I'm not advocating for upset buyers, I am trying to warn resellers concerning the status of this set so they know what may be coming down the pike.

As a reseller myself, I know I would want to be aware of this. Also, this was confirmed by three separate reps so I believe that the information is solid.

No worries though, next time I will keep it to myself.

Respectfully, this isn't the point of Brickpicker. We're here to "pick" aka buy low and sell high. We're not here to advocate on behalf of all upset customers to make sure everyone gets whatever they want at MSRP. We want upset customers to buy the Frigate from us for 250 dollars after we bought it for 40.  

When you do things like this, you risk lowering the resale value of this set (although I suspect that this rep is like a lot of other ones and doesn't know what he's talking about).

the post did not suggest any sort of advocation...it was informative...let's not cast stones at the messenger (they are this forums most valuable assets)

Fair enough, and I mean no offense, but auctionbrokers you said that "apparently Lego has taken a lot of heat from this." Some of that heat was you calling them at least three times to talk about the situation. If nobody ever did that, they wouldn't worry about Amazon and trying to cancel orders that some of us made.

This is kindof a theme over the years here. Some resellers can't help themselves, they repeatedly call Lego support or their local store to address their concerns about stock or orders when the better thing is to place your orders and not be real obvious or vocal about it. Don't tip your hand.

Here I was agreeing with you till you said three reps??

 

Thank you very much for the info as information is a good as gold around here but..........

You talked to three different reps about this or you were reading on different forums and three other users wrote the same info?

because if you called three different times to talk about this then sorry you are the issue.

Let’s get back to the deals, and we can move this discussion....somewhere else please.

Not really a deal, but Grand Piano is back for Preorder. Given how fast it sold out the first time, it's possible it may not be back until after Christmas once it's sold out again

Tantive IV is available for backorder at LEGO Shop at Home.  Shipping Nov. 8.

What’s the fascination with this set? It’s not retiring. And it only goes for a few bucks over retail on eBay after fees.

Selling for about $220 on Amazon and it's only October.

So what does that net you? Trying to see if there is any sort of “deal” here for someone who cannot sell on Amazon.

Hey, I hear you. I just tend to look for sets with a bit bigger margin is all.

It nets you another interaction with a drop shipper.

But we are way off topic

If I can get $175 steady on EBay, -~$20 Fees, -~$15 Shipping, low chance of return/issues if sold in November/early December

works out to $40 profit or so per unit.

The deals thread isn’t the place for this discussion.

1/3rd of the posts are deals
2/3rds are discussing things that belong in other threads.

Target also has the Mandalorian Battle Pack for $12.99.  That's only $.50 off their regular discounted price but its the cheapest that I have seen this so far.

Amazon is matching the Mandalorian Battle Pack.
