rm8 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) So mates, may be we have to launch CUUSOO campaign for Boss? Sure we can do 10000, may be TLG understanding the problem will take postive decision before we count 10000... ? Edited August 29, 2013 by rm8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Posted August 29, 2013 I doubt it will be successful, but you will definitely get my vote! Wouldn't it be possible to make some sort of petition and play this via a Lego Ambassador? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea, Petition can be supported by CUUSOO votes! I will do CUUSOO entry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waterkamp Posted August 29, 2013 you will definitely get my votes rm8, but how is this possible legally ? I mean didn't TLG owned the winning sets (ie the 41999) or would you design other frame? either way, you'll still get my vote :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrFrankenstein Posted September 5, 2013 ^ That photo makes me so mad, it is totally unfair to people who can't even get one let alone 26. Collecting 26 sets for scalping is simply sick. I can only feel sorry for these lowly scalpers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meatman Posted September 5, 2013 So mates, may be we have to launch CUUSOO campaign for Boss? Sure we can do 10000, may be TLG understanding the problem will take postive decision before we count 10000... ? To be honest, I think the chances of it getting 10,000 are going to be very difficult. If not for the scalpers, everyone who wants the 41999 set would have one. Submitting a set to Cuusoo that already exists is kind of pointless. Lego is well aware of the situation with the 41999. All they need to do is make the parts available through their website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zux Posted September 5, 2013 All they need to do is make the parts available through their website. Some of them were available for sale, but these were sold out quickly. However you can still buy the rims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinusZwei Posted September 5, 2013 Some of them were available for sale, but these were sold out quickly. However you can still buy the rims. I tried that and got the answer that they cannot be sold, as they are licensed parts. Even if they are mentioned on the service.lego.com website, you won't be able to buy them.

Meatman Posted September 5, 2013 Some of them were available for sale, but these were sold out quickly. However you can still buy the rims. From what I have heard from a member on here was that only the Blue 5 x 11 panels were available. I don't know why Lego is making a big deal out of the blue and silver parts. They say they are licensed. Licensed by who??? Lego? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter_m Posted September 5, 2013 Maybe the color is licensed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meatman Posted September 5, 2013 Maybe the color is licensed? Licensed by who? It looks like the same dark blue color that is in other sets. There is no outside car company attached to this, so I don't see what the big deal is. They did the same thing with the Unimog saying that the orange parts were not allowed to be purchased because they were licensed by Mercedes. That I can almost understand since Mercedes was involved. The licensed orange coloed parts was the same orange that Lego had always used. Lego already screwed up the purchasing procedures for the 41999 by letting scalpers buy up over 1/2 of the inventory, so the least they can do is make available the parts so that anyone that has a crawler can change it if they want.

I have to agree here. LEGO had some serious missteps through this whole process. The parts should be available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KMO Posted September 11, 2013 My 41999 is missing it's winch rope. My first attempt to get a replacement was fobbed off with a "we don't always hold stock for old sets, try Bricklink" standard response. Before I proceed with another grumble to Lego and check out Bricklink, was the 41999 rope actually a standard part that I could get an accurate substitute for from another set? Or was it unique to this set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel1980 Posted September 11, 2013 Its a standard lego rope. Nothing special Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter_m Posted September 11, 2013 Some guys claimed that it is slightly thicker than the standard rope. But I can't confirm that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Posted September 11, 2013 Some guys claimed that it is slightly thicker than the standard rope. But I can't confirm that. I've heard that as well. As far as I know, it's different than the standard rope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cwetqo Posted September 11, 2013 Its the same rope as in 42009, thicker than normal lego rope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel1980 Posted September 11, 2013 Well its also in the 42009 then you can at least order it through lego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KMO Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks for the info - it does look the same as the 42009 in pictures, which would make sense. This TechnicBRICKs review agrees: Here LEGO used the same new string type as used on the 42009 Mobile Crane MK II, which is one of a thicker type and made of a different type of fibers. To avoid the string shredding,a common trick is used and it is supplied with burnt tips. LEGO's replacement part website shows the 42009 string as currently out of stock, but that's better than for the 41999, where it didn't exist. Maybe the fact that it wasn't in the system prompted the "we can't help for old parts from old sets" auto-response - I've referenced the 42009 part in my request this time... I think this is actually the first time I've ever had a totally missing part - bit unfortunate for it to happen in a limited-edition set. (Although I have had a few faulty ones).

Waterkamp Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) This guy apparently has almost 200: http://statigr.am/p/...52132_209788365 woow, either that he is working at a lego store and he just post a pic of the warehouse or he really shell out $200 x 200 sets = $40,000 for a lego!! I can't believe it if its the latter. rich dude. Edited September 12, 2013 by Waterkamp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
