What's folks experience with Harrods shipping to US?  In reading up on them I saw their online shopping is notorious for not deliverying on items due to items not being updated for being out of stock, etc.  I ordered 1 earlier with no issues and tried ordering another for a buddy but it kept rejecting my card for some reason the second go around.

That being said, Falcon earlier was scheduled to ship early Aug on Lego US but looks like now it's back to the standard "60 days".  Either way it's available to purchase at least if you missed it on the Harrods site: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/millennium-falcon-75192  I went ahead and got one just in case the Harrods doesn't pan out

Lastly, the Death Star is finally available on US lego: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/death-star-75159 so snagged one as well just in case it ends up retiring later this year

Doesn't look like anyone posted this earlier either, maybe that speaks to the offer but Zavvi has a deal on the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot Building Kit (31313) @ $259.99 w/ free shipping (code EV3) : https://us.zavvi.com/toys-lego/lego-mindstorms-ev3-robot-building-kit-31313/10757770.html?utm_source=10072020-zus-lego-mindstorms&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=10072020-zus-lego-mindstorms&affil=thgemail&ecrmcid=aPxqXoJElmKjva4AeddrpVYWD7RdMBg6&shae=nf2rfpXuG%2FM6e3M8bEYQNs5iYtWck8wGimOE9k6viPg%3D&sendTime=1594422000&widget_id=1900679

They are also claiming a $10 discount on the Dodge Charger (code FAF10), no free shipping however so I think it's technically a savings of $5 only: https://us.zavvi.com/toys-lego/lego-technic-dodge-charger-42111/12509336.html?utm_source=10072020-zus-lego-mindstorms&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=10072020-zus-lego-mindstorms&affil=thgemail&ecrmcid=aPxqXoJElmKjva4AeddrpVYWD7RdMBg6&shae=nf2rfpXuG%2FM6e3M8bEYQNs5iYtWck8wGimOE9k6viPg%3D&sendTime=1594422000&widget_id=1900684

 

Taj Mahal is available at RRP for shipping only on Target online as well.  If you have the redcard you can sang it w/ a 5% discount however.  Be warned, it indicates that it ships in original box in case you care for that sort of thing: https://www.target.com/p/lego-creator-expert-taj-mahal-10256/-/A-53278073

Taj Mahals from Targat came shipped in their own boxes, no outer box. 2 of 3 have long shallow dents after being sent ground for 2000 miles. I talked to CS immediately after I ordered to try to get them sent to my store which is a no go. She said the safest shipping option is to call CS, ask for US team and they can put instructions for packers to put them in shipping boxes, but it would take an extra week to process (risk not getting them).

do sets shipped to store for pick-up do better?

That option at walmart, for me, resulted in a lower-denominator of careless workers given a shot of "venting their frustration" on my orders

The sets I have had shipped to a Walmart for pickup have arrived in a box as if it was shipped to my house.  If I order product they have in stock, it'll be wrapped in a walmart bag so it's a little more chance of dmg.  However, I still have not had any problems with Walmart.

Target on the other hand is very hit and miss.  Small sets can come in a garment bag smashed like a pancake.  Larger sets can come in boxes that are not sealed correctly and still get smashed.  I received one Target shipment with zero packaging material.  Somehow the set still arrived in good shape.

Hey y’all see “My order status” or “thread of packaging excellence”

Someone talk me out of buying these. There is no way these are a better investment over literally any other cheaper harry potter set. That will most likely go out of stock.

I think they will sell out pretty fast and that it will be a hot item around Christmas.
