I called the end three days ago. If you have the time, I would keep checking today. My best guess is they are cancelling bot orders and re-releasing them.

I placed 6 orders of 12 last night. 4 were canceled. We'll see if the other 2 ship.

It looks like they are allowing two 12 count orders per account? I have a 12,12,1,1,1 that have not been cancelled...yet.

I think it’s done. It’s no longer possible to do the add to cart trick from “saved for later” and the price now shows as $0.00 in saved for later, where yesterday even when it was out of stock it still showed $59.98. It looks exactly like mosaic i have had in saved for later for a few weeks, which has never been possible to move to cart.

This happened before a few days back though as well, so there's a chance it'll pop back up again.

They have been up and readily available lately. Not enough room for flippers on them, and enough of a production increase that everyone should be able to get as many as they want.

12,12,1,5,5 across three accounts. Still not sure how they process the fraud cancellations. I never could do more than two orders on one account... But I had plenty of new accounts where I wasn't able to order any without an instant cancelation.

Hoping they ship, not holding my breath.

thought about grabbing 10 more last night but have 2 orders processing and didn't want to chance it. I could see these being done. There have been a lot of reloads plus shipments to stores. We'll see but could very well be the end of it.

Finally! It's so refreshing to have a desirable retail product be available to anyone at almost anytime! We are not being "bot-ed" each time we try!

Glad the bots are focusing on other products! Leave the complete sets to us!

there might be money to be made busting them open and piecing them out, or holding them til next season to see if any prospects take off, but if you get one of these next week and sell it for $85 shipped, it’s gonna cost $10+ to ship it, then you give pp and ebay their 13% you have less than $10 profit. it’s not really a flippers dream.

To be fair using your numbers...net is -.27 after fees.

Sell for $85 shipped with $10 shipping =$75
If you buy at MSRP $60, plus sales tax of $4 =$64 cost
=$11 net
-ebay $8.50
-PP $2.77

I don’t have sales tax, but yeah point is these don’t have much value beyond msrp.

These would be really awkward to ship too and require some packing peanuts or something similar which is gonna cost you $1 at least.

Our Wal Mart stocked. Found some Mosaic cellos. I don't think the Green Sets got restocked for what it's worth

Went to several WMs yesterday and did not see any restockings of the green sets.

I definitely wouldn't be selling these for $85 shipped. I sold my initial 11 at $105 apiece. It wasn't a big profit, but it was a decent flip for little work. I still have 7 and possibly another 8 coming in from Wal Mart (if they don't get cancelled lol). I'll be holding those for now

surely the greens will only increase in value until someone hits the 1/1 set, which of course i'm sure is one of mine

Did anyone who pre-ordered sets through Fanatics receive anything? I checked my order history and even though I was charged my order was not listed under my account.

Right now they are going for about $100 shipped, we’ll see if that holds next week. You always get more when you sell right off the bat, then prices drop as more supply gets in the market. Anything below $100 there is very little margin in them unless you can move 3-4 in a lot to amortize shipping costs.

$10 is probably a low end shipping cost, it may be closer to $15 when you include postage, box and packing supplies, depending on how far you have to ship it.

I purchased some on 9/5. The order is showing with a status of "new" and have heard zero about shipping.
