I ordered mine early on when some good discounts were available and most of them shipped via Fedex shipped from Target's Saint Louis warehouse and they all arrived 2 to a lego factory case inside a huge target box with plenty of air pillows and random pieces of large bubble wrap. Those all arrived mint. Had not received anything in a lego factory case from Target since Town Halls Oct 2014 so that was a nice surprise. The last batch of Tumblers shipped from California with no lego case but very tight fitting boxes via UPS. About half of those were damaged but Target shipped out replacements via 2 day air and those all arrived mint. I know from experience that Target resells damaged returns as new so at the end it is just a cycle of returns being shipped out. I always make sure to buy early from Target as the end is always messy and discounts are wiped out by the time needed to deal with Target CS.

Guest Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I just got an EV and a Tumbler from Target. Both MINT. All mine come from the Indianapolis warehouse and they are always packaged well and in great shape. Don't be too jealous though, because the trade off to that is I have to live in the midwest.

I assume I get the same outlet since I'm in iowa. Mine haven't come mint once. Amazon I've only had to send back a few times. Target almost every time. I won't use them unless I have to anymore. I don't understand the seals thing. Target is the only place I've bought where seals are loose. Could be because they box with no room for movement but up and down and it rubs seals loose? Idk.. but it's frustrating. Edited January 8, 2016 by conceptmachine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickU Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Its pretty mind boggling that Target went from selling 300+ per week 4 weeks ago to 300+ per day. Ebay definitely sped up the process with this historical run of a large modular selling so quickly. Lego told Target to open up the flood gates and get'm sold.......Lego wants these gone for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
