Good news for folks in UK. At least in my little city in US, there is none available in both Lego stores.

This is awesome! Very detailed work on the roof and the Chinese style structures and fences.

I called a local lego store about the "waiting list" for VIP members after 2 weeks of receiving an email from lego. A lady told me that they had stopped taking people's sign-up. The reason was that they already had piled up requests for 10k sets on the waiting list and total 25k sets on backorders world-wide. And these orders are just for "VIP members", who successfully made the purchase through poor lego website or made it on the "waiting list". There are still "so-called VIP members" like me who are still waiting for further notice. But, as I found multiple eBay sellers having more than 2 sets of new MF for sale, I think the waiting period for the set to be available in lego shops/online will be longer than people can expect. Lego should know this, if they really have 35k sets purchased/backordered (10k sold in the first day and 25k backordered). That means they are making at least $28,000,000 of sale just on this set for now. That is about 0.46% of the 2016 total sale. Lego should make more sets. Or, maybe they will do the same trick, like the return of Taj Mahal set, on in 50th anniversary.
