Those numbers earlier today were: Adventure in Transylvania 50k units Antique Shop 30k units Mushroom Village 30k units Popcorn Wagon 30k units The Thieves of Tortuga 40k units Thanks for sharing that information!

Looks like The Thieves of Tortuga is at the moment hovering around the 30k pre-ordered sets, Adventure in Transylvania is going towards 44k sets pre-ordered. Quote

There is also another variable within the code named dPercentagePreordered with a current value of 0.742725 nMaxAvailable * dPercentagePreordered = TotalPreOrders 40000 * 0.742725 = 29,709 So 10,291 sets are still available. If I had the time, I'd write some JavaScript to automatically extract these values and create a little dashboard on Classic-Pirates.com to better illustrate this. Quote
zinnn Posted June 12 Posted June 12 I am so happy that Lego/Bricklink are showing their middle fingers to all the scalpers :) Quote

GeoBrick Posted June 13 Posted June 13 (edited) is a happy boatswain now, with all the ruckus on a certain BDP set's page. Edit: On a more constructive note, making the order limit flexible gives the LEGO Group a better idea how much demand there is for certain types of sets. Edited June 13 by GeoBrick Quote
TalonCard Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Probably not going to happen, but I would hope too that producing more sets overall might bring the price down a little in the long run. Quote
NOD Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Luckily, I saw it in time and pre-ordered one. I should take the time to visit eurobricks site more often. Quote

How could you! But seriously... in case you missed the updates... The order limit was increased to 40,000 when it became apparent 30,000 was likely to sell out within a few hours of the commencement of Crowdfunding, At the time of writing 9,152 Thieves of Tortuga sets remain.

Hopefully more sets sell before the deadline. Strong Pirate sales should interest TLG into making more sets on this theme. A set of pirate mini figures would be excellent! Quote

GeoBrick Posted July 6 Posted July 6 (edited) I inspected the progress bar element in the set's page on Bricklink (right click on a page, and the lowest option in the pull-down window that shows then). Percentage of the production treshold (that's 3000 pre-orders) related to the 100% bar gives me the amount of copies available. From that number you simply do the math of percentage of sales related to the amount of copies available. IIRC, the amount of copies for Tortuga changed at least 3 times. Started with 30K, went up to 40K, and in the end went a couple thousands copies lower then 40K. Edited July 6 by GeoBrick Clarification Quote

But how do you know the final pre-order limit was 40,000? They removed the nMaxAvailable variable not long after fans discovered it in the webpage code, and nMaxAvailable was reading 40000 on June 10 after the first increase. However, on June 20 the Progress Bar on The Thieves of Tortuga webpage once again suddenly moved backward, hinting at a further increase of the limit. Or more precisely, the dPercentagePreordered peaked at around 0.8996 on June 19 and then dropped to 0.8515 on June 20, I.e. a sudden 4.4% decrease. Quote

I never used that dPercentagePreordered code you refer to. Infact, I never even found it on the code. I used the percentage of necessary preorders (3k is the hard minimum), and derived the maximum available number of copies from that. And then I take the percentage of pre-orders that shows on the progress bar. For example, the max. available is 100%, and if the necessary amount of pre-orders is 10% (the required 3k minimum amount of pre-orders to go in production), it follows that the max. limit is 30k. If that 10% required pre-orders percentage lowers (for instance to 7,5%, it follows the max. amount increased, in this case 100% becomes 40k. In the end the pre-order requirement percentage changed again, but by now I have forgotten the exact percentage. Quote

I didn't pay attention to the dPercentageFunded variable because I assumed that would remain constant after 3,000 pre-orders had been made as there would be no reason for it to change. 16 hours ago, GeoBrick said: If that 10% required pre-orders percentage lowers (for instance to 7,5%, it follows the max. amount increased, in this case 100% becomes 40k. But you are indeed correct, the dPercentageFunded variable did change and the calculations are correct: 0.075 × 40,000 = 3,000 16 hours ago, GeoBrick said: In the end the pre-order requirement percentage changed again, but by now I have forgotten the exact percentage. However, the final value increased to 8.1% / 0.08108108108108109. Quote

It happened as the Transylvania Castle almost reached 50k. I think some Bricklink employee took a couple thousand 'production unit slots' from Tortuga, and reserved them for the castle as a quick hack. Quote

They didn't mention how these figures were achieved. In earlier posts they wrote they were extracted from the HTML code, so maybe they used the same method, but I can't tell. Also, when I check the numbers, 139.814 sets from 1500.000 sets is 93,2% and not 93,3%. But I always was bad at math, so what do I know Quote
