x105Black Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 I went to the LEGO Store this morning to get a gift for my niece, and while I was there I asked if they had any leftover Darth Revan polybags. They said that it was a 1 day only deal, and that they are very strict with the Star Wars license because they don't want to lose it. Makes sense. Quote

Although I did go to a Gamestop recently and they gave me a free leftover Kylo Ren Shuttle polybag. Quote
Artanis I Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) So disappointed... triple points weren't showing up on Friday so I thought maybe we in Aus weren't getting them. Waited until later in the day, saw later that the trooper AND triple points were advertised for Friday-Sunday, so I placed an order only for neither to show up in the cart or email... Even though I wanted it, if I missed the minifig because they ran out I can't really complain. But if I don't get the points I will be pretty pissed off. And all these people getting free minifigs with multiple tiny orders is pissing me off too, I have to spend $200+ each order to avoid the horrendous postage charge. (and then not get the minifig after all) 13 hours ago, Azrielsc said: Over in this part of the world, we only have Darth Maul polybag on 30 Sep and a FO General on 1st Oct. No Darth Revan. I would be happy with either of those, the general hasn't been made available to us Edited October 2, 2016 by Artanis I Quote

My email confirmation didn't include the Stormtrooper polybag but it's shown on the system, so I'm hopeful that it will be included! Also, I don't think that the VIP points are credited until the order has been shipped; if it's not showing then just call CS and I'm sure they'll be able to fix it for you Quote

Haven't ordered on the new site before, but everywhere that told me how many points I'd get on this order (including in the email) equated to single points. I will wait and see how it goes, but has everyone else had their estimated/projected (whatever) points as expected or not? I realise already that the points aren't awarded until later, but thanks.

Only Sinner Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Well, I was up all night working on Friday morning. I wanted to order something from RO, but the stupid site just kept saying, coming soon, coming soon, coming soon. Guess they didn't want to sell very much then. Quote
Hold0511 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Yup all out of stock in the UK S@H....still gives me time to ponder the purchase of Krennic's shuttle... Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Pretty sure I got to 100 VIP points. Considering I barely got a battle pack and I'll walk away with a Revan, I'm pretty happy. Quote
eldiano Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) IMG_1317 IMG_1315 The 501st came over before it opened: IMG_1296 Only reason I bough the Imperial Shuttle was for Krennic, I love bad guys, call me crazy but the empire are the good guys: IMG_1314 Call me Crazy but I think was the only one who actually bought a Death Star on my store all day, there was only one and I got it, but they never restocked the shelf when I went back: IMG_1322 IMG_1323 IMG_1324 IMG_1325 IMG_1326 Aside from being the original you can still see the quality difference, this is the original packaging of the death star: IMG_1327 Look at the new, they only did half and just threw like all the bags in there, but i do like the manual has it's own box: IMG_1329 I don't know much about Lego Star wars but I finally made the Yularen seen by the elevator scene with the hat piece with the imperial officers in this death star, I have only seen this variant in gray: IMG_1336 On other news, on Missing bricks the death star practically has all the minifigures for pick up, even the new han solo piece, managed to get two extra's. It was an awesome weekend, three revans and one FO general. love it. Edited October 2, 2016 by eldiano Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 With Christmas seemingly around the corner (it'll come fast), I decided to pick my fellow Star Wars fan friends up a key chain each...and I got a Darth Revan with each purchase. Free shipping on all purchases, and the VIP points allowed me to reach my next reward as well. I ordered early Friday morning (6-7:30 AM) and everything worked smoothly. I used a mobile Apple device, could this be a safe route for navigating the website? Quote

RetroInferno Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Wow the 501st was there? Lucky you, there's only about 200 members here in canada! Insane haul too by the way, and 2 Death Stars? :O Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 @eldiano That's an awesome story. What Lego store is that? Quote

Everyone in the line was schocked to see them there in the first place, mostly just kids, but it was kind of funny to hear vader breath and have the stormies say hi to everyone who came in the store! 51 minutes ago, BrickHat said: @eldiano That's an awesome story. What Lego store is that? San Antonio Lego at North Star Mall. Cool store, my only pet peeve is they enforce Lego policies too much, I asked for the distribution box for the death star and they declined no matter how much I begged the store manager, I told them I got mine like that the last time also, but they played dumb.

If you mean Bricks and Pieces then the Missing Bricks part will always show items like that are in stock but its meant for use if they were MISSING from your set. If you've used it to order extra ones (and continue to do so) then you'll quickly get your account flagged and, heaven forbid, if something is ever missing from a set you probably won't get it sent out. The 'Buy Bricks' button at the bottom of that page is the thing you should use if buying extras... not the Missing Bricks part. Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 @eldiano Your not crazy! Your perfectly sane. You should consider your elf luck to have been in the presence of Lord Vader Long live the empire. Quote
JPN366 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Went to one of the TRU's near me and they didn't have any FO Generals left over. I have to check the other one. Quote
Lobot Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 I've just had my shipping notification for the order I made on Saturday. It will be interesting to see if the Stormtrooper polybag appears as it's listed on the S@H order but wasn't in the original notification. I get the impression that their new system is having some quite serious teething issues; the latest email didn't even include any details of what I'd ordered! It's weird that a company with a superb CS team has such an awful website - perhaps they'll fix it at some point Quote
Kodan Black Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Thursday delivery for my Revan/Advent Calendar order. Can't wait! Quote

The_Chosen_1 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Did anyone make it out to one of Walmart's Lego events over the weekend? I'm curious about what the X-Wing giveaway was. Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 I'm just going to say if you go to /r/Lego try not to mention revan People are getting down voted like crazy because they said they got something when they missed out on revan. It's gone total toxic jealousy mode again Quote

What a score. Quote
