jaxman Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Don't advocate such silly retirement ideas nothing ever retires! LOL jest I am sure my 11R13 boxes were just freshly made. Only if they came special delivery via a Delorean. Quote
slobey Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 LEGO Shop at Home Australia order arrived today seal code 51s4 same as the Germany ones. Still showing available on our (and I assume Europe) LEGO Shop at Home. Quote
NSolcz Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 For what it's worth, I contacted Lego Customer Service (Canadian here) yesterday to ask if they can "guarantee" that my R5 order will eventually be fulfilled, and if they can't guarantee I'd like to order elsewhere. The response, from a very pleasant CSR (as always) was that they plan to begin shipments on March 16th, and whoever placed an order will eventually have it fulfilled by LEGO Shop at Home. Again, for what its worth. Quote
Nick83 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 On European Shop: Yesterday : Available Today : Out of stock, Available 20th March Quote
Goodby1 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 OK...this is my conjecture: CONJECTURE. I really do believe that they are going fulfill these orders. Call me a "pie in the sky" hopeful, but the fact that they have placed the X-Wing on the site (when they could have easily just taken it off and listed it as out of stock) and then answered questions via phone in a VERY specific manner that orders are being fulfilled on the 15th, lead me to believe that there IS some order fulfillment strategy and that there ARE sets available. After this wave of sets is distributed, though, who knows what will happen after? But I do have some faith that the present standing orders will be fulfilled. If you have a similar experience of the lego online shop taking orders, making a firm date for shipping, but then cancelling, I'd love to hear it. I'm just a newb. Quote
JDLego324 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Add me to the list of BPers who were told by Lego customer service (yesterday) that my orders (from mid-Jan) will be fulfilled March 15. Quote

teohwp85 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Expected ship date - March 23 on LEGO Shop at Home as of posting Edited March 9, 2015 by teohwp85 Quote
asharerin Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Will there be resurrection for dead 5? Was it ever gone? I don't recall it tagged as "sold out" or "retired product" once on LEGO Shop at Home in any region. Quote
shortyz Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 These things must be selling like hot cakes, next batch shipping march 23. Im thinking this is a good investment, still pretty cheap and prolly pick up a few bucks around christmas time. Quote
Val-E Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) There is still time. Resurrection Sunday is in April this year and I expect this one will go during the first few hours of double points. Edited March 9, 2015 by valenciaeric Quote
Sandwraith Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 IMO both Red Five and the upcoming Tie Fighter aren't my favorite models. I have Red Five on Display, but not a huge fan of it. And the Tie fighter (while cool to finally get the basic Tie) is still sort of plain to me. However both of these sets together chasing each other on a shelf or something sounds awesome. Maybe add some lasers in LEGO form to have one of them shooting the other Not sure i believe that LEGO will keep Red Five around just to compliment the Tie Fighter, but either way i hope many see these 2 sets as "must haves" together. I have yet to really commit to this belief though as i am a smaller time investor and 2-4 of these would be my max, but i'd like to think other collectors will feel the same way about needing both to compliment each other, as i believe on it's own it's not an amazing model. Only have 2 of these myself at this time; but i might redeem some airmiles points towards the few that are still available on TRU.ca (these are slowly going oos, down to 16 or so). Again just my opinion, man. Quote

Again just my opinion, man. Anyone figured out how to put laser pointer inside lego enclosure? Though you would have to introduce some sort of foggy environment to make the beam visible... Quote
biking_tiger Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I mentioned this on the order status thread, but it looks like my Red Five LEGO Shop at Home order from December might be coming soon. My credit card was charged this afternoon, anyway. Looking forward to playing the seal code lottery. Quote

That is my story and I am sticking to it, Yep and if you all in the herd can just handle not buying them all right away, double VIP starts in 4 days.

Goodby1 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Oh... also, as of today, on Lego US shop at home, 10240 is listed as AVAILABLE NOW! Edited March 10, 2015 by Goodby1 Quote
Mos_Eisley Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 And this is why the seal codes tell you nothing other than that some set was put together on some date. Some people will say new seal codes so last batch, others will say new seal codes so this is in full production. You won't know which it is until it's too late. 1 Quote
