Was just checking Sears.ca today to see if they had their usual %20 off and whatnot, and noticed they had some "New Arrivals". Well these new arrivals are in fact older sets. Forbidden Forest is one of them, and while it says "in stock"; once you order it says "backordered will ship May 22nd", so i don't have too much hope for the order being filled.

 

Some of the other items seem be shipping May 1st.

 

Anyways the other sets really aren't anything to get excited about, but figured i'd share to see if anyone else has any luck getting anything fulfilled.

My 2 Ewok Attacks arrived at the Sears store this morning - both boxes in good shape.

So they definitely had stock - just probably not very much.

I kind of wish I had ordered more but at ~$35 each for 166 pieces that's a bit much.

 

Also as a reminder, never ever ever have Sears ship anything to your house. Boxes remain in much better shape when shipped to their stores.

 

Oh and I've ordered quite a lot from Sears (not just Lego but often clearance toys that we put away for future birthdays, christmas, etc.)  and honestly have never had any issues (well, other than how they package shipments to your house)

Glad you got your Ewok Attacks set.  It's a good set...not to many sets have ewoks I guess.  I used some pieces of other sets to MOC a bigger tree

 

From an investment/flipping perspective I was surprised this set didn't do so well for me...I picked up some at Walmart for $15 last year but it took a long time to sell locally.  Maybe ewoks aren't that popular or I was just too impatient.

Yeah it seems they were overpriced. These are for my personal collection so no investment perspective to worry about here. I hope I've got enough Ewok dudes between these and the 2 Ewok Villages and 2 Battle of Endor sets I'll be sitting on for a few years until I finally get around to putting them all together.

I'm glad to hear some people received their orders. There is someone selling ewok attack for $35 locally but the ad has been up for quite a while.

I need to learn how to use CL... I never found the $35 Ewok attack...

 

So... Sears refunded everything back on my CC couple of days ago, then today I saw another charge from them so I called to ask why, and they said one of my sets was already delivered... I'm like "Wha?" So I went and picked it up and it was in pretty good shape! Oh sears, what an awesome shopping experience!

Yeah for collectors/personal use... there seems to be many sets listed on GL/Kijiji at retail price or below on a regular basis. save on taxes and sometimes the set is harder to find/sold out... I guess some people are happy with smaller margins, got great discounts or just want to get of stock. the risks are meeting up with a stranger and trusting set is legit. safest to just open the set there in person if it's sealed and you plan to build it anyways. I've bought a few sets from local sellers because the price was really good.

back on topic... any folks that got forbidden forests and want to do a trade Lmk. Thanks

Lol maybe Im remembering incorrectly, it was the forbidden forest. I did sell my used Ewok attack for $35 earlier though lol.

Sears sent me an e-mail the other day essentially saying: "Sorry an item you wanted wasn't in stock - maybe this item will interest you!" And it was a link to the Fire Lord... which is OOS from what members have been saying here.... oh Sears, haha.

Sears refunded everything back on my CC couple 5 days ago except one order which I only got partial refund.  I called to see any luck they delivered the items to store.  Customer service guy first said I did not return that items that
