I'm sure some are over buying, knowing they'll be receiving damages too...

*Raises hand*

I'm not going crazy here but Target CS has been terrible to deal with in the past getting replacements.  I ordered a couple more today in hopes that they can replace two of the damaged ones.  If not I'll stop where I'm at and call it a day.

Just opened another one from Target.
All 6 seals were opened.  Time to print another return label.
Picked the box up and all the bags came...... Tumbling Down.

Being done weeks/months ago may not have been a bad thing.

Why not keep it and ask for a refund.  I got 10% off of mine.  If you sell it, you can guarantee nothing is missing

I'll return it and order another one.
I see the UPS guy everyday anyways.

Maybe they'll hold them for investment.

I'm surprised they're not already $263.99

 It's time for an inventory adjustment now at 949 

Unless you're just buying a couple, why return them since they are disappearing?? Easy flip no matter the condition of the box in short time.

eBay desktop says 1366 units eBay mobile says 949 units

who knows

Im brand new to the lego trade, I picked up 3, Fingers crossed! Hope its not a waste

lol we cant get enough of those reject beat up boxes and missing parts over here.

Target do a international version of their website that us uk'rs can use but they won't sell us Lego, or at least this set, when I tried.

Might be able to get it sent to a forwarding company. But by the time vat gets added by customs, the cost of shipping, fees etc its going to be expensive.

most buyers only use freight forwarding companies if multiple sets are being built at the same time. 

wondering how many units went to end builders.

and

how many went with us

Yeah you're right... but the real question is how many makes it worth while.. At $199.99 after VAT fees by customs takes it to aprox £165/set £5 over MRRP. That's before any fees for shipping. On a large scale it probably would be worth it, but I don't have that type of money to put into one Lego set. 

Expeicially if I have to pay fees to the forwarding co to send half the sets back because they are pancakes! 

Well, I've held off until today to buy my first Tumber. Picked up two from Target today. 

Just to give a little hope to all the Target Tumbler orderers, got three in today from Target and all were mint 41R5. Well packed, mucho pillows.

MUSTTTT RESISTTTTT........

I was going to order 1 more from Target, but then I bailed out on that idea because the last 2 I got were opened up.  I returned both and figured if I buy more, they are just going to be shipping back out the returns.  This is good news!

I'm thinking more along the lines of getting caught up in the horde mentality.

Making money. I really hope you guys don't think you'll be able to buy it and quick flip.
