Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Local store also told me to check back tomorrow...hopefully they will get more Quote
Jackson Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 If anyone thinks these aren't wanted, here is your proof of the opposite: I put one of mine up on Ebay because it was in stupidly mint condition and most the others on Ebay had problems. I listed it for $330 plus shipping (after I would make close to 100 bucks flipping it). International buyer bought it through the global shipping program. What was his order total? $525.99!!! That may give us a clue what these could be worth later. wow. Do you have to do anything different when shipping through the Global Shipping Program? Such as printing out a GSP-approved packing slip or shipping label? Quote
ringonu Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Got mine today. Had a 4 inch crease on the back corner. I would be upset but after looking at the ebay prices I think I can still get a good price. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Do you have to do anything different when shipping through the Global Shipping Program? Such as printing out a GSP-approved packing slip or shipping label? Nope you just straight up ship it to the center like a normal package. They take care of everything else. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 DNIIM I would just pay cash with no VIP card as that way they won't be able to tell you have bought any before. It's not worth the risk if you go there and use your VIP card and they refuse to sell it to you and you miss out on any easy 50%-100%+ ROI flip. I went ahead and used my VIP card, honestly because they asked me if I had one and I replied Yes without thinking. Anyway, it worked fine. I got one and my buddy that came with me got one - the other 3 had been sold. What really made the trip even more worth it? They had Orc Forges at 31,98!!! I only grabbed two because I have already bought 6 from Lego, but I may go back another day as they had like 30 of them. I will just pay cash and buy as many as they will let me. Quote
TheDarkness Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Honestly, I tend to agree with Mr Vicious So do I. The hysteria and paranoia being whipped up is ridiculous Quote

TheDarkness Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 This is out of control and spiralling. Wait until all the international buyers receive theirs! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEGO-41999-TECHNIC-4X4-CRAWLER-EXCLUSIVE-EDITION-LIMITED-SEALED-BRAND-NEW-/251317677226?pt=UK_Construction_Toys_Kits&hash=item3a83b36caa&_uhb=1 Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 lol one of the buyers that bought one of the ones I flipped is returning it. So happy!!! 1 Quote

Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Sent me a picture showing a small crease on the box. I'll take it lol Quote
TheDarkness Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Sent me a picture showing a small crease on the box. I'll take it lol Must be another investor. Anyone purchasing for themselves right now would be smart enough to grab it and run because they will only pay more to open it Quote
Quacs Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Sent me a picture showing a small crease on the box. I'll take it lol Unreal - great for you FCB! You wearing your horseshoe today? Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 It's been a pretty decent day. Bought a bunch of retired sets as well that could make me a $500 profit or so . There are some sets I really wanted to build too, so that's a bonus. Yeah, it's probably another investor, but if he does not have one why would he return it anyway? My guess is he found one at a local LEGO store or got some from TRU. Who knows. Quote

The guy that went with me today got one and just left it with me to flip for him. I am wondering if I should give it like a week, or just throw it up for $500 and wait until its worth that... in like 2 days probably. I'm gambling with my other one. Keeping it until forever. Quote

TheDarkness Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 $169.99??? Bargain. It does seem odd Lego would distribute some to TRU though Quote
bmw328i2008 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Damn!! I knew I should have checked this topic today Quote
bmw328i2008 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Anybody think this will go live again at around 12:00 am. Quote
rcdb1984 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 what the heck is this? http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=23263636&prodFindSrc=search Is this an exclusive or whats going on here? Quote
lowillsw Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 So for anyone that has had the issue - I am going to pick another up at a Lego store in a little while. I have purchased one online. Should I not use my VIP account? Should I just pay cash? The guy told me there was a strict limit of 1 per household. I got more than a few on 1 VIP. Shouldn't be an issue. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 what the heck is this? http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=23263636&prodFindSrc=search Is this an exclusive or whats going on here?this link posted a few pages back this morning, some were able to order before it was gone, it has gone in and out of stock all day, no one here has heard that it was a TRU exclusive so I don't know what to make of this.
