Me too but it still doesn't show up in my orders ?

Converted in USD, the Australian prices are very expensive, but if you translate to EUR it's almost the same amount ?

I ordered a few minutes before midnight without the GWP but it's now available since midnight. I'll keep an eye on the shop how long DA will be available over here ?

You guys make me so happy cause it's great to know that I'm not the only one who is ridiculously impatient with such things like Lego sets ? Just as a little side note, after the first hours of being on sale in several countries, DA is already sold out in South Korea but still available in Australia and New Zealand.

Where did you find a girlfriend who also likes Lego? I'm asking for a friend ? I'm pretty excited for today - for the reveal and for the sales launch. I really hope that TLG's fickle website can handle the onrushes ?

You forgot that Harry doesn't need the space to display a huge Diagon Alley and other Lego sets ?

I would've wished some more colors as well. Some other decent ones like dark tan, dark blue, dark green, olive green would've been an even greater addition. Maybe they come in more colors in the future. But I don't want to put my hopes up too much as I hoped the same thing for the 2x2x1 boxes. But the color selection for those is still lame af ??

Ok...the last thing that confused me as much as TLG's announcement from today were my exams ?? 12pm on August 31 would be a bit of a pain as a release date as I'll be at work at this point where the mobile reception isn't that stable (If you want to enjoy some abstinence from your smartphone, you definitely have to pay Germany a visit). Pressing the order button at midnight would be much more comfortable.

I do as well - I asked myself for five months or so how the box art could look like as I've already expected a set that is wider than anything else which could be difficult to catch on a regular Lego box. And the solution they came up with is totally appropriate and fine for me. I've decided to save ready cash I'd have spent for gas to come to my nearest store and to order it online and grant myself express shipping instead ?

That's what I kinda assume as well - otherwise the shelves would be empty even before the store opens in the morning - wouldn't be the greatest thing for a company S@H might indeed be the safer way in the first instance. If they are sold out one minute after midnight (given that the set goes up at midnight and not somewhen in the morning) I can still visit my closest store. Thank you guys ?

Do you have general experiences with asking a store to put a set back for you? I've done that once with three sets in total and it worked. But: The employee on the phone told me point-blank that if someone asks for even one of the sets explicitly, they'd give it away because they don't want to send customers away while they theoretically still have some stock. So I'm still conflicted on about how I'll (try to) get the DA set ??

Happy Birthday! ?? Well, Lego related birthday gifts are usually somehow different - but they wouldn't dare to disappoint a true Lego-Freak, would they? ?? That's nice, have you ever thought about a career as a singer-songwriter? ? Yeah, and it will be so colorful ?

Absolutely relatable now why it took TLG so long to reveal them ?

You mean...microscale DUPLO? ?

We already had a discussion about this some months ago and I can barely remember that there were a lot of people who weren't a fan of this idea. I personally couldn't agree more to what you say! It might indeed be a question of how long this theme is supposed to last. I'd consider it more realistic that we'll get a Hogsmeade D2C first (not to forget the UCS Dobby's Sock! ?) But dependent on how many remaining years we will be fed with more HP sets, it's not completely impossible that we'll get at least one part of the castle as a very detailed minifig scale D2C set ?

There is nothing to add ?

I'd personally say three days in advance, but that's more kind of a feeling than something based on actual facts ☺

Yes, there is the City D2C that drops in September...I really hope that the September release is still happening. They already set up the product pages for s@h, are there any related cases we can say from how long they do this in advance before the reveal/release? Wouldn't that have happened way too early for an October release? I mean, for the SW D2C there hasn't appeared a listing yet.

They must have removed the function of more than one coupon working because when I tried to order, the second code always replaced the first one ?

That sounds somehow illegal ?? With this enormous piece count, the set won't way little...the guys from the pickup shop are gonna hate me ?

I need to rent a new apartment That's right!

Is that what you dream of at night? ? I wouldn't insist too much on this phrase(s). Those texts are optimized in terms of keyword usage so they might use phrases that don't fit accurately to the product. Nevertheless, I'll be happy for every new creature too!

Why not...both? #workworkwork ?

Have fun ?

As long as it counts as still in DA, the Leaky Cauldron does :)
