Finished this for my son’s birthday! Epic!

I had two 76239s (Batmobiles) listed as being "in warehouse." One shipped and one cancelled.

Just updated with a great many discounted sets https://www.lego.com/en-us/categories/sales-and-deals?sort.key=PRICE&sort.direction=DESC&filters.i0.key=categories.id&filters.i0.values.i0=12ba8640-7fb5-4281-991d-ac55c65d8001

Turn around, bend over, and say "thank you sir, may I have another?"

Haha, from the thumbnail of this pic on the front page, I was sure that all the Bionicle was Photoshopped in as a joke. I'll just go ahead and make it true.

About 5-6 years ago, I ordered the R2-D2 set 8009 from a guy on eBay. It shipped in a Captain Crunch box. Was that you?

Wow. You really have been living in the 1800s

After many years, I finally tried these sticker removal tools. Apply some heat and use one of these and they work miracles compared to trying to scrape up a corner with a razor blade. https://www.amazon.com/Scotty-Peelers-Label-Sticker-Remover/dp/B0068QIQVA/

I can confirm the partial fulfillment. It was strange, at first it told me all 5 made it to the warehouse (set was 60326 - picnic in the park), and I was actually bummed because it wasn't phantom stock. Checked a day later and now it says 4 of the 5 were cancelled, and only 1 is now in the warehouse. I always assumed when a set switched to "in warehouse" it was a guarantee to ship, but then this happened and now I don't know whats going on haha

VIP sets arrived.

Amazon is super strict on FBA return reimbursement right now. I opened multiple cases on returned sets and none of them get approved. The only solution is just swallow the cost and list the damaged sets somewhere else, like eBay or facebook market.

What does that ***** eye set have to be for y’all to clear it out? 😆

eBay it. Amazon did the same thing to me back in November. I opened a case and they automatically declined it in 45 minutes. Of course, if you want to extend this misery onto others, there’s the unethical decision to order the same set from Amazon and return the damaged one in its place. Obviously I’m not advocating for anyone to do that. But it’s Funny how we’re required to maintain ethical standards of behavior to get the privilege to sell on Amazon’s site when they blatantly destroy our products as part of their service.

My best tip on that is good luck. I don't feel you have any shot at a reimbursement. Let us know if you figure something out or if someone knows better. I have fought a ton of customer damages/stolen items/amazon or whole foods put the label on it returns and gotten exactly zero refunds of late. They just take more and more and all we can do is bend over.

Now I need to find an alternative to shipping stuff in Raisin Bran boxes.

I hope so I was able to score 2 sealed cases of 4, plus some singles, that might be worth more to that special buyer.

Interesting about the supply issue, but my 2 orders were probably first in line at 5a day of release. I made decent money selling these vintage GWPs singularly, but I do even better selling curated collections or complete themes in minty boxes to emotional buyers. I'm going to play "The Hits" again and go with selling the GWP Forestmen, Blacktron, and Bionicle (and whatever comes next, if there is a next vintage reissue) as a collection. It worked well with the GWP coins, Pooh's, and Fiats. You only need one buyer and that guy is always willing to pay a lot more, but it has to be a collection, minty boxes, and have a strong reputation as a LEGO seller. That dude ain't on BrickLink for several reasons (he doesn't know about it, hard to find collections on there, no pics usually, complicated shipping and returns, etc).

The scene at my house. My daughter decided the baby should go with orange.

noobs, just order all and dont have to remember anything
