My only issue with buying big sets from Walmart is their terrible shipping.

Some consider Walmart a questionable reseller.

Maybe so, but I really don't see the reason to knock a solid deal when there are so few of them.  

In honor of all this excitement, I will put together my $120 Walmart clearance UCS tie I got a few weeks ago tonight (open damaged box- all bags sealed)

I'm not knocking it, it is a good deal.  But I also don't deal with Walmart due to their terrible shipping practices.  I can get just as good a deal later in the life cycle of this set and not have to deal with them.  Simple as that.

I think this is maybe changing. Between the Barnes thing, this thing and that EU lawsuit, I think something is happening...

Yeah, I was trying to figure out who's knocking it too?  I just know I can get a better deal elsewhere and it will also fit my investing lifecycle better.  This floated some boats, obviously.  We shared the deal early this morning in the Daily Deals and folks were excited.

Thanks for the link. I ordered two in separate boxes so they don't get smashed. Hopefully they won't arrive with stickers on them.

No biggie.  Let's move on, but I will leave you with this......BrickPicker Rule #52:  Never question a deal...with a hypothetical deal..that Jeff or I says is a good deal... and has an affiliate link.  That is all...

Ed did say that the ban on discounts expired end of 2015.

Sorry not near desktop. Should've said, fine not lawsuit. Type "Germany fines Lego" in Google.

Did not know this.  Good news if it comes to fruition.

Passing on the Walmart deal. UCS Tie will retire in 3 years and who the hell knows where Lego reselling will be in 2020.

This deal was posted 7 hours ago here and from SD originally. Not sold out yet, so it's either the name and email address has scared some away or it's too early to collect...

They cancelled my 2nd order. First order says processing.

This is Walmart's version of 3x vip Points.

Oh if only it were still 2010 and the horde didn't exist.

Has anyone got the Walmart deal to go through?
Been Cancelled twice
