They have no idea what to do It seems they are about to produce a new batch of sets from scratch. I'd expect them to have at least two months lead time, so I can pretty well understand the bump to september 15th to begin with. I think they are just relying on the production dates of the factory, maybe they even automatically change those everytime the factory gives a new date indication.

Toastie Posted July 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Duq said: Like people in America who bought every bottle of hand sanitiser in their county and then sold them on Amazon for a profit. It's called a free market. Sometimes that means competition will get you things cheaper, sometimes you're ripped off. Toilet paper was very high on the list here. And all sorts of pasta. Some actually offered toilet paper with ridiculous prices during the first weeks in this land of confusion. Well Germany that is. At least we don't believe wearing a mask is for softies only - that works remarkably well. Maybe because we are all softies here, who knows. Seems to work though. Also, for me fair "competition" has something positive to it - would replace that with "neoliberal greedy capitalism" in this case. But then: Why sell 3 per customer? Because they are all gifts for others, I know. Reality though shows better though, I guess. Oh well. Reality it is. ALl the best Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best Thorsten Yups, patience... but now I'm a bit jealous of my wife with here summer vacation Lamborghini Sian build ;) Well I don't know, many more I assume, probably the US has a different stock than the EU though. Stange that they limited it to two per person, should have been 1 of course. That was also my idea, buy one now and buy an extra one in autumn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK: If I they would let me choose: 10 Sians now or one crock in September: I'd go with the latter. It's worth the wait. Best Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problems at all; slight color differences in the small pieces but not horrible. No missing parts like other people said. No mistakes in the instructions, everything seems to be right. And most of all; my Sián drives perfectly in any gear without clicking noises or grinding to a halt ??? When I get back home from work I will post a review on LEGO’s website. There were a lot of people complaining about this set; and I think it was awesome. There are not a lot of extra pieces on this box; but everything you need was there.

Carefree_Dude Posted July 2, 2020 I got the set yesterday! Thankfully the Lego store was kind enough to save one for me since I had an hour drive to get there. They had sold out during the drive! Still haven't built it but I hope to today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toastie Posted July 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Wimmer said: but everything you need was there. And that is the most important thing: That you are happy! You know, that post I made was to support @JopieK live through the vacation time, badly waiting for September - and his wife happily building the Sian. Oh, and it was meant as I joke ... I should use more of these: . See I never built the Sian - just hearsay and reading in the Technic forum. Oooops, Merde Royal (the spell blitzdings thing never catches the French ...) - I sound like DJT - joke wise that is. He is joking all the time ... So, I would do the same thing: When you are happy, go to TLGs website and praise the set. I believe sch posts are even more important (as they are in daily life) than all the complaints. And suggestions. I have a good one for the Sian: The Technic pin on page 666, step 666 should be turned by 180°. That makes it so much bettter. Ha! I am the Technic Guru Have fun!
