10218 - Pet Shop

[JM123]

All my 5 separate PS orders of 14th of 15th of March have shipped. No cancellations thus far, like happened with several HH orders of October last year.

[canonikon]

So are they saying that every set will eventually retire? Say it aint so!!!

 

With the pet shop, it seems odd that within a month or two of Town Hall retiring, this would be retiring soon.  It wouldn't exactly surprise me, but it is odd timing.  I think this set will be sticking around until early next year.

Death Star...

In Germany back in 1th may

09S5 arrived today. Ordered at LEGO Shop at Home last week (14th).

[Deejay]

Also received PS today. Don't know the seal code, probably the same as above

[sjbdeebo2]

I thought I ordered the limit on these. After searching I only ordered 2 from SAH. Called earlier this week and asked if I could order 3 more. Lady asked me what I am going to do with them. I said give them as gifts. She let me order the 3. Just waiting them for them to ship.

[Deejay]

So the limit is 5, but you can be banned because you buy too much?

[gmpirate]

I'd say asking if you could order more makes you look more suspiscious than just ordering them. Otherwise, why would one ask?

Just saying . . .

[sjbdeebo2]

The way I look at it, the lego employee said I could order 3 more.

No offense but that means pretty much nothing. See the "what a Lego employee told me today" thread.

is there a post in particular?

[stephen_rockefeller]

Yeah the college kid with zits all over his face making 8 bucks an hours ringing people up behind the counter doesn't make ban hammer decisions.

The whole thread. The employee who told you to order more probably has nothing to do with deciding bans. You probably raised more suspicion by asking if you could order more.

Got a link? I can't find the thread

[sjbdeebo2]

Boy there is 41 pages I won't be reading. I'm not worried. I'll let you know if I ever get banned.

But wouldn't all of these purchases go into the system? Assuming of course he used VIP card or credit/debit?

[sjbdeebo2]

From what I read in the past it seems that one person may get banned while another may not for the similar or same purchasing.

Bingo!

I understand this may be a little off topic, but I've ordered a PS from Lego and I was wondering if somebody could please explain seal codes to me. I've ordered the PS set and this on going discussion over "seal codes" really puzzles me. Perhaps there's a blog post or something on this, but I've searched and cannot find any information in relation to seal codes.

I do however know where to find the codes - on the tape that secures the openings of the Lego box.

Any help in relation to this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Here's a long thread that can hopefully help.

The end is near.

[Follows Closely]

I think this is a temp shortage. However, I will have my #s by early fall.

[Contrails]

I somehow dont think the end is near on this one. Just this last 2 months alone I have seen this set in Intertoys Amsterdam,Frankfurt Lego store, Galleria Kaufhoff, Copenhagen Lego Store, Legoland hotel in Billund and at Billund airport. Today I saw a few in London Lego store. Thats more than 20 on dislay. All of them have this year's seal codes. I wouod like it to retire but somehow I dont think it will happen so soon

[CNH1974]

I went to the Milton Keynes store today on a PS hunt. They had 3 on the shelf. As far as they are concerned this set is not done, they had more out back. I mentioned the delays on LEGO Shop at Home etc...

But they think it might be down to the double points period and also they think lego are pushing the Agents Carrier set (not correct name) which is delaying gate next batch of PSs.

Could be true. Who knows. But I don't think the PS is done yet.
