So I received my second online LEGO order today. This time it was the Death Star from Target. It was damaged on the corner and I bought this strictly for investment purposes. It looks like it was originally a return since a return slip was inside the LEGO box. What do you guys think I should do? Keep it or return it?

 

 

That BTTF came. Minty. Dunno where Amazon found it. Also no issue so far buying from Barnes & Noble with discount gift cards.

Which BTTF? The Delorean? How much?

Keep it.  That isn't that bad.

Is there a separate thread on box conditions?  So I don't derail this one...

Yup the Delorean. It just popped up on Amazon for MSRP.

Ask the folks in the Grand Emporium, Haunted House, or Super Star Destroyer thread if they regret returning sets when it was in and out of stock around this time last year.

I have a couple DS that are in similar shape, if not much worse.  I am holding onto them.  You never know when "last call" at the bar will be.

Jeff banned anyone that confessed to returning a Town Hall.

 2 of my SSDs are dented similar to that. 3 others are absolutely trashed courtesy of Walmart. The inner boxes are still sealed, albeit dented. The outer box looks like it went through a wood chipper.

I am SO glad I kept them all.

As long as the seals are intact, it would be wise to keep it.  As you get more shipments, you'll soon realize that that's nothing compared to some of the damage you'll get.  I once got a HH that was shipped without a box, seals and box completely busted, and the carrier taped it shut with tons of packing tape.  What a mistake it would have been to return that.  I ended up quick flipping it for $50 profit, but could have gotten an extra $100+, in damaged condition, if I held it until now.

Thanks for all the advice, I'm going to hold onto it for now and see if I can find another. I do have 90 days to return it so I have a while to decide.

Target ships Death Stars almost faster than Kmart ships Death Star Troopers.  

Seal codes on my Target Death Stars were _ _R4. 

I attempted to purchase two Pet Shops from target about a week apart and the second one was canceled, I am guessing due to sales limits. Does anyone know how long those sales limits on each item are in place for?  A month? Forever? Thanks!

From my experience, it's random.

Very niiiice. 

I'm having bad luck with my online orders. This time I received a Pet Shop from Amazon and the box was creased/bent in multiple areas. Going to end up returning it.

I usually ask for a discount rather then return.  Sounds like everyone else returns them.

These started showing up.

 

 

 

What is the story on this?  Was this Amazon?  Did you get four 75919 for $65 total or each?  That's outstanding.

Got my first batch from Amazon UK in a speedy fashion in a suprisingly undamaged shipping box which had 3 minty Town Squares.
