I guess I'm confused. Why would you miss out on extra SSD's if you don't cancel your order? Why can't you keep that order, and if other ones become available, buy them.....and then cancel your order.

 

You nailed it. That is what I mean... I go and look for a SSD at the same price (will be difficult) and then cancel this order. I do not want to wait for this one and then get the bad news it is not coming.

You have a good point Ciglione.

 

But because you had a discount on the first SSD, do not cancel.

 

If you can have another SSD elsewhere with a discount, than take a second SSD.

 

If the first one is canceled by the seller, you will still have the second.

And if the first one is ok, then you will have two discounted SSD. Not a big problem since it's under MSRP.

 

The only problem is that you have to pay quite a big amount of money, but if you are investing I think you can handle it.

Was that from the Lego website or another seller? I ordered SSD last week and it's on its way now!

So you're going to cancel the order because you don't want them to cancel the order? Sounds like my last girlfriend. "Nuh-uh! You can't break up with me because I'm breaking up with you first!" :-)

Lego won't charge your credit card until they ship the SSD, so you don't have to worry about using up the money available to you to invest. If you find another SSD at a good price, buy it, and then if Lego comes through and ships the original SSD, return one of them. Or as was suggested, keep both. At the very least you could flip one for about $50 (after fees) which translates into a discount on the other.

If they are bringing back GE, they might as well do another run of SSD, Ciglione mentioned that his european SSD order got backorder date of Aug 8...

 

When SSD came in stock at Target (before the last restock) one of my orders was delayed and at one point the expected date was Aug 8th. Then they came in stock last week and the order shipped. Probably worthless info, just found it interesting to match up with the euro date.

These threads get convoluted as we are talking about totally different markets.  US and Europe are not the same and do not function the same.  The upside of a global board is diversity of views/opinions, downside is that it muddies the details as the markets are not at all the same other than both have LEGO.  I will have two SSD showing up from Amazon today.  I expect the codes will be 20R4 (same as all of the others) which seems to be the last run.

We know that there was production run in US (19R4-20R4) and Europe (24S4).  US is at sold out, Europe is at "ship date July 29" (with more probably date of August 8, according to Lego Europe CS email to Ciglione). So, the question is, is this just an extra shipment from 24S4, or they are planning another run. If they are planning another run in Europe for SSD, and considering that all off a sudden we have GE in US coming back from "Sold Out", it is not unreasonable to guess that there could be another production run of SSD for US _if_ Europe is getting another SSD run.

 

There is certainly a chance that sudden resurrection of GE is a redirect from Europe (earlier batches of GEs were indeed coming from 'S' location, not from 'R'). But GE in Europe is at "ship date July 22". Which could still mean full blown run for GE as well (both in Europe and USA)

Yes...it would appear that LEGO is starting to treat US and non-US markets as completely different entities.  One gets discounts on exclusives, one doesn't.  One gets longer production runs, one doesn't.  Resellers get banned from one and not the other.  Damn resellers are ruining it for collectors like myself!!!

I somewhat doubt that SSD in Europe could have more runs(without corresponding runs for US), considering very asymmetrical demand for it between US and Europe (partially, I guess, due to price point and popularity of lego investing)
