I stick to ordering limits for two reasons. 

1. Limits possibility, even if unlikely, of a ban

2. Limits risk exposure (of course, also limits upside)

 

I understand your thought process, however in this particular case it’s an obvious glitch, which has happened many times before with target, some folks are NOT able to place multiple orders from what i understand and some have been able to.   And I don’t remember the last time target banned anyone..  as far as risk, for me there are at least 10 targets within 20 mins so if need be I can just return any unwanted sets.  Just my thoughts...

Absolutely. I do remember the bans though and that wasn't pleasant. I rely on Target for several things, so not worth it for me.

I assume the set is supposed to be limited to one per.  But nowhere on their page does it state "Limit 1 per customer" or household or... anything.  So for arguments sake, if they did decide to ban buyers, they wouldn't really have grounds to do so.  I ordered a couple just incase any come smashed.

Sorry I am fairly new here, not sure what u mean? I totally understand the banning part but forum ethics? So that recent zaavi glitch that a handful of folks try taking advantage of and some even placing orders of 20 for the lambo, is that any different? Sorry for my ignorance on the matter just trying to learn.

part but forum ethics?

Buying items for resale but returning them at the end of the return window when it doesn't live up to expectations is frowned upon in the forum. As I understand it, this practice is generally seen as abusive of return polices and provokes extra anger from retailers and gives us all an even worse name among the stores we depend on for supply.

Can we make it against forum ethics to fill the deals thread with random jabber?

Ok I suspected it had to do with my general statement about returning.  Sorry I do understand that part clearly now.

Got same email here. Well that was fun!

 

I still have not received a cancellation email on my two Lambos.  When I click on my order, I get this:

 

 

The bad news is that I can't get the code to work for the Disney Castle.  It keeps stating that it is invalid for the order.

ZAVDISNEY does not work for me, either. Says invalid code. However I received a personalized code via email to use on it that does work, so maybe you'll have to wait until they cancel yours. Or maybe you'll get lucky and they won't

Even though you all know about these deals, i just got this email from Zavvi, so I will post.

Home Depot Muscle Rack, 72"H x 48"W x 24"D $63

These are great. The 24in ones are the way to go. All my LEGO inventory goes on these and they are very sturdy and safe. This is a very good price for the 72in high and 24in deep ones - which rarely get below $75.

It's not a VIP Discount Code ... you need to enter it under "Promo Code" on the Checkout screen.
