SSJ2 Dark Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 For anyone else like me who missed the initial offering, a LEGO rep told me by email that Exo Suit will be back in stock around August 24th. Quote
Fritzy Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 For anyone else like me who missed the initial offering, a LEGO rep told me by email that Exo Suit will be back in stock around August 24th. I hope so. Thanks for relaying this. Quote
Cinderbike Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Got mine on Saturday (3 days early!) and put it together that afternoon. A truly awesome work, great job Peter and Mark. I plan on doing the 3L bar trick as well, and possibly reworking the canopy, as those pieces seem prone to falling off - no way would this set survive playability with a young child. I love it, anyway. And you just know this had to happen: Edited August 11, 2014 by Cinderbike Quote
Colossus Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Woooohooo! Looks like Cinderbike got the band back together! So glad to see these sets side by side. I can't wait til my exo arrives! Thanks for posting the pic Quote
TheLegGodt Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 For anyone else like me who missed the initial offering, a LEGO rep told me by email that Exo Suit will be back in stock around August 24th. I seriously doubt it going by their website. Why not then say temporarily out of stock like they do other times (e.g. Delorean). No, sold out in my experience really means sold out. But here's hoping I am proven wrong! Quote
KringlesBricks Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) ...Decided to go check out the PaB wall at my local Lego store for something to do since I had the day off. Well, while stacking my big cup of green 1x2 slopes (which I was shocked they had on the wall) I happened to spot the Exo Suit on the shelf right next to the PaB wall. I decided to leave my cup for a few quick seconds...ran over to pick it up and went back to my cup. While packing my cup some more, a customer had to put back one of the Research Institute. I was like bam!! Scored the Exo Suit and Research Institute! The lady who does the wall mentioned they just got an EXTRA shipment of Exo Suits this morning - there were only five left on the shelf...perfect timing!

blarghiflargh Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Built one of my two on sunday, might some minor mods. Love this set. https://www.flickr.c...04/14881140986/ Quote

No, sold out in my experience really means sold out. But here's hoping I am proven wrong! The U.S. Site does say "Temporarily out of stock." I'm expecting another chance for one. Quote
TheLegGodt Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) The U.S. Site does say "Temporarily out of stock." I'm expecting another chance for one. Ah that's a different story. So it changed from sold out to temporarily out of stock? Personally I've never known that to happen before, sounds very promising. In Holland by the way it still says sold out...

DPrime Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 It's temporarily out of stock in Canada, too. Wonder if it's a regional thing... Quote
SSJ2 Dark Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Received an email that Amazon (Prime) had it available for purchase and shipping in a few days, but it was sold out again within a few hours. That's surprising... Quote
fred67 Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 There was an Ideas blog post about the sets having another run... Quote
m0dulo Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) To make a long story short, a store employee told me today that they are getting more ExoSuits and Research Institutes but they don't know when. Edited August 15, 2014 by m0dulo Quote
Chills Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Just checked S@H and it's available in the US! Looks like I'm getting mine. Quote
KringlesBricks Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Mine wen from "Backordered" to "In-Process" Woot! Looks like my 2nd one is coming soon. Keeping one boxed and building the second one. Happy Kamper again Quote
danth Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I wasn't planning on modding mine but it was impossible to resist. Quote
m0dulo Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Nice, danth! I like how you handled the shoulders/clavicles. Quote
danth Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Thanks m0dulo! I tried to fix the little bits there that were falling apart, but then I realized they didn't look that cool anyway, IMO, so I replaced them with shielding. Quote
DPrime Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 The addition of the dish looks great! Very Classic Space. :) Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I agree...rhe big dish is just fitting the set perfectly. LEGO should do that... Nice addition! Quote
danth Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks guys! I thought the dish might be controversial, but people seem to like it. The dish on the shoulder idea was inspired by this Gall Force mech which I really love: Quote

Happy Kamper again I received a ship notification today...It's too bad so many people were too impatient to wait and bought overpriced sets. Quote
Colossus Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I finished what little was left of my set last night, and I gotta say, it was fascinating to see how so many tiny bricks went together to assemble the exo-suit. Also, j happened to be watching Pacific Rim at the time, so that added to the experience. But lately, I've been on this steampunk kick, and I think this thing is perfect for a steampunk mod.

VintageLegoEra Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Got mine yesterday along with Lab Institute. Will try building it todat Quote
