elmaslıefendi Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Can anybody explain this nonsense of companies lowering the price and not allowing people to buy them in bulk? Don't say morals, big companies care for cash, not for kids. Quote

Don't say morals, big companies care for cash, not for kids. Because they want to appeal to a broad base of customers . If a few people get their hands on most deals their customers will be pissed and anger . Queue in the Target debacle of few years ago that lead to chain wide changes Quote

Lego used to have super strict price restrictions. They’re still strict with smaller retailers, but have loosened up slightly with the big chains. Quote

appchasers Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Got my Welcome to Apocalypsburg 70840 delivered by Amazon today in absolutely horrendous shape. Of course, no shipping box. But I chose "Frustration Free Packaging". I thought that was the option that forced them to deliver in a protective box. Maybe I'm mistaken... Quote

I received mine in the sealed Lego shipper inside another Amazon box. That's what I'd expect. Quote

I bought 2 and marked them as a gift.... one was near perfect, the other could have been better but blame it more on the weak Lego box that simple can't handle sets that large. Quote

Maybe I'm mistaken... 99% of the time frustration free means it comes in an outer box. seems like a small but definite number of bp'ers report this happening though with the frustration-free option. i have ordered dozens of sets ff and been happy with the results. in other news, i think this new stupid circle app may be a bs way for target to put the kibosh on reseller scum by keeping track of their orders and "how much they save'. i don't think target likes it when you save more than 99.9999% of their other customers do. i had the extremely odd big brother experience of having all forms of electronic payment denied INSTORE on my 14th $50ish lego purchase to get a gift card today. red card, chase card, bofa debit card with thousands of cash in it - all with my name of course and all denied as payment forms. wish i would have had some cash on hand to see if that would have worked or if instead i would have been told "i'm sorry i can't take your money here reseller scum." first 13 payments were using red card. after it finally was declined, i went with chase - declined. bofa debit -declined. i was in a hurry otherwise i would have gotten the cash and paid that way but wtf target. i started wondering if there were people watching me on closed circuit and seeing me slowly clean the store out over an hour and were able to just squelch my purchase from the cloud like a drone strike. then i realized it's time to get my guberment chip taken out of my brain again. lol.

marcandre Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Anyone gotten a confirmation from Club Jouet? Most of the good stuff got wiped out after it was posted here. I managed a falcon but it has not cleared my visa yet. Quote
