When the Snowglobe went live at midnight, at the moment I did all my purchases, the list of sales was practically empty! Darn it. Even at 2am when I was on the site the 20% only showed up after you put the items on your cart. It was just a coincidence that I was actually intending on getting the Winter Toy Shop anyways.

I was tempted to do that as well, but restrained myself to $100 to meet the minimum to get the Snowglobe. I sold all my globes last year and regretted not keeping one for my personal collection.

lobo1969 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Winter Toy Shop on backorder now. I actually went with 2x Adventure Times (20%off) to get promos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stragus Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 17 hours ago, WCH said: Wouldn't the 2 promos be hard to sell? Speaking from my narrow experience, I can say that if you list 10-50 Snowglobes on BrickOwl/BrickLink at 25 USD, someone from the U.S. will grab them all to put on eBay down there. That should be easy enough. Selling them individually may be difficult in Canada due to the high shipping cost, and you'll probably have to wait until November/December. Demand for the Piggy bank appears low... But the parts are good, a big stack of them would be interesting to a seller of parts (like me).

Last Christmas, I had no trouble selling the Snowglobes locally for $30-$40 on kijiji. I'm sure the same would apply this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a few winter toy shops with 2 black widows to just get over the $100 mark. Still want more! I would get more if the piggy bank wasn't sold out! ah ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stragus Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hrm, I'm having a little dilemma. I have received an extra LEGO Shop at Home package that wasn't mine, there's about $40 worth of sets plus the two promotional items. I am very tempted to do the Right Thing: call Lego, say that someone is missing their order and how to return it. But I'm also afraid of drawing any attention to my account or purchase history, as it definitely shows signs of being a reseller's. Anyone has experience regarding what Lego does in such circumstances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just keep it and I am sure if you called, they would say the same thing. Edited August 2, 2017 by lego rules 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're feeling the need to do the right thing, bring it to your local LEGO store and return it there without giving your personal info. Or donate the sets.

I am sure someone is waiting for their package and is probably freaking out wondering where it is with their tracking showing as delivered but nothing on their front porch.

I realize I wasn't precise. The package and shipping label were addressed to me. The paper invoice (and matching content) indicate the real customer is several provinces away.

If you are that worried about getting your account flagged (I don't think you need to worry), do you know anyone else who orders from LEGO and wouldn't need to worry? You just need to identify the invoice number to them (so they can notify the customer) and they'll give you a return authorization. It doesn't matter if the return is from your house or a friend's.

Thumper Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) They used to include a pre-printed return shipping label/sticker attached to the bottom half of the packing slip inside the shipping box, not sure if they still do this or not as I haven't purchased anything significant from tlg where I actually stopped to look.

ChristopherJB Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Batcave on sale: https://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Batman-Classic-TV-Series-Batcave-76052 Cheaper than walmart now and you can rack up those VIP points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwraith Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 So any of you guys planning on being at a Lego store next Thursday morning for the Falcon? I'll place an order online just in case, but would love to have it day 1. For a purchase this big i'd normally wait for a sale or something, but since i sold off my 10179, i'll basically break even on this purchase and that's fine with me. Anyways just curious, I'll be going to the Sherway location in Toronto (assuming they'll actually have more than 1 or 2, will have to see if they can tell me what they get in beforehand) i'm certainly not doing overnight camping or anything crazy, but i will probably have to be there early in the morning.

I was thinking along same lines as you. If order goes through online, may still hit up the store and be there around 8am or so. I am not quite as inpatient as I use to be so if I don't get it day 1, it won't matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try to buy if there is a surprise last minute announcement of limited edition marked sets but otherwise I won't rush out to buy this. This set will be around for the next 2 years guaranteed and I suspect a lot longer so plenty of time to buy. Ask me again if we ever see another 3xVIP opportunity in Canada.

Unless you plan to flip on first 2 weeks, don't bother. This one is easily going to collect some dust for the next 3-4 years. The size of the falcon is not worth the shelf space. Better off you go load up some fingerlings unicorn first for this x'mas rather than the falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a personal build Even for personal build, you won't have to worry, I don't think people would be getting excited over a $900 set and wanting to lineup for those, especially not in Toronto. Lineups are at the Air Canada center waiting to see the Toronto Maple Leafs. $900 is not something anyone can just fork out especially with sky high property prices and bills to pay.
