Perhaps we should have a Porsche topic index topic ;-)

Thanks Jim. Awesome review! After reading it through a couple of times I have changed my mind several times on whether to rush to Cardiff to get it tomorrow or not, but I think overal it is ace, and I will. It is disappointing some of the features haven't been integrated for the price and the mistake in the instructions is not acceptable, the stalling is well meh, but it is Lego/ABS plastic at the end of the day! At the end of the day I'll enjoy (and look forward to) the build and seeing how it all works and then the crash tester will well...... Crash test it and it will be sent to the repair shop and some modifications once the clever ones of you have Sussed it out. Yes it's probably 70 euro too much, and it will probably be 50 euro cheaper after Christmas, but I want it and can't wait to build it so I better get up early if I'm to get it built by this time tomorrow?

Well about 6pm the Lego shop said they were putting it out on the shelves tonight.... So much be last minute if they are withdrawing or the news not got through!!

Do it!! Is Sariel reviewing too?

Lego shop in Stratford/Westfield today said it was limited, I queried this and he then said with a smile that's what we're being told to say!!

I was thinking that discussion would be started before we know it!! But I guess it will be September before we get any news and we'll all be building our BWE until then anyway!!

When I spoke to the Leho shop in Cardiff last week they said they have them on the system as due Mid August

The chap in the shop said no definite date but more like mid August/September

I'm going to get all 4 2H sets as soon as humanly possible!

I phoned my local(!) Offical Lego store today to see if they have stock, which they do, and apparently tons of them when I questioned how early I needed to get there! )Booking my train ticket now :-) No dates for other 2H sets yet though :-(

Going to be painful on the bank account I feel.... And probably ear ache from the boss! 42046 Porsche Then mid month 10253 Big Ben Then Thankfully I guess a few weeks breathing space before 42053 Volvo, 42054 Class and 45055 BWE I'll probably pick up 21305 while I'm at S@H Thankfully I've quite a stash of VIP points to help soften the blow, thinking about it the BWE could wait for next double points as Ive plenty to build I see there is some good deals on the trains on Amazon at present so might do some Christmas purchase (for the boy of course ;-) )

Looks like the VIP early access is for the minecraft village :-(

isn't there supposed to be a VIP early pre order type thing on the 17th may, could it be this?

*we're on Amazon until about lunchtime but now they've magically disappeared

I see all 2H technic sets have disappeared off amazon sometime this afternoon !

this set is now listed on Amazon uk! (Alas not in stock yet.....)

Thanks to grum64 for the heads up but the following 2H sets are on Amazon uk but not in stock 42053 Volvo EW160E 42054 Claas Xerion 5000 42055 BWE 43056 Porsche the Porsche is also on uk S@H saying available 1st June

Probably not an easy question to answer, it depends how TLG control/release the stock and where you live. I'm in the UK, for the 1H technic sets they we first available on Amazon DE, then S@H then Amazon UK and other retailers. I'm guessing as this is a biggy it might be S@H only initially but someone else may have some inside knowledge!

2 months surely:-(

So after this year do we really think next year they can top what they've done this year? It would be amazing if they did but big set wise I think the will struggle to top the BWE, do it has to be launching something new, a remake/bring back or maybe a collection of sets? There is huge potential let's hope the don't let us down! Are we actually sure they are going to mark it in anyway?

When do the 2H sets usually start appearing?

Happy Birthday, may it bring many Lego sets to your desk!

My local TRU was devoid of anything useful. until the end of January- just the older/less popular sets filling the shelves

Well of course I aim to vote within a week :-) But was just worried we had until Fruday or something as I need to look on a proper PC not just my phone !!

not sure how I missed the green text must get me eyes fixed
