On the other hand, it gives you an extra 5-10 pieces to play with for more detail. Yeah you got a good eye though as that was actually a lesser noticed part change than when they switched from 'classic smiley face' heads to the current and adding random 1-stud 'jumper plates' to the sidewalks.

To be honest, I'm not at all surprised that it's retiring soon since it's already 4 years old. In fact, I thought it'd retire before the diner... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardGoring Posted January 1, 2021 Sigh. Lego.com isn't working to take orders. Getting an unexpected error message when trying to add the police station to the cart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here. I was actually able to get things in my bag but once I tried to checkout it all fell apart. Now I can't even add to my bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lego Conductor Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Multiple tries but finally succeeded in ordering Police Modular. Real pain was crashing on entering the VIP discount codes. Will feel better when confirmation email arrives. Updated: Email confirmation arrived, this IS a good new years :-) Edited January 1, 2021 by Lego Conductor Update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFOLguy1970 Posted January 1, 2021 40 minutes now attempting to buy the Police Station. Hope my kid is ready to get up early tomorrow and drive an hour to the Lego Store and get in line with everyone else who cant buy what they want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About 1 in 15 tries, I get in in the cart. When I go to pay, then I get an error message, and the cart is emptied.

Terrasher Posted January 1, 2021 Good grief, after almost two hours of trying, my order finally went through (?). It now shows up as "In Process" on the website. It's been years since my last set purchase from S@H, since I prefer to go to my local LEGO Stores, but due to a local lockdown, I thought I'd give the website a try after so long. My, oh my, what a mess. It was fun crashing the website after about an hour, though. It felt like a collective effort coming to fruition. Happy new year, folks!

Lfm55 Posted January 1, 2021 Site Worked like a charm When i ordered this night. Everything was completed within a minute and bookshop ordered ( yes i am a little late). Glad i did this last night instead of this morning as people seem struggling with the web site. not to mention the Hangover! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TypoCorrecto Posted January 1, 2021 What a cluster****... Tried placing an order at 11pm CST and madness ensued so I went to sleep. I just woke up and was able to get the police station and Tuk Tuk. Hopefully the vintage car doesn't get cancelled on me... Gaming consoles, Funko, LEGO...they never have their s*** together on major releases... Back to sleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardGoring Posted January 1, 2021 I gave up after a few minutes and went to bed - children are too small to stay up too late, and certainly won't sleep late in the morning - but it worked fine just now. So had everything in my cart from last night's attempts to check out. Police station, bricks and pieces, and car GWP. Hurrah! Looking on Reddit/Lego and here, I'm glad I didn't wait up for a couple of hours! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Jersey Brick Guy Posted January 1, 2021 The Harry Potter stuff is all back ordered now. I’ll have to add that to my shopping list today at my local LEGO store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vilhelm22 Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) This may seem like a stupid question, but if I backorder do I still get the promo? Edited January 1, 2021 by Vilhelm22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the GWP is in your cart when you check out, then yes. They usually do give you the GWP on Backorder items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my order with a backordered item, LEGO cancelled my mindstorm GWP when they ran out of stock. So if the backorder takes too long (or forever like the gingerbread house), then you may not get the GWP. Edited January 1, 2021 by badbob001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick387 Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) This photo from the official Police Station description on S@H, suggests that the Diner has indeed been retired, as it is not pictured alongside the other recent Modulars. So it also looks like Assembly Square may be sticking around for another year. Edited January 1, 2021 by Brick387 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
