August 2, 201311 yr Author I am amazed that they did not mark it up. I will probably check my local TRU at lunch.
August 2, 201311 yr Still no ship. Bought before others.... 100% done with Lego's direct stores. This has happened to me multiple times... It should be FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. I have no idea why they skip me so often.
August 2, 201311 yr I am amazed that they did not mark it up. I will probably check my local TRU at lunch. Oh, something to think about regarding that - often, when a brand new LEGO set first comes out, TRU will carry it at the MSRP for a few days or a week or so before applying their usual exorbitant mark-ups. If I were planning on getting it from TRU, I'd try to do it ASAP, while it's still only $34.99.

August 2, 201311 yr I ordered one around 10 am GMT in European lego shop, and Endor and Yavin IV. I still see "In Process"
August 2, 201311 yr That's cause Lego.com sucks and is the only place I have this issue with (and multiple times). Their computers don't have the actual stock and they oversell like morons apparently.
August 2, 201311 yr I got mine today from my local Mastermind Toys, anyone heard of them? This is only in Canada, but they have a nice sizable amount of LEGO to choose from. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find they had 4 Deloreans on the shelf and a bunch of Minecraft sets. It was also 5 cents cheaper. Going to build it later, can't wait!
August 2, 201311 yr http://www.toysrus.c...ductId=23263666 Hah! Well, there you go - and even faster than usual.
August 2, 201311 yr That's cause Lego.com sucks and is the only place I have this issue with (and multiple times). Their computers don't have the actual stock and they oversell like morons apparently. You can't really blame their stores or online shop. The set was in very high demand, the servers for S@H are crazy right now with all the traffic, and the stores don't get as much stock. We were told by a LEGO store manager (who is a good friend of ours) that these are selling fast, overwhelmingly fast. However I don't think S@H, Lego Stores, or TLG as a whole should be held responsible, they weren't aware that this set would be so popular. Edited August 2, 201311 yr by Lance
August 2, 201311 yr Note for BE & NL customers : right now it is at 39,99 € instead of 49,99 like it was. For FR it is still at 41,99 € I quickly made an order, even if it is not available right now, as it will then spare me a visit to the Lille store :D
August 2, 201311 yr S@H's servers must be overloaded by the combined demand for the DeLorean, and also for the Limited Edition Crawler... I don't think it was very wise of TLG to make those two sets available at the same time.
August 2, 201311 yr Hah! Well, there you go - and even faster than usual. oops, I deleted the text. Well you got the idea anyway. Yes, very fast!
August 3, 201311 yr You can't really blame their stores or online shop.

However I don't think S@H, Lego Stores, or TLG as a whole should be held responsible, they weren't aware that this set would be so popular. Exactly especially when they saw everyone moaning about how the set looked, before seeing reviews or proper pictures of it. They most likely thought that everyone hated it.
August 3, 201311 yr Exactly especially when they saw everyone moaning about how the set looked, before seeing reviews or proper pictures of it. They most likely thought that everyone hated it. the thing is people really really wanted this set which is why when it came out we were disapoited with how it looked cos we wanted it to be great. There was always a lot of people that wanted this set but yes there was a question of how many charged there mind when they saw it. I don't like it that much but still have to have it, I think a lot of people will be the same. It saved its self by being Lego, meaning people can charge the things they don't like so just cos they don't like it all does not mean they wont buy it. I just hope Lego does not think hey people like the hood like that lets make all our cars that way now. :) Edited August 3, 201311 yr by SMC
August 3, 201311 yr Well, I checked the credit card and they have got the payment, but it´s still "in process". I think that they are a little busy with the shipping of everyone.
August 3, 201311 yr The two I ordered has now shipped. Hopefully everyone else starts getting shipping notices.
August 3, 201311 yr Note for BE & NL customers : right now it is at 39,99 € instead of 49,99 like it was. For FR it is still at 41,99 € I quickly made an order, even if it is not available right now, as it will then spare me a visit to the Lille store :D Wow, thx for the heads up! I hope this is a permanent price because my funds are going to other things right now.
August 3, 201311 yr I received a shipping notice for my S@H order. My two DeLoreans should arrive on Wednesday!
August 3, 201311 yr Lol, i was very worried because I was expecting a email with the track order number, but it was on the order history. Maybe Monday or Tuesday it will arrive
August 5, 201311 yr Mine finally say shipped. I went a bit crazy there . But it's the Back to the Future set so it's understandable.
