My Batman ‘66 Cowl was canceled.

If you don't mind paying their shipping fees, LEGOLand NY's online store has it for $44.96.  NO LIMIT.

Picked up a few landspeeders @130chf, are they doing that badly that it's being discounted by so much now? 

What store is that please? Is it online? That's a very big discount

Manor, sold out online and i had my orders cancelled except 1. I saw one in store but box too beat up for me. 

If you live near ticino you can give it a go.

I would not have paid more than 120chf, but that's just me.

Rrp is 269chf although many other retailers selling at about 200-220, so still have a good safety margin. 

I started picking up sah orders in France because the rrp there is already a 20% discount from prices here. Swiss rrp is nuts.

I hope that TLG gets the low inventory issues sorted.  But until then, I'll watch for them to pop back in stock and place orders quickly to include GWP.  Got one order in on the last batch of Koi Fish and Spider man mechs that will likely never get fulfilled.  Will result in a Blacktron with a sub $90 buy in.

Yeah, this last Blacktron ended up being a $15 order.

So, I had a package that was being sent via LaserShip that was supposed to be out for delivery yesterday and instead, it now shows as this: 

What gives here?! This is why I hate LaserShip so much.

12/20 order of Batwing finally cancelled.  Bastards!

LS is the worst.

 

Placed a few orders with SAH this morning.  They were showing a bunch of the out of stock retiring sets back in stock.  Bad Batch, Yoda, Spider Man mechs, Fish BHz.  Best case some of them fulfill, worst case I get a bunch of Blacktrons for small buy ins!

Bad Batch from this morning in warehouse. Fluffy is "waiting for new stock". So restock was at least partially for real.

Same for me.  Yoda and Minions BHz also waiting for new stock.

YMMV, anything that has been discounted since December orders might qualify you for a gift card or VIP points for the difference. I looked through old orders and found a couple deserving of $20-$40 back, so I chatted for some VIP points. I didn't bother with all of them, since some were only $10 or less.

For those that price matched Batwings (or other sets), how far back is Lego willing to go?

I bought a couple Batwings for the black friday promotion and they told me (via chat) I'd have to ship back the promo sets and lose the double VIP points to be able to take advantage of the discount.

About 30 days

My 1/6 Blacktron order arrived today and I just got the VIP points. I also got 10% Honey CB today as well on the order. Interesting data point, I was adding and subtracting sets to get as close to $190 as possible and I got the 10%  on all of the sets that were in my cart even the ones I did not order or are still on BO.

Depends on who you talk to....I got $80 back with no hesitation.....As always YMMV 

Recent update on orders

Both batwings finally arrived safe and sound.....For $159.99 each

As far as other orders i placed several of the orders with phantom stock and wouldn't you know everyone of them got cancelled.....What i did on each order was use $100 vip points on each order as well....On (1) order i forgot to add something to the order but all others i did so i got some sweet deals with both GWP's included

Unless the system automatically updates it now i believe you still have to call to get your points restored...So on every order i had to call and get my points restored...Every rep i talked to not only restored the VIP points but gave me either $20 or $25 extra points for the trouble

So for around a little over $100 after tax or so i'm gonna have (4) blacktron cruisers, (4) polybags and a batch of misc brickheadz, keychains, and small sets....Plus $90 in bonus vip points as well

does not preclude 3rd party

does "in-store" avoid getting orders cancelled?

no - i placed 1 order delivery, 3 for store pick up - all went through.

i placed 3 orders at 3x separate stores.  2 are ready to be picked up.  1 they only had 1 set so they gave me the option of having all 3 shipped which i took.

So I bought 10 Madrigal House, all have LPN number stickers in rough conditions. Would I get trouble if I return all of them?
