I didn't get a gund bear ... and I double checked - "Arriving Dec 28" haha. Good thing it's not an xmas gift.... I ordered before it was OOS too.

My Big Ben "shipped" today... December 9th arrival.

SOH still at 379CAD on amazon.ca. Only place to find it at MSRP in canada. It is now 399USD on amazon usa.
I gave a heads up on IR and only a few listened here and are probably giggling. Hopefully you guys don't let this one go. It's headed straight to $500CAD easy peasy in 3 weeks.

Thanks. You are right of course, but it hurts buying in at full retail + tax.

Big Ben back in stock.  I can't buy anymore so anyone who missed this, here is your chance.

Thanks for the heads up! I grabbed my personal copy, 10 Left in stock. 

2 Left...

I think I might have got the last one. thanks for the heads up! 

FYI Big Ben arrived today.  My wife said it was shipped in its original packaging without any shipper box and left on the porch open to the snow.  Seals appear opened (I'm very proud my wife picked up on this). Hope all the bags are present as I'm building but that's not a great first Amazon experience.  

Hope you all fair better.

Wow, that is terrible.  I have had countless orders and have never had one come like that.  I do tend to order things in at least two's to try and get original Lego shipping boxes.

Get used to it, I bought a DO for 159 last week and they slapped labels all over it and box was all damaged. Good thing was that I was buying it to build, not resell.

In the meantime, SOH now jacked up to 399 on amazon.ca. Game is pretty much over on that, those who racked those up, get ready and fasten your seatbelts.

Edit: my mistake, 399USD on amazon.com now.

If those that bought the SSD at 399CAD retail, I wonder if they are hurting now. Same with those who may have paid $199 for the Eiffel tower, I wonder how that's panning out. The SOH is worth paying even $450CAD cash at the moment. It will be north of $500CAD in less than 3 weeks, book it.

Not lego related, hope it's ok to mention but Captain America's shield is at $85CAD on Amazon.ca. Luke Skywalker Blue lightsaber for 119CAD. These are good deals considering the lightsaber is on ebay selling for $139USD or so. The blue one is considered to be "rare" in the US.

I want the shield and iron man helmet.  If both were on sale I would buy... waiting for them both to drop as they are 69.99 on amazon.com but shipping makes it a deal breaker.

It would be good to just buy them and display them regardless. I have a feeling next year, you'll be able to get them for even cheaper.

On a side note, my Black Series Tie Fighters came in last week. 49.95CAD each from amazon, they all came in with original hasbro box. No label slapping thank goodness.

SOH down to 23 on amazon.ca now. I punched in one this morning and one this evening. It was at 28 this morning. Once I see it down to 20, I will punch in two more and draw it down to 18, then at 10, I'll punch in 4 more. Up to 22 SOH now. Still a low number considering I had more than 35 Sea cows last year and now down to 1 sea cow. Let's see how many of you take action here and clean out that listing, then we'll see them fly right into and after x'mas.

The same thing just happened to me. Geese Amazon. Is it too much to even wrap it in with brown paper? The stickers doesn't come off easily. I am off to complaint now.

Noticed a few sets on sale.

Any of you Canadians have any SW advents for sale on ebay. Have a buyer on ebay from Nova Scotia looking for one. Thought I'd pass along.

Not in Canada. I'm sure they are interested in the U.S. thread though!

I could list mine for $500 since I got a few for $260CAD during the summer on amazon.ca. I think playing the waiting game is better. The SOH isn't some movie theme, it's an iconic world landmark with special brown bricks.

I must have missed that sale.  I only remember it dropping to $300 + tax.  According to camelcamelcamel it was never that low.

I still haven't picker up a SOH yet. My local Lego store still has a bunch in stock. I'm waiting to see if they go on sale for Boxing Day. Double VIP points last weekend just wasn't enough of an incentive for me.
