Curious how in-store stocks are holding up since it seems that many online sources are drying up -- good for resellers and any of us LLQF's LEGO SAH makes it easy to breakdown by price and what's in stock (once you eliminate the items that are not buildable sets -- i.e. STEM kits, EV3 modules, etc... that still show in the list even though you specify "Sets" in the filter). Here's their status (US market) as I measured: Price Range, Sets Available, As a Percent >$100: 18, 23% $75 to $100: 13, 19% $50 to $75: 17, 26% $25 to $50: 27% (stopped screening buildable sets, and just divided available into avail+sold out+backordered) <$25: 36% (includes key chains, dots, etc...) So, looking at the serious sets >$50, that's less than 50 sets across all themes. If SAH is the canary in the coal mine, I would expect the other B&M retailers to sell out soon. I suppose on another positive note, it should be easy to identify the turds I'll add some of the B&M online stocks: Amazon ("LEGO", sold by Amazon.com, building sets, Prime eligible, LEGO Brand): 313 sets, 104 over $50*** Walmart ("LEGO", retailer Walmart.com, building sets and toys, Deliver to Home eligible): 281 sets, 77 over $50*** Target ("LEGO", building sets, shipping available): 334 sets, 93 over $50*** *** Note: doesn't include sets on sale <$50 that are RRP >$50 I'll try to update this list again every few days to see how the supply is holding up.

I'm guessing you would then get an email asking you to update your payment method due to a problem with it...

Few notable restocks LEGO Shop at Home Winter Fire Station Droid Commander 20% off + Skating rink Ninjago restocked a bunch of stuff ADD: Sesame Street

It’s called weaponized autism in my circles. A valuable commodity not to be ridiculed.

And praise the Lord that they are putting it to good use! Keep up the awesome work. Thank you!

Noooooooo

The idea was to see how much variety was available at various stores -- not necessarily what was happening to any one particular set. So, a two sets might come in stock, and one might go out of stock -- so the count would increase by one. LEGO SAH has pricing tiers to judge how the more valuable sets may be holding up. The other three B&M stores I'm tracking is split for $50 and above to weed out the low-end stuff and most of the non-buildable sets that may not be in high-demand during the holidays. The idea being, the levels are already pretty low, and will they go lower? If so, the supply/demand would favor the reseller for the next few weeks. I just find the numbers interesting -- we sometimes tend to focus on particular sets or how things "seem" and I like to put some quantitative numbers on it. My real job is in engineering so that's what I do. Drives my wife crazy most of the time

tried a small lego order from two weeks ago's banned target account, just shipped. Ho ho ho

This is the way

Oh yeah and instead of gently placing it into the box, you can Jordan it from across the room. (or you young folk can yell Kobe, but you don't miss when you yell Jordan) $150 on what? Educational Lego... no thanks

i love hot cakes.

Shrimp Shack Attack $30.96 + 10$ GC https://www.walmart.com/nco/LEGO-Hidden-Side-Shrimp-Shack-Attack-with-free-10-Walmart-Gift-Card/629874356

Ok, we need someone to create a listing for the Harley Davidson Travel Tumblers.

Dang, that's gonna give your doctor a full day's work.

unlike other retailers, Amazon will send you a warning letter before banning you

Costco

To be fair, this is the only problem I have had since September. Everything else works more or less like Paypal, except I do not have to login to Paypal to transfer money, deal with disputes, etc etc

I created secondary listings, rare, variant.

First Zavvi Bugatti came in today in the orginal lego shipping container. Hopefully the rest will match.

next time a warning would be appreciated. the kids are rolling on the floor laughing ..

No doubt that it’s sealed. SNAD is a toss up here but you’re likely looking at accepting a return plus the cost of shipping and then there’s the issue if the buyer used a hair dryer and resealed it with mega blocks and dirty socks putting you in the position of having to break the seals in order to inspect it.

Another 3 diner's canceled. Another 3 sets of promos in the warehouse. Each time it comes back, the limit resets. To everyone: You'll notice in your order history that if you're not above the $35 free shipping threshold that you're going to be hit with a $4.95 shipping charge. Don't be a fool and call about it and bring attention to this. Just eat the $4.95 as the cost of business.

LEGO Shop at Home cancelled my Diner from yesterday but my HP minifig and 2 promos are in warehouse.

I would say that MP has resulted in a smidgen less in total fees than before.

In the mail

I haven’t seen anything with those numbers. I remember when the second series came out, there was a big gap in numbers that was eventually back filled. My list goes up to 114. Given the recent contest to pick Brickheadz #150, it looks like we will be getting quite a few more.

I'm just really super confused by this thread. Can someone walk me thru it using specific sets as examples?

Thank you. I'll do just that. That's a better approach. I was going to say all the mumble jumble about him being a new buyer and me being paranoid.

Glad to have you back on the corner looking for work.

OK, true - that broke what I thought was their rule/rationale. I do not see a "notify me" button on that.

30% off select sets at B&N. Nothing too gripping but the Juniors 10764 is already retired https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/30-off-select-lego-sets/_/N-2v36?Ns=P_Sale_Price|1

Apollo Lunar Lander is available (you all know you can sign up to receive emails when something comes back in stock, right?). Dang, that was what I wanted to buy to get the skating rink and instead bought other stuff. Now I've got TWO $150+ orders to explain to the spouse...

Maybe they are getting their last shipment on that date? Maybe it'll be around for 10 years. This is TLG's world, and we are just living in it.

There are steps to be taken first:

All the Jurassic World sets I bought on clearance in the spring are selling like hot cakes now. I raise the price $20 after each sale and they keep flying.

Those were the ones from overseas. Think most folks know about that now. Should be okay.

Nobody was going for the skating rink with 30 key chains so they had to throw us a bone.

Cost of doing business. On Amazon a buyer can open the set, build part of it, trash the retail box and throw it all back in the shipping box and return it.

Treehouse is back in stock at LEGO Shop at Home...

This is why I'm done selling big sets on eBay (for the most part). I'll take the profit hit and sell locally unless the hit is too big. Sorry to read about this.

Going for 280 FBM. Expensive to ship this one.

I’m all over this set, if only there was something worthwhile to buy at the moment.

Space cop!

Finally got the 2020 SW advent calendar. Why was this year’s so hard to find?! Reduced production or just pandemic + SW interest? Sold out everywhere in Canada. In any case, the tradition continues!

Go to "Payments" tab, and on the left side click "Reports". You should be able to download transaction report as csv file for a specific range of time. The report has detailed breakdown of fees for each transaction. Although it does not have Item Name, just Item ID Everyone should send Comments to eBay asking them to add Item Name to these reports. Use the "Comments" link on the upper right of the page. They should be able to add Item Name very easily to the reports and if everyone send them a message they might do it quickly too
