Polarlicht Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Mine shows in warehouse. Lets see if they take it out for no reason. I ordered right after midnight. I guess they only made like 37 GWPs again! Quote
Shiva Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Maybe rather poke at the Scalpers? I seen 2, that has or has had 4 for sale. One had only Owners Pack's. Another had 911 + Owners Pack. Quote
TheMainBricker Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 This is annoying, I thought that this wouldn't be listed as a separate item, so I've ordered the set without the VIP pack! And it's showing in the warehouse. I wish I could cancel the order, not much point buying the set at full RRP for no reason. These sets normally are sold elsewhere cheaper. Quote
Dragunov2 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Bought it aswell here in Belgium (Europe) and the GWP is added to my order Quote
burak Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Just received mine including the GWP! And thus the remaining course of my day is obvious Quote

burak Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Yes the GWP was listed separately. So I guess that if the GWP did not show up in your basket and on your order confirmation, you won’t receive it. Quote

jfbat Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Mine is underway. Minus the VIP pack, that is on the order, but on backorder (or "in warehouse", per the order status on the website). I'l be waiting for cancellation of that then... Quote

Was the OP promoted on the site, or was it just quietly added to your basket when you put the set in there? Agree, puzzeled me too that they were empty that fast. Which leads me to think it will either reappear or the shipping trouble was bogus. Can't really remember, sorry. Quote

Now showing as back ordered so I’m guessing that’s the last we’ll see of the GWP. Really disappointing tbh. Quote
Shiva Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Checkout for me, included these 3 items: 5006655 VIP LEGO® Porsche Welcome Pack 40416 Ice Skating Rink 10295 Porsche 911 10295 the Porsche, 5006655 the VIP Pack and 40416 as the GWP. What if the VIP shipping trouble is/was a transport / package lost / AWOL / destroyed trouble? Instead of bogus etc? Quote
Polarlicht Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Mine is on it's way, with the GWP! Quote
Lucarex Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Might be helpful if those saying they’ve received with GWP actually specify their country and date ordered. Quote
jfbat Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 So, for me: No GWP at checkout, 16 February, 00:35 CET (Netherlands) First mail was to notify me that part of my order was on backorder: the GWP (delivery within 60 days) Second mail was order confirmation, also with GWP On Lego.com order details also say with GWP Shipment notification: without GWP Package arrived today without GWP Order details at Lego.com still show GWP as "in warehouse" You never know, but I'm not really counting on getting the GWP in the end. But to be honest, I only remembered that it was there when I got the email notifying me it was on backorder. Would have ordered the set anyway, as a good spend for my VIP points, so I'm not too bothered by this. Still: bit silly to promote a special VIP set, and running out of it within minutes (and then seeing it on eBay and the like offered by scalpers). Quote
Polarlicht Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Found a video how a Targa Turbo looks like. Just a shame they didn't use one set. I think only a coule of pieces would be missing when using one set for the mod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW7NxmyYljU Quote
Friscorays Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Sariel has posted his review over in the Technic section. Spoiler alert: he really likes it. Quote
TheNiloJunior Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Very envious of those that got the GWP, but happy that it at least made it to some lucky few! @Coolusername That Turbo Targa looks pretty wicked, I actually just built a base coupe variant (using the turbo as starting point) on youtube as well: https://youtu.be/LitiznO0Bog This one did not require 2 sets, and was fairly straightforward. I'm wondering why Lego didn't just add 3 or 4 more pieces and market this as a 3-in-1! Quote
Shiva Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Ain't it even a 4 in 1, without additional parts? or quite close to. Turbo, Targa, non turbo, Turbo Targa? I guess quite many here use the "GWP" for the "VIP pack", right? Quote

Polarlicht Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 I wonder what the japanese numberplate refers to, like what town or prefecture? Quote
TheMainBricker Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Received the order today, no Owner's Pack, no Ice Rink. Will be returned for a refund. (Still waiting for the Vintage Car to be honoured on a previous order). Quote

Nothing showing up in European S@H this morning as VIP. I have just received my porche here in Germany today. It came without the GWP. I phoned up lego and they said the GWP was sold out within 15 minutes of it going on sale. I ordered the car at 5 in the morning of release and already GWP sold out. Quote
