Small town guy here, Carl scans them in right in front of me.

I have my guys scan the packages right in front of me and give me a receipt. Not much I can do after that...

Someone just sent me an offer - stating that it was a fair price, based on the original msrp, adjusted for inflation.

I love this line so much: "DeJoy is not beholden to the influence of Trump and that the 'notion that the Postmaster General makes decisions concerning the Postal Service at the direction of the President is wholly misplaced and off-base.'" Weird that people would think someone who donated millions of dollars to the president's campaign while also having tens of millions of dollars invested in companies like UPS and J.B. Hunt would have a conflict of interest running the USPS. I've had most of my recent packages arrive on time, but I did have two in the last two weeks that were inexplicably slow only going a couple of states away.

I think that's a fair concern. It depends on the virus. If flu season causes it to worsen, then you'll see another run on the essential stuff and Amazon might get overwhelmed. This is also a good case for all of us buying Christmas items we might want to give to friends and family right now. As well as home schooling and home work electronics and furniture.

My fear with FBA is not sending in my stuffs, but their ability to ship out during Christmas. Would their distro centers be overwhelmed like in April and delay shipment of non-essentials items for weeks on end? That would be bad during holiday seasons

USPS priority mail has been 5-20 days for me. No less unless within 2 hours driving distance

There will never be enough around....

I sold a number but my favorite sale was 60056 Tow Truck for a buy-in of 10.05 for $115 for a total profit after expenses of $78.91 or a return of 785%. I don't have all winners but if someone told me I could turn $10 into almost $90 in five years - I would take it. Bought in on March 9 of 2015.

@zaphoid Can you go to a different post office? If there's one not too far from you, I'd do it. I'd rather have the piece of mind that it's been scanned. Despite being in San Diego, I'm in a small town part of it. Three Postal folks working there, know them all. They're all happy to scan my items in front of me. I'd rather get them scanned immediately then just drop them off and hope they show up in the system. At least there's proof I've dropped them off. And yes, I ask for the receipt.

Just use your neighbor’s address, and place the boxes on the curb between your lawns.

Seems the postmaster general is putting in place policies to deliberately slow up the mail like limiting automatic sorting and stopping overtime of workers in advance of the election (at the same time the president is talking about how overwhelmed and inefficient the postal service is). May be bad for business unless they are deliberately prioritizing packages over envelopes. Has anybody noticed this affecting delivery of packages yet?https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/31/politics/usps-mail-in-voting-2020-election/index.html

That was the sale they had before. I picked one up and was floored by the care they put into the packing. They put the LEGO shipping box inside another padded box. It was like the size of a mini refrigerator. They didn't waste any time shipping it either. It arrived in just a few days. Very impressed and would definitely order from them again. I'd pick up another Falcon but I'm short on space. 2,800 sq ft house if jam packed with LEGO. My girlfriend keeps giving me the stink eye every time another shipping box arrives. I think putting LEGO sets in the kitchen cabinets above the refrigerator was the last straw...

Will the UK amazon deals thread ever come back or is it dead like the dodo?

Baby Yoda!

Pirate Ship at Zavvi. Still not available in US. https://us.zavvi.com/toys-lego/lego-creator-pirate-ship-31109/12553297.html

Fixed that for ya but yes ...and bring on the minifigures!!! We need Zelda with his master sword and shield.

Small towner myself.....Jenny and her team are the best.....almost always scanned right in front of me. One of the many advantages of not living in the concrete jungle!

pretty sure we are close

It won’t take the MARIO10 code when I tried. I tried both US and U.K. site. Did you get an email?

Im not even allowed to bring them in the office half the time - I get yelled at to leave all my packages in the back on the dock

Yep. My Saturn V shipped to buyer 7/21 and only arrived today 8/3. This is some straight up BS.

I forget how paranoid people are lol. Such a waste of energy and time. Maybe it's me being a niave Midwesterner but most thief's that will steal mountains of Lego's from a basement will have scoped you out by delivery drivers, social media and word of mouth. Not some trash being discarded. In case thieves are watching me 🧐 I'd like to inform them I have camera's around the house and on the only entrance to the basement so gl.

Thx. I was wondering how else to make use of them. I've given to friends and neighbors that needed boxes for moving. Reused them to ship items. Used them to box donations. Still overflowing with them. I recycle a bunch too that were not worth reusing. Just be careful what kind of sketchy ppl you attract wondering what was in those boxes.

Mexico's schools will be entirely remote this fall. I'm guessing this will impact production further. http://www.therepublic.com/2020/08/03/ap-lt-virus-outbreak-mexico-schools/

I got a bunch of stuff from Target and my kids were thrilled. Even got a full box of the characters - which I think look better than those in the boxed sets. I personally hate how there are no instructions but we built everything - except the large bowser castle - just by looking at the box images. I'm very nostalgic with Mario / Nintendo as I grew up with it in the 80's, but these sets, to me, are just odd with regards to role-playing, so we'll be building a moc style something. Walmart has nothing here, no stickers, or otherwise. Oh, and the box of figures - lots of repeats, no ghosts.

$125 on craigslist All genuine figures, all in collectors condition at less than $2.25 a piece. Haven't found a blemish on one yet. We shall see which of these end up on Bricklink and which I keep.

Hi! love the website and this is my first forum post. Just want to say I really depended on the brickfolio because I have a lego collection with my bro and put notes against each set who owns what lol! I am hoping it still exists somewhere far away in a database and that the info is safe! If it is going to be a while before I can access the info again that is fine but I'm just hoping it isn't gone forever 😃
