I'm in Canada and noticed the Speed Champions Toyota GR Supra 76901 has been 25% for a few days at a time in Walmart, and then back to full price a few days later over the last 2 weeks. I'm sure you track all sites, maybe others haven't caught that, so thought I'd share. Picked some up the second time I noticed it drop
Question about adding to your inventory. If you receive a lego that is not damaged by the glue has broken apart so the box appears to be slightly open - do you return those? Leave them? Or have a way to re-seal. I have gotten a few items that I can tell have not been opened but 4 or 5 spots of glue have failed. Thank you for the advice.
How concerned are you about Race Plane being out of stock? I'm on the fence about adding to my position, waiting for any sale, then I see even AMZ is OOS.
How to get ungated?! Seems incredibly difficult to get access to a wholesaler to get an invoice to then be able to get to Amazon. Most wholesalers I've seen require this as a whole business and want business history. Maybe I'm missing something...
Is there a way to pay monthly for the private membership? I bought both the Lego mastery and textbook mastery not realizing I would be interested in the private membership.
I'm ungated for LEGO but noticed I can sell Star Wars Imperial TIE Fighter 75300 under ASIN B08G444BQH (Sales Rank: 290,489 ) but not under ASIN B08HW13SQ6 (Sales Rank 931). Ever seen this happen where there are 2 listings for the same set but the one with highest sale ranking is disallowed for your account even though there are multiple 3rd party sellers on both listings?
Thanks for the response - do you think it's odd I'm ungated in LEGO but can only sell on some of the primary listings? Has this ever happened to you? For me it's about 50/50 being allowed to sell on the primary.
Sorry - follow-up Q: I have not purchased Megalodon because I'm not permitted to sell at this time and worried about adding a position where I'm barred. For sets like Lego Technic Monster Jam Megalodon 42134, have you ever experienced the "sub-gating" where you are permitted to sell Lego generally, but they are not accepting additional applications for a specific set?
Thank you for that tip. I'll have to be conservative and hold back. It appears, for example, I'm still gated in Max-D 42119 a similar Monster Jam retired in 2022. All the more power to you all that can sell Megalodon. Go get it!
I plan on getting your lego investment guide soon. In the meantime, do we hold on all these through Christmas and sell when exactly? Is there a specific time? I know it takes around ~6 weeks to get products into Amazon to sell. (Sorry - newbie here)

Didn't happen in the US, but I'd be jumping on that if I saw it!

I exchange always.
Don't want to deal with a return when I go to sell it later.
Thanks for confirming. Do you ever run into issues with retailers? I'm pretty sure I'm about to return 4 AT-STs :-)
Haven't yet no
Aston Martin at 14.99 (25% discount) on AMZ: https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Champions-Martin-Building-Featuring/dp/B09XWXM8R8
You can get the Skywalker helmet at Best Buy for the same price as Amazon and get 2% back on Rakuten.
Correct.
I get 5% back on Amazon with the Prime Business card which is better, but I will transition to Best Buy once I hit the limit with Amazon.
Man, I have so much to learn.
That’s the fun part!
Lego Technic Race Plane 42117 on Fat Brain Toys for $8.39. Less than stellar rating on TrustPilot but seemed to be for expectations of overnight shipping. Willing to test them for this first purchase: https://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/lego_systems_inc/lego_technic_race_plane.cfm
Let me know how it goes!
Ran out of stock
Peeking at the Cyber Monday deals. How will Walmart make these Speed Champions sets $10 when they appear OOS? https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Speed-Champions-Toyota-GR-Supra-76901-Yellow-Racing-Car-Building-Set/433723993 https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Speed-Champions-Koenigsegg-Jesko-76900-White-Racing-Car-Building-Set/566385052
My only assumption is LEGO having sent them a giant shipment meant for this sale.
How concerned are you about Race Plane being out of stock? I'm on the fence about adding to my position, waiting for any sale, then I see even AMZ is OOS.
No concern.
More will be available.

Buy 10 keychains on lego.com, wait for them to ship, submit the invoice with Amazon.
Quite simple actually.
A total of 10 keychains of any model or 10 of a single model? Looks like lego.com maxes out at 5 of any given keychain, unless I'm missing something.
The spider man keychain has a limit of 50
Gotcha, thanks.
Same one. Usually there is one or some item type that allows for 10+.
Whoa. 🔥let’s go. Amazon indicates it’s wholesalers only. I guess direct works too. Thanks.
You can also go A2A (Amazon to Amazon). Amazon considers themselves a distributor - buy 10 of any item you need and submit as Jarek suggested.
I did. It’s taylorcree@gmail.com. Thank you!
Check your email.

There is not. If you've bought both, I'll give you access though. What is your gumroad email?

Yes. In general I say avoid selling on the secondary listings. I see them get shut down all the time.

It happens. Amazon clamps down hard for Q4 on certain listings. It usually goes away at a later date. You aren’t alone.
Appreciate your guidance good sir!
I could be wrong, but last I checked on the Helmet set, it retires mid 2024?
Every source I use says EOY.
If what you are looking at says mid 2024 stop using it.
Any tips for getting around Lego.com buy limits? Or having issues getting orders canceled?
Nearly impossible.
Have yet to find a reliable strategy.

For sets like Lego Technic Monster Jam Megalodon 42134, have you ever experienced the "sub-gating" where you are permitted to sell Lego generally, but they are not accepting additional applications for a specific set?
It happens to sellers without a long history.
I recommend checking every Technic set that retired in 2022. If all are ungated, this one will likely be too by the time it goes to sell.
Thank you for that tip. I'll have to be conservative and hold back. It appears, for example, I'm still gated in Max-D 42119 a similar Monster Jam retired in 2022. All the more power to you all that can sell Megalodon. Go get it!

I buy in Q4 with intent to sell the following Q4 so 12-16 months on average.
