Just received my X-Wing order for the May 4th promotion. The X-wing box was crushed at one end, and the poster was partially stuck to the packing tape and tore :cry_sad:

But they also shipped me a Chima Starter Set as a free-bee. Anyone get anything thrown in?

But they also shipped me a Chima Starter Set. It's not listed on the packing sheet. Has anyone else gotten an extra free-bee thrown in, or was this an error?

My poster was stuck to the tape also so I called customer service and they are sending me a new poster. I also got the chima set and my boys love it, go figure, $200 Star Wars set or the Chima junk....

It does however list every other country's page for 10227 and OUCH!...$350 Australia!?!?

yes. 350 AUD is ~= $350 USD. I am seriously annoyed by that. I placed an order with S@H in USA for delivery to a freight forwarding service--but S@H eventually cancelled my order. Coupled wiht the fact that Lego prohibit Amazon from shipping to Australia is really *&@*# me off. Yes, LEgo isn;'t a charity, but when they're going to that lengths to insulate the australian consumers from the worldwide marketplace, it suggests that the increase in price is NOT just to cover the increased costs of doing business in Australia. Clearly Lego make much more profit (ie. not just revenue) from their price structure. I remain an unhappy camper.

I can't speak to their regional or national pricing. But the reason they will not send to freight forwarders any longer is because of the prevalence of the Drop Ship scam and CC fraud they have been hit with in the past year.

I got the Chima set too. And the Han minifig. The poster was a collectible minifig poster, showing all the collectible minifig. Is that really what the May the 4th poster is? I don't realy care if it isn't, just curious beasue it has nothing to do with Star Wars.

No, the advertised free poster was a Yoda Chronicles poster, lots of green with a big image of Yoda.

Is Chima not doing well? I got one, too. No idea what to do with it. A few decent parts, and figures are neat - but I don't know what I'd use them for. Was thinking about giving it away, but at the same time there are decent parts (mostly the "gems" and plant parts). Seems like a waste to cannibalize it just for those, though.

Still, nice of them to throw it in, I guess. It would be cool to put it on the slip, though, as I was getting ready to call them about their "mistake."

I also got a second Han Holo. I'll just go ahead and keep that one.

Interesting, the poster was probably going in the trash either way. I guess they ran out of the Yoda posters.

I want a Han Holo. ;-)

If you purchased any Collectable minifigures you got that poster as well. My box had both the Yoda poster and minifig poster since I had ordered B-Wing and some Series 10 on the same order. My son was very happy with his Chima freebie as well.

I saw the Chima set we received in TRU today- didn't look at or memorize the price, though. Even for those of us not into Chima, it was generous of Lego to do this.

I thought I read you had to order 5 of CMF 10 to get that poster. That poster has some errors. A few people added/missing. Pretty poor job by the creator.

But then you should also get the Yoda poster. I didn't see any numbering on this one. Last year's Artoo poster had numbers xx/xx I thought.

I also received a Chima set. They must have sent it to everyone??

It's a good idea to get people interested in it. They are really selling that Chima idea to people. I think the number of sets alone this year was unheard of. I haven't opened mine yet, but I wanted to pick one up for my daughter anyway. This just saves me $20 or so.

My Xwing came on Wednesday and was missing both Han and the poster :cry_sad:

A quick email to them and they're sending me a replacement, but it's not exactly ideal. Especially after last year when they ran out of stock of the promo items so I didn't get everything then. Although I did get a second TC14 so not all bad I suppose

The promo items for all of my orders shipped already and the B-Wings I ordered are on back order. After everything that's happened the last couple of years with May the 4th, it seems like LEGO has things figured out. Personally I received ever promo item I was supposed to.

Heh, Lego shipped the promo stuff first since my B-Wing was on back order, and the B-Wing finally shipped Thursday. Since the former was snail mail and the latter was Fedex, they were both delivered today. Both came with that Legend of Chima set, and I don't really want one of them, much less 2. Maybe my nephews will like them... :shrug_confused:

Was I suppose to get a Speedorz starter set and a CMF poster too? Because I got my promo stuff, and Springtime Scene today and there was a Speedorze set. . . Also, didn't know the Yoda Chronicles poster was so brickin' huge.

5002505 was the number for it when I put my order in.

Will I get a Chima starter set here in Australia? I ordered the X-wing on the 4th with the Han fig and the poster, but I'm not sure whether I'll get the Chima thing. It'd be a nice bonus if it did come.
