What is up with this set?  $48 for a UCS?  We were all so happy with the Prime Day deal, now it's less than half.

It's obviously a big ole stinking turd that Amazon can't wait to get rid of.

Grr, had one in my cart and got a work call. All gone when I got back. 

Don't worry, you probably did not miss anything other than a cancelled order.

For $129 I'm happy to take this stinking turd off their hands. For $48 I'll even take it directly off their ass.

both mine and my friends UCS ties were canceled. FYI. not even an email confirming or an apology for a price mistake.

Not to start what is likely going to be a mod-annoying avalanche of "me too's" but... me too.

I'm currently placing a lot of separate orders at Tesco for Click & Collect to take advantage of the 1500 points for £60 spend. I shop at Tesco anyway and the points will soon be used. If any orders are cancelled, I'll accept that and will return any that have points deducted. At least this time I can inspect the sets when I collect. Once I receive shipments, I'll itemise in an updated post. From experience, Tesco stock is much better kept than Argos and is often boxed. Also, some deals beat Argos!

I'm going in big but, not as big as the Argos orders ;-)

UPDATE... As soon as I tried to place the 10th order, the 1000 points for £60 spend disappeared and it's now just 500 points for £30 spend. I looked at my order history and the orders up until now have been confirmed so hopefully I'll get the 14000+ points for a big blowout when there's a boost of some kind on.

Photo or it didn't happen? I'll post one assuming that the order is collected OK.

Up your arse, Argos!

Kylo Ren's Shuttle 75103 $59 x4

Micro AT-AT $5 x3; micro Snowspeeder $5 x3

Friends Emma's House $35 x2

Did not get: 2 more Emma's Houses, $30 Avenger Tower x3, $40 misfortunes keeps x2,  $59 deep sea vessels x7, $35 Scooby Lighthouses x4, $19 Wu Dragons, $25 Roni. Rex x2, $30 Elves Secret Market x4, $15 Elves Epic Ship x2, $15 friends Hot Air Balloons x9, $40 Nether Fortress x3, $30 First Night x3, $35 Ender Dragon, $40 Friends tree House x2, and about 6 other half price Ninjago and City set. Could have dropped almost $2k on half price Lego, but stuck with Star Wars and Friends sets that my daughter would want. 

Taking advantage of the Tesco points glitch should see my buy-in for 2 x Scooby Mansions and Lighthouses and City Deep Sea Subs work out at £46.50, £20 and £15 respectively. Unlike the States, cheap Lego does not come easy.

Here is a new one and not really sure where to post but I bought 4x of the Quake Beast on Lego LEGO Shop at Home to flip since they are rare and I receive 1 Technic Fire Plane. Lol. They apparently have none as it is now backordered so they just tossed in first thing they found.

Those are rare because TRU was throwing them in with a $40 order, and all Bionicle has been backordered on LEGO Shop at Home for a while. Though the Fire Plane would make more sense as a substitute for the Lava beast ...

I think this forum is clouding my judgment and pulling away from just being a collector and over to the Dark Side!

I just make Timmy's dream lil more expensive.  

I went to lunch with a co-worker and we stopped at Wal-Mart to pick-up some 50% off Kylo Ren's shuttles.  I commented when putting 2 back on the shelf, "These are for little Timmy".  He just laughted.  I'm lucky this store had 7 to start with.
