Posted this video on another thread but I felt it needed its own thread. At 2:26, he mentions a UCS tumbler coming soon!!! 

No idea where thebrickshow got that info from but I'd love to see pictures of it soon! 

 

 

Ship to store has produced better results for me, we shall see

Exactly, when you get your Tumbler that was shipped without a box and just had FedEx labels applied directly to it, show me pics of how you fixed it with a hair dryer.

That's why I'm choosing store pickup. So I could inspect the condition and return it immediately if needed.

Keep in mind that you have 90 days to return it. This affords you time to secure your replacement.

It's all I have.  I keep refreshing the deals thread only to find a few more Tumblers coming in stock @ Smyths. We need a Smyths here in Cali

Man you guys have way too much money if you're still deal-starved.

I am so tapped out it's not even funny.

Well, not so tapped out i won't pick up some retired Architecture sets with Gift card and 10% member discount at B&N,,,,,,,,but i mean, i can't NOT buy them right?

Does the blow dryer reconstitute boxes destroyed in shipping? That would be (one of) my concern(s) with WM and large exclusives. I received a TH fall of 2014 that looks as if an elephant tap danced on it.

Don't think (though I have not tried) to fix a box with a blow dryer! When I first started this hobby I order ONCE from Walmart. Got a set with a huge piece of box print torn plus a nice hole in it. Decided Walmart is not my cup of tea when it comes to ordering. Sounds like Target is a stiff competitor in the damaged shipping department as well.

Yeah. But I'm not a bulk seller, at least not one right now. Only want to keep a really nice condition one in box and built one myself to display

You just supported my point.

Well, yes, I'm tapped out too. I spent my entire budget on buying Lego sets during the rush of October - December.  

But... the rush of getting great deals on sets you wanted to buy anyway is something I'm missing now. That rush... It's addictive...  

Already had about 7 accounts banned lol. I use different bank accounts/address's and scatter the orders about, including time spacing the actual order to make it harder for people to investigate. Been doing this since about 3 years ago when they started banning folks in the good old USA. Plus added bonus you get a load of the freebies. Although keeping track of orders does get very annoying

What a guy...we need you here in a Middle East.

My tumbler that I ordered arrived today from smyths, the delivery box was even taped closed (the flaps were just open) and the box looked like Mike Tyson had a dealing with it, with the whole of the front bashed in. Gonna keep it though as its an excuse to build it haha. Still got my other 2 for selling further down the line. Worries me how many are around though...

As long as they stop selling them over here in the UK after this Smyths run is over in a week or so (hopefully) I think we're gonna be all good over here. My only worry is if they for some reason do another production run or something and release another load into the market given the recent 'interest' in them post retirement. Barring that, It should be a real winner I reckon

Yeah, the rush is both addictive and expensive. Ha

Damage in shipping from Amazon.  Would you return it or attempt an exchange (worry since I assume they will just say out of stock)?  Annoying this is the second very poorly packed box by Amazon resulting in damage (other was on SW set).  Other than this seals intact.

Ask for exchange but if they have none in stock just keep it. Shouldn't make a massive difference, and will still appreciate substantially even with the damage. Since its EOL I still think in that condition it's work keeping.

I don't think this is big deal to sell

Nothing to really worry about at this point of the set's retail life.

That's a keeper in my book.

at this point in the tumbler game, you'd be crazy to not keep it.   this is pretty minor and i'm a total box queen.  6 months ago - sure i'd return it.  now is not 6 months ago.

You would not like to see some of the SSD's I got from Walmart...

323 and climbing on amazon.  39 sellers till it hits 400.

Good luck to our European friends. I hope that brief window of availability actually shipped for you. Has anyone gotten shipping confirmation?

And you are glad you kept them aren't you.

Better believe it...

Amazon has corrected this issue.  They have the best customer service I have ever worked with!

I still don't get the box issues. These aren't baseball cards.  As long as it's not smashed and or rips in the box I see no problem.

To me it's if I am purchasing something new online I expect it to arrive in new condition as if I purchased off the shelf at retail.  The two boxes I have received damaged over the past week were obviously due to inadequate/improper packing.  A couple air bubble packing on each end would most likely have prevented any damage at all.
