Criss Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 So in Germany there will be double VIP points from 10th of october till 24th. And i'm pretty sure the MF won't be available again in that period, so: well played LEGO, well played! Quote

Everyone was hoping they could get the MF with double points. Lego isn't going to let that happen with a set this popular. Quote

Once LEGO gets stock in nobody will want to pay scalper prices. LEGO will be keeping this set around for ages (think Death Star ages). The time to sell them is now. Quote

ds760 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) I love idiot scalpers! There's a bunch selling locally on craigslist stuck with them. Can't even give them away for $100 profit. Now you got some clown overpaying by a lot on ebay thinking they will be worth $5000 some day in the near future. Good luck guy! Edited October 9, 2017 by ds760 Quote

ds760 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Good luck. You already overpaid on Ebay likely by a hell of a lot and you think you'll resell them in a week for even more when the same morons have been trying to sell on ebay for a couple weeks and can't find a sucker? Keep those 9 boxes taking up space in your house or some storage locker you pay $50 a month for for the next 15 years and hope lego does't build yet another or the market isn't so flooded with these for so many years that no one on the planet would ever need another. You want to make money in life work hard or learn how to invest in real investments like stocks. These guys have been trying to sell since the last shipment came into the local lego store and still can't find any inpatient idiots willing to overpay for something that will be widely available for years. I can't stand individuals always looking to profit in any stupid way they can think of. There was a clown here who bought 2 on Sept 14th. He listed them on craigslist for $3000. The following week 5 more got released thats when I got mine he dropped to $2500. The week after that 8 more got released he dropped to $2000. The same idiot is now trying to desperately sell the same 2 for $1100 just to get his money back. People like that deserve to be stuck with it for years. Some other person that wanted to build it could have received those 2 instead you have a tool who trys to make a quick buck and now karma bites him in the a$$. Soon he'll have to sell it for what he paid and keep the vip points he got for his asshattery! He likely will never manage to sell them as people want their own vip points. I exchanged some emails with this guy. His job? "Toy reseller". How's that working out? Get a real job! Edited October 9, 2017 by ds760 Quote
Cyanide-Tipped Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Safe to say he doesn't have 9...probably doesn't have 1. Just a troll who got bored under the bridge. Quote
Aggron44 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Welp I sold 8 of them for a total of $15,000 Usd. I spent $10,000 on them. No profit? I think not. 11 hours ago, ds760 said: Good luck.

Terrasher Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) It would be great if everyone would stop replying to annoying posts. Ignore trolls, scalpers and members whose actions are disliked by the community and their comments will be buried and unseen. You'll all get your Falcons eventually. Get in your local Store's waiting list and subscribe to TLG's Millenium Falcon availability e-mail. Don't buy overpriced MFs. Wait. Build something else in the meantime. Get distracted. I'm dealing with the wait by building minifig-scale versions of X-Wings, Y-Wings and whatnot. I know this comment is kind of ironic, but I'm getting into this conversation so that hopefully it'll convince everyone to ignore trolls and spare this topic of annoying posts. EDIT: Oh, hey, look at that. There's an option to ignore users. That should come in handy. Edited October 9, 2017 by Terrasher Quote
Daphatty Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Man, it's been nearly a month since the Early Access release. I must admit, I'm surprised that Lego hasn't released the new online batch by now. Quote
BrickG Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Supply is only going to get worse when Episode 8 comes out. I bet the set is hard to find until much later in 2018. Quote
t4v Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 HERE AT LAST! 26 days from order to receiving it... /heavy breathing Quote

True. I’m just gonna wait until mid 2018. I can’t go through all this chaos! Quote
Schneeds Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Just received a Lego catalog in the mail and the MF is conspicuously absent from it. Whether or not the shortage is deliberate they sure screwed the pooch on this release. Quote
Criss Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Received a mail today with the info about the upcoming vip sale. They shortened the period from 10th-24th to 10th-15th. To me it feels like the MF will be available shortly after the vip sale ends. TLG can't miss the christmas business with the Falcon! Quote

The VIP double points sale is still showing as lasting through the 25th here in the states. Upon looking at this more it seems that the time has been shortened to the 10th-15th everywhere but the US and Canada. Seems odd. Edited October 11, 2017 by blackknightrises Quote
Fuppylodders Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Thats bloody frustrating, I won't be back in the uk until the 19th, was hoping to go to a Lego store just after while the vip sale is still on Quote
