BlueberryWaffles Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I lot of people have been getting those lately. I think someone even got one when they bought a keychain. TLG's cramming Chima down our throats. But hey! Free LEGO! Quote
WEREWOLF Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 i think Azog will have an arm and hand similar to the Evil Robot from Series 8. assuming that Azog comes in one of the new Hobbit sets this December Quote
LegoDad Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 My Orthanc arrived with Jor-El, a poster, and this: http://www.brickset....il/?Set=70113-1 Happen to anyone else? I'm confused but pleased, not gonna turn down a free set - they didn't charge me for it! Goodness, they're still giving these away? They must have made an extra 100,000 that they can't get rid of. It was a nice gesture, though. Still not going to get me to buy an Chima, however. Quote
dranguish Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 My Orthanc arrived with Jor-El, a poster, and this: http://www.brickset....il/?Set=70113-1 Happen to anyone else? I'm confused but pleased, not gonna turn down a free set - they didn't charge me for it! Yes. Same here. I thought maybe they added it since shipping got slightly delayed? Either way. Free set. And completely agree with the fact that its not gonna get me to buy any Chima stuff. The whole storyline and conflict just doesn't catch me at all (saw the 4D video at legoland and it bored me completely), and none of the sets thusfar have caught my interest either... Quote
TheLegoDr Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I think they want to get the Chima word out, but also they probably have a lot of that particular set that they can't move. I received 3 on May the Fourth sales. I didn't make 3 orders mind you. Amazon has had it on 50% sales ever since May 4th also. I'm not sure what it is now, but I know it has been heavily discounted for a long time. So if they are still giving them out, then I guess they must not be moving too easily. Like the full price SW B-Wing.. All of my orders were shipped, but I haven't received anything yet. I'll see if my Orthanc comes with one also. Not that I need another one. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I've received 7 of the Chima sets so far. Quote
just2good Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Saw the two bigger regular sets at my Target today. Pretty cool. Quote
CM4Sci Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 I've received 7 of the Chima sets so far. I could take a few off your hands. :) -Sci Quote

narbilu Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I received 2 Towers of Orthanc for the price of 1... but I'm gonna return one of them Quote
Kez Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I received 2 Towers of Orthanc for the price of 1... but I'm gonna return one of them You are very honest, for that lego should let you keep it, congratulations for doing the right thing though, although if I was in your situation I'd've been very tempted but I'd've probably done the same as you.

The Joker1 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I remember receiving two of a set once. I wrote to Lego asking about returning one and they said i could keep it, As i had no need for a second model i sold the other one and gave the money to charity. (It was a Grand carousel so would have been worth a similar amount back in the day ) Edited June 25, 2013 by The Joker1 Quote
Mencot Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Got my Tower today looks really good, from what I did have time to check. I am gonna sell of some stuff, but have decided I will keep the Tower after I read the review made by Rufus here on EB and also watched the good video-review by Brickqueen on Youtube. [ So PS, I know this Isn´t the buy/sell (sorry) but would anyone (in Europe) be intrested in buying the Ent or the Great Eagle or both. I have made a Super lot in BL (http://www.bricklink.com/storeDetail.asp?bindID=29721&b=-12774696&h=240131) PM me for more info or if someone is intrested (price is negotiable)] I received 2 Towers of Orthanc for the price of 1... but I'm gonna return one of them Honesty till the end I remember receiving two of a set once. I wrote to Lego asking about returning one and they said i could keep it, As i had no need for a second model i sold the other one and gave the money to charity. (It was a Grand carousel so would have been worth a similar amount back in the day ) I could understand someone would make a mistake and put some off the small sets in double, but big, expensive, exclusive sets like, the Grand Carousel and the tower Orthanc (especially the grand carousel set) how is it possible!

TheLegoDr Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Just to update the above post. My Orthanc did not come with one. So either they forgot, or you're extra lucky and received one. But hey, I'll take a second Orthanc for free . I also heard at Brickworld they were handing out that Chima set by the case. I know a few people who received 3 cases of them. I guess it is 6 per case. So either they intentionally produced too many to give out at events and to spread the word, or they are handing them out because they produced too many. Quote
SandMirror38 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 whooo got wizard battle $18 and c.o.elrond $48!!! [ So PS, I know this Isn´t the buy/sell (sorry) but would anyone (in Europe) be intrested in buying the Ent or the Great Eagle or both. I have made a Super lot in BL (http://www.bricklink...774696&h=240131) PM me for more info or if someone is intrested (price is negotiable)] Maybe Ill check :) Quote

Lynx Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Orthanc has arrived in Australia. Since I'm working both days on the weekend, I expect this to be a long building process. Yay! Quote
howie28 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Same!! Though I have my last day of school for the term tomorrow, but I'll start building tonight. Quote
Artanis I Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I hope I get mine tomorrow then. Means I can build it on Saturday under natural light Quote
Darth Malgus Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 My Orthanc was in NSW last night, hopefully today it may be here... Quote
