JERRY! HELLO!

About how long does it take for customer service to ship out missing parts? I bought the giant Super Star Destroyer the other day, and got to the last step of the first part of the build, only to find that I was missing one of these little guys:



I requested a replacement through the website, I just hope it doesn't take forever to get to me :(

Based on where it's going, no one would ever see or know if I kept going without it, but I would know, dammit!

Edit: Oh hey, it's the same piece that's on the for scale "regular" Star Destroyer. Borrowing it from that until replacements come, hooray!

I think they're adding it later or something, I ordered it at the earliest possible moment and didn't get it, but yeah it's listed specifically on the cantina page as shipping out with the cantina for VIP orders.

edit: it's not listed anymore, did I really miss it? geez. It was listed as the promo on the cantina product page when I added to cart, but it didn't add to my cart.

I ordered one yesterday, the lightsaber was in my cart and was listed on my order confirmation page after I paid....then I got the "your order from LEGO" e-mail like two hours later and no lighsaber was listed. I e-mailed them about it but based on everything I've seen online I'm probably hosed. I can't remember them botching something like this before, but I could be wrong!

As far as fatigue, I don't really have it because I'm out of space to display sets so basically ever since the giant Millenium Falcon I've been buying sets and stashing them in my closet. One day I'll actually move into a place with enough room, ha.

There's not much Star Wars I want, but man I want that Nebulon-B set. I need to pay close attention to how to get one so I can grab it.

I'm guessing it'll be like the Bespin Duel set? Since this was also supposed to be an event exclusive, hoping it'll just pop up on the LEGO.com store at some point.

Lego has a marketing deal with Man United that goes past just the giant set, they have ads in the stadium and stuff too

I didn't know that and that sorta dashes my hopes of a Lego Anfield. Which is a shame, that Old Trafford set is pretty slick lookin'

The best one was LEGOS MEGATHREAD, such a good troll.

Do people buy/sell at all in this thread? I got sucked back in hard after a few years break and bought ~150lb of bulk over the past few weeks and will be shooting out a steady stream of old school space sets as I go through it trying to recoup some money.

I've also got some partial sets that I probably won't bother rebuilding (6075-2 big yellow castle and 7181 UCS Tie Interceptor) that I'd like to move along after I figure out what all is missing.

Depending on how "partial" that TIE set is, you may have piqued my interest there.

LEGO store probably puts stuff up at some dumb time like 3am EST don't they. I know in previous experience with Amazon they're generally "yeah it'll go up eventually" with no rhyme or reason on timing. Unless it's different with LEGO maybe?

Sorry, yeah. Here’s a quick and dirty screenshot of the list I was keeping. Anything red has been tentatively claimed by another goon, and ignore the prices — that was just so I know how deep in the hole I was.



Let me know if anyone wants anything at a pretty good goon discount. The only boxes I have are the two modulars and the batmobile. I’ll list out the actual set numbers tomorrow but everything was purchased this year from Amazon/Target/Lego store

Edit: wait I forgot I had that one in my closet already hahaha.

So if I was going to buy Barracuda Bay from the lego store, I assume throwing in a keychain or something small would get me the sailboat as well? First time in about a decade I'm looking at buying a new set.

LEGO rounds up for GWP stuff, just Barracuda Bay alone would get you the sailboat too.

I think this should pose the question of whether or not this set needed to exist. I definitely like Lego having more LGBT representation, and Queer Eye is a popular LGBT series so it makes sense, but it doesn't seem like a particularly good fit for Lego imo. I'm not sure what a good alternative would be, maybe a Drag Race set with a wide variety of outfits and some encouragement to make your own? Though with minifigs that may be too limiting.

I'm in the same boat, space wise. At this point I have more sets in sealed boxes in my closet than I do built and displayed.

I need a bigger apartment.
