Target has 30% deals through their Circle program on certain LEGO sets that includes several retiring this year (Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block 71395), Target exclusives (Harry Potter Shrieking Shack & Whomping Willow 76407), and of course new sets that are not selling well (Ideas Family Tree Home Décor 21346).

1 down 1 to go. I like how they managed to crush the flower GWP while grabbing it. While we are complaining different size boxes for the Ninjago GWPs it would be nice to have all 4 in similar size boxes but I guess they are recreating the real life set box size. sets to scale.

Many factors are included here. Disposable income has crashed as necessities are way up in price. This leads to buyers either scoffing at retired sets, or finding alternative means of acquiring similar non-branded versions of the sets. Sellers have to chase prices if they want to make sales and move product, leading to even further undercutting. Lego is also yanking a ton of previous aftermarket cash by pumping out so many excellent sets now. If they keep it up, it will continue to drain the pockets of the consumer as they will have to battle buying a discounted set at Walmart or paying a premium for an aftermarket retired set. It's simply a buyers market right now as those who can afford the upcharge on aftermarket bricks don't have nearly the competition that existed a couple years ago. The long term problem is that the increased price of necessities has normalized, and they're not coming back down. So this squeeze on the consumer is going to continue, which is just going to squeeze the reseller.

The mods need to step up.

Jeez I lay out a few months only to return and find bogus brick reviews here. We are def living in end times 😆

Insect Collection great set with no stickers, excellent prints, and unique part usage, look at the Sand Green Pistol. If you can find this for 20% off or more it is a definite pickup and has a good cross-over with the Botanical sets. The flower build at the base of the butterfly is top notch. 1111 pieces but a lot of them go to the stands and displays not the actual insects. You can easily remove the insects from the stands if you wanted to play with them. The building app now gives you stats. Build: 8 Play: 6 Display: 8 Value: 7

There is a target market for classic space theme. This does not hit that market. Is the second figure holding a pot of mashed potatoes?
