Fatteh Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Any Kiwis got their one yet? Ordered online on the 1st only got the mini mech shipped,still waiting on the Boss. I think some have had their orders shipped, but I'm in the same boat as you. There's an NZ specific thread over here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26231&st=4100 Asked the owner of Toyworld he said they should be getting some later on this month or next but not sure how many. Interesting. I thought this set was exclusive to Lego outlets. Quote
nsxz Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Interesting. I thought this set was exclusive to Lego outlets. That's what I thought as well. As you know there is no lego outlets anywhere in NZ(as far as I know...) Toyworld is the official retailer for Lego, they sometimes orgnise comptitions for lego and they are the only store that can get exclusive sets from lego eg: modular buildings, Death Star, etc He also said there is no guarantee they will get them as lego may cut down on their numbers and sell them online as there is a huge demand online. Anyway fingers crossed:) Quote
Realfi Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Order status has been changed to "In Process"!! Fingers crossed it'll ship soon!! Quote
Realfi Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The Australian store is showing the crawler as officially sold out now. Hopefully now that they're not taking any more orders they can focus on the ones they actually do have. Quote
Lost_In_Noise Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 "In process" for me too. Got the mech delivered to my door yesterday. Fingers crossed/\ Quote
EyesOnly Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Swedish S@H also says sold out. Good luck to those of you who ordered it. Quote
jacumbo Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 my order status changed from backordered to customer service its sold out Quote
mssm Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Swedish S@H also says sold out. Good luck to those of you who ordered it. Finally. Got my MiniMech yesterday. I've noticed that S@H ships with DHL. But when the parcel arrives in Sweden they hand over it Posten (Swedish mail) making the tracking number invalid. Better be home when the real deal arrives at my house... Strange. Edit. My status is now changed from Backordered to In Process. Lucky me! Edited August 9, 2013 by mssm Quote
Cyclotron102 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Mini Mech delivered and The Boss backorder changed to in process! yupii! Quote
Jim Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 my order status changed from backordered to customer service its sold out Is that your own conclusion? Or did someone from CS tell you it's sold out? Did you get the miniset? Quote
mssm Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Mini Mech delivered and The Boss backorder changed to in process! yupii! Congrats! Happy times! Lets wait for the shipping mail. :P Quote
R0Sch Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 My order changed also from backordered to in process. I hope it will change to "in delivery" soon. (I ordered on the 5th August) It seems that the only countries where the set is not sold out is USA and Canada. Quote
jacumbo Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Is that your own conclusion? Or did someone from CS tell you it's sold out? Did you get the miniset? miniset is delivered, i hope this will change to in process, i ordered the set on 2nd august Quote
firetech Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Finally. Got my MiniMech yesterday. I've noticed that S@H ships with DHL. But when the parcel arrives in Sweden they hand over it Posten (Swedish mail) making the tracking number invalid. Better be home when the real deal arrives at my house... Strange. As soon as the package has entered Sweden, you can call Posten (0771 33 33 10) and say that you're waiting for a package from Germany and give them the DHL tracking number. They will then give you the Swedish tracking number so you can continue tracking. :-) Quote

In Germany the location was displayed but not in Sweden i guess. Anything you've noticed? Quote

If you enter your tracking number on http://www.dhl.de/en/paket/information/sendungsverfolgung.html instead of using the page that Lego links you to, you get a little more info (and it seems to update faster).

And thanks again, A bit more information on that page yes :) Quote
kungpo Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Mine has changed to "In Progress" now as well, but if you check the set itself, it's showing as Sold Out on the UK S@H site, so I guess the only hope is to try a Lego store now. Quote
maxxens Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 It would be interesting to see how many sets were sold how fast in which country. Especially, if in there were simply many more sets in the US available or less were bought until now. Quote
kungpo Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 On the US S@H site it's showing as available (30 days delivery) and not showing as Sold Out (which is interesting), which means they either have more stock allocated or the information on the site is wrong. Quote

The information indeed indicates that it is still available for ordering. If I hadn't placed my order already, I would try to order one. Quote
Burned_Alive Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 My order has gone from Backordered to Customer Service and the UK site now says Sold Out. I will be very annoyed if I end up not getting my order. I ordered this very early on at 23:45 on the 31st July. Terrible terrible customer service considering how special this set is. Quote
graafderk Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The information indeed indicates that it is still available for ordering. If I hadn't placed my order already, I would try to order one. The Dutch and German S@H sites also indicate that it is sold out. Maybe the European stock is out, but there is still some stock in the US left? Quote
TheShortOfIt Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) In Germany its sold out now, but I think everybody who ordered one will get one... Every order is manually approved by the customer service. So they do exactly know how much orders they have (and how many they have in stock). And from what I know from my friends and myself they do not accept payment by invoice. So many people including me paid in advance. Also some already got the mini mech. So it doesnt make any sense, that they start canceling now orders. From the economic sight, this would be absolutly ridiculous. I know from the past, that very good offers are sometimes oversold when tons of people order them the same time. But as said, Lego approves every single order with a 41999 in it, so this should normally not happen. Edited August 9, 2013 by TheShortOfIt Quote
