Dear Ed Mazerski: ...While we try to keep our prices competitive with other companies which sell the same item, we are not always able to do so... Lol, that is quite a hilarious statement. Businesses often don’t last long if they sell an identical widget as the next guy for a higher price. Perhaps ...

I live in CA, in which Amazon will begin collecting tax in September. I sure am going to miss tax-free shopping. Oh well, it seems all good things come to an end. I have no clue why Amazon supports Federal legislation to charge taxes from its customers. The bottom line it that they'll lose business ...

^ That would be awesome, if this issue were fixed sometime soon. I feel like I'm missing out on so many good deals from Amazon.it and Amazon.es.

...today I went on kmart.com and noticed that they jacked up prices on several sets by 10% or so. I'd never seen them do this before... Anyone know what's going on? Good observation. The raised prices are pretty disappointing; maybe they are trying to expedite their demise lol. If they are having t...

Don't think we've seen this one yet. 7345 Transport Chopper. Really neat that it can store the car! This set was leaked sometime during February, I believe. I've been looking forward to it for a while. I wish it were minifigure scale, but oh well. Well, imo, too many helicopter has been released th...

Naked mini figs would be pretty cool (and funny)

You can also use Brasso metal polish. $3 at Home Depot. I've used this stuff on many bare metal surfaces with awesome results. But you wont get that minty fresh smell afterwards like with crest! http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202820651/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&k...

Just bought the 8043 Motorized Excavator and 8109 Flatbed Truck from Amazon UK for £164 shipped (currently $261.51 + 2.7% Amex foreign transaction fee for me; total of $269). That works out to about ±$90 for the 8043 and ±$180 for the 8043. The cheapest I've seen the 8043 is $171 back in September f...

Nice, I missed that!

I like that you're thinking of ways to work together to save money on sets we would buy anyway. However, I don't think the system, as it is currently proposed, would work for me. Here's why: 1. I would likely be too nervous handing someone I don't know hundreds of dollars or more, however trustworth...

^^I ordered 4 items off Kmart.com. 1 is for store pick up and the other 3 were to be shipped. I just noticed that my email order confirmation lists the 3 to be shipped as unavailable in warehouse and order to be fulfilled by store. I didn't even get a shipping confirmation for the 3 items, yet. The...

Is anyone geting an e-mail stating the items have shipped, but with a tracking number that doesn't work? Immediately after I ordered, I also noticed that each item was out of stock in the warehouse and that the order would be fulfilled by stores. Combined with the non-working tracking number, I'm be...

Markpitts wrote:As someone who does this as a jobby, it is good business. In the past 5 years I have sold somewhere over a million dollars worth. I buy them on clearance and hold until there is a market for them. In addition I have made some international contacts so there's that.

LOL.

I was trying to order two of the Tower Bridge, but it will only allow me to order one. How lame. FAO Schwartz and etoys are the same story. I wish something else was commensurately priced, so I wouldn't feel ripped off by only buying one TB.

MSRP is $79.99, so $60.58 is a pretty solid discount especially considering most don't have to pay tax/shipping. http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Story-Western-Train-Chase/dp/B003DTMQAW/?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=toys-and-games&tag=tonbr-20&linkCode=ur2&qid=1330059933&camp=1...

Go to FAO.com, they allow 2 of one item and they have the same promos going on right now. EDIT: I just noticed both FAO and eToys removed the GE listing on their website. :oops: First thing I tried lol. But like you said, they removed the GE from the respective sites. No such luck with ordering the...

Grand emporium back in stock as of writing, couple with the technic logging truck 9397 for a good deal. Tower Bridge also in stock as of typing this. Thanks for the heads up! Bummer that the website does not allow you to purchase 2 GE's. Also, I just missed the TB!! It allowed me to add to my cart,...

So sick of TRU * Markups that are completely BS * They say "ALL" but it doesn't mean all * Items actually worth something are 99% out of stock for shipping Here's the kicker, wanted to get 2 shuttle expeditions, the details page for that states limit 2, I try to add 2 and the cart says li...

Well, I'm officially done with Toysrus. Diagon Alley "conveniently" is out of stock for shipping. It's been there for weeks on end in stock. I had it in my cart 5 minutes ago. As soon as they begin to adjust their website for the 20% HP sale...BOOM. No longer in stock. Absolute scumbags. ...
