It's limited to 20,000 units worldwide. It appears to be sold out online but reports are coming in that Lego stores have received between 1 and 6 units per store.

Hard to believe they would sell 20K of a $200 set so fast. It does look awesome though, way better than the set it is based on.

I threw in an order this morning, because even though it says "out of stock" they are accepting back orders, so I'm assuming there will be another batch added soon.

Obviously you're not a golfer.
Well, now that it's out of stock I can use my 10$ credit, dropping it to 34.50$ Which I guess is better than hoping the store gets more in and just waiting the 30 days for them to ship :shrug:

Ah yes, ship date of August 16th. And I think it's a hard limit of 20k, so maybe they just don't have them yet to ship out.

Very tempting. Must resist.

DO IT! The reviews have been pretty promising and who doesn't like an RC Lego car! At least Lego doesn't charge you if they can't deliver.

Any comments or reviews on the new 21050 Architecture Studio? The Back to the Future set sorta over-shadowed this set, but it seems pretty cool.

Hi everyone.

Is Attack on Weathertop a good deal for £29.99 (GBP)?

I can get it later today for that price, and already have it reserved...

I love that set because it reminded me of Firelink Shrine from Dark Souls. So I made a few modifications to it to better resemble that location.

Wow, I never thought of this despite the countless hours I've spent watching my friends play Drunken Dark Souls (a shot for every death, fun/sad game). Guess it's time to buy another Weathertop set and make a birthday gift or two.

I keep looking at that and wondering if it's LEGO or the real Omega Supreme.

I mean, I know it's LEGO, but when I just glance at it, my mind thinks it's the original Transformer. Holy poo poo, that's good.

I figured it's the Spaceballs Winnebago, but there's no wings and the front bit is the wrong shape. Maybe Breaking Bad? It'd be the only modern series, though.

The Winnebago was my first thought too. But I don't think it's quite as iconic as the others, so it seems a weird choice.

Just bought craggers command ship. So far seems pretty awesome, would have LOVED this set as a kid. I'd really like some of the old plastic raised baseplates, the always had cool bases to go with them. Lego has some pretty awesome sets out, kids today are spoiled.

They sure are. I'm really digging a lot of the latest sets, like the Crocodile Hideout, Republic Gunship, and even the Friends Dolphin Cruiser. Every time I look at the box of Heartlike High, I wind up thinking of layer cake and get hungry.

I'm really digging the Chima minifigs but I can't really justify buying a £10+ set just to get one to play with. It'd be awesome if they did blindbags of them, though the blister packed set of 4 is also mighty tempting.

Why would it do that!?
I was a bit surprised to see the Delorean on sale in Bluewater's Lego store today (one of the biggest malls in south east England), although there was no way I was gonna justify spending £35 on it to the girlfriend. That's about as much as I bought the Orc Forge and Uruk-Hai army sets for combined!
