Scalpers & Delivery Delays Cause Headache For LEGO Fans In The

As kids go back to school, and Summer comes to an end a "light at the end of the tunnel" for a bunch of kids is the holidays, or birthdays. A very popular gift for kids is LEGO. I myself was a huge fan of this toy as a kid. I still find myself a fan to this day.

Sadly, we are seeing some delays in online orders on the LEGO website.

An obvious answer to this problem is to just go to a store, but sadly scalpers continue to snag up countless LEGO sets right after they hit shelves. These people almost always buy the max amount of sets they can result in nothing be left for kids. It's not just LEGO either, it is countless other brands of toys too.

Who knew the world of Toys was so cutthroat?
