DLuders Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 @ I_Got_The_Last_Set: There is no "special" version of the Lego Unimog 8110 set, other than the standard licensed version that EVERYBODY can buy from Shop.Lego.com, Toy-R-Us, Mercedes-Benz dealers, etc. worldwide. The large sets are already very expensive to produce. Mercedes-Benz employees can buy the same set as everybody else. Quote
Cwetqo Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I just had my mercedes serviced at the local dealership and I also asked when they will get 8100. Unfortunately they didn't even know that such a model exists. :( Quote

Unfortunately they didn't even know that such a model exists. :( That's not a big deal. If you worked in the bustling maintenance dept. of a busy dealership, you probably wouldn't know much about a set of toys being ordered for the dealer shop (Darn that overpriced MB merchandise!). However, thanks for asking the dealership and contributing to this forum! PS: Don't you mean 8110? Edited July 19, 2011 by frontier74 Quote
Cwetqo Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I meant 8110 of course. And I was not joking. I really was at Mercedes dealership and after seeing all merchandise which they got there, I really asked about new Unimog. Quote
Sokratesz Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I could've told you in advance that a mercedes dealer would probably know little about what specific toy types his company has licenses with - Sok. Quote
DLuders Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 On the German Mercedes-Benz website, the Lego 8110 Unimog U400 set is not yet listed among the other Unimog models (2 pages worth). Maybe the Lego model will be added after the set is re-released in Germany (with the improved compressor pump).... Quote
fmix Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I'm happy to see that the release date for the set is still August 1st. In Japan, release date of 8110 was postponed until September 8th ! No announcement about the cause as usual . How about your countries ? Quote

I'm pretty sure it's postponed in Ireland too,has anyone been onto Lego about this? It's very frustrating as were months waiting already Quote
Jetro Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 It's very frustrating as were months waiting already You're waiting months already because you saw early pics and there's been a lot of discussion,but the usual release date for H2 sets is August, sometimes half way, and that is usually before what is officially announced (September). The reason why the set has not been released earlier yet has been publicly announced by LEGO. What else do you want? Quote
tripletschiee Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 ... What else do you want? He is just terribly impatient! But that is understandable! Quote
frontier74 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) The promotional movie for the 8110 has been posted at technic.lego.com under the movies tab. It was also posted at Technicbricks. I feel that the video does not properly portray the features of the 8110, especially after seeing the video for the Extreme Cruiser. This means that the official release is coming soon! Still no listing for the Unimog on the products page, however... Edited July 22, 2011 by frontier74 Quote

Nazgarot Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 That movie says the Unimog is "now available." What a cruel lie! LOL Quote
efferman Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Does anyone know why the technic challenge sticker is in the video? Quote
Zerobricks Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Not that i know of... The mog is one of the prizes though! Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Maybe the "Challenge" logo is in the movie because of the fact that it is quite a challenge for TLG to get the set in stores on time? Quote
frontier74 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) I'll agree! I just stopped by at my local store (US) and they had no idea there was a Unimog. August 1st doesn't seem likely if they haven't at least notified the stores that these sets are coming! Edited July 22, 2011 by frontier74 Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Had a little conversation with my webshop today. They knew about the troubles with the pneumatic part but they assured me that the set was going to be available on july 30... So lets keep our fingers crossed! (I've been waiting so long....)

I'm sure too that Lego will get the 'Mog' in stores on time and celebrate another product in the line of amazing and ever-evolving products. Long live the Danish!

davidmull Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Promotion video could have been better but still nice to see Quote

I was at the LEGO Store in Oberhausen yesterday, look what was on display: They wouldn't sell it to me though :( And since walking out of any LEGO store without any LEGO is blasphemy, I picked up a nice Emerald Night set for me to display (I don't even have any tracks, lol).
