Is this good or bad? Surly if they had any coming in it would give you the shipping in 30 days or some waffle like that?  I noticed the UK Lego site has shipping from early September!

These are the left-overs under someone's desk...

I can see LEGO Shop at Home making more for themselves but not really for Walmart. Just my opinion, of course...

Dang that was quick, poofed. Hopefully just another case of someone finding a box.

certainly poofed too quick to be a major restock, though possible the slipped in some production.  I would assume any production at this point will mostly end up spread around wallmarts.

So just got back from Legoland and they had several RE on the shelf, I visit nearly weekly and they have had hardly any JW but this week they had quite a bit!

So the seal codes were.....drum roll

 

 

 

20R15   ...... still shipping out the old sets!     They either had them for a while and didn't put them out or Lego is still getting rid of all its stock!   I picked up another 4!

There was some legitimate suspense from that drumroll. :phew:

Its all been an illusion, there is no RE outage they are all just in the girly isle at Walmart and no one thinked to look!  I feel like a dumb ass now!

I always check the girls every time I'm in WM. Some people like to hide things above or down below so you have to bend down and hunt for things.

I'm curious guys, what's your plan for RE if it does come back in full force?  I have 20 that can be returned till mid Oct will you return them, flip them or maybe still keep them?   Or wait it out to see how much of a restock we get?  Never been in this position before so wanted to ask the elders :)

I can't seem to help myself buying them when I come across them!

I don't play the return game and neither should any re-sellers. The system is not meant to be used that way. I buy what I can afford to lose; no different than playing blackjack in the casino. I am sure the dealer will not return your money because you made a bad judgement call after you bust.

I am sitting on over 50 of these. I will be begin to unload them at 2x. I do believe this set will be capped by 75917 just because of better minifigs plus a vehicle that was in the movie.

Absolutely agree.  If you couple the (apparently increasing) rate of scumbags returning pilfered sets to stores with resellers working to massively manipulate retailer stock, I think it is inevitable that stores will implement more stringent return policies.  Pretty much everyone loses if that happens.

In this specific set, I remain skeptical that LEGO would call it quits on this set this early and am not overly optimistic about the overall ceiling on prices.  I QFLL a good fraction of what I have bought so that the profit  pays for the small fraction I will hold longer.  Then I am playing with house money where it is very hard to lose regardless of what LEGO decides to do with this set.  (Clearly this implies I lie closer to the "resell to pay for my LEGO habit" than "resell for maximum return" end of the spectrum).
