saw the same prices for Imperial troop transport ... 1.88 but decided that I didn't feel like wasting time

initially put in an order for 20, then I came back to my senses and cancelled ..

I ordered 2 sets of drills/impacts and did express shipping so it's supposed to arrive by Monday. Rather then wait a month or 2 to see if it's a scam. The seller has 35 pages of stuff. 

Not sure how amazon resellers work but I assume Amazon doesn't stock the product, they just forward the order info to the seller and they dispatch from there?  What would be the point of setting up a scam like this?  Amazon will protect the customer in the end won't they?

Maybe they assume some people won't complain?

The point would be to get your name and address for whatever other black market scheming they've got going on. 

@Vodium  Keep us posted on your shipment, I am curious.

Man!

What on earth? I don't know what you watch with the rest of your free time and I don't think I want to.  

So guys,  The super deal on amazon was of course a scam.  But I am wondering, how does the people that got scammed is getting reimbursed.  Is it amazon.ca?  Or the seller who of course disappeared, which means no money back.

See here, the comments starts to appears:https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aag/details/ref=aag_m_fb?ie=UTF8&asin=B00WHXP7LK&isAmazonFulfilled=0&isCBA=&marketplaceID=A2EUQ1WTGCTBG2&seller=AL5ABCXU6CS9Y#

 

My friend told me friday to order, and said, well if this is a scam, you will get reimburse.  Really?  By amazon?  How does the reimbursement works?

FYI, I did not buy from this vendor, but I am wondering for future too good to be true deals, If I bait and purchase, how to get reimburse.

First of all, lesson learned ... skip those super deals unless they are from real companies.

You can either file an a-z claim with Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201516820)  .. you have 50 of them lifetime OR you can file a claim with your credit card company (assuming you paid with a CC). There is no lifetime limit on CC charge backs but I would imagine if you keep filing claims for purchases on amazon.ca they might get suspicious.

BTW There is a 30 day waiting period for the a-to-z claim but not for the CC charge back (but you'll have a better chance of being approved if you wait a couple weeks).

Who pays?  Crazy cat man (Greg) has it correct but the long term answer is that we pay through increased selling fees. 

JW Indominus Rex (75919) $120.00 @ Amazon.ca:

https://www.amazon.ca/LEGO-Jurassic-Indominus-Breakout-Building/dp/B00UPB9RVM/ref=sr_1_10?s=toys&ie=UTF8&qid=1477505526&sr=1-10&keywords=lego

This one is widely reported as showing "Retired" on European Lego SAH.

...and another Jurassic World set marked down too:

LEGO Jurassic World T. Rex Tracker 75918: $72.00

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00UPB9RR6/ref=pd_bxgy_21_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6B8DJGF4YNBA902RF2BB

EDIT: MOD's: Sorry, I'm a noob - is there a trick to Amazon.ca links? These appear to be going to amazon.com....

Another one:

LEGO Jurassic World Dilophosaurus Ambush 75916: $32.00

Oops... you had a link for Trex in that post. I fixed it... and couldn't even begin to say why it's linking to .com instead of .ca.... weird.

I passed it along to Jeff so he can take a look. For now, folks can just change .com to .ca after clicking on it.

BTW, thanks to the amazon.com redirect, it looks like there are similar markdowns on these on Amazon.com

Our flyers arrived today - 20% off all Jurassic world sets @ TRU starting Friday - which matches the current amazon.ca prices. 

This one wasn't marked down yesterday, but is now:

LEGO Jurassic World Raptor Rampage 75917 Building Kit: $48.00... matching the upcoming 20% JW sets at TRU.

Is anyone biting on the JW retirement? The next JW movie is scheduled for 2018, so there is about a year without Dinosaurs.

But at the same time, it was the movie that drove demand.

Thoughts?

I went pretty heavy on RE/Gal Trap, but not much else. I'm sure it will do well, but i'm a bit skeptical of how well given the amount of hoarding we've seen for this line. I think the T-Rex Tracker will be a dud though, maybe the helicopter too. The rest have some unique Dino's/figures/builds to increase their chance of success.
