I just went with 1 for a personal build. I couldn't bring myself to spend $90 on various sets that I may not like or may not unload.

You just had to spend $50, not $90. And if you didn’t really want them you could return them after you get your receipt.

Hmmm...not really a big fan of this type of skulduggery.

Not saying anyone should be but that option is out there if you didn’t want to spend the $50.

heads up for anyone still waiting...was just about to give in and buy secondhand on ebay from other scummy resellers to satisfy my preorders when lo and behold, 10 packages popped into my informe delivery list from IXL graphics. 

Only submitted 2 receipts, both were rejected, 1 with invalid address and the other with fake receipt as reasons.  Not sure how they could determine that a valid Walmart store receipt as fake.  As far as I am concerned IXL Graphics can F themselves.

Mine just came in the mail. I’m actually quite surprised at how big it is. Clearly much more could have been done with the packaging but can’t complain to much for a free product 

[starwarsxpress]

It’s $50

 

read the first review the bag is wrong according to the review

So I guess no return of Jane Goodall in the USA and Camp Nou went to BO at 40% off and they are still going to make more?

Just checked, but it's still under LEGO Sale @ 40% off. And I'm still not interested in this. Equally not interested in the ***** Eye set at 40% off. There's a reason Lego dumps these sets at 40% off. They're not selling and just collecting dust in the warehouse.

The Ninjago set on sale was "backorder" for a while a well. My guess is that stores are sending some sets back to the warehouse to move through SAH rather than taking away shelf space. My local store is quite small and they started putting larger sets on the counter and will get one from the back if you want one.

premature celebration. Now they are stuck in limbo with tracking not updating. Meanwhile I need to ship out a couple today else I get dinged by ebay. Is there anyone with a few that could help me satisfy those orders? Maybe we can make an easy off ebay transaction that would help us both. PM me if you want to work something out.

Willing to pay $50 + shipping. Preferably would need to be shipped out today.. PM me..

[Pseudoty]

1 of my F&F orders for the Walmart GWP castle set arrived today, no confirmation or congratulations email.  Still have 2 declined submissions that may ship next but I doubt it.

All taken care of. Thanks @mplsabdullah for smooth transaction and customer service  

[keymomachine]

I've got a couple new IXL Graphics shipments in my USPS informed delivery. My brother got the one I sent him last friday.

“What Lego Set did you build today” post/alert:

Great solid build with none of those super specialty pieces I hate. Just a good old brick built set. I was missing 1 piece, one of the Grey 1X2 slopped bricks but it had an extra 2X2    Slopped brick so swapped them in the front left corner. Hopefully no customer complaints. Definitely not worth $50 or whatever crazy price @Bricklecticpre-sold them at

Did you or anyone else find a good MOC (with instructions) for combining two or more 40567 Forest Hideout's? I like the 3-pack by this builder, but I want something massive.

No, but I haven't been actively looking. I am still waiting to see what someone comes up with for the 10305 Castle. 

[Pseudoty]

So USA gets 40529 again and not the new 40578. Will be waiting until 10/1 now to get the lighthouse if we actually get the new Ideas Castaway set GWP.

Me too! I am sure we will see it at Walmart later in the year, but no Sandwich Shop no purchase for me.

USA did not get the Jane Goodall return 9/1-15 and now no Sandwich Shop 9/16-30.

Does anybody think the custom comic books are worth it?
