I think I'm going to spend an hour of leave to drop by the LEGO store when it opens tomorrow. I need my fix.

uXs posted:That's good, means they are still making them and can make as many as currently ordered + some more. Oh yeah, I have no doubt of that, I was just surprised because with the snowspeeder it took a couple of days to get to the backordered status whereas here it seems it was only a few hours--and I would have thought that snowspeeder would have been a lot more popular, but I guess I was wrong. Either way, it seems that most (all?) of the 1. June sets are already available to purchase at least in European Lego online shops, so...

I ordered the Saturn V, along with a few other things I wanted. Not before it went on backorder though, sadly. Says it'll ship June 7, which isn't too bad. The speed at which it sold out makes me wonder, how much overlap is there between Lego fans and Kerbal Space Program fans? KSP is already part digital rocket-lego, and it has certainly played its part in making space and rockets 'cool' again.

The popular ideas sets always sell out instantly on day 1. The rocket just has that perfect balance of "epic build, rad theme, decent price" that encourages people to buy it. There might be some mystique about NASA themed ideas sets too, as the last one was severely under produced. But if lego is smart there will be a second run over the next month or two and you'll be able to pick up your own rocket with no stress.

Hey guys, guess who was #3 in Australia (or at least #3 in one of the two lego stores in Aus) to buy this? The box is pretty heavy.  I'm going to have a fun morning.

Got my Saturn V in the post, and that fishing village is exactly my jam. Still bitter that I missed the Shuttle Expedition & Rover sets, might have to bricklink the shuttle at least. e: oh gently caress, not at those prices...

Iirc there's a particular piece or three that only come in that set and like one other that can be very expensive.

I'm sad that none of 2017's Creator sets satisfy my lust for planes. Airshow Aces and Island Adventures do not scratch my itch.

Man, this is taking awhile (which is great!) and it is slowly getting bigger. This is only stage 1, about to open the fifth (of 12) bag to finish off stage 1 by the looks of it. Has taken 3 hours but I'm watching netflix and have made a fire in that time as well (first day of winter and all) I'm very glad I ook today off to buy and build this.

This is bad. I've never noticed how bad the store was. It doesn't even give any indication of screen loading. Weird.

I've successfully added it to my bag repeatedly (sometimes as many as 7 at a time when it catches up with me), but any time I try to enter a zip code, it doesn't recognize it, and you can't proceed to checkout without a valid zip.

I got logged in. Got to the first page after you click checkout. Then nothing. Now I am logged out and it's not in my cart and I can't even bring up the page. When I try to login it does nothing. Awesome.

I'd guess that's a bare minimum for even the most podunk US Lego store. And since Barnes and Noble were getting them days ago...it's probably not going to be a severely limited item like Curiosity.

They should really be used to this by now.

I'm right outside of DC so a really populated place, I guess I'll see how many lego nerds are pulling up at 10 am tomorrow. B&N might be closer and less crowded though. e: The B&N is right next to the Lego Store, so I guess I'm driving to the same place.

I think I was maybe able to order one from the lego site despite living in a place where with some effort I could find a place to go buy one myself tomorrow.

I also got through and got a paypal confirmation. Still, if they have any left in stock in Bellevue or Tukwila tomorrow after work, I'll head out there and get a second.

And since Barnes and Noble were getting them days ago...it's probably not going to be a severely limited item like Curiosity. Yup, at least 30-40 behind the counter as the doors opened at the lego shop here in Melbourne. I was the third customer. There are only two lego stores in Australia and they're both discovery centres, not proper lego owned stores, which I presume will have hundreds in stock. I guess the store here will have heaps too but they could run out today still even if they had a hundred. I mean by the time I left the store 2 minutes after I bought mine 7 had already been sold at 9:33am. Anyway, it owns. My fingers are a bit sore so I'm taking a lunch break. It has taken about 4 hours to put together stage 1 (while watching netflix so probably half speed) and I did make one fuckup which I had to pull the thing apart to rotate a piece right near the base.  It owns though.
