To be fair, I have been saying that since 2016...

I never list as MISB... always state "good (or fair) condition box with minor shelf wear" even if it's a pristine box. They can look at the pictures to see it's a nice box. Buyers will call you out on anything more, complain and ask for a partial refund. CYA.

Kohls has select lego sets 30% off plus $15 Kohl’s cash/$50 plus $5 Kohl’s reward/$100 plus $5 Kohl’s cash x 2 orders if you select store pickup Vs free shipping at $75 Or you can pay MSRP on sets like AS and get back approximately 30% in KC and rewards.

I used to be bothered by that but now I think for every 100 who asked probably only 5 would move their butts and actually do something about the information. I have that low expectation in humanity

FYI My orders in July went through at 12 each, but then were canceled a day later. Wish they would just put in a limit so we don't have to guess.

Long read but seller tried to get ungated for Lego via hiring a consultant and get shut down. https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/account-deactivated-for-altered-selling-application-6-month-seller-seeking-advice/926705

Last night I paired this with Bowser's Airship which ALSO earned $25 honey gold and was also awarded 10% of the whole amount ON TOP of that (plus saved $10 with the texting code). So... good deal.

My Home Alone and Dorms sets arrived today. The Home Alone set is in such good condition, I don't want to open it. I might have to order another.

It's not the competition. Most established sellers can pivot to longer hold times and shift focus from FBA to FBM and roll with the punches to account for lost sales. Rather,, it's not good to open the flood gates and let anyone in who has a SAH receipt because it's going to make Amazon crack down with more insane policy requests and reselling all the more difficult.

Give them a list of retired sets and let them rent your time machine for $200 / hr

Sometimes

I dont get why they are scared, thousands of people die every day in an accident.

Several sets are on sale at 30% off as well https://www.kohls.com/catalog.jsp?CN=Assortment:Early Black Friday Deal 30 Off LEGO&icid=hpmf-EBFoffer-30legos

Join Honey and install it as an extension in Google Chrome, then click on the item and any Gold available should appear.

Hello everyone! Been away for a long time and I am amazed to see the sets Lego is coming out with! I am still sitting on two 101088 Death Stars and other sets that I have in storage. Was pleased to see that the values have gone up for many sets. Dumb question but what happened to the brickfolio?

Snowflake is a political word. If you want to complain in an apolitical way, you don’t use that word. Re: “a wise man once said…” it’s fine to be a monk, and peacefully watch the world burn down around you. That’s a thing a guy could do. It’s also fine to make fun of me for crying salty tears in the Pacific and hoping to change its salinity. (Posted before you edited to say “but here I am talking” nice self awareness there!, I’m with you I really am.) Sometimes it’s useful to hold up a mirror for people, most times not. I like the bowling ally, the lego store, the venitian houses and the windmill. But Jeesh, $1k… idk.

Sorry to hear about your sets but, if you say that it is needless to say they are going back then why say it? It's needless to say...... (Just having a little fun.)

looking for a Lego community and this popped up! hoping to learn and contribute here!

HA order finally shipped and is expected to arrive tomorrow. Surprisingly the spectacular rebuildable flying car has shipped too. Just thankful that it finally shipped and got any bonuses on top of my order which I wasn't expecting in first place.

“Yes”, but they make it up in fees and their own theft of inventory

Back in stock on LEGO Shop at Home... and the first amazon return rolls in. The qfll giveth and taketh away

Couple things could help - Yes, there's X times more sellers, but there's also a lot of $ flowing through the economy and more people shopping online than ever before. Could balance things out. I also agree with whoever commented on new v. experienced sellers moving into new categories. Pretty good indicator is seeing 200+ sellers for SKUs that are not retiring any time soon. On the other hand, Walmart seems to be allowing anyone or anything to sell on its platform, which will likely scare away customers once they purchase 3P LEGO and see a plastic bag arrive with return address in mandarin and contents smelling like a burned out appliance.

This ^. You are starting to see a increase in scamming by sellers on Walmart do amazon is justified to a certain extent with what they are doing and will probably do in the future as far a further restrictions go

The glut of sellers this year is crazy. I think dropping the 25 sales in sep-oct rule has contributed. 20th Slave was nearing 300 six weeks ago. Now it's been pushed down to almost 200. And that's just one example.

I don't recall seeing any specific sets restricted for my account besides the Vader Castle a couple years ago. I just looked up my first sale and it was in June 2014. It was a 9464 Vampyre Hearse for those that remember the crazy Lego sale on those! Those first few years were amazing. Still fun, but tough now to spend all day scanning toys at Walmart & Target with all the listings getting yanked and requiring safety documents.

Too many dipwad vloggers getting followings. Thankfully most of the idiot followers in the groups only buy a handful of things at close to RRP. Even better to watch when they're asking about buying and holding newly released sets for years. Truly looking forward to them getting "surprise" 1099's January 2023. If the polar ice doesn't all melt by then, their tears should be enough to raise the ocean up enough to flood most low lying areas.

It's true. You can tell a group of people exactly what to do and most still wouldn't. I've heard so many speakers express the same when they are questioned about it. Aren't they worried about the competition?? not at all

I see people in that FB reseller group asking for the best set recommendations to flip in 2 weeks. lol

It def ain’t @BrickLegacy, he only does small orders

I'm getting close to putting myself out to pasture and going the way of Emazers. I don't want to be doing this when I retire and I need to get rid of the stuff.

Screen grab from a youtube channel back in May 2020. Appears to be a darker hue blue, but could be the poor picture quality. There does appear to be more structual brown pieces used in between the floors. The Van/trailer got a yellow stripe and some ponds added. Windmill and Water tower slightly altered along with switching sides. Also appears the camera on a track was nixed. Also interesting to note, the new pics uploaded to Bricklink do not show minifigs anywhere. The first rendition had ~10 minifigs and a 2 horses?!?

It’s LEGO’s decision to make, it’s not cancelled and an equally good set got pushed up. I’m sure the creator of the Venetian set is happy, since it’s obvious their set was ready to go as well. And who knows, maybe the creator of the western movie set asked to be pushed back, because of their own desire to put some space between the incident and their set. If the creator wants that, I can’t see forcing them to release their set this round if they don’t want to.

100%. The Lego game is way more crowded. If not already I’d suggest branching out to selling other items also as hold periods will take longer or take advantage of the sets that are restricted for a lot of sellers. That’s my new buying plan for sets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very true. I am sure that thousands die daily around the world from automobile accidents, but Lego doesn't stop making cars. They don't stop producing airplane sets each time there is an aircraft crash. They still put ladders in their sets even though people get hurt or die from falling off ladders every year.

"Eternals" was just ok, nothing great and lots of exposition and time jumping to try to world build. I hope the MCU corrects course after this one. I really enjoyed "Shang Chi".

Does Kohl's still prefer to ship their stuff in bags?

I had to use the Kohl’s app on my iPad placed 2 orders no issues. Not going crazy after hearing reports of people getting their Kohl’s cash canceled.

Been having trouble getting my orders to go through. No longer the days of 99 items in the cart and checking out

The special offer usually take 10-15 more min to show up I have 10% back showing in my account with Rakuten

Never paid GST at customs on a Bricklink purchase (eBay is totally different). Make sure your seller doesn't bullshit on the value declaration and you shouldn't have a problem if it is under $1k.

True. If you showed most folks the built set they would never guess batmobile.

Daughter created/directed/produced her first aerial show for Halloween this year. If anyone is into aerial or halloween it turned out pretty good. Aired on twitch for the first few weeks and they were able to post to youtube for more to watch. @sauromosis , the kids should enjoy it.

Go on mobile, will be prompted to signup for texts, this will get you 10 off that works on lego.

It is toycentric. I just went to my EBay Blocked Buyers list and out of nowhere bird-eshop was on the list where it used to say toycentric. So they didn't even use a new account, they just rebranded toycentric to bird-eshop. The good news is that if you already blocked toycentric, you don't need to do anything to block bird-eshop.

This is LEGO IT we're talking about here folks.

Lego could troll us all and release the an updated T1 that looks of "a rusted shell found in back country NC" version.
