TheOrcKing Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Perhaps the lack of lego stores in all markets, and the refusal to deal with toysrus and their mark ups keep people away from technic. If Walmart and Target carried this line at 20% off lego retail----there would be a lot more fans. A lot more.Once upon a time, Technic sets were available at Walmart and Target but somewhere down the line the entire theme has become a Toys R Us exclusive and I have absolutely no idea why. Too bad really because there have been some great designs lately but the only place I could buy them from are two diifferent stores (Toys R Us & Lego Store) nowhere near me.

kenchu2000 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 OK, just received an email from toysrus on the 4x4 crawler I ordered couple hours ago. My order got cancelled and they sent me a full refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roto22 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Mine was cancelled too. How hard is it to keep accurate inventory? Did anyone's order from this past batch go through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coneil21 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Did anyone's order from this past batch go through? Mine was cancelled and after my purchase it said only 2 sold at that point. So Im guessing none went thru, or just the one person who checked out before me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it is possible they have the sets but are cancelling orders from buyers that have bought one previously on TRU ebay since they have the 1 set Limit.

Hasnt paid for his crawlers he bought a total of 4 from me ... Getting alittle worried here He's totally legit (so far). I sold him 2 last week and it did take him a day or two to pay. Maybe he's waiting for the end of the week for cash flow issues which wouldn't be abnormal. One of the accounts appear to be a business account and the other is a personal account just for buying all his crawlers. Lots of people have multiple eBay accounts to separate selling from buying. If I were him, I'd try and wait until after the 17th. If the politicians don't come to an agreement, it might spike the exchange rate in his favor.

kenchu2000 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks toysrus for cancelling my order today. I went to the Lego store after work and surprisingly they had one 4 x 4 crawler on the shelf. Picked one up without any issues. Also picked up the two remaining Transformer Metroplex from Costco. Now I just need to figure out how to flip this baby for some profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raykong Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 San Jose has crawlers. They are putting only one on the shelf at a time, and I saw them deny someone a purchase once he gave them his VIP info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
