Not multiple orders (from TRU ebay) but multiple RI on one order in the first wave.

My cancelled ebay order was from first wave a little after 9:30am PST. Now I can't help but wonder what is going to happen to the TRU.com orders now.. 

First wave.

I know with 41999, I had orders in at TRU.com during one of the first batches, they sat there backordered for 3-4 weeks, then canceled.  A week later, people placed orders when a few popped up on their website and they got them.  I did get a 10% discount on my next online order, but there really was no rhyme or reason to it.

that's crap .. i had my hopes high .. that i finally managed to get my order in when they came back this afternoon.. these guys playing with people's feeling now ....

 

don't understand why they would cancel the morning order and re-list items this time they re-listed for 63. so, it was 100 sold in the morning and another 63 in the afternoon ...

Maybe Lego slapped them upside the head for listing with no limits.. After all, the purchase history is was right there for the world to see. Okay, that is some wild speculation, sorry!

 

Speaking of Lego slapping people upside the head, where the hell are Amazon, Walmart and Target's allocation of these??? Weird stuff...

that was the end of TRU-Ebay. they took out the listing .. so its gone for now hopefully forever ... LOL

OK for everyone who has been waiting to hear on my RI shipment of 30, so you can feel excited or depressed on the condition of yours from Toys R Us......

biting nails...  on my legs....

The box looked pretty good.
They were all loose in one box with no padding and a very few bubble pads.
See attached pictures.
 
Overall results - 21 in excellent shape.  9 in not perfect shape.  Only about 2 of them approaching significant compression.
 
Not perfect but I am happy.
 
I'll discount those 9 some after I think about it.
 
I think another wave is coming I am going to unload most.

 

I have pictures to upload but I am having a heck of a time finding an image link insert.  I'll figure it out soon I suppose.

Since I am figuring out image posting, I'll try this link on the box and add more if it works.

 

nose-dive!

That's why it does make sense to break up orders to smaller batches...  Had similar issues -  when box is above certain weight, it does not survive the falls
