ExoBro94 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Guys, I'm choosing to divulge this info to you. This is the big one and can be a hit or miss. BTTF sets have begun leaking at LEGO Stores across the country. I was making a delivery at work this morning an was right by my local one, so I decided to drop in. I got there before the store opened. The store only had 12 in stock and I was able to take 4. I will be creating anothe threa very soon about MASSIVELY IMPORTANT info I have received about this whole reselling issue. Let me tell you though, it is not good. The "Golden Age" of reselling LEGO has officially come to a close. More on that soon. Also, the LEGO stores have the Fall Scene polybag in stock. This is not "officially" being sold yet by LEGO on LEGO Shop at Home. Finally, the new LEGO Architecture Studios set is in stock at the stores but not out on display yet. However, the barcode a are in the system and they scan so if you ask for them, they can sell them to you. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. 3 Quote

I may take a quick jaunt there after work... I anxiously await your reseller information... Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Can't be that horrible of news for resellers if they let you buy 4.......just sayin! 1 Quote

Darth Lego Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 The "MASSIVELY IMPORTANT" information doesn't sound great for us investors. I'm getting anxious. They let you buy 33% of their BTTF sets yet they told you new/important information concerning resellers. Quote
brandon90820 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 These are going for $60-80 on ebay right now....!!! I don't understand people... $8 for a polybag??? Quote
choppers605 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 if they are going to be available on lego.com the 1st, what is the hurry????? Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 The news was bad but they still let you get 1/3 of their BttF stocks ? Quote
ExoBro94 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 I was not allowed to buy 4. I was allowed to buy 2 and asked a woman in the store to purchase 2 more for me. So I got 4 but barely. I had an interesting chat with the store manager and clerks. When I go on lunch break, ill write a new thread about that info Quote
ExoBro94 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Seriously guys, it is not looking good for "resellers" at all. Quote
brandon90820 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 if they are going to be available on lego.com the 1st, what is the hurry????? Quick flip before the 1st?? There's still time! HUrryy Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Plus the word of one local Lego store is far from gospel........nonetheless still interested on what the "rumor" is. 2 Quote

TheOrcKing Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I had an interesting chat with the store manager and clerks. When I go on lunch break, ill write a new thread about that infoWay to keep us in suspense! Thanks for even offering to give us that kind of info to begin with. Quote
ExoBro94 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Also, I called my girlfriend and told her to drive to the mall and get two more, but when she got there, they were already sold out. It took 30 minutes for that to happen. The tore opened at 10am and they were gone by 10:30am. Quote
boomzoom Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 same at the lego store I went to yesterday, and I posted about it. All the Aug 1 release is already at the store. Quote
ExoBro94 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Quick flip before the 1st?? There's still time! HUrryy This! Plus, I anticipate a huge drought of these. I think worse than minecraft tbh. I don't think LEGO will be able to keep up especially with the production error. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Seriously guys, it is not looking good for "resellers" at all. This is just mean. You need to take a break from work. Quote
ExoBro94 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 same at the lego store I went to yesterday, and I posted about it. All the Aug 1 release is already at the store. And it is already gone. My store only had one shipment of 12 and they are all gone. I've heard other stores have sold out too. Quote

boomzoom Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 And it is already gone. My store only had one shipment of 12 and they are all gone. I've heard other stores have sold out too. There were at least 4 at my store last night. They said they thought they had it sold out but found 4 more at the back today. Who knows how long they have been selling it. while trying to get to $75 to get the hotdog cart, I bought 1, I don't know why I did though as they will be available on Aug 1 any way. should I buy them all if they still have them today? worth the investment?

LegoFink Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 When we say "resellers", how much activity are we referring to? I mean I invest and will be reselling at some point, but I don't think I'm a reseller. We are talking volume here, correct? Thanks Quote

I only invest in 1-2 max per set i deem worthy. except dynamic duo and orc forge...4-5 for those Quote
ApesInCapes Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Eh, same thing happened to minecraft. Eventually if I want one production will meet demand. 2 Quote
