It might end up being a meter long reminder of something you would rather forget. Expand Ugh...you have a fair point, and I’ll take it into consideration.
karrit Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 My shipping has now been updated to delivery on Friday instead of Tomorrow. Was supposedly in Chicago as of 2 hours ago. Knowing Fedex it could sit there for a day or two before moving on. I may need to go buy something else now to tide me over.

LegoFjotten Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Got my Diagon Alley today, and built the first 5 bags (Olivander & Scribbules). Love it so far! Will try to space out the build over 4 days, patience permitting...

RODDY Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Pfft...amateurs try going a step a day. Still on Bag 7 and got it on Sept 1 Edited September 7, 2020 by RODDY
Wimmer Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Yay ! So, I got my DA delivered yesterday, with time to spare in the day, around 11:30. Opened the box and found both sets (GWP) in there. But, a huge gash in the front of the box of DA; damaged enough I didn’t want it that way. This morning I made sure I was at the LEGO store at opening time; and they exchanged it without problem. Got myself Hedwig as well, and one mini figure (Hermoine with butter beer ?, ??), and got the Owl Delivery set as well as the other giveaway which has some kind of motorcycle in it Overall pretty happy, and if the forest ? stays away from my Southern California home, I might start building later on !!! ?

But at almost 55 years old, other things tend to be/get more important in live. I also have quite a large amount of HO scale trains; and if I have to evacuate I’ll worry about the family first, the pets second, important papers third, some memories and pc towers fourth. And if there’s enough room left in any of the cars; we can start bringing things like these (very much wanted !) toys with me/us...

Big difference, especially with how quickly people run with rumors like that and then before you know it, everyone thinks that’s official information.

Mine is getting close...as of noon it was at the last usual check in point before reaching its destination to where it becomes “out for delivery.” While it says Wednesday, I’m hoping for a tomorrow delivery.
