To my knowledge, they have only banned people in the USA thus far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MarleyMoose Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm pretty sure there have been a couple Euro bans now as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Val-E Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Might not be hammer related - could be a security check, for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Kenxxx Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Don't call, and don't buy those. You don't need those. These are not the Lego you are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cladner Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I have gotten that message before shortly after buying a bunch of Red5s.First, go put on some new underwear for any soiling that has occurred.Second, call. They told me my credit card didn't work and then I gave them a new one and it was fine.Or you could put in another small order with a different card for payment. If that order gets cancelled, then I think you are in trouble.Calling might be easier. I think the only excuse you can legitimately try use is that you made a fat finger mistake and you really didn't want 5 General Grievous which are like at every walmart around me in abundance.

0 KShine Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Sorry what do you mean KShine?eBay/LEGO have really cut down on this over the years, but it is when a person who has a stolen CC lists items (that they don't really have) on ebay at crazy low prices. When someone buys it, they purchase the set from LEGO (using the stolen CC) and have it shipped to the buyer.Eventually the actual CC holder will contact LEGO, etc. - If LEGO sees this repeated often enough to the same address, LEGO will stop any orders from shipping to that address (at least until they speak to the buyer, to clear up the situation). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Mack Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I would call to find out. To my knowledge, they have only banned people in the USA thus far.People are now getting banned outside the US. Buying five of this set in particular could cause red flags to be raised. It is an awesome set that will be highly sought after this Holiday season. Plus, why would a person need five of these sets unless they were being resold? A giant MOC? Doubt it. Five kids? Really!?!

0 Guest Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I know normal people that have bought 5 copies of small sets as gifts for different people. If lego thinks 5 is such an outrageous number why did THEY chose 5 as the limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brickson Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks for the input so far guys! Well, what if I wanted one for myself, my brother, my coworker. That's 3, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to say I wanted to save 2, one for my future kid, one unopened for collecting. I'll phone them, find out and report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 redghostx Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Maybe he doesn't own the UCS Grievous and needs to build his own using 5 smaller ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dark Helmet Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I had this happen to me when I used a different shipping address then my billing address. They just wanted me to call to make sure I was the one buying it and not a person who stole my credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
