10218 - Pet Shop

[Manse1001]

This might be old news but it's worth mentioning in case anyone missed it.

LEGO Shop at Home US: "We're sorry that this set is not available. Please check back in August for product availability. "

 

 

Finally done??

Did you read the part where it says "Please check back in August for product availability" ?

Good get-out window folk. Carpe diem and don´t complain when it sticks around into 2017.

Will be interesting to see how secondary market price evolve during these 4 months.

I looked on the website and it just says Toos, doesn't mention anything regards 'August'!? Have you looked on the website?

Couldn't see the reference to August?

Oh I see, I only clicked on the main theme screen and thought it would have mentioned it there like it did on the F40 and S1 so it throw me a bit... screen shot on my last post.

Honestly, if it was marked like that in the EU, I´d sell all but one in  a heartbeat if they reached 200 euros.

Just an FYI to this forum:

I recently purchased a Pet Shop modular from Amazon because there's no availability anywhere else.  I don't know where Amazon gets their stock of this item, because what I received was in such poor condition, I took pictures and laughed at what I saw.  All the factory seals have been cut.  The box has a lot of damage on the outside, and both sides have been covered with packing tape.  Whoever re-sealed it with packing tape did a REALLY sloppy job, too.  I didn't even bother opening it to see if anything was missing (such as minifigs).  Double-checked the listing to make sure it says "new item", which it does.

After opening the box and seeing what they sent, I immediately boxed it back up and requested a return.  They will be sending me another one for replacement...I'm hoping it will not be as bad as this...*sheesh*.  I'll report back to let all of you know if I get another 'lemon' as a replacement from Amazon.

The white square label on the set usually indicates a return . That's messed up regardless . 

[Sharkbait]

I've seen those white square labels most often from 3rd party sellers on Amazon. Every Lego set I've got from a 3rd party has had inventory stickers all over it like that, and the boxes have been drop kicked a few times, with immaculate shipping boxes.

I haven't been in the biz very long but I don't see them rushing to retire this set anytime soon. I think it will be around until 2017. They might stop producing them before 2017 but i think this set was way over produced and will be sitting on shelfs for awhile. 

I do however think that PS and PC will disappear at same time.

With that said I own 2 PS and 0 PC so I hope Im very wrong.

Currently only available at Amazon...

That must have been an Amazon warehouse deal or a 3rd party selling at a discount with damaged merchandise.  If you paid anywhere near full price of $149.99, then that's a return.

The sticker is similar to what I've received on Amazon warehouse deals at a discount off MSRP.

That's pretty bad, but speaking for myself, I got one on Amazon a couple weeks back and the box was in new condition.

That's not a 3rd party sticker. 3rd party/FBA stickers will state the product name and are placed over the factory barcodes.

I'm getting my replacement Pet Shop tomorrow.  I'm not going to get my hopes up, but crossing my fingers I get a good box.

I tried 2 local Lego stores this week and there were no Pet Shops and there were also no homes for them. I definitely saw them in store 2 weeks ago. Still available on Walmart and TRU online where I ordered one with next to free shipping.

[ibramoussadi]

I found a pet shop for 114€, would you guys jump on it?

How many times have people to be told, jumping on Lego sets is a bad idea, the boxes get squashed.

[kris_1973]

They are still available at Walmart.com: http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Pet-Shop/17353275 and Target.com: http://www.target.com/p/lego-creator-expert-pet-shop-10218/-/A-13782395#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=10218
