Darth_Raichu Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I think they are getting hit with too many orders for items that will likely never be fulfilled - Way too many free Christmas Train sets going out. IF they still have enough trains to ship out when those backordered sets are ready to ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenb99 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Pet Shop. Red 5. TOO. Death Star. Tower Bridge. Can I get a like? I'll add: Mixed signals from TLG regarding all these sets. Sold Out. (But we are/aren't making more.) Temporarily out of stock. Will ship on X. Call to check. Sold out. (again) Hey look, available again! #Chaos LEGO came out with a new "message" as well and is including it with all the holiday train giveaways 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The big square ads between posts annoy me when I click then trying to scroll. Some of these ads have slowed down page loading considerably for me. Not always but sometimes I get stuck waiting a couple minutes before I can do anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazuli16 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 For those that don't know, MIB means Mint In Box. Stickers on the box negate MIB...technically, what's inside the box is still mint...but you have a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 technically, what's inside the box is still mint...but you have a point. Strongly disagree. How can someone make a claim on something they can't see...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hey Walmart! No matter how many air pillows you surround the Lego set in, if there's a hole in the Lego box & not a hole in the shipping box, I know it left your warehouse like that... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Does it really take 20 minutes to make two cans of tinted paint? Granted, he to be-bop scan one of the colors to make a match (which took longer to bring the sample to the machine than get the result) but what in the world takes so long??(I am not even joking that I waited for 20 minutes from the time he took the cans.)

teohwp85 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Stopped by at the LEGO store in Gurnee Mills on my way back from Milwaukee last Saturday to buy $99 worth of LEGO to get the free train but was told by the manager that they don't accept Apple Pay even though they had touchless card readers. So I went to the Orland Park store after work just now and Apple Pay worked just fine. However, the cashier forgot to scan my free train and had to ask his buddy for help to redo the transaction. In the process of canceling the transaction, the system (as he put it) took off more VIP points that it should and I left the store with less points than before I went in, even though I didn't spend any on my purchase. I only realized this when I got home and promptly called to complain. I was assured that it'll be fixed, so we'll see.

Alpinemaps Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Bricklink's maintenance schedule. Drives me insane.Probably because I'm in the one time zone that it affects the most (imo). Tonight, it's their monthly maintenance, which is from 10-11 PM local time. Nightly, it's the 10 minutes at 10:50 PM that gets me.Why? Because that's when I'm usually finishing up some of my dealings on BL. And I have to wait those 10 minutes. When all I want to do is go to bed at that point. Argh! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I hate going to TRU without a plan. First TRU visit today went ok, but I really should have bought two Bricktober Bakeries instead of one. And I forgot I had a discounted GC to use. So I went to the second TRU, forgot I had already bought the Bricktober Train Station, bought it again, hemmed and hawed about what else to get, and ended up with two sets I don't really *have* to have. Now I'm just going to end up taking all three back (they were all for personal use). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this particular case, it was only $50 worth of sets (after coupons), so it's not a big deal. I just try to stay off the return radar all together.
