional manager for target.  He stated that based on the agreement with the vendor, a salvaged item could either be donated or destroyed.  He states that based on the name in order to preserve brand integrity, they would not be allowed to donate items as then they would show up at goodwill and lower the brand name.  He says food, clothes, and seasonal items typically get donated.  The rest it is a tossup.  

I am betting lego wants to preserve the brand, and likely has them destroyed.   

 

No and no.  The tumblers will live on for someone else to sell...

Wonder why there is a need to BS? Seems like only newbies will be shy to admit to being a lego reseller?

In other news the 5 I ordered from target over the weekend came today. I was expecting the worst as I thought these could be returns but all 5 were great and probably my best 5 I have. Go fiqure.

Exactly.  If I've hit my exit number, and you want to buy from me, I don't care what you do with it.  I'm ready to exit.  If you want to resell after me, hoping for bigger profits - go for it.

i guess some sellers change their mind because other re-sellers want to buy their lot

That show lost my viewership.......over a year between seasons is asinine. Plus season one wasnt that good anyway. Sorry this didn't answer your question but I have been looking to vent this for some time now

uh oh... damn you Target dont mess with my heart!

I believe late February for the standard 10-episode run. The first season wasn't great for sure, but had to lay some groundwork as to how Saul became Saul. I thought the last few episodes were pretty good but it's got a lot of work to do if it is going to make it another year.

Got one from Target today.  Excellent condition.  That will go to the winner of the Batman Bundle.

same here.  of the 8 recently ordered sets, only 3 were in "below avg" shape. nevertheless, ii think some buyers in 2+ years will want to build this and box condition won't be as important.  some of these buyers even might forgo the large box to save on postage costs.

my tumbler from smyths has arrived, 27s5, the previous ones I got from Smyths was 37s5, so not sure if it means anything that the new Del is older stock?

Got mine delivered as well earlier today. Same seal code as yours. Also ordered one on a click and collect from a local-ish store this morning so will pick that up tomorrow. Could be returns or bits of stock dripping in to a very few stores as of the last 2 days. I'll let you know if my click and collect looks like a return or not tomorrow.

Hopefully these havn't been hoarded over here anywhere near the levels they seem to have in the US as they disappeared quite quickly. Pickers in the UK may benefit slightly from this with shipping costs prohibiting potential buyers down the line from ordering from the US instead of at home etc. I have no idea really though

Yes I have a couple of addresses in the ROI but I just bought a new car and wanted to take it down the motorway for a spin. The Euro is good value to the pound at the minute so if i can find a sale then it is extra good,
