I received an order placed on Feb 22nd today. So roughly one month later and the other order I placed a day later (feb 23) also dispatched the same day so should be here on Tuesday. So I guess here in Europe everything is going as it should.

LEGO has a new policy for retailers which has them wait 2 months after release to get some themes (the ones mentioned in the Promobricks article for example this release wave). Most retailers in Europe give pre-order discount to make sure people buy at their shop instead of LEGO or the 1 other retailer that gets exclusive early sales privileges. I get why they're doing this, but on the long term it will probably be a bad thing. LEGO also doesn't allow retailers to get the specials (which is a issue that has been going on longer), but that is just 1 high prices set that people probably buy at LEGO anyway for the free GWP or VIP points. But keeping whole waves of releases from desirable themes for themselves in the first 2 months is just greedy. You either buy it for the full price or you'll have to wait 2 months.

They had them all (Lion Knight torso and legs, Queen torso and legs) up this morning at around 9:00 with a max of 35 for each individual part.

For what it's worth: BrickClicker has a double D2C leak information drop in about 20 minutes. Don't know if it's DC or not, but since there is a Batcave coming and other Flash related merchandise were revealed today it is a possibilty

Kinda funny how I went to Brickset for the official set images article after I saw they were on S@H, only to find out there is no article nor social media post from Lego about this. Well at least it's confirmed the 3 sets are coming.

I didn't want to comment, but I just can't stand it anymore.. First of all, everything you post in this topic is filled with negativity. I don't mind if people complain once, but every time you post it's about the same 'problems' you have with LEGO and their services.. If you feel this way then good for you, but why post about it multiple times? Second, they indeed do reserve the amount on your creditcard when you place an order, but charge you the moment it ships. It adds nothing to the topic (just like this post..). Either way, to stay on topic, I was surprised I received my Bestseller within 6 days after ordering with tracking and everything. Still waiting on those Lion Knight torso's to come available..

The set is 36/37cm (14.1-14.6inch) deep when you place the building against the wall (so that the gazebo part sticks out). I read somewhere else that they measured the 20inch/50cm while placing Elronds Council build in front of the Rivendell build. I haven't measured that, but I don't know how they even came up with the depth dimension.

Awesome, thanks. Could finally order some bardings. Too bad the Lion Knights torso’s weren’t in stock.

From me, but I had it mixed up with another set that is coming for Disney so disregard my comment.

nevermind. Edited because of my mistake.

Pic of the cmf bag has leaked on insta.

Tbh, some sets on the confidential pictures looked more done than others (Deku Tree, Disney sets and Batman vs Barad Dur and X mansion) so I would expect the better looking ones further in the progress of getting released.

It looks great, but on the Lego page it says 50cm deep. However, when I count the studs I get to 40-50 studs max (including the angle) which is 32-40cm. On all the lifestyle pictures it doesn't look like 50cm so I was wondering what other people think/see regarding the depth?

It looks great, but it looks like a somewhat extended art set. Doesn't really matter though if we get animated series figures.

That diorama looks great. Instant purchase for me.
