Building My LEGOs

Hey @Target @AskTarget this is unacceptable

@K7thekid @BakedTurboFlash @Target @AskTarget No

@BuildingMyLEGOs @BakedTurboFlash @Target @AskTarget Then shut up and build it dork

Hey @Target @AskTarget this is unacceptable

@stephynose @Target @AskTarget My initial tweet is boring af dude. I had 2 followers at that time. It was targets response that made this go viral. I did not expect or ask for this tweet to get 5 million views. If target had just said “hey dm us” no one would have ever seen this.

@BuildingMyLEGOs @Target @AskTarget Imagine posting this for internet points instead of just doing a return through customer service. But you're a grown man building lego sets so it makes sense.

@BakedTurboFlash @Target @AskTarget Scalpers buy multiple sets and keep them sealed. I bought one box that will be opened and built. Gtfoh

@BuildingMyLEGOs @Target @AskTarget Scalpers arent people

@glitter2dust @XCWarrior1 @Target @AskTarget No it most certainly is not trash it’s part of the display

@BuildingMyLEGOs @XCWarrior1 @Target @AskTarget So the box is trash

@CapedCodder @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl Targets replies made this go viral. It wasn’t anything I did. My tweet was boring af and no one would have ever seen it if target hadn’t said what they said. I had 2 followers. I did not expect or ask for this tweet to get 5 million views.

@BuildingMyLEGOs @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl If you ordered it yourself, requested a gift *receipt* yourself and plan to build it yourself, who was the surprise spoiled for? It's fine if you sensationalized the overall issue to get a more sympathetic response from Target, but come on dude.

@XCWarrior1 @Target @AskTarget I do intend to open it. How else will it get built? What are you on about?

@BuildingMyLEGOs @Target @AskTarget Great reminder to not buy things you never plan on opening from a website

@Kartonkoppboi @nomato69 @Target @AskTarget Targets replies made this go viral. It wasn’t anything I did.

@nomato69 @BuildingMyLEGOs @Target @AskTarget Just return it instead of whining on twitter then lol

@DanCallery @Zuckerkranker @TheBeardedRando @Target @AskTarget Targets actions made this go viral. My original tweet is boring af. I did not expect or ask for this tweet to get 5 million views. And yes I am returning it so I can purchase another one from somewhere else.

@BuildingMyLEGOs @Zuckerkranker @TheBeardedRando @Target @AskTarget Returning something you cried to target that “it was a gift and the surprise is ruined”? Now you’re returning it? Engagement farming without a blue checkmark just for the love of the game?

@CapedCodder @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl According to you there is no such thing as marking it as a gift so according to you all of these questions are moot. Argue with yourself about what whether marking as a gift exists or not and let me know which one of you wins.

@BuildingMyLEGOs @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl You marked it as a gift yourself? You stated you were building it. Who was spoiled by the lack of a box if you ordered it as a gift for yourself? Did a family member send it as a gift for you? I don't understand how the surprise was ruined if it was ordered by you for you.

@cerealsthatkill @ZigxyPLP @Target @AskTarget At the time I had 2 followers bro. It was targets snarky reply that made this go viral. I did not ask for or expect for this tweet to get 5 million views.

@BuildingMyLEGOs @ZigxyPLP @Target @AskTarget Why do it here? Get a refund.

@CapedCodder @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl Ok good I still marked it that way just like target told me I should have.

@BuildingMyLEGOs @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl That only allows you to send a gift message and a gift receipt.

@CapedCodder @Nytadk @Target @AskTarget No one would have ever seen this if target hadn’t replied to me so rudely. I did not ask for this tweet to get 5 million views.

@BuildingMyLEGOs @Nytadk @Target @AskTarget A social media staffer told you the wrong thing on a viral tweet? Scandalous. Just resolve your issue via the chat option on the app/website, not Twitter. You were not presented with an option to choose a box to conceal the item. You could choose a gift message and receipt.

@CapedCodder @Nytadk @Target @AskTarget They told me I should have marked it as gift. I responded that I did mark it as a gift. I am not sure why that’s an issue?

@CapedCodder @GhostyMtl People were asking me why I ordered it from target. My response was that when I ordered it it was hard to find. Time moves forward and things change with time. Stop acting like you don’t understand how time works

@BuildingMyLEGOs @GhostyMtl So, not "right now" then. You've responded to numerous people saying it's difficult to purchase and you're concerned about getting another one, when you could have checked LEGO.com this morning and purchased a replacement.

@CapedCodder @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl I literally just added something to my cart on targets website and took this screenshot 30 seconds ago.

@BuildingMyLEGOs @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl You requested a gift receipt. There isn't an option to request specific packaging. It sucks that it was damaged - I get it. But flipping back and forth between the issue being that the gift was spoiled or the box was damaged makes you seem disingenuous.

@CapedCodder @desunyan2 @GhostyMtl So when target tweeted at me that I should have marked it as a gift they just made that up out of thin air? They were telling me I should have done something I don’t actually have the capability to do on their website? Because that makes it worse not better

@GremmPaltakin @Target Crickets since they deleted their snarky replies to me

@BuildingMyLEGOs @Target did Target reach out to you to apologize or anything

@VickijEth To be fair this is on target not LEGO tho

Lego getting no breaks this week 😭

@RLRottman @Target @AskTarget Bro at the time I had 2 followers. It was targets snarky reply to me that made this go viral. No one would have seen it if they had just said “hey message us” but that’s not what they did. I didn’t ask for or expect this tweet to get 5 million views

@BuildingMyLEGOs @Target @AskTarget You could have sent @asktarget a DM to alert them to the... issue. There are online collectible retailers that specialize in ensuring the packaging is in mint condition. You evidently thought Target was one of those. Take it to your local Target, and you'll get a full refund.
