I'd guess it'd be possible to talk with customer services if something like that did happen. I believe it happened with the Helicarrier, not entirely sure. Personally I'm waiting to get the more expensive sets when promotional aspects turn up either the Shang Chi one or something else later down the line. If it's not up in an hour or so, you'd probably be best sleeping

Maybe its all a sign for us to wait to release day!

ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 I'll wait up till 1am just in case, but then crash and set an alarm for 6am. Absolute piss take.
TheLEGOChap Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 My guess is maybe they mixed up GMT/BST and actually meant 00:00 GMT? At least I’m hoping that’s the case I wasn’t planning on staying up till all hours.

As far as I can tell, most times it updates based on Midnight Eastern Time... which might be a while...

Alternatively this is an option, in which case it'd update in about 20-25 minutes. Though if not, then your next best bet is probably Midnight EST.

BrickBob Studpants Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Man, the last few releases went so well and now this…
ReZourceman Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 01:01 and still not available. Height of incompetence. Wasted time. Pathetic.
TheLEGOChap Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Right so an hour later and still nothing. I think the big issue is there is no community interaction from LEGO’s social media accounts. They will obviously be aware there is an issue but no communication to fans as to why there is an issue/ when it may be resolved etc. Not even any acknowledgment that there is an issue.

Is it really too much to ask that someone is available at the time of one of the most high profile releases of the year to make sure that it runs smoothly?
Scarilian Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Maybe EST? But that'd still be a few hours. As a sidenote, June US Calendar has been revealed showing two promotions a McLaren Elva with purchases over $40 from 7th to the 20th and a Swing Ship Ride with purchases over $85 from 21st to 30th.
BrickBob Studpants Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 And lemme guess, by the time we get up in the morning it‘s already backordered
PGBQW Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 You know what, we did all we could, so I'm not gonna feel guilty tomorrow morning if it gets out of stock. Good night, mates
TheJeff Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 I just chatted to a Lego customer service rep. They know there’s a problem and the website team is trying to fix it ASAP. She said to just keep refreshing the page

TheJeff Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) That’s what I said to her. She just apologized. It’s complete megablocks. They are too big, successful, and popular to let this kind of thing happen. If it’s on back order when I wake up, customer service is getting an earful Haha! It automatically changed ‘BS’ to megablocks! That’s classic! Edited May 26, 2021 by TheJeff
TheLEGOChap Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Just spoke to a rep as well, he said ‘I would say in the next hour it should be available, but I cannot guarantee it’ which just sounds like a complete guess on his part
