redghostx Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 $50k in merch is inconsequential to Target. Except in Canada, where $50k was probably a month's worth of a sales for a typical store LOL 2 Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Just a reminder that contest entries closed at midnight EST last night. I would like to extend it but it can put individuals who guessed last night at a disadvantage as the time window continues to potentially narrow and make newer predictions easier. Quote
ISO8T0 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 427 left ? where? LEGO Shop at Home has Out of stock, expected ship date 20 Feb 2015. I would imagine that these are "at sea" and on their way, but I wonder how many they will get. Quote
zskid00 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I did my part and just bought 2 more from TRU using discounted gift cards. I probably won't get any more until double VIP or LEGO May 4th promotions start if they last that long. Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 427 left Whats up? Did they restock already? Quote
newbie77 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Whats up? Did they restock already? LOL, if you allowed my entry i will surely win .... 2 Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Looks like exciter bombed the thread with an unclear post and moved on. LOL Quote
mudcatsfan Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Turn off alerts. That was... My point isn't that i'm getting too many alerts, my point was that i LOVE 100 alerts that involve discussion of Red 5, but i don't like to sift through 200 of them to separate the contest entries from the real content. * the alternative would have been a different topic for the contest. It was intended to be a tongue-in-cheek complaint, as i hoped to illustrate by entering the contest myself at the end of my post. (first world problems) Edited January 29, 2015 by mudcatsfan 5 Quote
exciter1 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Looks like exciter bombed the thread with an unclear post and moved on. LOL Sorry, did I say something? Quote
mudcatsfan Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Sorry, did I say something? 427 left. But from where? And how do you know? Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Sorry, did I say something? You know you did! Unless you posted in the wrong thread? What mudcatsfan said. Quote
P_R_Rice Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 $50k in merch is inconsequential to Target. Exactly and if I'm target and have had an item sitting in my warehouse(s) likely since 2013 and it finally disappears. And I see the way all of the newer lego items are moving and flying off the shelves.... I'm probably saying to myself, "thank god those are gone." Not, "we should push lego to produce more of these."

Veegs Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 For your (everyone with R5) sakes, I hope LEGO did not see the sudden increase in demand for R5 and decided to put it back in the production queue. If it indeed has to be put back into the production queue, something else needs to get bumped! Would you rather OOS on new sets with high demand or retire old sets if you were TLG? Quote

trekgate502 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 We are like a rat in a bucket of water and exciter1 has the lid and keeps smiling at us and doing nothing. I am not convinced that the 427 count is Toys R Us count as of today but he sure is enjoying this. LOL Quote
No More Monkeys Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Went to "ships in 30 days" at LEGO Shop at Home USA Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 NMM What was it before, ship in 30 days with a date or thats what I thought it was? Quote
MadManic Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Oh man, I wanna enter the contest too! Since I'm not living in in EST but in MET, I think I qualify for a late entry. And since I'm still moderated my entry would probably have been in time if I would have been allowed to post real time (and even if it wasn't I'm gonna use it as an argument anyway...). I'll go for November 15, 2015. You can send the prize on November 16 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) If it indeed has to be put back into the production queue, something else needs to get bumped! Would you rather OOS on new sets with high demand or retire old sets if you were TLG? We all know TLG's production plan was not set in stone. With enough lead time, it can be changed. There is still a lot of time before the premiere date of SW VII (assuming this is a coordinated marketing ploy). I was just thinking of a different angle than the boring is this thing OOS / retired yet questions. Everyone here seems to know how TLG works 100%, providing an opinion contrary to the hoarding herd is futile :D Edited January 29, 2015 by Darth_Raichu Quote
asharerin Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I am guessing they have a boatload of pieces and boxes for this set sitting in Mexico. Still holding out for May 4th 50% off blowout. 2 Quote

Darth_Raichu Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Btw, my OOS guess is completely wrong as TRU still has R5 in stock. What are you guys doing all day ??? Quote
