I’ve been pretty quiet lately but I still check in 1-2 times a day. I’m surprised there hasn’t been more chatter regarding the current Meijer sale / coupon stack that was posted earlier today in the DD thread. Props to the OP. Two separate stores. Two separate coupons (my wife and mine). I picked up all this today at 54% off. Normal sale/coupon pricing would have come to 49% but my teenage son just recently got his first part time job at my local Meijer so I was somehow able to apply his employee discount as well, bringing the savings to 54%. There are some good deals to be had, that’s for sure. Thanks again, OP!

Put in an order last night, they offered a replacement option for my two Optimus Primes at $82.30 each. Almost hit no in frustration, but it was actually the Technic Mclaren for around $95/each. Then I went into the store and they had two Optimus Primes sitting there, took it to customer service and they also honored the price on that. I'd say that is a good day.

Set of 4 TLM2 brickheadz for $350+shipping and pp fees, on FB marketplace. That leaves 2 more sets of 4 and couple singles left. Lot of lowballing going on to get here, but happy I held out. I have a sub 100 (96 I think) Benny that I may hang on to just to see where the price goes. 📈🚀🌒

Finally got to spend some time building a couple sets this weekend. Speed Champions - Lamborghini Countach: Let me 5 year old build it and she did a great job. Really amazed at some of the techniques they used to get some of the classic angles and designs of the original vehicle. I'm sure it will be heavily hoarded but it is a top notch build. Optimus Prime: This one I built myself and it really hit all the nostalgia marks on the head. I'm a huge sucker for robots and mechs in general and this is no exception. With the added benefit of transformations it is a great build and certainly feels like a big step up from the Kreo product license. Wish the legs had a bit more poseability to them and the hands were a little more intricate. But for the piece count and price point it's forgiven. Maybe we'll get a UCS Prime in a few years.

I have been assigning my GF as the pickup person but I guess with their new automated pickup system you could have anyone go in while you just enter the code on your phone and select complete. I have only been using 1 account because I want the 7.5% Rewards for using my Kohls CC. I guess you could create multiple accounts and do that but if your store has automated pickup you no longer get a physical KC coupon at the register but an electronic one loaded to your account.

seems like selling on amazon thread should be part of complain thread

The pyramid and Optimus prime were both in a separate 4 foot section in electronics, along with bowser and a few other random sets. Both stores that I went to were set like this, so I think it’s a common display in most, if not all Meijer stores. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a pretty good haul. I only tried 1 pickup order of 2 speed champions (the 2 movie ones) and the great pyramid. Got notification they were substituting the Bond SC for a random other SC set, and that they were unable to fulfill the pyramid. So before picking up my order I went into the store and found one slightly beaten up box of the Bond SC but no trace anywhere in the toy section of the pyramid. Customer Service price matched the Bond SC to the Promo ($9.79 before tax) and then I picked up my order with the F&F SC. I only buy to build ATM so that worked out for me.

The joy of reselling in 2022: 1. You picked and bought a few copies of a set (yay!) 2. You have stored them in basement for 2 years 3. When you think it is time to sell, you find out that somebody parks 90+ copies of that set on FBA at a price point that barely covers your costs (4. And some of you wonder why I mostly post jokes and music videos on this site)

No idea where else to share this from reddit. I've tried and it works great so far. I'd been using Google Lens for this with a lot of success recently, but this is way better and more focused.

The Corvette was a set I really wanted to invest in and ended up missing the sales so I didn't buy any. Hagrids hut was a set my GF was telling me was going to be super popular. Me knowing nothing about Harry Potter thought it was ugly and didn't buy any. I did get stuck with my fair share of 41395 Friendship bus's and Jurassic Baronyx. We're all just trying to dodge landmines. I wonder what this years landmines will be?
