Thanks to this forum my FOMO trio is now complete. Diner arrived from AMZ today, Treehouse from LEGO just shipped, and I have an Upside Down on backorder from LEGO as well. I normally chase EOL deals on big sets like these, but who knows what the future holds for these sets. At the very least, now my wife won't have to hear any more "The Stranger Thing set came back into stock briefly on AMZ again today but I missed it..." complaints!

In other, but very much related news, I just dropped off an FBA shipment at UPS...

Picked up a couple of 41318's at 50% off, left 2 with slightly damaged boxes on shelf on hindsight should have swept the lot. 

Nice find, but ummmm, yeah, you should have arm swept.

Oh I got all they had. They only had 2 land bounty and 1 high school.

Delivered.  And backordered a Diner on LEGO.com today (now shipping 7/2).  Done. 🤞

Going back today for another round. Sometimes they have additional stock in the backroom, there were many 42080, 75211, 75212 and 60174 all 50% off rrp last week.

Yup, arm sweep indeed. Great set.

I have boat load of these bad boys I scooped up from various Walmart's over the years.

The two 41318s that I left behind on saturday are now in my possession.  Picked up some avengers sets that were added to the 50% sales. There were some overwatch sets but I gave them a pass, cleaned up some power functions sets as well. Good 30min run. All the MFs and Ties from Solo were gone, should have picked up some last week. I'm sitting on a few of the MFs and they are moving slowly.

Arm swept Ninjago  at less than MSRP and sold out from what I could tell on LEGO Shop at Home.  This whole frenzy is not typical, right? 

Like, every Ninjago set you saw?

70670 mostly, came up as in stock under MSRP so grabbed a few.  I think it must have been a restock night for Amazon, a lot of stuff came back in all at once.

Bought 7x 21125 Minecraft Jungle Treehouse @ MSRP  

We'll see if these turn up as the correct set and how damaged they are.

Picked up a Creator Roller Coaster on Amazon for $290 using built up rewards points.  Glad I didn't fall for the FOMO on this one.  

Fairground construction begins in 1 week as Carousel and Ferris Wheel get moved from their storage and this and Mixer get built.  

Also have the little Rocket Ride set to add to it.  Light kits will need to be purchased as well if anyone has recommendations on those.

Anyone ever get Zavvi to honor the student discount they advertise?  They are playing dumb, I think, and saying they don't have one and then I link 'em to it and silence.  Can only get one email a week out of them it seems.

Bought two HP halls from SaH, actually bought them two months ago, and they just shipped today!

Mine did too! I forgot to add a small item but the Mother’s Day card shipped with the GH anyway!

used up loads of vip pints and ordered vegas architecture, dried up everywhere.

Did not buy any (thank goodness, I had that Bookstore teed up, but have been on a tear so thought better of it), but I did get a big box of bulk for FREE.  I've found a some Harry Potter (triple decker bus), SW (some Ewok stuff), an Airplane, Alien Mothership (7065).

Not quite as clean and easy as buying, but the price is right! 😂 

Went to drop off some stuff at the post office and went to the department store nearby, found two 60204's on clearance plus a podracer, promptly bought all 3. I seem to be finding hospitals (including 41318s) quite frequently.

Got a Treehouse and two diners from Amazon

I just bought a used Café Corner for €475.

Didn’t think I would ever get one for a price that I would be willing to pay for it. Now Market Street is the only modular I don’t have but not too bothered about that.

Found a 70618 on clearance and biggest surprise was 10277 on the shelves, I picked up one...

What!? Where?? Did you see any of those nice DO NOT SHELVE UNTIL JULY 1ST stickers anywhere closeby?

Remember back when it was frowned upon just to list the set #s without the name.... 😁

In a major Swiss department store called Manor, two on shelves I took one. I don't do quick flips but given this is a Swiss train and seeing lots of train enthusiasts at the lug shows I can probably turn it around quickly. Nope didn't see the "Do not put on shelves before July 1st" sticker.

I will always frown on it.
