Best Buy, in their eBay store, has a ton of sets for sell.  All retail but many you can no longer find or are retired.  I picked up a couple Stranger Things Upside Downs and a couple Sith Art sets.

Stranger Things are gone? Not seeing it

299 of Indo Rex just appeared

Anyone find this surfacing of thousands of retired sets troubling? Or are we all assuming this is a late shipment / corner of warehouse find

thanks ! I would have guessed lego warehouse clean out or Best Buy warehouse clean out but since the sith art, James Bond and the crane all started with 300 copies makes me wonder if its not real.

Yes, I noticed that and was wondering if that indicates some sort of test by lego. 

would be odd to find exactly 300 copies of so many sets. all the below started at 300 copies on ebay form a quick check - seems like ALL the retired sets started with exactly 300. Beyond coincidental to me....

LEGO - Technic Mobile Crane 42108

LEGO - ART Star Wars The Sith 31200

 

LEGO - Super Heroes Avengers Tower Battle 76166

LEGO - Jurassic World Indominus Rex vs. Ankylosaurus 75941

LEGO - Creator Expert James Bond Aston Martin DB5 10262

well Best Buy website doesn't have any on these so I'm going to say either its a mess up or Best Buy is doing a direct drop ship from lego to clean out some extra inventory.  I am thinking it is possibly either case. I would probably go Best Buy computer error if I had to pick.  still might be worth ordering something lol

Can't win if you don't play.

It's Best Buy on eBay, you won't be out any money if it doesn't get fulfilled.

Remember a couple weeks back, FYE had UCS A-Wings in stock. I think we’re going to see this off and on for awhile. The supply chain has been screwed up for two years now.

This is different IMO. That was one item and an odd #.

This is dozen/s and all precisely 300 in stock (of varying price points). Either a glitch or some planned test IMO

sith, crane and Indominus Rex are all gone.... interesting. DB5 is still there tho

can't believe 300 copies of Indominus Rex are all sold in 4 hours.

 

Sith art , upside down and avengers tower is OOS , rest is in stock still .  The more i think about this and the longer this remains live  ,  yes this has to be legit.  i would assume Best Buy would have corrected their mistakes long ago if this was indeed an error

what are folks loading up on? considering this is retail price im not going too crazy.  but i bought 1 each of Sith art,  crane , DB5 and avengers tower .    i would have happily bought 2 to 3 each of the upside down , but that went quick.    on the fence about getting multiples of anything

I show the I-Rex in stock, with more than 10 left.

YMMV my Kroger had various 50% off City, Creator, DUPLO, Star Wars, Mario, & Ninjago.

yes, you are right.

Interesting it didn't show up on my last search but it is now.

I had quite a few Sith and I-Rex... Sith is gone, now I just hope I-Rex quickly follows suit

Kroger Marketplace stores sometimes have as much stock as a small Target.

I live about 60 miles from the Kroger in Carrolton, ***.  They have a huge LEGO section, a couple aisles wide.  Sorry if I am giving up someone's honey hole.

VIP outlet on eBay has the UCS AT-AT for $692 with code MEMDAY15OFF.  Probably getting a damaged box.

5% eBay bucks for chosen.

Anything left? It's a hike from Atlanta proper
