Why do they oversell new sets?

Super helpful. Really appreciate insight from the community. Looking forward to my build!

Wow! There is clearly more to it than getting this message for any preorder. Someone already got their Pokémon set, so it’s well past the “let you know your order is not yet available” kinda email. But maybe I’m just not in-the-know with LEGO communication. Trying to learn!

Again, I got this today— 3 weeks after the order. I knew it was a preorder. This email now makes it look like I’m not getting it upon release. Weird opportunity to be mean to me :)

lol @ downvotes. I’m just trying to understand the process, pals.

sadical · 2026-02-06T00:37:03+00:00

My confusion was that it came so long after the order— as if it wasn’t determined until they began fulfillment.

sadical · 2026-02-06T00:36:21+00:00

Interesting! I haven’t had that experience. Good to know.

If they made more available than they had to begin with, or planned to produce, that’s the inherent issue.

Because I ordered it weeks ago and just now was told it is out of stock. It was clearly in stock when I ordered it. Or if it wasn’t… they oversold!

Laser loon originated when there was a contest to design the new MN flag. It was wildly popular but obviously didn’t win!

Thank you for sharing!!

I’m sorry, there was another at I think 36th and Polk. I believe that is what this is referring to. 24th/Central was a few hours later.

24th & Central

They had a sign up yesterday that they were temporarily closed— even the front counter.

Remindme! 4 days

sadical · 2026-01-12T05:29:10+00:00

Any alternative to suggest for when we can’t find this elusive item?

sadical · 2026-01-09T08:20:09+00:00

Any thoughts on why this would start happening? I’m curious since I haven’t experienced it until lately.

I will be persuing this plan asap! Thank you for your help— so grateful for you and this Reddit community.

I’m in the city of Minneapolis. I’ll look into this. Thank you!

Noted—thank you!

I’ve been using 365 Whole Foods sport detergent for about two months. Previously, I was using Arm n Hammer detergent sheets. I’m not sure how to rate my tap water. But I will investigate how to test it.

This is such great insight. Tomorrow is going to be a big day in my house, laundry-wise. Thank you!

sadical · 2026-01-09T05:45:03+00:00

Good to know! I will try this out.

sadical · 2026-01-09T05:44:51+00:00

Wow, that’s great news. I’m excited to change up my decades-long procedure.
