I take back what I said earlier...they're still out there. Just stopped at a store a little out of the way and found another 35.

thats a lot of stock between in store and online ...  

Newbie question here. How are you guys shipping this thing other than FBA?  What's the average shipping cost on these beasts?

I'm staying out for these guys ... cost a lot to ship out of Hawaii and I'm sitting on a few from 2 years ago still.  I'm only trying to sell locally to save on shipping and fees.  This set wont last 15 minutes here at our Walmarts.  Everyone here is looking for a break.

Debating going to the store that's five minutes from where I am sitting right now and maybe picking up one for myself. Parts are debatable for the MOCs I'm working on now. Lol. Depends how lazy I am.

Yep. Get your life preservers ready for the flood...

Looks like both msrp $49.99...

Hmm weird, they weren't marked as $49.99 in stores. All were marked closer to $39.99 except for the Gorilla and the Friends one. Felt kind of cheesy to call it a doorbuster when it's only like $10 off...

I got time capsule to put all in for future generations to play....

I ony scooped 1 for a present

 

Same store I always go to just didn't seem as motivated to gobble them up this year.  Was able to get 22. Next 2 stores were out same as last. 

SoCal Walmart neat me still has 30 left. As of 7:20 PST

Which one?

In Colton. Have at it. Only took 4.

A little too far south of me, but good to know. Thanks. These didn't last in my neck of the woods.

Yea I would've got more. But I'm just visiting the area for turkey day.

Yes...I think I've got about 77 between online and in-store purchases over the past 24 hours.  Wasn't planning on getting that many, but I've never lost money on a brick box at this price.

Everyone should experience it at least once.

Last year, I strolled up to the palette of 10697s and threw 10 into the cart and checked out 1.5 hours before the official Black Friday start.

This year, however, they seemed a lot more organized.
I was waiting nearby behind 4 customers who seemed to be in cahoots with each other!
When asked if they were eyeing the Lego, they said they couldn't tell me!  Crazy!
When time came and the plastic wrap dropped, they pushed ahead with their carts to the stack of 10697.
I was right behind but on the side of the palette with Duplos!  UGH!
Behind taller than they were, I reached over and started grabbing two 10697s at a time.
It was a madhouse but I was calm... I paced my breathing... It was an adrenaline rush!

I ended up with 8 10697s and two chipped fingernails... one severely.
What a rush!

Going to F5 Walmart.com for the next few hours...
... last year I was able to order a good handful online!

Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE!
Gobble, gobble!

Yep, that sounds crazy!

Just got back from 4 months on the other not so fun side of the world to find this craziness.  I got eight of them and am seriously thinking of getting more , that's 12000 bricks in just a few minutes.....the Brickpicker madness returns!

Walked into Walmart this morning and got 20 - there's still plenty in a lot of stores
