41999 from shop.lego.com - problems, concerns, questions, answers

Lego store in Potomac Mills, VA had (2) 41999 crawlers in the shelf as of 3pm on 10/14/13.

I dig the topic to post this that I found in the toy catalog from Cora, in Belgium :

Cora is a general-purpose supermarket, I guess like Wallmart in the USA.

I am surprised that they have the 41999 in stock (I didn't see it in the store, but I didn't pay much attention, as I saw the catalog only afterwards), especially at that low price. Notice that they do not display the model number, unlike the other Lego sets.

I suppose that there will be disappointed kids if they put it on their Santa Claus wish list :D

This is probably to lure customers to the shop. Or they just don't know what they are selling.

Strange either way.

Wow, and in the new promotion it is 10€ more reduced........

Look at page 36-37: http://issuu.com/corafolders/docs/22_10_fz_low_rvb_100?e=1837294/5169128#search

That one seems to be from France. There the 41999 was already 10€ cheaper than in Belgium on the Lego S@H :D

Is there actually stores where they don't know what they sell?

I didn't think there were any copies of 41999 still available for sale.

From a comment on another forum, it seems they had indeed a few boxes for sale, but of course all were quickly sold...

If anyone here wants to buy it they can send me a pm if thats allowed. The set is in Norway so be warned that the shipping is a bit crazy since everything is expensive her. Ill sell it at the S@H price or trade it for a Lego Technic set i don't have. Ain't trying to earn money just share the great set :)

skriblez, I seem to be unable to send you a PM, can you try to contact me? Also from NO, and have been looking for this set for ages.

OT: when am I allowed to send PMs?

[Jim]

You need 10 posts to be able to send PMs.

Dank je wel, Jim. Also, if you have any suggestions on how to get this set in Netherlands, it would be most appreciated.
