I have always bought during double VIP and good promo giveaways. Only one of anything, split up orders, etc

I think it really depends on what you're buying.  I've never heard of someone get in trouble for buying City sets, but buying multiples of Exclusives or "Hard to Find" sets seems to set off the red flag.  I've been buying in multiple orders for each prime giveaway period for some time now and have had no issues, but I'm pretty smart about what I'm buying and make sure to not double up on the set I've ordered. Be smart and stay within the proposed limits and you should be fine.

... and don't start buying multiples on a fresh VIP account. Better to make a few small single set purchases over a few months, then slowly ease into buying multiples.

Picked up the following used sets from CL all with instructions but no box for $750:

10185 Green Grocer 
10218 Pet Shop
10216 Winter Village Bakery 
5766 Log Cabin
4956 Creator House
6754 Family Home 
4996 Beach House
5891 Apple Tree House
5771 Hillside House
7641 City Corner
and extra 10-15 pounds tub of LEGO and some small city sets

I think it's a pretty good deal and most of them are going to be placed in my city.  I'm just really happy to finally able to get Green Grocer and all of the retired houses that I wasn't even bothered to buy back then.

I'm at LEGO Downtown Disney waiting for them to open. I have $40 in my pocket and $5 in points. Ever wondered what a degenerate LEGO addict spends his last $40 on? Stay tuned!

If I were a betting man, I'd say Venom polys.....

Saw this in the craiglist app in the D.C. area. what area are you scouring so I don't duplicate efforts

60051 White Passenger Train - $102 from AWD

First "like new" designated purchase that has been opened and rifled through.  Checked the contents and it is 100% there.  They even added an extra manual.

Positive note, my 75102 X-wing was delivered. 

x2 Ecto - 1 (£29.99 each)

Kmart has some of the new Lego sets in-store now.  Picked up these for free with surprise points:

Had a coupon and points bonanza at KMart.com.

5 x 75094 - Imperial Shuttle Tydirium - averaged out to $54 each

Walmart. This was my first time in a long time hunting, usually it's Internet or Lego store, decided to hit couple walmarts, ended up stopping at 3, nothing major, no SW on sale/clearance but found those:

Snow plow truck 60083 $9

furry creatures 31021 $5

plus architecture studio arrived today from LEGO Shop at Home for $127.98 with 2 free NEXO Knights polybags

Walmart app has been a liar, but I did find:

2x mystery machines $20 ea

2x quinjets $40 ea

1x Rapunzels Tower $20

1x Sith Infiltrator $70 (thoughts on price? Probably to keep)

1x sunshine ranch $50

75055 ISD for 64 @WM. It was hidden deeply in the outdoor sports area. Guess someone must forgot where he/she hided it.

14 Minecraft Snow Hideout £12 each

walmart site-to-store with pickup in tax-free NH purchased with some 4% off gift cards.

ordered 2 because that's how many are supposed to come in a case.  check.

 

closer inspection reveals these bad boys are MINTY. check check.

and quite stale - October 02, 2014.  ruh-roh -  not a lot selling.  and these are from after walmart ran out and then restocked them this month.

time to order some more .  I  Walmart Site-to-Store for bulk ordering big sets. No banning there. just give me your money - thank you and come again.  ordering for shipping to home from walmart is a disasterously different story.

Not just you. They act like I'm stealing from them. They seem to have no idea that they're one step away from being Kmart...
