  1. It has an exclusieve serial number. Anyone know how many are going to be produced? Want to get but would rather wait a bit... but don’t want to miss out

    [PRESS RELEASE] 10260 - Downtown Diner

    I Love it. Have all the other modulars as well and no worries it won’t fit in. Just takes a bit of imagination. I also have NINJAGO City in my street layout. So glad TLG is innovating with this line rather than just re-releasing an existing one like green grocer. That would have been my horror scenario. Winter Village toy shop all over again. Given the recent release of NINJAGO city and the late announcement of this new modular set I was seriously considering a re-release was on the cards...
  3. Funny. No mail from LEGO saying my order has dispatched. And yet, it has been and according to track and trace on their website it will be delivered today!
  4. Mine has gone from backorderd to in warehouse. Finally! I ordered it 1 hour after Vip ordering was open.
  5. I had this out with The LEGO shop call center before when ordering the POC Ship. It that arrived during a double VIP PROMOTION after being on backorder first. They said they don’t grant double points on backorders. So I told them I will send this one back and order a new one to get double points. They very obligingly helped and processed the return and new order. Utter madness!
  6. Good for you! I have 200 euros worth of points now, keeping it for next year’s modular
  7. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t always buy any LEGO set at the LEGO Store using VIP. Especially if you are nerdy enough to visit this kind of forum. (Or are you simply a recent AFOL?)
  8. This opening statement in the official description of the MF gives me the same impresssion: Welcome to the largest, most detailed LEGO® Star Wars Millennium Falcon model we’ve ever created—in fact, with 7,500 pieces it’s one of our biggest LEGO models, period! What do they know that we don’t if they are already calling it only one of their biggest?
  9. If bakcorder shipping does not start by end of September then what does that say for the official release date on the 1st of October? That either gets postponed or they start selling new sets to new customers while they still have customers waiting. That would be bad business practice. I suspect all backorders will be sent by the end of the month.
  10. Does anyone have accurate info about production numbers? I.e. is this something you will live to regret if not purchased day one? Find it hard to form an opinion whether this will be very limited numbers or mass produced / sold way into 2022...
  11. So I kinda felt the same way and solved it by selling my 10179 for 850 euros last night. An emotional moment and sad in some respects since the 10179 is and will remain a true milestone in LEGO from a historic point of view. But I am not in it for history. I am in it for the sure fun of building and displaying (showing-off even haha) awesome sets and I also wanted to be part of this and get to build it. I think the new Falcon overall looks better (the canopy excluded) and I look forward to opening that huge box and building for months on the MF (short for Mutha^&*$(# perhaps?). And owning and displaying two of these near identical monsters was not within my cognitive abilities of justification.

    In The Netherlands S@H. Mine has just arrived. Box in perfect condition.

    It's back in stock. Mine has just been posted.

    I bought GB HQ in the store and the box was fine. Perhaps the other store was unlucky? (Or I was lucky!) Just noticed that the estimated shipping date for DC is before 26 September. That is almost present day, and still they call it Backordered. Can't remember seeing this before with a set.

    I alvays recieve sets from S@H in mint condition. No damage to the box. Very surprised this is already on back order, it's only just been released. Generally when something is on back order it really is questionable whether you will get it. Otherwise it would just state 'temporarily out of stock'. However, I am somewhat comforted that they state it will ship by the 3rd of October. Should I be concerned and rush to the closest Lego store or relax and wait?
  16. I was one of the biggest complainers last year and I think it is only appropriate to voice absolute appreciation to TLG for releasing a proper new Winter Village set this year. I hope others do so too, feedback is good and after the negative we should voice the postive! A different point: the designer mentions a reference to his favorite sci-if series when he discusses the spaceship toy. Any ideas which one that is? I thought first maybe Blake's 7 but I don't think so any more. But it's certainly not Buck Rogers or Star Trek and it is too yellow for Red Dwarf...

    21128 The Village - LEGO Minecraft

    You know the more I look at this set the more I am starting to see the humour of it. As a Mindcraft set, it is actually pretty nice and good. I try to pick up at least one set of every theme. So I think this may be it - I shall enjoy building a relatively simple yet cohesive set together with my 2 daughters who really love the computer game. Now please TLG listen: I accept this as a an interesting - maybe even bold - product. But please make the next D2C set really awesome so we can forget about the other two 'failiures': Hoth and Batcave. This Mindcraft set would probably have been received bettter if those two had been any good. And don't forget us avid Winter Village collectors and enthousiasts either come autumn this year!

    21128 The Village - LEGO Minecraft

    Fully agree. Very disappointing LEGO year this year so far. It started off great with the Bank and HQ but it looks we will have to wait till the summer before anything comes out worthy of my money. And I have plenty to spend but not on this recent bunch of god-awful D2C's... I guess the Minecraft fans must be happy though. And I personally have high hopes for the special Technic sets this year...

    I think that honour belongs to the Death Star 10188...

    Out of the Dark Ages, into the LEGO! (Hello)

    You are lucky your dark ages did not last long. Mine lasted about 25 years! Have fun with all your LEGO plans!!

    Lego S@H question

    I have never had problems with S@H. Certainly this case is no cause for alarm, seems pretty normal to me,

    Review: 10251 Brick Bank

    I appreciate the effort the reviewer has made but I think the intended humour is too forceful and the tone rather arrogant and belittleling to the readers. The set itself loooks good. Certainly not the best but a nice and interesting addition all the same.

    75098 Assault on Hoth

    I agree with some of the earlier posters that I will be saving my usual LEGO budget on not having to buy this set or the UCS Batman sets. Compensates for the whopping Ghostbusters HQ bill at the start of this year I guess. Still, this combined with the lack of needing to (re) buy the WV Toy Shop end of last year means my expenditure on LEGO has gone down lately. Also, there are no awesome new lines yet that are tempting me like there were last year (e.g. Elves and Scooby). All in all feeling sad there are less compelling reasons to spend money on LEGO lately... But I suspect the recently announced Technic sets including the Porsche will redeem that.

    PAB on the out?

    I just placed an order at S&H for pick-a-brick items. I was surprised how limited the choice was compared to a year ago. In particular the colours were strange: some bricks and plates in azur blue for example were available but no standard green or brown. A couple of months ago I also wanted to place an order and found the same limited supply. Does anyone know what's up with PAB? Is this usual or is it maybe on the out? Apologies if already discussed elsewhere...

    honey who shrunk the modulars?

    What an original idea!
