Since today is a one day only thing, I know the focus should be Lego related, but in this thread (outside of the daily deals), I don't care if you post about other really good deals you find as well.  Help others find good stuff and don't be afraid to have fun with this today!

Start preparing for Prime Day today!

Thank you for selling on Amazon.

There's been a number of Minecraft sets running at about 20-30% discounts for a while now.  Never bought into Minecraft before, so:

1) Anyone familiar with the consensus if they're a viable investment?

2) Anyone recall from last year if Prime Day led to a run on existing discounts?  Basically, is there a fair chance Prime Day leads novice buyers to suddenly ****** up the currently discounted LEGO sets (basically all the same discounts we've know about sell out because the masses think they're some special Prime Day pricing)?

I'm wondering in terms of the availability suddenly dropping, I understand the prices aren't expected to change.

Example: 41106 Friends Pop Star Tour Bus is 25% off right now - has been for a few weeks and should be for several weeks to come.  No hurry to buy one, it's not going anywhere and may even drop further before it sells out.  Prime Day I expect to see that same 25% off - no deeper discount.  But if PD generates alot of general public traffic, seeing the 25% discount for the first time, they may sell out.  Therefore it would be better to buy a currently discounted set before PD (since the price isn't going anywhere, but the availability might).

Exactly how I remember it.  Many people posts here and on other web sites about it being underwhelming.

Read any of the articles and Amazon believes it was darn near a complete success.  More sales units than any other day in history (to date), more prime membership signups than any day in history, deals targeted what people want to buy at this time of year, etc.

I expect them to change nothing.  Look for exciting deals on:

  • Partially chewed gum
  • A dustpan of floor sweepings from the corner of the warehouse
  • Blowout pricing on 3 year old Kindles
  • Open container toothpicks.  (The fancy colored kinds)

If Amazon wants this to be a success they should consider waiving or significantly reduce its referral fees. The only ones that can offer the steep discount that it requires in order to be consider in the lighting deals are a bunch of no name crap or items offer directly by the manufacturers or Amazon.com themselves. The average retailer operating with slim margins have no incentive to participate in this promotion just to boost Amazon's brand.
