KingKiwi Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 LOL - it may be worth checking the seal codes on 70840 Apocalypseburg as Lego could've sneakily resurrected that too and Hamleys are the first to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKiwi Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Crocodiles from John Lewis: I was quite pleased when they arrived in a sealed carton, but then I opened it..... I'm currently on hold for customer services as I'd like to see if they can offer any kind of discount as I intend to build one anyway. If I don't get at least 30% off, they're going back. There was only one layer of clear tape on the box, so they must have left Lego like this. I'd expect this from Argos, but not John Lewis. I'm now going to check all my sealed cartons at both ends, just in case. Edited September 29, 2020 by BorderTerrier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After an hour trying to get through to a human with a brain, John Lewis have just put a £50 credit on my account that I've accepted meaning that these 2 Crocodiles work out at £47 each via their MYLEGO20 code. I'll build the one with the hole in it and not sure what I'll do with the other one yet, perhaps flip for close to RRP nearer Xmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Zero at the end so no panic 😉 I'm no expert as I just looked it up. I typically return sets with a B and R in the seal code as China and Mexico have had issues with colour accuracy. I "think" I read this on a Brickset article a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Feeling a little guilty. Bought some sets from a Military Exchange. They came in just a polybag and both came damaged. One worse than the other. Nothing super bad. Just one with a huge crushed corner and the other with a dented one. I inquired what would be my options via live chat. The customer service rep just immediately gave me a full refund. I replied that a full refund was not necessary, as a partial refund would be adequate. She said that it was already put in the system. So now I got both sets for free. I haven't complained about box condition in a long time, in fact most of the time the sets come damaged and I just accept it and move on. In this instance, I noticed the sets just went on sale and was just hoping to get the current sale price. They went on sale a day after I placed my order. I guess I will just order more sets from the store to help even out the karma 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 From Target... a few Claus Brickheadz arrived individually wrapped in Target polybags and the rest were shrink-wrapped!? 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichiroll Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 mine came shrunk-wrapped as well. Hoping it will help maintain box condition of the otherwise pretty flimsy BrickHeadz boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Mine did also. I have no idea the purpose of it, besides avoiding some scratching. It offers zero crush protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Same here. And they were in a box! Unlike the sets I received in a garment bag and returned to the store the day before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjoman Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Can anyone give some advice with BRICKLINK,,,, Spent about $1000 of which $170 was S&H, packaged was trashed and seller is making me go through hoops to get the claim filed through the PO on MY end? I have spent a week and HOURS trying to get it figured out. I didnt send it so I cannot file a claim and they are telling me I need a proof of damage form which the USPS will not give me....any suggestions Edited October 19, 2020 by Banjoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 What did you buy that cost $170 to ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichiroll Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Landrover Defenders arrived from Zavvi. Used the Lego case carton and filled half of it with air pillows. Happy with the condition and also because my air pillow supply has been replenished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DadsAFOL Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Maybe I’m out of the loop but since when do non-D2C sets come from LEGO in a single case shipper? 70431 ordered from Amazon. Would be nice if this is the start of a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if this is the start of a trend. I’ve received a few random sets shipped like this from Amazon. I remember the Solo Falcon, original Saturn V, Vader’s Castle, but there might have been others too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Zavvi AT-AT shipment arrived in a very nice box with air pillows, but not so many that it was caved in. Target shipment arrived with an actual box, but no padding inside. Pretty sad that I'm happy only one of the four had slight damage. If Target had them in stock locally without damage, I would have picked them up. *Sigh* Seriously, Target can't get anything right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickvoyeur Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Apparently the Cargo Trains are coming in individual boxes. First of the 6 I ordered. My 2 year old's pumpkin is apparently standing guard. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSam Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I wonder if Amazon and TLG came to some kind of supply chain deal to provide sets individually boxed like this given it all gets reshipped out? It would make a lot of sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
