Happy Monday?

Hey all!

If you've placed an order with us, it'll take a few days to get an invoice to you as we're working on orders from Friday afternoon today.

Hopefully we'll be caught up sooner than later.

Has it really been over a week?!

Hello all!

Unfortunately we've been slacking on the blog lately. Last week was fairly busy here in Lego Zentral so there was not much time to write. Boooooo!

This week orders have been coming in, getting filled, and going out the door - just the way I like it. :-) Tracy has been adding some pretty sweet items in the store, and I think she has a ton more goodies to post over the next few days or so. You never ever know what'll end up in the store, so please keep checking back before someone else snags the item you're looking for!

Yes, it's true, we've implemented a "Lot Limit" on all orders. While we appreciate all orders that we receive, pulling a 100+ lot order for a small amount of dough is a little discouraging. This will definitely assist in processing and delivery times of all orders that we receive. We haven't had to use the Lot Limit yet, but hopefully it won't hinder too many of you from ordering in our shop. It'll be enforced, but I do believe there will be some head room here, depending on what types of parts are ordered, quantity, etc. Like Tracy said, we're not doing this to scare away customers, it's just that something needed to be done to justify larger lot orders full of penny parts.

Tracy and I are gearing up for BrickWorld 2008. We attended last year, but this year Brick-A-Thon will be getting more involved with auctions, sponsorship, and getting out there to meet as many people as we can! We're really looking forward to meeting some of the nice folks that we deal with on Bricklink.

That all being said...on to orders!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

It's the day of shamrocks and green beer!

And order pulling for me! At least until tonight anyway!

Yes, orders are caught up, YAY! It was a crazy week last week, but I'd like to thank all of our customers for their patience while we were working on getting caught up. THANK YA!

If you're Irish like myself and enjoy St. Patty's Day like I do I hope it's a fun and safe one!

Still at it!

I've been working through the stack and am now on orders from the 11th. Hopefully by tomorrow, depending on what happens tonight, I'll be caught up for the most part. If you're still waiting on an invoice just hang tight. They're getting out, I promise!

Have a good evening everyone!

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS FOR EVERYONE!

It's that time of year again, folks - it's time to CELEBRATE!

We have two birthdays this year that we're celebrating and we wanted to wrap this up into one little sale. Chris's birthday was February 7th and mine is March 8th. Due to this, we've raised the minimum to $20 through March 9th (we'll change it back on the 10th) and order processing WILL BE SLOW as no one will be processing orders after tomorrow morning until next Monday.

Now, here's the sale part of this:

If you place a NEW order with us and the total # of lots are UNDER TEN LOTS you get 10% off your order (and yes, you have to hit $20). Any order under 20 lots will get 5% off. If you have a coupon, yes you can use this, why not? It's our birthdays, let's celebrate! You just need to make sure you put a note in the order about our birthday sale to make this valid.

To recap:

Place a new order, under 10 lots gets you 10% off; under 20 lots gets you 5%
off.
You can use your coupons.
New minimum is $20.
Orders will be SLOW to process, so don't expect an invoice until mid-next week at the earliest (we'll try to get them out sooner, of course).
We'll be manually giving discounts on ALL NEW ORDERS placed.
Make sure you put a comment in the order notes to get your discount regarding our birthday sale.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, we're actually going to try to both take the weekend OFF! :-O Shocking, I know!
