Re: Friends pets series 5 at TRU

Spotted these at local toys r us today. $3.99 each. I tried purchasing them today, but the register wouldn't let them ring up - said there was a October 1 embargo date. I tried to push the manager because they were on display on the shelf, but he would not budge. A short time later, I found them at...

Re: LEGO Bricktober 2012 USA Week 3 Sale

Actually, I used the coupon today. They never said anything about it not being stackable, and my receipt shows the discount. VMF or not, I am NOT paying over retail for current LEGO sets. I would have walked out right there and then.

Re: Friends Polybags at Walmart. 30102, 03, 05

Here's the relevant part of my receipt. I bought five 30102 and five 30103. The person at the register scanned a 30103 twice then voided it. I don't know why the receipt says 30087 instead of 30103. The numbers that start with 0673 are the UPC codes and correctly match the ones on the bags. Hope th...

Re: City and Ninjago 2012 Polybags 30017, 18, 85, 86 at Walm

Would somebody please post the UPC codes from these polybags so I can try getting an associate to check stock for me?

Thanks!

Re: Friends Polybags at Walmart. 30102, 03, 05

Does anyone have a UPC or Wal-Mart SKU for the three polybags?

Any associate with access to a scan gun or computer terminal can check stock with one of those two numbers.

No luck at my normal Wal-Mart, but I will be near another one not too far from home tomorrow and will try to check.

Re: Customer Service #Fail

I am surprised that LEGO made it somewhat challenging for you to get replacement sets. Perhaps they are cracking down because of past cases of abuse (not from you but in general). I too have had issues w/ USPS leaving my item out in the rain without a plastic bag. This case was TRU and they replace...

Re: Customer Service #Fail

Your order was delivered by USPS from LEGO? I always get FedEX in which case they would be liable for the delivery of the product and you can even file a damage claim online....weird. I took advantage of the free shipping offer, which they ship via FedEx SmartPost (it is sent in bulk by FedEx overn...

Re: Customer Service #Fail

Read what you wrote... Did lego crush the box? Did TLG tell the delivery people to ship it to your front and back door? Did TLG create the storm and purposely damage the sets you purchased? Who is really the victim here? You who have the sets in hand and are getting replacement items...or TLG who a...

Re: Customer Service #Fail

After hearing the details about what happened, it really does sound like something Lego would normally go above and beyond for. And I'm understand as I consider myself super OCD about the sets I purchase because I also keep everything included. It was the delivery company's fault really, but you ca...

I am a Customer Service Manager at a Financial Institution's call center, and in all honesty I think you're being way too harsh on TLG and their "Business Continuity" plan. Issues pop up ALL the time, and those are what are normally planned for, NOT a major Natural Disaster.... in those e...

Re: Customer Service #Fail

Shocked to hear about damaged items from S@H. Everything I get comes impeccably packed... US and UK markets are two totally seperate business divisions for LEGO....why is the fact that a different region is being offered the set interesting? This stuff happens often in all lines of business. The pr...

Re: [USA] Special Invitation for VIP Members to shop before

the positive from this is that you can get part 1 of the holiday set for $9.99. this changes everything. i'll just get 15 of these to qualify for the 10% off $149 + scratch card + pab box + 1x part 2 of the holiday set. According to shop@home, the part 1 holiday set is completely sold out. They cou...

Re: Customer Service #Fail

Alas, patience was NOT a virtue in this case. Very disappointed. After learning about the snow storm issue, I calmed down and changed my approach with TLG. They are replacing two of the damaged items, but the third - and the main reason for my order to S@H - the 2011 Holiday Promotional Set 1 of 2 -...
