My UCS MF shipped from Wal-Mart & should be arriving today. Meaning I've got a matter of hours to figure out what I'm going to say to my wife.

I told my wife about it yesterday after my order updated to "shipped" but I still don't know where I'm going to put the box, let alone build the set.  She wasn't as concerned once I told her how much of my Christmas LEGO sales I was planning to use for paying our cc bill.  

Another cancelled Walmart order.  They suck.

cancellations from walmart for me appears to be repeat purchases of an item.

Probably best to lead with "You will never guess how much I saved!"

I got my $20 Thank you gift card from Michaels today, coincidentally right after I picked up my baseball bat displays. I definitely appreciate them reaching out like that!

Well, my Walmart UCS Falcon arrived today... in the rain.  Thx UPS for sitting it upside down in a puddle on my front step.   *Sigh*  So much for being cleaver about having Walmart ship it. 

The top was so wet that the actual MF box is wrinkled.  No Walmart box, just the LEGO shipping box which is so soaked on the top that I had to make sure the folds didn't tear when I opened it.  The whole thing is airing out now.  Glad I bought this one for a build, otherwise I might have been really upset.  Now I'm just thankful I actually got it.  

Sorry to those whose orders got cancelled.  

Brick Bank from Amazon already shipped, and I even selected the slow shipping.

My $600 MF from Walmart has just arrived ... !! They cancelled all my previous orders and this got shipped .. I forgive you Walmart....

Yippeee! My 6 Creator Treehouses are ready for pickup at Wally.

My MF shipped with Walmart for in-store pickup. Been delayed twice already. Last tracking information was two days ago saying "on truck for delivery." Not a huge deal, but I'm starting to get annoyed because I just want the dang thing already. 

One of my B&N orders was split into two shipments for whatever reason earlier in the week.  The first arrived and the second was later cancelled.  Luckily the first contained the HP Minifigures, so I was able to get that for ~$50 instead of $75.

The bonus is that Target had the sets that were cancelled and I was able to get them with the 30% off Cartwheel offer this morning!

Thanks B&N for helping me save some money!

Got the SW set from S@H today. damn it is so cheap looking and flimsy, I didn't even bother taking a pic.

Hmmm, pics or it didn't happen?

yaaaay! time to check your email recent target shoppers  

just got 11 emails from target telling me that orders i placed won't get here on time for xmas but fortunately they were covered by the arrive by Christmas guarantee which means....

more free gift cards from target -  ????  

looks like my tarnished holiday memories are worth $5 and/or $10 per order.

Received a delivery update and my Amazon 10261 Roller Coaster will be here sooner than expected, 12/27.

Oh, and my RRP Emma’s House from Amazon that I bought Tuesday shipped and should be here tomorrow. Sometimes the time machine is good for online orders too.

How on earth did you get an Emma’s house for that price?

Small screwdrivers are hard on the hands!

One of my Old Fishing Stores from Amazon... They left it out in the rain. Pretty heavy water damage on one side.

Too bad I already had the one from my own build come Friday!!
Letting air and dry out right now.. Thankfully one side is actually dry, thoughts on keeping or returning?

Amazon will probably refund a decent amount and let you keep it.  They have no use for that set.
