Eigenbroetler Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Do we know if it will be available worldwide or just specific countries? Quote

This is one of the most interesting pieces of info for me, but where is the licence plate? I can't seem to spot it on the preview image, unless it is hidden behind the bull bar or had not been added at that point.

My UCS Millennium Falcon is numbered. The first 1000 orders got a number and certificate. Quote

It is really nice to bring this "numbering feature" also to technic and for the first time on a model designed in cooperation with fans. Quote
rumpletump Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I wonder if the top 100 will get the first 100 sets made? Or just a random set picked from the 20000... Quote
Hopey Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 So how do I buy one? I'm in Australia, so should I be monitoring the Australian lego site, or the Danish one, or what? Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I think you should go on the us website instead of Australia because it tends to more expensive there. For example on the au site the 42000 is about 140 and on the us website it is about 130, if i remember correctly. Quote

Hopey Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I don't expect it to be particularly cheap regardless, I'm more concerned about availability. Will a certain quantity of the 20,000 be allocated to each market (and hence each website)? Or are orders from all the global websites going to be fulfilled from Billund? I imagine that they're going to sell out pretty quickly once they're available. I stupidly didn't enter the contest, so missed out on a chance at getting a free one, and I don't want to miss out on buying one just because I live in the colonies... Quote
rumpletump Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) You won't pay customs fees to import goods into Australia if the value of goods is less than $900.. But I am not sure if the US lego online shop would allow postage to Australia as we have our own lego online shop. Currently 42000 is rrp $159 on lego online Australia and $35 postage. I imagine all lego online stores will be allocated some of the 41999 sets so everyone has a chance to buy one, otherwise you might have to hope some appear on ebay or bricklink later or get a friend overseas to order one for you Edited April 10, 2013 by rumpletump Quote
OzBen Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Aussies are only able to buy from the Aus S@H site. free shipping until August 31st will offset our inflated $AU pricing Edit - Just emailed S@H a bunch of questions about pricing and availability for us Aussies, I will post any decent responses.

SNIPE Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Yellow and Black is my fav colour, this is my favourite out of the technic challenge models Nice work EDIT I did not know that the dark blue version was the same model I like dark blue even better and hope TLG sell it as a limited edition set so I can buy it.

Edwin Korstanje Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Finaly i got mine mail today from TLG and get olso one Boss Crawler . I hope that Jaap Technic got his mail too!!?? Quote
DLuders Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 @ VFracingteam: Would you be willing to send a Eurobricks Private Message (PM) to jaaptechnic, with the (secret) e-mail address for The Lego Group's point of contact for claiming "The Boss" prize? Jaaptechnic could PROVE to The Lego Group that he is eligible for a prize, by referencing the specific MOC that he entered in the contest.... Quote

Alasdair Ryan Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I notified Conchas yesterday about some people not getting any mail from the Lego group,so I am glad to see my indivers have started to pay off. Hopefully it wont be too long before the Lego group get in touch with Jaaptechnic. Quote
DLuders Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 @ jaaptechnic: Even though the contest was a success (in that it prompted some EXCELLENT entries from AFOLs), I personally thought that the ADMINISTRATION of the contest was poor. There was no active disqualification of entries that were not based on the 9398 4x4 Crawler chassis, so the contest's Gallery was full of unnecessary clutter. I recommend being aggressive in claiming your prize, because (it seems) that The Lego Group has (undeservedly) forgotten about you. It will be several months before "The Boss" set is shipped, but it would be best to resolve the matter now. Quote

DLuders Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 @ jaaptechnic: Conchas is a regular reader of this Eurobricks topic, but you could send him a Eurobricks Private Message (PM) anyway. He's a LEGO Ambassador, so he has "contacts" with The Lego Group.... Quote
hrontos Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 @VFracingteam: congratulations, I am glad it was finally resolved. Did you get some kind of additional explanation? @Jaaptechnic: Official email stated to be replied till 3rd of May, so there still some time for a little wait. Especially after Conchas mentioned that it will be resolved/explained soon. Quote
