A very happy reunion!

Went to LEGO store last weekend to pick up some sets for upcoming birthdays and take advantage of double pts. Found a harry potter diagon alley 40289 sitting on the 20% off table with a slight ding in the box. As I was checking out I asked if they had anymore. Yep, one more, with a good box. Sold both of them to me for $16 / ea. I wasn't even aware they were selling these.

As the proud owner of a 5 month old puppy myself, I can only imagine the amount of stress the last 24 hours have brought you. Glad to hear it all ended well.

Agree. Walmart had the worse inventory system/location compare to Target.

GSP is great for US sellers, but also provides additional seller/buyer protections. Yes, its more expensive for buyers, but they get insurance and better tracking. Never had any issues, used it many times over the years since they created it. Repackaging must be a non-US practice - never heard of it happening. Or if it does, the US team does a better job. eBay carries all the risk after its received in Kentucky, so if they transfer it to crappy packaging which causes it to get damaged, they have to reimburse the buyer. Seller is 100% protected. Canada is a customs roulette country. Technically anything >$20 is taxable, but I've never seen any buyer <$100 get taxed, and over >$100 happens rarely if shipping USPS. If you ship UPS or FedEx, they have it built into their computer systems so its more likely to get charged. GSP does not use USPS for that leg (that would defeat the purpose of GSP), so that's why Canadian buyers get hit with the customs fee on GSP. Since CBSA fails (for whatever reason) to enforce the rules on USPS parcels, there is a perception that direct shipping is much cheaper. It's only cheaper if direct-shipping buyers keep dodging the GST bullet.

One sealed box and one full set of Disney Series 2 CMFs. Thank you MinifiguresPlus!

Yes

The most I ever had saved was $100. I ended up spending that on the Mustang. Back up to $55 after some 2xVIP purchases. Sent from my VS995 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

I use GSP and will keep using it, it allows me to ship to places I wouldn't dream of self shipping to because of too many previous problems. Using it I can still reach those buyers and am 100% covered.

@Rog - I get the impression that the Fantastic Beast sets haven't sold well, so I'd be surprised if there's any more planned. Bricklink tends to be a reliable barometer (especially in terms of minifigure sales) and I'm glad that I've avoided them. Assuming the original rumours are correct, all 5 of the new wave are based on the original films so LEGO seem to be playing it safe. My guess is that 75951 & 75952 will be discontinued before 1st June; and 75953 - 56 will stick around for a while (especially 53-54 which should be compatible with the new Watchtower set). That said, I also grabbed a couple of the trains today; it's such a beautiful set! I don't doubt it's been massively hoarded, but it's got a decent array of parts so I can always split them in my store if it flatlines after EOL.

Lego SAH is running the free Chicken Skater Pod with $35 purchase. There are also a number of sale items that are coming up for much less than listed prices: 853759 - $2.24 40307 - $2.49 40264 - $2.49 850997 - $1.24 853772 - $1.24 853651 - $3.24 853676 - $3.24 40170 - $2.49 There are others, but these are the best ones that I found.

My two local Targets finally got these in. Found them by the cash registers. Smooshed all the Wizard of Oz figures I could get my hands on along with a few other choice figures. Sorry Timmy!

I am in the same boat.....If I take out my alternate Tower Bridge build, I have room for one more.....then what? Another cabinet......

Wouldn't it be better just to dismantle and store them? You might regret selling them, and you can always get rid of them later on.

Wall-E $140 on Ebay. With free shipping.

Needles in haystacks.....they're tough to locate. Some have found them in the Lego aisle, some have found them in the Easter section, some haven't found them at all! Good luck!!

Sold a 30617 Green Lantern Jessica Cruz polybag on BrickLink for $12.98 that came free with a DVD (DVD also came with an $8 coupon off the Lego 2 Movie admission). How much is it again to ship it in a bubble mailer envelope under the new U.S. postal rates? I am sorry for the shipping rate question and I sound like a newbie. it has been a long day because our 5-month-old puppy has been missing since late this afternoon.
