AMZ price matching Target’s price again this morning for these sets!

Four hour price-match window from Amazon? Jeesh, that's rough.

Should I monitor the Discord channel if the price match window opens again? Until my prep center can solve its Target issues, I'll have to rely on Amazon more.

Yes, that wouldn’t hurt

I'm not seeing the $19.59 price for 76909 on Amazon. What am I missing?

They closed their price match window. It's still available via Target though.

Asking out of curiousity, why are you picking something outside recommended themes like starrwars, technic etc.

Recommended by who or what?

I don't understand the question.

Recommended by you, the three themes mentioned in the mastering Lego class.

Those are the three themes I put the most capital in.

I mention in there that it is roughly a 70/30 split between those themes and all the rest.

If you look at the hit list you will see this distribution mentioned.

Every order at Target is getting instacancelled from both my accounts. Any solution to this?

Expand full comment

They just instacancelled my orders too; address is to my prep center.

Tell your prep center.

Many of them want to fix this so they can get more business.

Thanks. I'm in contact with the prep center but not hopeful as their suggestions thus far have not worked. This is annoying since I just placed a metric ton of orders with Target last week based on your buy alert.

nvm...i think they have blocked shipping to my prep center because it looks like shipping to my home is going through.

Expand full comment

So they blocked a single address, but your account that was having its orders cancelled still works fine?

Do you know if you did anything specific that got the address blocked?

Asking for myself.

Expand full comment

Thats what it looks like.

The blocked address is a prep center, so no idea as there are likely a ton of people shipping there.

Hi Jarek, I have the Prime CC but never see that 10% offer. Where are you seeing that? Thanks!

At checkout, it should be right below your card. Let me know if you don't see it.

Expand full comment

Yeah it’s not there for me. Only 5% :/

Do you think the Spider Man 76285 could be a valuable set during retirement phase?

Too early to tell, it doesn't retire until end of 2025.

Alright, I might just get for the price and hold on to it.

Hi, can you start looking at European/UK Amazon and posting updates for them when you do the buy alerts please.

That is not something I will do.

I already spend a lot of time every month managing the U.S. market.

My tools don't accurately monitor those markets either, so it wouldn't even be the greatest info.
