I had an identical request last week from someone in Los Angeles, claiming to have received an empty box. I told him to file an A-to-Z claim, but they never did. This could be a scammer who has made many A-to-Z claims in the past, and now they assume you will refund them in full without filing for A-to-Z Good luck!

Points she made: There was not that many people doing it supply and demand storage concerns not getting enough money for the effort put in hype sets being overbought re-releases and consistent upgrades She ain't wrong. It's why I was an avid reader of those terrible Facebook groups. Overwhelmingly they have no idea what they are doing, just hype each other. There is one particular old guy there that responds with decent advice, and I can't imagine why he's dumb enough to try and provide tips to direct competition and kill his revenue stream. I can't count how many times I saw the AAT or Carnage "helmet" hyped. "Carnage will be bigger than the TIE Helmet" was common there. That set barely went on discount because they gobbled it up at RRP, and it sits at $10 over RRP on Bricklink and barely higher on eBay. Target did great on it. Once they had a hype train on a set I'd jump off it. It's not just the number of sets bought, but the sheer number of people buying them.

Just got an extra discount email. Thankfully they went through a channel where eBay eats it.

I know its not a new set but its new to me. Manager asked me if I wanted it.

Not really sure where to post this, but I noticed something interesting while looking at a particular set in the store - See if you can spot it... The following pictures of are of the same set - Front and side of box. All of them on the shelf were the same, so certainly not a one off. A bit surprised LEGO quality control would miss something so huge.
