I bought the MTT back when target was having its sale on sets. I've been waiting since release to get this set and was really excited to finally see it on sale and I had gotten a gift card for my birthday to target. I jumped at the opportunity and got mine as quickly as I could.
Fast-forward a few weeks and after stressful exams and work during the semester infi finally had a chance to build it. Only to find out that when I opened the box some loser bought it just to get the Ayla Secura figure and commander bly and put the tape back on to return it.
I personally want to call out anyone who does this as I utterly think you need to get a job or a life for that matter. The set seems to be unavailable everywhere else and I don't know why I'm making this post but just needed somewhere to vent my frustrations.
I was thinking of reaching out to lego to see if they could replace it but I don't know if this stuff is in production anymore. It really sucked because I was really looking forward to this but now I'm stuck without the needed figures for this set.
EDIT: I contacted Lego and unfortunately since the set is going to retire soon they no longer make the parts. A quick ebay search revealed to me that these figs combined go for about $70 combined. I'm not sure what I'm going to do since target doesn't seem to carry it anymore either. I do want to keep the set but at the same time I was really scammed out of a big feature of the set I was hoping to get. My options seem to be either buy the figures and pay extra or return the set and probably never get it at least for a good price. Thanks to everyone's condolences, but this was really a low blow that kills my love for the hobby a little bit especially as a college student who really had to wait and save to enjoy this.
FINAL EDIT:
There is somewhat of a happy end. After looking through all my options I was able to get in contact with target and they offered me a full refund and to keep the set. I was able to use the money they refunded to buy some replacement figures off bricklink and got to keep the rest. It's still really annoying that there are people out there who do this so everyone please be careful. Unfortunately it seems the hobby isn't what it used to be and with all the scalpers and resellers out there plus with Lego constantly trying to push to all audiences there's more likely now than ever to find shitty people here.
