alienating customers that like a steal or that steal.
Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
any lucky folks that want to quickly unload a Constitution Train set for $50, Pirate Ambush $50, or black gate $30 total including shipping, feel free to contact me. pymt via paypal or other means. if it's cheaper to ship without the original box that would be fine with me. PM me if interested.
Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
Hi guys,
I managed to get the Lone Ranger Train for in store pickup for the lovely price of 10.99. They canceled my order on Pokemon Y for 18.99 and my Galaxy squad CLS Mech for 10.99. Currently "in processing" is the bug obliterator and the Vermin Vaporizer for 10.99 a piece. I really hope that those two go through, as not getting Pokemon Y or the CLS mech was already a let down...but with prices like this and the train, I can't complain. So if people are worried about not getting their items, I've heard its about a 50/50 shot. Good luck all.

Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
Picked up my Constitution Train in store without any issues. Some people on Slickdeals are reporting their stores are cancelling in store pickups but it seemed more like big things like TVs and treadmills.
Fingers crossed I get my Unexpected Gathering shipped to the store.

Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
Not holding out a lot of hope on this, although my order is still showing as processing. I didn't totally overdo it, so maybe it will slip under the radar. Guess I should have gone for store pickup, by my local Wally usually has terrible LEGO inventory. Glad to hear that some of you have gotten great deals!
Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
According to this leaked Walmart memo, they've been instructed to no longer to fullfill anymore pick-up orders. I'm sure it might vary store to store.

Also, noted the Tower of Orthanc is back in stock, I'm guessing they started to cancel those orders.

Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
I did two store pick-up orders and got these sets for $10.99/each:
Hobbit An Unexpected Gathering
Lone Ranger Stagecoach Escape
Lone Ranger Colby City Showdown
Lord of the Rings The Council of Elrond x2
Lord of the Rings Battle at the Black Gate
Castle Dragon Mountain
Space Galactic Titan x2
Space Swarm Intercept
Lone Ranger Constitution Train Chase
Space CLS-89 Eradicator Mech Play Set
Randomly chosen sets thinking I would just get a cancellation email but they sent a ready-to-pick-up email, Walmart clerk processed my order and I was rolling out the store with the shopping cart filled to the brim.

Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
Just got an email saying that my order shipped! Looking at the tracking information, it appears that it was picked up before 2pm CST Wednesday, and the shipping info was sent to the Fedex mid-morning yesterday. So maybe it went out before they fully realized the problems.
Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
Yes at $10.99, the two biggest set will never happen even on clearance. Screw up of the year, pretty sure someone will get their behind fired for sure. Or maybe someone was on their way out and say screw this.Tiedmon wrote:I got the LOTR Black Gate, LOTR Pirate Ship, LOTR Council of Elrond, LOTR Mines of Moria, Lone Ranger Train, and the Hobbit Goblin King! 10.99 each!

FedEx just dropped off my order! I guess I ordered it early enough that they had already shipped it before they realized the problems. It's an early Christmas here!
Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
This is just theft.
Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
Have to disagree, this is more like taking advantage of an error not commited by us. On the other hand, people whom buy up all the stocks when ever there are clearances and resell for profits, now that is theft against the people!Dmendro wrote:This is just theft.

Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing
its not theft at all.
look, walmart posted a price online, and if you gave them your credit card, and they processed it, the deal was DONE.
its theft if you did not pay for them. people DID pay.
congrats to anyone who got sets. i would rip open a 12 buck train and never worry about the after market value. its cheap legos to add to your personal collection!!!
just the spare legos alone are worth it, let alone the great minifigs you get.

Knowing something is not supposed to be sold at that price, then buying it anyway is the same thing as switching the price tags on two different items. Yeah someone screwed up, but YOU KNOW it's not supposed to be that price. You are just looting the store and throwing $10.88 at walmart to make your conscience feel better.
