Set No: 40712  Name: Micro Rocket Launchpad
* 
40712-1 (Inv) Micro Rocket Launchpad
321 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2024
Sets: Space: Classic Space

I was just checking to see what's the average price, and there's a number
of sellers who has 50+ of this set somehow. The set was gift with purchase from
LEGO. Either someone placed multiple orders with LEGO to get 50+ sets or they
got it from another means.

Any idea how would someone get 50+ of 40712 sets legally?

Yeah Chinese sellers often have large numbers of promos.

Once I was asked by someone as I left a LEGO Store if I wanted to sell the promotional
set I had been given (for a small amount compared to the BL price). I hung around
for five minutes and noticed there was two guys, one near the till and one outside
the store. And they did get some hits, presumably people that bought something
they wanted and didn't really care about the promotional set and saw the
money offered as a bonus.

By placing 50+ orders. It isn’t that rare, in the past I got about ~40 of multiple
promos (and no those weren’t ones that were limited availability they were available
for many weeks on end)
