Well stated. Also, lego probably doesn't enjoy dealing with massive returns when a set that appeared to be eol blazes back to life with no discernible end.

That is a good point. LEGO should not care about people buying and holding the sets for indefinite amount of time. However, the returns (especially the ones without receipts) have got to hurt their logistics.

The question has been answered several times in the last few hundred pages.  To be honest with you, the new policy will help some smart resellers quite a bit if true and will hurt others quite a bit if the wrong sets are hoarded.

 

I wasn't asking what the affects will be. I was asking WHY lego is making a change. I don't remember that being stated by you anywhere in the last few hundred pages and I am certainly not going to go re-read it all. I about lost my sanity reading it the first time.

i don't think TLG takes resellers into account for any decisions related to production.

 

that's like asking if the dog is concerned about the well-being of the flies swarming over its droppings.

 

this is simple - its about money.  

i think there is an overestimation of the contribution of the reseller hoarding to LEGO's revenue.

if LEGO revenue was so greatly influenced by the resellers, LEGO investors would all be screwed because it means demand is pathetic.

Who knows, but chance favors the prepared mind...

its such a tease to see it keep saying "3 in stock" "12 in stock" "in stock" on refreshes but not able to add to cart. 

The sporadic availability of big sets at Amazon + 1 click orders must be a PITA for 3PS with the lowest prices :D

Got a couple using the 1-click just a minute ago.

I have "1-clicked" the 199 price about 50 times and it never works...what is your secret guys?  Closer to the server hub?  Some fancy browser trick?  I only want one more.

If it appears on this thread it's too late u loverly have to be at computer the second it comes up. Too many scripts and people at computer. Only reason you're seeing it is cache

I'm at the computer pressing f5 for the last 10 min, I know i can't wait for the thread.

Use a shorter network cable,

Remember when this forum wasn't full of a$$holes?  It was great.

I didn't get any this time, but previously switching browsers has sometimes worked for me. I was able to add to cart in chrome, but not in IE.

Intertoys had like 44 1,5 hour before. Now they are all gone!

Could always plan in advance to reach your quota so you don't have to sit in front of your pc all the time hitting that poor F5 button.

While one hits f5 all day another is buying pet shops and enjoying their day.

well, in Amazon US 44 TH's would hardly last 1,5 minutes...how can you be surprised?

Agreed. It was so much funnier when I was the only smart-a$$ around. There are too many competitions now, just like with my eBay store..
