Anyone buying from s@h?

 

I'm sticking to the limit of 2 this month.

All this leads me to believe is that there are way way more Brickpickers attempting to invest and resell than anyone has any idea of(they aren't posting) if sets are getting cleaned out of retail stores within a day of Shop at Home simply becuase they are temporarily Sold out or Out of stock, unbelievable.

I believe this set was cleaned out  in major retailers long before all the hub bub started on the site and people noticed this set.  LEGO stores are always the last major source to buy a retiring set, besides the sporadic online opportunities.  A couple of hundred Town Halls scattered across the country in various LEGO stores pales in comparison to the potential inventory of LEGO S@H, Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc...

I can't even get the motivation for a 90 day return on this one. The idea that TLG is retiring this set ahead of schedule is just too far out there for me. Good luck to the rest of you tho I hope you make a killing. Now if a certain sand green house becomes available sign me up

 I seriously doubt the rumors posted on BP alone is making this set sold-out..

 

THIS is interesting. How BP rumors does influe the investors ? I have no clue (visits can be from members, checking topics many times, or maybe not).

 

 

BTW I completely agree with the guy (sorry I don't remember the nickname) who said that the TH didn't sell well just because it was more expensive compared to the others. I can completely imagine a guy thinking in 2011 "Ok, I buy the GE this Xmas", then next year "Oh! A town Hall ! But it's expensive, let's buy the pet shop this Xmas", then in 2013 "A palace cinema ! Cool ! I'll take the TH later for Xmas, still no deal on this." etc.

In the end, the guy never bought the TH...

Just bought another TH from LEGO Shop at Home this morning (double pts and elf promo). This only brings my total to 3. I think that's enough for now. My wallet and wife aren't very supportive. ha

The Town Hall I ordered from Shop@Home on Friday arrived today. The sticker reads 38R4.

Just ordered 1 on LEGO Shop at Home. The product search page thumbnail says "SOLD OUT" but you can add to bag/backordered until October 20 on the main product page.

Unless TLC totally floods the market with 38R4 run (though it is hard to imagine them making TH run larger than HH run, and we all know how scarce most recent run of HH is), then there is upside of possible flipping for TH in near term, so the risk is somewhat low.

Has most recent HH run even had time to make it from Denmark into all the retailers?

37R4 was widely reported for HH 

While picking up a Tumbler from my local lego store last night, I was they would be receiving more within a week. Is it the beginning of the end for TH, or could it just be the end of the beginning?

Order from Lego, available now:

I don't see the 'available now'. It shows the 'usual' backordered Oct 20 for me.

Agree, very low risk right now.  Picked up 3 after they had sold out locally and flipped 2 of them at $275 each.  With double point and promo only $172 cost.  So even if not fully done its like GE was where you can build up some and move some at the same time

Two of TH arrived today from TRU. As expected they are in pretty bad condition. They shipped the sets with old used box.

Can I get some discount if I contact TRU's customer service?

wow, they look very bad. I believe you can get some compensation especially if they can't replace them.

That makes me nervous as my 2 from tru are scheduled to arrive on Friday. Please let me know if they give you any kind of discount

I have two that arrived from TRU that are pretty trashed.  I haven't decided what to do yet.  Much worse than the ones pictures above.

have you called tru to see if they could do anything yet?

I'm not taking the bait as I think it'll be another year before the TH goes.

Not yet, I assume they'll give a 10% refund.

 

Here are the codes I received:

S@H 38R4

TRU 47R3

Here are the codes I received:

LEGO Shop at Home 38R4

That smells like a new production run.

TRU will give you 10%

I was given 20% all inclusive coupon one time after I went " crazy " on them .

That was after they sent me a crawler instead of a unimog ( they substituted it), an open- yes open- HD, pancake cavalry builders to mention a few
