So overall, (at that point in time) an additional 30000 sets became available, therefore taking the overall limit from 150000 to 180000 Quote

I also read that the production capacity was shifted from one set to the other when it became apperent that not all sets would reach the 30.000 limit. So how knows if there ever was a limit of 180.000? I also read in the comments that in fact Lego has the right to produce more sets than announced and some of these sets were sold at the inside Tour and Fan Tour. Since Lego acts like a secret service, we will never know for sure how many sets will get produced Kirk wrote in the comments: Quote [from the BDP Terms:] „…. the LEGO Group reserves the right to produce a small percentage of extra copies of each BDPS set, beyond the limited production target number. In the event that any BDPS sets that were produced remain unsold and unshipped at the close of any BDPS Series, for whatever reason, the LEGO Group will retain possession of the unsold sets for its own use.“ and Quote „If you are located in Europe, any excess BDP sets are sold exclusively through LEGO House in Billund, DK, during Inside Tours and fan tours. “ Edited July 14 by Yperio_Bricks typo Quote

[...] Since Lego acts like a secret service, we will never know for sure how many sets will get produced You are 100% correct! And apparently this is to prevent scalpers from determining how much stock remains and buying up as many sets as possible... to later sell at greatly exaggerated prices... Quote
BrickPerfection Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Thanks for quoting the estimated sale number from stonewars, Yperio! Much appreachiated! I quite like the new system of flexible limits, especially given that sale starts at 3am here in Australia! I really enjoy the thought of not having to get up in the middle of the night to secure a high-demand BDP set The sales for Thieves of Tortuga are pretty solid as well, which gives me hope (I got one as well!)

LegoDW Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Hopefully the Pirate them continues to have a strong demand. Typically if TLG will sell it, I will buy it. Quote
LegoDW Posted September 6 Posted September 6 Ok I'll admit it. It is taking forever and a day for October to roll around. Quote
