Backed up!

Orders are backed up since I had a job over the weekend that prevented me from working on things here in Lego Central. Plus we've gotten quite a few larger lot orders that'll take me a bit to fill. If you're waiting on an invoice please be patient. I'm working as fast as my feet and hands will allow. :-)

Thanks!

That's the thread with all the stores thus far, and what we're offering is:

Order 1000000 gets $25 off their order PLUS a batch of new parts PLUS free shipping PLUS a 15% off coupon good on your next order.

Order 999999 and order 1000001 get 15% off their order total, first batch ofcourse.

Hope that some of you stop on in!
(*OFFER ENDED, watch for next sale/reader discount!)

Tracy ((if you read Chris's post today, you'll know I'm looking forward to BeerBrats!))

Boring is good.

Orders have been moving along nicely lately. Nothing really to report!

I'm making beer brats for a BBQ Tracy and I are having with some friends tonight. They already smell yummy! You can take the girl out of Wisconsin but you...yeah, you know the rest. :-)

Tracy is in the process of sorting out sets so we can get some customers back into the store. Heck, if I was into LEGO like most of the folks here on Bricklink are, I'd be buying from Brick-A-Thon all the time! :-)

Ok, now that I've thoroughly bored everyone...bye!

Got Original Brown? WE DO!

It's been awhile since we've updated - we've been very busy with many things, specifically finalizing books for Uncle Sam. Never a fun chore, but something that must be done.

In new news, we're open for orders, the minimum is back to $5.00, things are running very smoothly and we miss your orders!

(SALE HAS SINCE ENDED - NO LONGER APPLIES) SALE: If you stop in and decide you just can't live without many of our amazing items let us know in the comments of your order and we'll give you a "Blog Reader Discount" (just mention the blog). WHAT is the discount you ask? Well, if you order up to $100 you'll get 5% off your order total, and if you order $100-$500 you'll get 10% off your order total (both of these include sets, so if you want an expensive set this is a good deal!). Want to place an order OVER $500 and make our day? We'll give you 15% up to $750 and 20% off on orders of $1,000 (DOES NOT INCLUDE SETS, SORRY)! Seriously! Yes, we would like some new orders so come and buy!

We DO have lot considerations (extra charges), but that only affects you if your order is not equal to 1 lot per $1 or more (i.e. - order 50 lots, your order needs to be $50 or over).

Any questions? Let us know!

Now...

BROWN : We've just added a TON of new original brown parts. Come see what we've got - these are all NEW. I should also be uploading more parts from sets and minifigs coming shortly. I'm hoping things get a bit calmer now that tax season is almost over (for the bookkeeping end of things).

BRICKWORLD: Going to BrickWorld in the Chicago-land area in June? (www.brickworld.us) If so, and you'd like to meet the Brick-A-Thon team, let us know, as we'd LOVE to meet some of our customers and associates! We'll be coming in for the full Thursday-Saturday and leaving on Sunday afternoon.

OREGON in JULY: We'll be in Portland, Oregon in July during the 2nd half of the month (for a little over a week) and would love to meet you there! Our schedule will be a bit hectic, but if you're in the area and would like to meet us please let us know.

Now, with all that said, come by and place an order with us at Brick-A-Thon! (www.brickathon.com)

Featured!

Tracy and I were so excited to see that Brick-A-Thon made the "Featured" catagory in the store listings this month. It wouldn't be possible, of course, without our customers giving us lots and lots of work to do! Thanks so much to all our customers old and new for the continued business and support!
