BJ Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 So I received my second online LEGO order today. This time it was the Death Star from Target. It was damaged on the corner and I bought this strictly for investment purposes. It looks like it was originally a return since a return slip was inside the LEGO box. What do you guys think I should do? Keep it or return it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickerbrack Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 That BTTF came. Minty. Dunno where Amazon found it. Also no issue so far buying from Barnes & Noble with discount gift cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfortunek Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Keep it. That isn't that bad. Is there a separate thread on box conditions? So I don't derail this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the folks in the Grand Emporium, Haunted House, or Super Star Destroyer thread if they regret returning sets when it was in and out of stock around this time last year. I have a couple DS that are in similar shape, if not much worse. I am holding onto them. You never know when "last call" at the bar will be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inner boxes are still sealed, albeit dented. The outer box looks like it went through a wood chipper.I am SO glad I kept them all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Niko Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) So I received my second online LEGO order today. This time it was the Death Star from Target. It was damaged on the corner and I bought this strictly for investment purposes. It looks like it was originally a return since a return slip was inside the LEGO box. What do you guys think I should do? Keep it or return it? As long as the seals are intact, it would be wise to keep it. As you get more shipments, you'll soon realize that that's nothing compared to some of the damage you'll get. I once got a HH that was shipped without a box, seals and box completely busted, and the carrier taped it shut with tons of packing tape. What a mistake it would have been to return that. I ended up quick flipping it for $50 profit, but could have gotten an extra $100+, in damaged condition, if I held it until now.

BJ Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thanks for all the advice, I'm going to hold onto it for now and see if I can find another. I do have 90 days to return it so I have a while to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Target ships Death Stars almost faster than Kmart ships Death Star Troopers. Seal codes on my Target Death Stars were _ _R4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storckie Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I attempted to purchase two Pet Shops from target about a week apart and the second one was canceled, I am guessing due to sales limits. Does anyone know how long those sales limits on each item are in place for? A month? Forever? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm having bad luck with my online orders. This time I received a Pet Shop from Amazon and the box was creased/bent in multiple areas. Going to end up returning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I usually ask for a discount rather then return. Sounds like everyone else returns them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) These started showing up. What is the story on this? Was this Amazon? Did you get four 75919 for $65 total or each? That's outstanding. Edited August 14, 2015 by fuzzy_bricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylay Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Got my first batch from Amazon UK in a speedy fashion in a suprisingly undamaged shipping box which had 3 minty Town Squares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
