Some people here would rather buy a set at full MSRP if they suspect it is retiring. Knowing when the price is right to buy a set is much more efficient. Good job.

 

for 135

Just grabbed one from toyrus incase it retires, bricktober gift too

for 135

Have bought them also at 135 euro. I don't think it will be much cheaper, so better safe then sorry. ToysXL already had 3 for price of 2, but the price of the TH was 179,99 and you had to find 2 other lego sets similar to that price. And they didn't had a lot of Town Halls. So then the best price would have been 120 euro's a set.

 

But I am happy with the 135 euro.

I'm taking a chance and waiting until 31OCT to order 5x TH.  I just don't have the space right now.

Time to offload a few more City sets  

Time to offload a few more City sets

I've only got about 50 CITY vehicles left now, I'll give 5 away to polite trick-or-treaters next week. I've bought a job lot of bike parts at -75% which I couldn't resist which filled the loft again. I've got local interest in HHs at

Has anyone opened one and verified the contents (i.e., the number of bags)?

 

I built mine--but in hindsight I should have counted for future reference.

 

Why? The two I ordered from Wal-Mart have shipped separately (from the same warehouse even) and will mostly likely arrive without a shipping box and seals popped. I will learn my lesson... I will learn my lesson... I will learn my lesson...

John Lewis Reading has one on the shelf and six at collection point and will match Lego's 2x VIP if you fill a very very very long form in. I asked about EOL snd they're getting more with their next order. Not taken bait yet ;-)

Interesting. How big of a chain is JLR?

I would check the Number of Sealed Bags thread. From the list in the main post, it says that the TH has 30 bags.

Thanks--I didn't know such a thread existed. Very helpful.

Oddly enough I was randomly in Leeds shopping, so of course had 2 nip into the Lego store. They had plenty of TH's out on display but not a single GE. I did buy another TH though just had to because they still had the free set.

Quite big and in all major UK towns and cities. Probably similar to Macy's and B&****** in the US. Also they can price match and their service is superb.

So far Target has shipped only one of my several orders placed during the most recent feeding frenzy.

Is anyone else experiencing the same?

All of our orders shipped that night and all have UPS tracking. A week or so ago they ran out of stock and did not fulfill all of those previous TH orders of ours. We left that order open on backorder and they filled it this week. If they did run out of stock then keep the order open and they will fill it if they ever get any more instock. This round we missed out on the Walmart restock so ordered very quickly in the beginning when they popped in at Target.

My 4 target Town Halls shipped right away in one order of 4, shipped 2 boxes of 2 but I am not holding my breath that they will come in real Lego boxes.

 

Based on the R2's I ordered coming in it seems the extremely sloppy oversized not padded Target box with them moving around survives better than the stronger box tightly packed.  Go figure.  Should be interesting.  They will be keepers in any event.

Hmm... that means my other orders are at risk if they don't have any more.

 

And yeah, I'm gonna keep them no matter what, if they will ever come.

If all the bags are there I would not worry. There are a ton of builders who missed this set in the USA and will pay very good money as long as the bags are sealed and accounted for. I know personally during my building days I threw down ridiculous cash for sealed bags for set 3450 with no box at all. TH is going to be an easy sell no matter the condition. Checkout this review which has photos of all the bags, baseplates, larger plates to make sure yours is complete:

Yeah seals don't really matter at all. About half the sets I have are damaged box wise, I still sell them for the same amounts. You just make it known and there are people that don't care about the box.

 

If you are gonna build it, don't need the box.

I routinely get requests from builders asking me to discard the lego box to fit the contents in flat rate boxes to save on shipping. Works for us. Granted I do have a lot of box queens blacklisted so our percentage of builders is alot higher than most. We found the box queens cost us the majority of our time and 100% of returns but contributed less than 2% to profits so it was an easy decision to ban them. I do love getting lego shipping boxes tho as we stack our inventory to the roof and it saves on time, space and storage boxes.

On one of my Walmart Town Hall orders that got shipped without a box and was crushed, I got back $42+ for the damage.
