Jim Posted July 3, 2018 Author Posted July 3, 2018 I do not don't like scooby doo! Bottomline; I will do my best but the write-up might be a bit more brief than usual. This is already the case with the Chiron review, which I will post Friday or Saturday. Quote
Black_Belt_Titan Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Couldn't you do brief reviews at first just to get them out for us to see and then go back to make the reviews more in depth? Quote
Aventador2004 Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Can someone maybe try putting the 42082 on top of 42055 when it is released? That would be quite interesting. Quote

You can probably do a quick video walkthrough to show the functions and your main findings, then provide all the details later in the written review. I'd be more than happy to help with the videos if I lived closer... Quote

L3gonut Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 this topic is going nowhere.. keep up the info tho. Quote
mortenm Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I just saw this in Legoland, Billund https://ibb.co/jPOqpy It was hard to resist, but I know that a local supermarket has 35% on lego in less than a month, so I must be patient ? Quote
Jim Posted July 5, 2018 Author Posted July 5, 2018 I find it so strange that sets are already in stores and we have an embargo for the reviews. And we don't even have received the sets. Quote

LvdH Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 That’s twice this year that a set has ended up in Legoland before release... I wonder how that could even happen. Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Anyone up for a quick flight to Billund? Quote

allanp Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Think I'll be going to Legoland Windsor on Wednesday will see if there's anything there, but will also respect the embargo date if I do find anything. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 All H2 sets are already available for preorder on amazon.de. Shipping is on 26th July. Quote
Black_Belt_Titan Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I just preordered my 42082 but it will not arrive until August 3rd since the release date for the US is August 1st Quote
allanp Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 As people seem to be buying these from Legoland Billund, and as I happened to be in Legoland Windsor yesterday I made sure to look in the shop. Unfortunately no 2h2018 technic was there. I double and triple checked! Quote

I wonder how that could even happen. As a young kid, I believed that all Lego sets were actually made in Legoland, similar as Santa on his North pole base. There might be some truth in it after all ... On a more serious note: I guess it's a simple marketing strategy: lure more people to the Billund park and the Lego house and simultaneously sell more sets at the full price. Profit! The review embargo is still strange though, maybe a way to buy time for production and spread the demand for the new sets a bit more over time? Quote

merman Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Well deadline for reviews is still Aug 1st which is cool. I will need that for writing anyway. To me it is not about being the first, but about writing a thorough review. Probably will do 42082 first tho’. Edited July 12, 2018 by merman Quote
