    When listed as backordered you can place an order with the expectation it will ship on or before the specified date. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be back listed 'in stock' on that date. That will depend on how Lego allocates their inventory, ie: sells as many backorders as sets they plan to produce in the short term. For instance, if they produce 100 sets (simplified) to be ready by the 25th do they sell 100 backorders or do they allocate 50 backorders and 50 to be in stock on the 25th? I don't know the answer to that but I suspect it's the former.

    Lego Store [somewhat] near me had some sleigh inventory so managed to get one. It'll be interesting to see if it comes back in stock before December.

    Dang I had a lot going on today and spaced on the sleigh. Oh well. Hopefully I can grab it at some point.

    Recently the train station came with a vintage bus and the fire station came with an antique-styled firetruck. Other sets included a horse drawn wagon, mail truck, and a snowplow truck but they're from before I started collecting WV. https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Creator-Expert/subtheme-Winter-Village

    Looks great and it's strange to see official images before a leak. Looking forward to seeing the GWP vignettes.

    I considered this when it was released. My thought was to remove the foundation / basement level and recolor much of the roof and trim to appear snow covered. Ultimately I decided against it, not because of scale but because of the amount of pieces I'd be paying for and not using...not to mention the bricklink order for recolors.

    It seems like they've really clamped the leaks as best they can. Based on recent history we should get an announcement within the next twoish weeks.

    I like the idea of a new cottage design every couple years. My collection is beginning to outgrow the space I have to display it so having several house-type structures to switch out would work for me. With that said, we've had two straight "houses" so we may be due for a municipal-type building.

    I don't have this set yet but fabrics are usually shipped in a white cardboard box to help prevent creasing. No reason to believe this would be any different.

    That doesn't make any sense. Saturn V is of somewhat similar historical subject matter and sold so well they reissued it. It got an insane amount of press and it's sale price is barely over $100. Edit: And I'm not even suggesting it be scaled to sell for $100. I'd bite the bullet and spend as much as $399 if it were an impressive model. But I'm not willing to spend $600+ on a Lego set and even if I would it would surely be so damn big I'd have nowhere to put it. I know a lot of people are in the same boat, pun possibly intended.

    A lifeboat? Wait a minute...i'm trying...i'm trying to delete it. In all seriousness, I'm really disappointed at a $600+ pricepoint. This prices so many people out. I really don't understand why they're moving to so many of these massive sets.

    Oct. 1 (ish) has been the typical release date. There's no reason to believe that won't be the case this year.

    Interested to see how these reissues play out, especially the fire station. It always seemed weird to me how they introduced new fire and police stations every year instead of letting them carry on through a couple product cycles. But it's sales driven so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But let me understand... this 77944 station will exist in the same cycle as 60215 with a new station coming in 2022? If so, that seems a bit much, no? And still no new baseplate integration (for better or worse)...

    I just bought the Hogsmeade buildings on BrinkLink and plan to mod them for WV use. Looking forward to this year's model and I doubt I'm going to roll the dice waiting for a GWP like I did last year.

    I was really hoping for a Creator scale Delorean...seems like something strange is going on with leaked info. First it there was a Delorean, then it may be Boost supported, and then there is another VW van, and supposedly a Tumbler, and of course the Titanic. I'm starting to wonder what's true and what's fake.
  16. CDM
    Nah, def not too soon and I'm not saying it wasn't a good one. Just that it was dark...as intended.
  17. CDM
    Man, that is dark.

    I still have the shipping box in the recycling for next week...confirmed the dims: 26 x 19 x 7" so it's a little bit smaller than what your tracking has noted. So either they used a larger box or the shipping service put a larger size in the computer to pump the shipping rate.
  19. CDM
    Yeah, sounds right based on what I got. It was stuffed with some airpaks and both Shuttle and Ulysses boxes were in good condition.
  20. CDM
    I haven't built my shuttle yet but I assumed it would be somewhat tricky and would require extra parts. I may Bricklink one to have when I build to play around. But you're right, the 5-wide aspect makes things a little more complicated.
  21. CDM
    Has anyone retrofitted the Shuttle to utilize a hanger used in the Batwing? I think this would be a pretty successful MOD and I'm kinda surprised the designers haven't used it here. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=67139&idColor=11#T=C&C=11

    Give it some time. It took a while for me to get the order confirmation email. If your bank / card says pending you should be fine.

    While it may be possible to have multiple VIP accounts, they'd still be making the appropriate purchases to accumulate points so I'm not sure I see the point in going to the trouble. Who knows though...people will go to incredible lengths to save / make a buck. I get the impression the issues are due to 1. incredibly high demand and 2. embarrassing IT issues for a company of LEGO's size and stature.
  24. CDM
    Wow, this sucks even if completely expected. Hoping for the best come 9:00am.

    Unfortunately, no.
