I checked at 1AM: coming soon, I checked again at 7:30AM: coming soon, I check it now (8:30AM): out of stock??? Lol. We are still waiting here in the USA, and the set is now 'sold out' in Western Europe already ???... That seems a little concerning to me as well ?...

I don't think it was ever actually "Available" Yeah probably, but why only change the status now? They must have known this beforehand? Maybe there is a QC issue? Does anyone know: let's say I order one now and they ship it on july 1st. Do I still get the fountain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehornedrat Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well, if you check out Jim's review in EuroBricks (and likely others as well), there seems to be a mistake in the instructions and switching the gears are out of sequence. A totally embarrassing and unacceptable error. Since this set is geared towards (rich) motorheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we saw in the video, packaging was all done manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenix_2k1 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think the Americans will soon be on board the disappointment train with the Europeans and Australians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well, if anyone got one they are going to be in with a nice flip! Perhaps it has indeed been pulled and they are going to fix the manual by inserting a modification sheet manually. That will look nice, won´t it. In other news, neither TB nor SOH are available in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Brickowski Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just unbelievable to see LEGO fail over and over again with stupid errors in new sets, press releases with false information, release date issues and so forth. Is it really THAT hard to manage a toy company properly? I mean there are a lot of more "important" companies out there which don't have any of those problems at any time. So maybe it IS the staff at TLG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, it is not a limited set, so if they are available, they will be so tomorrow morning. And if not available, well, we kind of already know now why not...
