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

It's amazing people are still finding these in huge amounts. The few pallets my stores had were gone in within 2 minutes. Just vultures I tell ya!

Prices have plummeted as expected. I've seen ended listings for 60 with free shipping.

so basically like a 7 dollar profit after shipping, ebay and paypal fees?

Was not horrible in/out in about an hour. I'm about 3 hours north of where I live visiting my grandfather. He needed some stuff so I figured I'd kill 2 birds and go.

Man "oh that's a lot of Lego"
Me: "yeah trying to build her dream home (my girlfriend was with me)"

"I feel bad for whoever is going to step on those"

Me: "yeah I work for the CIA and this is are next WMD"

I can go on....only issue was getting them into the car (like 12 of them) shouldn't have taken the Lexus up here lol...

The car parked next to you had the right idea. Now he was prepared.

Back in stock on Walmart.com

Back in stock on Walmart.com

Got a pair but all my other separate orders have been cancelled...
They have gotten smarter since last year...

Lol I made the joke of switching cars.

Gotta take down the free candy sign.

Got 10 orders in on this last round but every one cancelled now with errors about verifying payment. I used GC on a few and CC on the others. Did anyone have their orders stick?

I got multiple orders in last time and they are all still good.

Last time?  How long ago?

My 2nd, 3rd, etc... orders were cancelled a few minutes ago.  See my previous post...

I was limited to 2 per account, this round.  Missed yesterday.   Previous years, there was no limit on-line.

On the 23rd I got multiple orders in for shipping and paid for by CC. Now I see that my first order from this last round stuck but the next 9 cancelled. Sure seems that a new restriction may now be in place. All of my orders were for shipping rather than to store.

I put in 5 orders for store pick-up, and 3 for home shipping. 4 out of 5 store pick up orders have "shipped". Home shipping orders are "processing".

It's in and out. Keep refreshing.

I just ordered some so it does still comes up from time to time.

I just got a pair!
I was looking for local inventory, but found it live.
Tried to order a second pair, but by the time I inputted all the GC info, it poofed. You'd think they'd hold it for a minute or two in your cart.

Back up now but for $54.

Some walmart still have 20 plus of these......

This year walmart has a lot more of this item than last year.

... Of course, things could be different this year... Walmart (or re-sellers) could somehow have an endless supply at $40 each... .. nothing surprises me anymore.  But mark my words: If I regret buying these 10697's, I will swear off Lego speculation forever....

 

From the Daily Deals thread today: "Creative Towers at Walmart for $39.99 right now.  Limit 20 per order."

It happens every year...they'll pop in and out of stock over the next few days before disappearing for good.

anyone from the first wave got all of their orders shipped?

nothing here yet, but an interesting note - The one I ordered today was cancelled. I guess just as well for the 39 dollar price.  Strange nonetheless as all my other orders show processing.

I ordered two just after midnight this past Thursday and I picked them up at my local Walmart this evening.  I will keep my comments about the order pick-up process to myself...

yes - multiple site-to-store orders are in transit with tracking numbers showing they are 1 state away.
