exciter1 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Just got a message from LSH to inform me that the 2 sets of RR that I ordered will NOT be shipping due to the demand exceeding their expectation and that the set is no longer available. Glad I picked up 4 more of these at the local B&M store this weekend. Ordered them on Oct 2nd when they blinked back in Im guessing.I'm still waiting for folks to report what seal codes are on the REs they receive this week too. Quote
zskid00 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I purchased a few DAs on Kmart.com this morning. They increased the prices on all of their remaining JW sets above MSRP. Quote

There's a massive restock coming, and these will be available in mass until 2017! Well shooot... Quote

fossilrock Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I noticed all the sets are now Temporarily Out of Stock on the site, again. And you weren't the only one here to receive that message. I think that's telling.. Alright, let me go pull all of those misguided arrows out of my back 1 Quote
zskid00 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I've got some Raptor Escapes that are still in warehouse today. What date did you order those longshot? Quote

Huskers1236 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I'm still waiting for folks to report what seal codes are on the REs they receive this week too.Mine are due here on Wednesday, I'll let you know. My Raptor Rampage showed up last week, so everything from my order has now processed and been shipped. 1 Quote
zskid00 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I have 2 incoming today. Will let you guys know seal codes later. 2 Quote
Sandwraith Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 There was a child and parent behind me today in the TRU line while checking out (had 2 RR's in my hands) and the kid tells his mother he really wants JW Lego for X-mas. She was like: "well ok, don't you worry Santa will get them" Poor little Timmy, mother probably doesn't even know a shortage is coming! And no i did not take these over letting a kid have them, i left 1 RR on the shelf, and a bajaliion Pterodactyls In other news a local TRU had 2 fresh cases of IR, all 38r5 codes (everything else was still 31-33r5). Did some Bricktober magic on some of em to soften the blow. 2 Quote
longshot Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 The TRU around here haven't had these in for months now...............POOF!!!! Quote

zskid00 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 37R5 on my RE sets from Shop at Home today Quote
fossilrock Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I didn't get RE's, yet but I got the other one's, and the latest code i've recieved so far is 36r5 on RR's, and PC's. I got some DA's that were all 20r5..All sets bought at TRU. Edited October 5, 2015 by fossilrock Quote
tacsniper Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 37R5 on my RE sets from Shop at Home todayNo matter what the seal code is, at this point we will be wiping this set out if we see it on the shelve. Unless WM start having unlimited supply of this set, otherwise it will remain "hard to find" for little Timmy Quote

Unless WM start having unlimited supply of this set, otherwise it will remain "hard to find" for little TimmyI couldn't resist and wiped out pretty much every set in my geographical area from RE size up. I got some strange looks..but the recent cancelled orders and lack of ordering capability have me sold on the fact that TLG can't get enough of these to retailers before the holidays. I've surmised that when stock was at OOS, ship in 30 days, they got enough orders to convince them to shut it down. Even worse than not being able to order it from S&H would be parents ordering it and then not getting it until the new year. I wonder how many orders they would have gotten during 2x VIP + train and Black Friday gingerbread house promo... Quote
tacsniper Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I wonder how many orders they would have gotten during 2x VIP + train and Black Friday gingerbread house promo...I was planning to go hard on IR and RE (if orderable) during 2x VIP and lots for the train and gingerbread promo... but thats moot now unless we can order again.

Possibly some stock for Black Friday, but current trends suggest the horde would devour that stock. Not to mention parents who want these sets under the tree this year. Quote
Loghamel Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Picked up two IR today at B&M from the Monday truck (favorite day of week) and both were 37R5. They were the only JW items on the truck. 2 sets. Nothing else. Quote

fossilrock Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 What i'm starting to like is the number of resellers on amazon are depleting rather quickly. Most of these sets were hovering around 130 sellers or so about a month ago when that other wave of restock hit at many sites. At that point, I started to get a little bit of the fear that things were going to take forever to move up. Now some of these sets that haven't been back in stock in high numbers have dropped in sellers quite a bit. So, obviously there have been brisk sales on these over the last month. Those sitting on DA's, IR's, RE's, and GT's are sitting pretty, if there is no more substantial restock, because all of those sets don't have more than 70 resellers. RR, and Trex are still quite high, but that's ok. Raptor Escape has thinned quite a bit over the last month, and it's price is finally about to break a 100. I'd suspect it to thin even more when Amazon's holiday sales criteria kicks in, and it will be over 130 quite quickly (3x baby).. When you weigh these vs sets like petshop, red5, ds, etc, all that currently have over 150 resellers, I think it bodes well for long term value. The real question is it worth even flipping these for christmas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECm7HI6MKdo Quote

Little gamble to try and sell them between now and Christmas. If there is a big restock, sets can always be returned, and if they don't restock I don't know if the hoarders even have enough stock to satiate the Xmas market. Quote
