May 15, 201311 yr Yes I am also kinda worried that it will sell out within the first day. And eBay sellers will crank up the price just because its limited edition.
May 15, 201311 yr I could use another servo or L motor but I REALLY want those large six-hole rims with the white stripe the black plastic looks nice and glossy too, I have the small black racing wheel with 6 holes and it's great
May 16, 201311 yr Maybe I'm the only one..but don't think this model is so special...OK blue parts,maybe ok the rims with this little white..the design of the old us muscle cars but don't personally like this design into the 9398 frame...prefered it in a car frame so lower. And more, what about the color combination?? Down we have red/grey while up we have black/blue/white/grey?? Come on.... Don't think gonna buy it(already have the 9398), when we'll have the pdf instructions maybe gonna make the body in black and red. With the money gonna buy the 42009 for sure!
May 16, 201311 yr This model is special because Lego has listened to the complaints regarding the color of the original set, and this is sort of a replacement. I will never buy the 9398, but this one I want badly.
May 19, 201311 yr So the 100 / 101 winners of the competition, have they received their copy of this limited edition set yet? Do we have a date for general release yet? Paul
May 19, 201311 yr No we have not,we should hopefully get them in the middle of the year. Edited May 19, 201311 yr by Alasdair Ryan
June 17, 201311 yr Received another email from LEGO Technic Team for my contact number with country code for their freight forwarder company! Edited June 17, 201311 yr by Gene
June 17, 201311 yr I'm kind of wondering what the correct format for the number is. I put mine as 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx, but is the country code supposed to go after the number? Anyway, end of june shipping= Happy Saberwing.
June 17, 201311 yr I believe the format they expect is a plus sign, your country code, and your phone number. For example, a number for Portugal would be "+351xxxxxxxxx".
June 20, 201311 yr When somebody receives it and puts it together, can you post a parts list for the top part? That way I can buy the needed parts for only the top rather than buying the entire set as I will be buying the 9398 soon.
July 9, 201311 yr I'd say that the question is a bit moot, since most probably the 20000 copies will be sold out well before the typical life cycle of a Technic set ends. Personally, if there is no unit limit per customer, what I'm most afraid is that it gets sold out before I can buy one.
July 9, 201311 yr That's exactly what I'm afraid of. Although with the exclusivity of it, they should but a limit on it. They put a limit of 5 on the 9398 so I think they may put a limit on this one too.
July 9, 201311 yr I haven't read anything about the 9398 being limited, so if they put a limit of 5 per customer on a non-limited set, they should at least put a limit of 2 per customer on the 41999 which is limited. That's the most fair, giving more people the chance to get it.
July 9, 201311 yr Ya I went to the lego.com store and it says that you can only buy 5 so that everyone who wants one, can have one.
July 10, 201311 yr Ya I went to the lego.com store and it says that you can only buy 5 so that everyone who wants one, can have one. Where???? I go to shop.lego.com and can't find it anywhere!
July 10, 201311 yr Go to this link: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/4X4-Crawler-9398?p=9398 It says a limit of 5 and then has a ? beside it
July 10, 201311 yr other lego exclusives (like LOTR tower, XWing etc) are limited to 2!! Good thing!!
