    Hate the raffle idea. VIP points have an actual monetary value. I should not be forced to gamble with them (essentially throwing them in the trash assuming odds of winning the raffle are low) in order to potentially receive what is apparently meant to be an accessible reward for being a loyal LEGO customer. Lego manufactures this stuff. They simply need to produce enough of any of their giveaways to meet demand. To do otherwise turns the VIP and GWP programs, which are supposed to promote customer satisfaction, into effective ways of alienating customers.

    Amen to TheMainBricker and ShaydDeGrai's excellent suggestion. As per link above, a large number are already up on Ebay and a few have bids well over $200 US but I would not be surprised at all if a good proportion of those buyers back out as more and more sets show up; driving secondary price down.

    Order initially glitched at checkout phase with message along line of "Something went wrong try again." coming up but after waiting a little while the order now shows as "In process" in the "My orders" section of my account. I'll keep an eye on it but expect it to proceed normally from here and hopefully show "In warehouse" sometime later today or tomorrow. You could also try putting in the Ulysses probe code for another order. If the system will no longer accept it, it indicates Lego shows the code as already redeemed which should indicate your order has gone through.

    Managed to redeem Ulysses probe and bundle it with shuttle and double VIP points but as expected from past experience every step in the process was glitchy and stressful. The pandemic plays at least some role but I have to believe by this point in time that a huge business like Lego could and should be doing better with things like this.

    9 am in US and like clockwork Lego VIP offline for maintenance.

    Thank you both for replying. Gearing up to try my luck here in US in about 4 hours; anticipate site glitches here as well.

    Anyone know if the Ulysses probe VIP offer is linked to purchase of Shuttle or can it be used with any Lego purchase like other VIP codes?
  8. Friscorays
    Usually Eastern but with Lego one never really knows.

    In this case, answer is tomorrow, at least in USA. Per email from Lego, Ulysses probe becomes available for 1800 VIP points 4/14/2021 at 9 am. Happens to coincide nicely with double VIP points.

    April 12 through 20, at least in US.

    Supported. 10% there!

    Perhaps a good number of people are like me and willing to wait in order to potentially get the Ulysses probe VIP reward.
  13. Friscorays
    No.

    I'm in no rush to get the set and would like to have the probe even though it could obviously be better. It sure seems counterproductive for Lego sales to announce a promotion for the set only to determine that they can't actually deliver it at the moment. I'm sure I am not the only one that would have purchased a copy or two that is now holding off on the purchase until the GWP is actually available.

    Brick Fanatics has posted that Lego has officially reported a delay in probe availability. I'll hold off on ordering the shuttle until the probe becomes available.
  16. Friscorays
    In US, currently no sign of probe: Rocket Ride and Carrot House show up as GWPs though.

    Did you add in the Ulysses probe? If so, how does the redemption process work?? By the way, Lego Space coin is now available in the VIP rewards section for those that might be interested......

    Whatever version it ends up being, I doubt any public outcry had anything to do with it. Set was likely finalized long before anybody in the public got wind of it. I imagine friends and family of the Columbia and Challenger crews might not mind have minded an additional tribute to their memory; even in toy form.

    I'm partially responsible for that....
