BigHobbit Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I saw that too. Maybe Target exclusive for first month? Great Hall and Whomping Willow already backordered ...whew! Quote
LEGOMotionStudios Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 How is everything on backorder so quickly? I added everything to my cart, went around to other sites to see if they had better deals, came back and saw they would ship in 30 days! Quote

Great Hall and Whomping Willow already backordered ...whew! Everything is backordered now! When I placed my order it was all backordered but I’m hoping it won’t take 30 days to ship. I’m placing a separate Hogwarts Express order as soon as it’s available. Quote
LEGOMotionStudios Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Would the safest decision be to wait and order it all from target, or place a backorder from Lego.com? Quote

dajazz Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 All sets available to buy on Target’s website except Hogwarts Express Quote

Boettner Builds Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Really LEGO?!!? Everything’s back order already?!? Number 1 toy company in the world and they still can’t figure out the basic stuff. I’m beyond disappointed and am fully pissed off. Quote
joeee Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I wonder if they aren't as prepared because they pushed forward one month. Quote
Roebuck Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Well looks like a lot of you in the US have to wait as long as the rest of us The CMF really complement the sets as aforementioned, so I wonder if the future goblet of fire sets will focus on Fleur and Krum as Harrys competition since we got Cedric Diggory already In fact I expect most of the unique CMF figs not to show up in the next wave of sets.. I know the designer said they scrapped the Chamber of secrets set, but I would not be surprised if that pops up in a future wave, since all the characters is missing even Ginny Is it only me or do Nagini have printing on the body in the picture on the leaflet Quote
Anonknee Muss Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I hate HP and FB with a passion. But am I the only one who noticed the soft cape in the CMF Series, that’s never happened before, I’m quite excited for the future of CMFs now! Quote

While Draco is the only one with it cloth cape, it would seem that you are right! It’d be good if they continue using those capes. Quote
Robianco Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Well if it's really sold that quickly from minute one on the US site then I think people can rest easily about potential sales influencing the decision to green light future waves. Quote
Brickity Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Do you guys think Luna and Moody will have a 2nd face? I hope Cedric has a 2nd face with his eyes closed so you can relive the scene where he dies. Quote

Moody has a 2nd face, it’s Barty Crouch Jr’s face, I’m personally hoping Luna has a 2nd face with the glasses on Quote

I'm not sure it is true sales. I was on the UK S@H site at midnight and all the new Brickheadz - HP, Frozen, SW etc - said coming 1st July. Refreshed a second later and they all said on Backorder will ship 2nd July. I highly doubt all the Brickheadz would have sold that much in seconds in the middle of the night; it seems like a sales technique to me to make it seem like they sold fast. Maybe Lego really isn't releasing the sets before August 1st apart from at Target and this is a way for them to gage interest / increase scaremongering that they will sell out really quick. I hate to have to say it, but going on the above ... Quote

I hate to have to say it, but going on the above ... I'm not sure if there's some kind of glitch in the system. Brickset has all the sets listed but none have listings as being 'owned' by anyone. I'm sure someone would have jumped on that had they ordered them. I can't find any listing for a Wizarding World or HP theme on the Lego S@H site. I don't think Lego really need to do the artificially limited availability thing with these sets... they're a full entirely new wave, rather than just a single UCS set like the Falcon. That was a huge set available as part of an evergreen theme at a price point never touched by Lego previously. Some of these are £15-£20 sets... they'll want to shift as many as possible. Quote
LegoFjotten Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I doubt LEGO has any interest in playing these kinds of games. More likely the products are registered in the database with an available for purchase from date, but stock is still registered as zero for whatever reason -> directly to backordered. I do think the sets will be extremely popular though, and it is a really strong lineup. Impossible to say if LEGO has correctly estimated demand or not, and we know from the first Jurassic World wave and the UCS MF that if they misjudged demand it might take a while for the sets to be back on the shelves. If it was important to me to get the sets early I would not take any chances. Quote

But they were indeed available until sellout. Quote

deskp Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 They are listed on shop at home for me, but "coming soon" august 1st. Quote

There will be some happy people at least. I shall await August 1st and hope I am as fortunate :) Quote
