I am selling $10 sets to people for $70. The future of humanity has been in serious doubt for quite a while already if you ask me. Sent from my LG-TP450 using Tapatalk

amazon taking down the gates and seller counts be busting 200 like never before. sets that EOL'd last year still being sold by amazon.com the seller for 30% over msrp. now these promotional investment videos exhorting further sellers to further concentrate holdings on an even smaller number of sets to sell into an already crowded swollen market. ok and just to make sure i have my bases covered:

This quote is one of those things when you see it at the end of a thread you can't scroll up fast enough to get the context.

Mine have all been arriving in the same 21x15x12 boxes either packed to the gills with airbags, or with no protection at all. Despite my ghetto FedEx guy throwing these like troy aikman they are arriving in pretty good shape.

Mine arrived today in a box I can only assume they use for shipping out surf boards, which I will definitely take over what you received. Did they at least throw in the obligatory two air pillows?

Showed my wife and she said, "That's huge! It looks cool. You should ask Santa for it. He'll get it for you."

Not mine but thanks for thinking of me. Boo COVID!

Yeah, now that you mention it... Isn't the reason that stores do this is to make buyers feel like they aren't spending as much as they actually are? $497 is supposed to look a lot more appealing than $500 right? But if you are wanting people to think that they are getting the most value for their money then wouldn't you want them to see the $500 and not the $497? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

Any doofus that pays for this deserves to have their money taken.

That "Yay Covid!" at the bottom feels familiar to how a certain someone has been ending their posts. Well I just got a ghostly chill. ....What smells like red?

Nope. Thanks for the chuckle though.

Reminds me of... "Got a package people!"

I can't wait to see it move into a Multi Level Marketing ponzi scheme. You invite 10 friends and they each invite 10 friends, and each of you buy the exact same sets that some moron apparently named Shane buys using their affiliate links, and suddenly you're all bagholding the same overhoarded set that Lego extends over and over because of the sales levels. I'm looking forward to the 1099 rule change that will hopefully clear out a bunch of the small fish. I expect the panic to start the moment eBay and PayPal start asking for their social security numbers. I look forward to the drama and flowing tears. My favorite part of the entire deal is that the checkmark and gift box images they are using link directly back to the page they stole it from. Gives me much faith in the product.

Harry & Hermione arrived. Shipped in a box too small w/o packing, laid diagonally (not diagon alley 😛) and all 4 seals were popped. Glad it's to keep & build.

Love this "Brainstorming Sessions & Live Chat". Brings memories of trying to get into clubs when I was younger. They'd make you wait outside forever and when you finally got in, nobody was even there. I will say this, it's really well written from a marketer's perspective. I'm sure he'll catch some fish. Also, all the price points ending in "7" is kinda interesting 🤔

My Harry & Hermione were scheduled to arrive today. I got nervous and checked my Arlo. Looks like a box big enough for Corner Garage/T. rex Rampage, etc. At least it's better than a shipping label on the Lego box! On the bright side, it's a beautiful day in suburban Boston.

LEGO needs some "no" people. The themes that fail are usually pretty obvious. If we see it, they should see it.

I'm absolutely shocked these aren't selling.(said no one) We've seen some turds over the years, but this just might be the turdiest.

I'm no history buff but didn't the biggest ship ever built (the Titanic) sink to the ocean floor on it's maiden voyage? I lwonder if the alternate build is two broken halves and a debris field?

Quite a nice portfolio!

I believe Amazon picked up the show. So it can now be streamed in the US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love the monkie kid sets. They are super creative. I do have the big Samurai mech built. It’s a great set.

It appears a good amount of Monkey Kid sets are now available on Amazon.com.

I built the Chinese Lantern Festival using mils but really, I drove around the city looking for this porch greeter. I then ran to storage to grab my ecto-1 and GBHQ so that Spengler and Co. can go atop the hotel at Central Park west. Festival is nice, but the sidewalk is too narrow and you can't walk around the bench or lampposts. My poor citizens have to walk into traffic... Or marshmallow men

I got around to opening those three boxes I posted earlier. I thought they were the same size boxes that the previous HP sets arrived in but I was wrong. These are a few inches smaller. All 3 boxes arrived exactly as yours did. It's amazing how all 12 seals across 3 boxes popped being shipped that way.
