Will do . $15 USD = $20 AU and I probably overestimate fees by $5 as a habit , rather than underestimate. As ebay and paypal fees are often higher than you think, when you have a good look at the percentage that you are paying over the year compared to sales. It is good profit. But it is not the 2 x retail that is being said. Hopefully it should go up though.

I agree, I over estimate as well on all areas of my selling. Having said that though, I do buy in bulk and use a variety of different service providers for shipping. I have a store that also lowers the fees.

I'm not seeing Jurassic World under the themes on LEGO Shop at Home

That was discussed a few days ago. No one here knows what it truly means but I think we have decided that S@H pulled the sets from the site because they can't meet consumer demand right now. I think you can still search each set individually.

Which is worse - to have the sets not appear as a theme or to have them appear but see the OOS 'till Feb. information? Seems lose-lose to TLG for parents who want these sets to put under the tree. I wonder how many complaints they'll get about the high secondary market prices for JW sets from now till Xmas.

That only happened in the US, looks like it's happened throughout the rest of the world now as well in the last few hours.

you cant even find the sets by searching anymore (on Lego Europe LEGO Shop at Home) - the only way i could get to them was via the Top Sellers page - where even 75915 and 75916 is temp OOS.

Picked up 8 Raptor Esacapes at a Walmart last night. There was nothing else from the entire line available. The local TRU was also empty, and I hit a Lego store and all they had were 3 Indominus Rex.

You need a new line.  :)  We're the closest proxy to the US market there is, If they don't have it in Toronto, that's a worthwhile sign. Gonna go de-ice my igloo.  Mutter grumble.....

Amazing how different two markets can be, considering the proximity and relative lack of trade barriers.

8 RE's at a single Walmart hasn't happened in MONTHS across the entire US.

Something like "caterpillars don't wear brown boots"? That doesn't make sense?

I've only seen Raptor Escape 3 times up here and I cleaned them out the last 2 times. I think we're quite similar.

OK, so its a rare occurance.

It seems that through September and into October, many Canadian members reported seeing RE everywhere, whereas it had been gone from US Walmarts in July or August.

Its funny though how 4-5 posts can be extrapolated into representative fact for entire nations :)

Yesterday when I was doing my TRU shopping, I heard a mother say to her young son "Let's see if we can find the Jurassic Park [sic] sets."  I didn't have the heart to tell her she's too late to find them very easily at retail this year.

Apparently I can order RE from Walmart for $75 for an Oct. 30th pickup in store.

Could vary across Canada of course (it is a big place afterall), but this is still sitting on many of my WM's shelves in the GTA, i can only grab/flip so many! I think a Canadian member reported that many locations got 1-2 cases in the past week, so that could be why.

Even when it popped back into stock at walmart.ca about ten days ago, and I ordered four...a 'we can't fulfill this order' email came a couple days later. 

I have my friends and family looking for them every time they shop in case a few pop back on the shelves, but I'm being pretty vigilant about keeping JW sets from Timmy in my entire geographical region.

Early in September half of the Walmarts in my city got some, the others got nothing. Now it's showing they have stock again at the one in particular I cleaned out. Might have to go back and check. :)

Newmarket is bare I'll say that. TRU and Walmart.

Keep it that way! I'm hoping to ship quite a few sets in and around Ontario. It simply wouldn't do if folks could go to a local B&M store to get JW sets...
