Seen this a lot. So I avoid amazon where I can if anywhere else is the same price.
I used to worry about that but decided that our lego is for enjoyment not investment and we don't have storage for the boxes. So they all went to the recycling except for the Bugatti and Lambo boxes. Now I won't worry about labels on boxes when shopping for cheapest deal either .

I use to keep all the boxes, for everything. What a waste of time. Just recycle everything now.
The chances of me repacking things then selling them on is not going to happen.

I kept everything. I put the smaller boxes inside of the bigger ones and so on to minimise loft space! We have between 120-150 kits and my son has now grown out of playing with it. This month I started what will be a 2 year plan to break down the kits still made and sort and check. Then start on the broken down kits.
If I started again with hindsight I would never have put stickers on anything that wasn’t UCS!
A huge job but the profit will probably pay for his first car when we decide what we sell.

Had that several times too and the box has even been punctured, although they did give partial refunds on those occasions.

It must be things above certain size they do it in, although I ordered a couple of filters to my air purifier, about just a little larger A4 size and an inch thick for the box? One is about 2 inch thick.
The thinner one came with address label stuck on the product packaging but the larger one was inside an Amazon box. It makes no sense.
It really annoying when this happens
I received my Batman car from amazon today
Really not impressed with the packing and i did not order the reduced package version
You can't take any of these stickers off without ruining the box and the brown tape on the back of the box is coveringh a huge T shape rip.
I saw the 42110 Land Rover Defender was £95 on amazon uk yesterday
Kicking myself now for not buying it now ( I already have one of them)

The Ferrari Daytona SP3, will that be sold else where or is it solely going to be an exclusive to lego? It says ‘Exclusives‘.
Can’t find it any place else to set up price notification….

It really isn't worth that price let alone an increase.
Its a shame. The other 3 models are amazing
Lego is already expensive. It will end up not for kids at this rate. Only for adults

I agree, I’ve got to have it in my collection though.
Damn, I may just have to bite the bullet and get it now then. That’s brutal for the bigger sets as some of them are ridiculous.
Same for me unfortunately.
Put it this way. If it was the first one I would not be buying it

10-20 does sound like **** taking as they're not exactly cheap to start with, hopefully that would just be on cheaper sets, although I notice the falcon has gone up 50 quid.
