Brick Cucumber Posted May 15, 2019 Picture I took of the Castle Byers I got at the Leicester Square event. They were really lovely and let me take home another one for my Mum when things died down and they knew they ha enough stock. Really nice event. They just haned out free Polybags and Cake at the door and kept bringing out cake for people waiting in line for the signing. Overall a really great experience.

I saw a guy build 4 castle Byers, then come back and build two more. They’ll almost certainly end up on eBay. I made two, because I want to expand one to make it more minifig scale.

I asked a staff member if they had any stickers or pieces spare while I was in line and she said the manager told them not to give out more than one. But it was kinda wierd to see people get so many. One staff member was helping a lady build like 4 of them to take with her. Kinda wish I got another set of those sticker-ed pieces so I could Build an Upside-Down version. to clip on the bottom of the Fort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pchan1983 Posted May 15, 2019 I ordered the mine but it shows as pre-order I guess it’s like the flint stones set that the Australia warehouse didn’t get stock for VIP early access. And it’s back ordered now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was the first time I used the credit card on their website, but I just choose to pay by invoice and it worked. Probably it will take more time, but it will arrive.

I think it's more inline they don't even have it in stock yet. NZ doesn't have physical LEGO store, I wonder if the Sydney or Melbourne one have it in stores. But yes, since the s@h moved to Australia warehouse things are going downhill. The only improvement is reduced shipping time and cost but they use TOLL!!!!! worse shipping company ever =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LostKnight Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I'm signed in, it still won't let me get the set. Does anyone have any advice? Edited May 15, 2019 by LostKnight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makoy Posted May 15, 2019 I am relieved that there is no special parts in Castle Byers... because that will totally defeat the statement by LEGO earlier that they will stop (limit?) exclusive releases. I think many customisers out there can do much better stickers for Castle Byers and using those pictures shared, one can easily make their own Castle Byers. Sweet!

Technically it doesn’t count as a regional exclusive. It’s not a set (doesn’t have a set number) it’s not got any exclusive parts and had no packaging or officially released instructions or regularly produced stickers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted May 15, 2019 even if it had a set number, it still wouldn't count as a regional exlusive: Quote In the following areas we will still be launching products, which will have a certain limitation to availability and production runs: Pilot projects, such as Forma, to check out markets and opportunities without being able to make them widely available. Gift With Purchase campaigns through LEGO Shop at Home and LEGO Brand Retail. Products only sold in certain experiences (for example LEGOLAND, LEGO House & LEGO Brand Retail stores). Special Event Sets (Comic Cons, LEGO Inside Tour). BTW, that is a really "strange" product photo on the lego store set website: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickBob Studpants Posted May 15, 2019 I’ve ordered the set with express shipping despite hating that with a fiery passion (the shipping, not the set ). I hope it’ll be here before the weekend, that’d be ace So, for me it’s now official: between this set, the HP sets, Jurassic World, the FFH sets, Overwatch, the Disney CMF series, the Steamboat Willie set, the entirety of the TLM2 sets (+ the film itself), the SW anniversary sets, the Tantive IV, the Praetorian Guard BP and the Toy Story 4 minifigs, 2019 is now my favourite year in terms of LEGO sets, deservedly taking the crown from 2014 And to think it’s not even over, there’s still two Overwatch sets, the TRoS sets, the Minecraft summer wave, the Disney D2C and the Jurassic Parc D2C that are left to be revealed This year is just insane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lego blew it out of the water in 2019, and we're only 5 months in I also just ordered my copy.
