What's number one on your list to get 1st August?

[mrfuture]

Since i going to England this week. I may visit the Lego Shop at Shepherd's Bush again.

Have not decided what to get but Exo-Suit is on my list.

Mini cooper is also interesting. Have the Camper Van.

The new Volvo Technic is also tempting but it is to big to bring back.

Trevi and the Research lab for my daughters, got the Mini on day one, there are some great things about it and some really poor things about it, but if you have the prior VW Beetle and the VW van, you should pick it up, could have been way better

Will be checking other stuff out, Mos Eisley is a desire

[rollermonkey]

Tomorrow morning, I'll be getting:

Research Lab

Exo-Suit

AT-AT

Trevi

...all with VIP points.

I was going to order 2 Exo Suit sets from S@H, but it isn't on there. Been looking forward to this for weeks. No new sets available on there at all, actually.

On the home page there is an image for the set with "buy now", click on it and "product not available". Hope I don't have to wait another month!

Well it only took about 25 minutes to get from adding items to the bag to finishing placing the order. No indication that either exosuit or research lab was out of stock. Will wait and see what arrives.

[HenrikLego]

Oh boy, this wasn't easy but my order went through. No calculation of VIP-points, no free shipping, no promo-set, but I guess (and sincerely hope) all this is changed before the items are shipped.

The Exo-Suit and the Research Institute are now available in the US - at least on the East Coast. I've ordered both, but they were listed as "Out of stock, will ship in 30 days" to begin with.

I've been refreshing each respective product page every hour on the hour since midnight, so I'm positive they didn't blow through their allotment that quickly. It must be either an error or a precaution.

EDIT: Both now say 'Available Now.'

Ah, got mine in. The site was pretty slow there for a while, but looks like I'm good to go. :)

Picked up the Research set too. I will be saving that for my daughters for when they get a bit older (it's mainly Duplo for them at the moment!).

[Artanis I]

Right, so turns out I just had to wait for it to be 1st of August somewhere in the USA. Don't recall that happening before. Placing an order at 4pm on a Friday certainly doesn't feel like getting in early!

So I grabbed the other 2 Ideas sets too, to get the free shipping.

Yeah, also took me over 20 minutes to add to cart and check out, and there was a big block of red text on most of the pages saying that they were having technical difficulties and promotions, etc., would be applied later, after check out. I also didn't have free shipping for the first 15 minutes, then on the next-to-last checkout screen it popped in there. It's been about half an hour now and still no order confirmation email… but I saved my order summary and confirmation number to be on the safe side.

Hopefully that means I'll actually get my 2 Exosuits and the Research Institute, but we'll have to wait and see about the promotion(s) and whether or not the VIP points appear or need to be requested later. Still better than totally missing out like I did with the Curiosity set!

Got in on an Exo-Suit and an ISD. When I tried to buy the first time, it didn't give me the free shipping or VIP points, even had me in the wrong country! So I closed my browser, waited five minutes and tried again. Went through normally the second time though I haven't received a confirmation email yet. Order still shows on the shop though, so I reckon I'm good.

[HenrikLego]

Exo-Suit now says "Out of stock, expected ship date 4 sept. 2014" on lego.com

[LegoFjotten]

That was quick for the Exo-Suit, glad I got my orders in earlier this morning!

[TomKraut]

I also had trouble with lego.com when I tried to order this morning, so I decided to go to the Lego Store before work. Got myself 2 Exo-Suits and a Research Institute. Glad I did, when I checked lego.com again at work, the Exo-Suit already had the Sept. 4th shipping date.

Cheers

So annoyed that the Exo-Suit went straight from "not available yet" (when I left earlier to go see Guardians of the Galaxy at a preview screening) to "out of stock" (when I got home and checked) :(

Was really looking forward to buying one too.

Hopefully the SSS! (the other item I really want) shows up in Australia soon so I can buy one (was going to order it along with the Exo to hit the free shipping but that ain't happening now)

[LOTRfan]

Managed to nab an exo suit by getting up REALLY early. I'm still tired but it was worth it!

[talos]

I saw everything become available late last night, but figured it would be no big deal to wait till this morning, but aha, so many things were out of stock already..including the Technic Volvo I wanted to get. I sort of wanted to go to an actual store anyway, so I did today, and they were selling pretty fast, but they had the Volvo in stock, they told me they had a lot of them in the back. While I was there, the shelf emptied out, but they refilled it again... I am so glad there is a store within driving distance! I got another mini Mini too, (min $99 purchase)

[Gremer]

The first thing for me to get was the 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina, but that's sold out already.

Edit: Seems like the Summer SW sets aren't available in the States yet.

I liked the Trevi Fountain but went for the UN Building at 20% off. Lots of cool stuff at the LEGO store today. Too much.

[AFOLguy1970]

Went to the Lego store today near the opening. There were about 5 adults in there, some with kids. All of them had anywhere between 1 and 3 Exosuits. Two of them also had the new Ideas science set as well. I guess the Exosuit is going to be a big hit. Hopefully it will not end up like the Mars Rover, but the early run on them and the fact they are out of stock online suggests that many people are not going to take any chances on this one. I stuck with my plan and got the ISD. It looks like all the new Star Wars sets are in as well.

[m0dulo]

Everyone had two in their hands but were told there was a one-per-family restriction so we each had to put one back.

[Gremer]

Since the Cantina went out of stock so quickly, I decided to go ahead and get 75050 B-Wing instead.

[Herky]

saw the stuff online were already out, so went to the store, picked up Trevi, Exo Suit, Research Lab and then the suckered me in by having Hobbit Pirate Ship Ambush on sale $20 off, just couldn't pass it up. Lots of new Friends sets, but didn't have the Series 5 animals for my daughter yet, nor the mall, I couldn't remember what she didn't have so just one small set for her that was new. Spent almost $200 even with points.

[KringlesBricks]

Dang-it...the Exo Suit is sold out online. Gonna check out the Lego Store tomorrow morning...see if they have any in stock.

[KringlesBricks]

Went ahead and ordered the Exo Suit online even though it says "will ship in 30 days". Hopefully they hold to their words - I don't feel like checking the store every day or missing out from just waiting for it to be in stores.
