UPDATE! So I received a call from my insurance company the other day. The police arrested a guy for breaking & entering, and when they searched his property, they found "a lot of Lego sets". One detective was having lunch with my detective and casually mentioned the find, and he remembered my case from 2016 and they interrogated the suspect. He totally admitted meeting me on Craigslist, bought a few sets from me, and then came back to my warehouse to commit the robbery. He was able to back a cargo truck up to the loading door and spend several hours loading up. The replacement value at the time was $39k. I am so relieved they caught the guy, and now I'm waiting to hear from the police so I can go see what is left from the theft (they say there is A LOT). Next step will be to strike a deal with the insurance company to purchase everything back (at a salvage rate of course). They are willing to give me the right of refusal so I can recover all or some of it. I'll update once I see what is left and what we can work out. Just a reminder to everyone who can learn from my ignorance & innocence: never let anyone into the inner sanctum. Since the theft, we treat the warehouse like Willy Wonka's factory : no comes in, no one goes out. We even have a visual barrier separating the storeroom area from being seen by UPS and FedEx drivers. As far as Craigslist goes, I've only tried to sell a handful of larger items (new MF for example) with the stipulation that the transaction takes place at the local police department, and I haven't had a taker yet.

All of this bickering reminds me of the 50% off LEGO Shop at Home B-Wing sale from many years ago. It's amazing how a great sale can bring out the saltiness in some people. Update to my order status...I ordered 0 AS and 0 DS because I missed the sale due to work. None have shipped so far. Life goes on. There will be other sales in the future.

Ahh, nice to see a new batch of trolls to replace the old guard.

I had 6 Assembly Squares show up from Target yesterday. Sold 6 already and cleared about $200 each. They never even hit my storage area, nice.

Ladies and gentlemen, watch out when selling these Target price error sets. Your soul is on the line... if you still have one of course.

Just picked up my first shipment of AS at my high security location (mom's house..she's retired, so home most of the time). Ran out of room for the DBs and OMs. Also received notice of store pick ups ready.....had to deal with my 9 year old son saying "you worried about your precious little boxes dad...you worried?" As we drove over to pick them up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Welcome to the Grid folks. The designers were in their early 20ties or so. Nice blokes tho. I had to wait in queue about 2h to get this set signed. Masses of people were hoarding like crazy. The old fishing store hasn't received such recognition like this set hands down. This might be an indicator for TLG in the future... Oh - it's my 1000 post here, anniversary time

The Death Stars have landed. Nice to see the shipping box is not the actual LEGO box as alluded to by Target.

Just got back from TRU. $177 Porsche and other goodies. Good day.

I have my LEGO boobietrapped - If anyone removes the wrong set, my investment in those Death Stars will finally pay off.

Chill out, fellas. If you aren't updating your order status here, then you are in the wrong thread.

Please don’t just throw random numbers and posts just for the sake of it . A reputable member would like to buy a house and you can cause serious damage to his selling efforts . Thanks

Looking at Sopwith Camels and stuff at the National Air and Space Museum in Dayton.

So far I have already received 1 AS. The DS's are to arrive today. I missed out on the "Great Amazon Lego Heist of 2017"......But thanks to the OP "drshdw"for sharing ! Thank you. Funny story..... I had some #2 business to take care of that morning and decided to read my emails and the most recent one was "drshdw" OP. I quickly opened my target app and placed my orders. This was all possible with today's technology, brickpicker forum alerts and all those who post deals. Where are the most bizarre places you have all been when placing orders for a Lego deal ??? Maybe this topic will make it on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon !!

The salt runs deep my friend. An opportunist, he is not.

Wow, sorry to hear. I don't sell local, we just have ammo, hunting dogs, and cousins on our local ads.

you can get $240-250 with boxes much worse than those pictured above on ebay all day long in that condition with pics. You could even open them spread the sealed bags out and still get close to that. sealed decent to mint boxes pull 255-275 and sell frequently sure they might drop a hair with a glut hitting this week but it sells fine if you want to sell now

You're getting too close for comfort now ..... Says the guy who raided Chicago during WM clearance...

I'm sure there are folks here who would gladly take one of your hands.

I see a lot of similar posts on Facebook, something like "I know how much these have been selling for so don't try to gouge me." it makes me wonder what the incentive is for anyone to sell something to them for exactly as much as they got it for and losing money due to fees.

I've encouraged my kids to litter their loose bricks haphazardly across the floor just for that purpose....

Great to hear of a possible happy ending here. The rule about no eyes on the goods is one that I have shared forever. I do not allow anyone I don't know into my home to see what I own Lego-wise. I will have CL folks say they want to stop by and I explain that that is a no-go and that I will meet them in public. My fear is the same, that someone will break in looking for Lego that they know is there and much worse outcomes could then occur with it being my home vs. a storage locker that does not have family inside(at least it shouldn't ?). I don't really like having service individuals in the house and see the sets on display but don't have much choice with HVAC and such. It's probably very paranoid but stories like this validate the paranoia. Again, happy for you that this could have a happy ending.

Did you shout "HOLY CRAP!"?

I don't think this guy knows how Karma works. Who is exhibiting petty jealousy and judgemental behavior, and who has liberated profit from the big bad corporation and given it to the little guy? I'll take Robin Hood level Karma any day! ??

I saw them in a front end cap of a toy aisle consisting of different lego sets.

Where the hell in my popcorn There.

Opened my 5000 piece box this afternoon with my daughter filming. She is camera shy now. I will get that uploaded soon. Here is a still until I am home from work. Nice selection Ed, I have always regretted selling my last B-Wing, and I accidentally sold my last Research Institute. I especially love the chrome trooper and the Coruscant planet. The Ewok's remind me of when my boys loved Lego, it is great to have it. My daughter really wants the Falcon, so now I have her birthday covered. Thanks again.

Playmobil

lmao...."MAELVR"

I'm sure there are folks here who would gladly take one of your hands. PM me, I’d be glad to take it off your hands to build it!

these 2 Assembly Squares showed up and are in Unacceptable condition (under normal circumstances), but in this case Target can have a pass.

Sounds like something out of The Shawshank Redemption!

Better register that domain. Surprised brikbuddy.com isn't already taken.

Where is 13K coming from? Personally, I don't see someone on a site dedicated to reselling offering anything near that for this collection, but maybe I am missing something. What's the "fare" price you would be offering?

UPS just showed up with a dolly of yesterday’s crazy Target orders. Next day delivery via regular shipping. Not bad!

Or you can be on eBay 11 years , call them multiple times about it and check your account settings constantly without ever getting a single offer.

I think the real winner is the LLoyd Minifigure for $150. Suck it Mr Gold!

Well that was an expensive morning.

In for 3

Just when I thought I was getting out of the game, brickpicker drags me back in. Reminds me of the Walmart gig a few years back. Is this a Lego only glitch?

Lego City 60180 Monster Truck

LetGo app showed a new sealed 10188 Death Star for $300. Talked the guy down to $275 because I was local and could meet him down the street from his house. Specifically the local sheriff station parking lot. Sure enough, its obvious the box has been resealed. I cracked it open and every box has been opened. There are no instructions. There are loose pieces. No bag 1s (where the minifigs are).

Not a war story but I figured I'd throw this here. I love how the ad says you can get the missing minifigures free just by calling Lego. https://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/tag/d/lego-avengers-tower-hydra/6292579883.html
