So I ordered 17 total sets yesterday in 3 separate orders

Order 1) x4 Epic Dragon Battle

Order 2) x4 Helms Deep

Order 3) x3 Vampyre Castle, x3 Epic Dragon Battle, & x3 Helms Deep

The 1st order of 4 epic dragon battles went through but Target cancelled my other 2 orders. I called and they said their policy was they could only sell 5 Lego sets per day online to a customer and that's why they cancelled it as a security measure and also said they were concerned I was reselling these.

What a bunch of b.s.! I told the manager it doesn't matter what I do with these and he agreed but said that was just the Policy. He said I could order 5 more sets again today but that sucks cause I wouldn't be able to get yesterday's sale prices. I told him I've never heard of that policy and know tons of people who order more than 5 Legos a day on Target.com and that I was just being singled out.

Did anyone else's orders from Target get cancelled?

I alway order diff. Sets in one order...to looks legit. Btw all my 5 ordets shipped.)

That total BS, whats wrong with you Tatget...

Mine all shipped. 6 orders with 3 or 4 sets each...lots of multiples.

That's pretty wild. I wonder if Lego themselves had any effect on that, considering the rumors going around in the past that Lego was looking to squash resellers.

Toysrus cancelled my order of two (2!) funhouses today. These stores, man I just don't know what to think. If they are trying to single out resellers, I hope they enjoy all the surplus sets they have collecting dust.

It has to be lego setting the limits. Why would target care how many you bought. Noticed amzn is starting to set limits online for lego...so are toysrus and lego themselves.

Actually looking back...the most I bought of any item was 5....so maybe you really did trip their alarm.

I would call them on this one.  I think they likely cancelled it because you got it for cheaper then they intended to sell it for.  If they don't give you the price.  Call the better business bureau, I believe they have to honor their mistake.

Hmmm. I ordered quite a # of sets with Target.com over the last 3 months. Many duplicate sets in fact. I wonder since I'm registered as a licensed PA retailer if that helps my orders from getting canceled....

Sounds suspicious! I don't understand why target would care? All they want to do is move old stock!

Although can lego do this legally? I guess they could in their reseller agreements....as they seem to be the hot toy right now and can call the shots. Activision recently did this with skylanders. Forced retailers to take whatever they shipped...didn't allow them to pick and choose which characters they ordered.

Amazon has had limits for years, and not just on LEGO sets.

I have not experienced limits on Amazon (up to 10 or 11 items) until very recently : I wasn't able to buy a VC today (not a single one!), maybe because I already bought one last week... Weird.

I just received an email saying my order shipped (2 HD + 5 Fun Houses)

Thats ridiculous. Someone has to be behind this. I have purchased large amounts of sets without problems.

Interesting post.  I've never ordered in volumes like that.  Maybe Target will start putting limits on their orders online like other websites.

i just ordered a bunch from them the other day - didn't happen to me.

Target.com already has quantity limits and has for a while.

happened to me when i tried to place an order for 5 orc forges a while back. i just did a reorder afterwards. lol.

Maybe they only have a checking system in place that checks like every 10 orders?

They shipped mine.  10 Epic Battles and 2 Lone Trains...

Do the brick and mortar stores also impose a limit of sets you purchase?

I think it would just be frowned upon.

Disappointing they seem to pick off people and just cancel their orders making them miss out on bargains.

They are "reseller profiling".  Shouldn't there be a riot or something?

I just received a cancellation notice from Target that a portion of my order has been cancelled. Waiting out hope the Orc Forge order will ship.

Here is my order info
