legopocalypse Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So I ordered 17 total sets yesterday in 3 separate orders Order 1) x4 Epic Dragon Battle Order 2) x4 Helms Deep Order 3) x3 Vampyre Castle, x3 Epic Dragon Battle, & x3 Helms Deep The 1st order of 4 epic dragon battles went through but Target cancelled my other 2 orders. I called and they said their policy was they could only sell 5 Lego sets per day online to a customer and that's why they cancelled it as a security measure and also said they were concerned I was reselling these. What a bunch of b.s.! I told the manager it doesn't matter what I do with these and he agreed but said that was just the Policy. He said I could order 5 more sets again today but that sucks cause I wouldn't be able to get yesterday's sale prices. I told him I've never heard of that policy and know tons of people who order more than 5 Legos a day on Target.com and that I was just being singled out. Did anyone else's orders from Target get cancelled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else's orders from Target get cancelled? That's pretty wild. I wonder if Lego themselves had any effect on that, considering the rumors going around in the past that Lego was looking to squash resellers.

Diabolos80 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Toysrus cancelled my order of two (2!) funhouses today. These stores, man I just don't know what to think. If they are trying to single out resellers, I hope they enjoy all the surplus sets they have collecting dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy431 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It has to be lego setting the limits. Why would target care how many you bought. Noticed amzn is starting to set limits online for lego...so are toysrus and lego themselves.Actually looking back...the most I bought of any item was 5....so maybe you really did trip their alarm.

I think they likely cancelled it because you got it for cheaper then they intended to sell it for. If they don't give you the price. Call the better business bureau, I believe they have to honor their mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hmmm. I ordered quite a # of sets with Target.com over the last 3 months. Many duplicate sets in fact. I wonder since I'm registered as a licensed PA retailer if that helps my orders from getting canceled.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEZ96 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Sounds suspicious! I don't understand why target would care? All they want to do is move old stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy431 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Although can lego do this legally? I guess they could in their reseller agreements....as they seem to be the hot toy right now and can call the shots. Activision recently did this with skylanders. Forced retailers to take whatever they shipped...didn't allow them to pick and choose which characters they ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Noticed amzn is starting to set limits online for lego...so are toysrus and lego themselves. Amazon has had limits for years, and not just on LEGO sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroise Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Amazon has had limits for years, and not just on LEGO sets. I have not experienced limits on Amazon (up to 10 or 11 items) until very recently : I wasn't able to buy a VC today (not a single one!), maybe because I already bought one last week... Weird.

sadowsk1 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Interesting post. I've never ordered in volumes like that. Maybe Target will start putting limits on their orders online like other websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopstick Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Do the brick and mortar stores also impose a limit of sets you purchase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Do the brick and mortar stores also impose a limit of sets you purchase? I think it would just be frowned upon. Disappointing they seem to pick off people and just cancel their orders making them miss out on bargains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakinisvader Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 They are "reseller profiling". Shouldn't there be a riot or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
