marcandre Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 My two from amazon are arriving today, we'll check condition. I am concerned with the continued damage to amazon sets. How long before they tell me no more discounts or replacements? I am not sure what that policy is. Mine showed up yesterday from amazon with dinged corners and tears on the box where tap had been torn off. Pretty disappointed, these were the first two I have gotten. For 400 a set we should expect a nice box. Amazon needs to figure out how to ship these or continue to take a high rate of returns. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I'd never have risked Amazon for something so expensive, I bought all my 4 from Lego LEGO Shop at Home with another 4 back-ordered. Box condition is crtical in the UK so, I'd send them back in a heartbeat. Buyers are soooooooooooo demanding here. Quote

MarleyMoose Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Target has the SSD listed as discontinued. Quote
amtrak23 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Target has the SSD listed as discontinued. Where do you see that? Quote
iahawks550 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Target has the SSD listed as discontinued. Now that might be somewhat newsworthy. Plus, no other inventory available since Tuesday? 1 Quote

What browser are you using? I don't see anything using Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer. Quote
sanborn7 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 No that's just how Target shows items that are out of stock. Plus it was in stock a few hours earlier. Quote
johnwray Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I'm not sure how easy this would be, but it would be really helpful to edit a dated summary into the first post in each of these threads so that everyone can see what's going on without reading though 77 pages of muck. Something like: CLIFFS AS OF 6/20: Set has been in production since XX/XX. General consensus is that the set is now on its last legs, so everyone is panic-buying. Super-investors such as Ed Mack and emazers have advised X. Tagged 'Sold Out' on LEGO Shop at Home since XX/XX Periodically appearing on Walmart, Amazon and Target, but poofing within X hours. Quote
BearCrash Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 IE That's weird. On my IE it looks exactly like my Chrome screenshot; no buttons and no "discontinued". Oh well. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 hard to see but it's there. It did not show discontinued when I opened the actual Target page with IE Quote
naf Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I'm seeing the discontinued text with firefox. Try clearing the cache or restarting your browser. Quote
amtrak23 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 zoomed in Can you see if you can find "discontinued" in page source and if so post a screen? Quote
brickelements Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Well this has the potential to suck: Bought two SSD's before the last Poof on walmart.com GIFTING NOTE:This item ships in the manufacturer's original packaging.

I got $63 back on an order of 4, so unfortunately I wouldn't expect much lol. Previously I've gotten pairs in Lego cases before though, so you might get lucky. Quote

This sounds like an "executive summary". I could imagine Jeff/Ed making it a premium feature. Emazers commentary for an extra fee. Quote
amtrak23 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 First order arrived in casepack and is 100% fine. Others will be here tomorrow. One GE casepack got dinged up pretty good, others have all been fine so far. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 This sounds like an "executive summary". I could imagine Jeff/Ed making it a premium feature. Emazers commentary for an extra fee. Hmm, I should get links to his comments and sell them for $8 on eBay. If people can sell links to free pdf LEGO instructions on eBay, imagine the potential customers for his sage advice 2 Quote
