Update... Pick up went great. They even found more Lego to add on. Only had time to do a light search through a couple of the bags. No Boba Fett yet but did find a couple of the figs from Cloud City. Also discovered the kid really liked customizing some of his clones with paint. Such a delight.

they come with wheels now too!!!

Sharing the March Easter GWP:

Would be great if we shared a bit more in this sub though outside of “lookey what I got and y’all didn’t”

Great Deal: https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Creator-tbd-LEGO-Creator-66747-66747/2399212601 I can’t recall one of these ever having a Polybag in them.

Harry Potter and Hermione Granger $65 sale all over again. Are they storing these things in 165 degree warehouses and employing apes? Thanks for the response. And appreciate the $129 eBay seller that you put me on to that sold me 3 of the Blacksmiths.

Although the price is nice I stopped ordering these from Target on 9/20/2022 when they all arrived with either popped seals or various forms of box damage including 1 with a hole on the front. I think I tried to pass those ones off to you. Things may be different now but I did 3 separate orders and none were in FF packaging and all arrived in huge Target boxes with tons of air pillows, so damage was probably a combination of before and during shipping.

Back at Target for anyone who missed out.....Limit 3 https://www.target.com/p/lego-ideas-medieval-blacksmith-21325/-/A-80130373

I agree. My local store is on its third manager since opening. First manager didn't really like Lego to collecting just wanted to make the store numbers. The second manager was a collector aswell but made sure the store made its numbers and customers were happy. Still figuring out the new one. They have only been there a few months and never was a fan of Lego so very much runs a tight ship.

Idk, I've had good relationships with managers over the years and it seems at some point regional management shuts things down. I've bought directly from managers so they are making the quantity decisions and only come in once per store delivery so they can figure what they can spare. Whatever their rules or limits were I've abided by. I've just come to the conclusion that just like every individual store has different rules, regional areas around the country handle things differently too. Maybe they are just stricter in busier areas and more lenient in slower areas.

Speaking of Lego store managers , They just had their big corporate meeting and their exclusive set was a little pinball machine build. Looked pretty cool.

Way before my time there...Parents did have an Imperial right after those though. That is unused back seat Bronco leather so looks nice. Kid hardly with us anymore so doesn't drive with us much anymore. Knee pads c'mon man that is way to much effort for a GWP... I just prefer the good old fashion way.

Is that Corinthian Leather There are 4 different ways I know of, but I only have tried 3. I heard the 4th involves knee pads in the stock room

I check the new Amazon forum from time to time (Incognito mode, so I do not have to sign in). It is a pity how Amzn has ruined the most informative resource on their platform. Anyway, I saw a topic asking to share helpful resource / tip, and the most upvoted post was the advice on selling somewhere other than Amzn

This popped up today on Marketplace and I saw the instructions for Cloud City at the bottom right. I messaged the seller and asked if that set was complete and all the figs are with it. They said yes. I offered $250 and they accepted it. I will find out in the morning. Fingers crossed.

10 speed champions cars, a handful of star wars sets, super heroes, and city. All the Minifigures are present for the sets I can identify. Should give me and the kids something to do while I'm home for 3 weeks while the wife is non weight bearing after surgery. Undervalued is the fact that city set numbers are on license plates.
