Vinetu Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 TLG has a very good idea what it's doing. See Apple and releases of new iPhone. It's marketing 101 and it's called creating hype (here it's more riding on an existing hype wave). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 So, even when I ordered the Saturn V, it said it was backordered 30 days at least, I just got notification it's in the warehouse. Extremely faster than I thought it was going to be. I don't know if I'm some anomally, but I find it strange how when I placed the order, it was back ordered 30 days, and in fact a day later it's in the warehouse. So since I only order stuff like once a year online since I have a physical store near me, is this normal? Also, I've never ordered something release day either. So anyone else get this?Happens all the time... under promise, over deliver. I'll bet they have no difference in backorders placed if it says ships in 30 days or putting some random date as the ship by.Except Christmas... they are very specific at that point because people won't order on Dec 1st if it says backordered 30 days.

I've seen a million posts on Reddit of people watching some space related movie while building this set. How on earth (pun intended) can you watch a movie while building a Lego set? You have to watch the manual, you have to search for bricks.... you can't watch a movie at the same time, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DadsAFOL Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 AMZ is back to OOS. FBM price is $245 and FBA price is $249. Some acceptable QFLL margin there even with AMZ fees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more precisely: You cannot do two (cognitively damanding) things (properly) at the same time. Multi-tasking is a myth. Splitting up your attention between two or more tasks will always lead to inferior results for every task involved. For the best results, sequential execution is inevitable. However, this case is about building LEGO and watching a movie - so it doesn't really matter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say it 100% correct: The "desirabilty" and the "reasonableness" of multi-tasking are myths. But there might be situations where you still have to do it if you like it or not. For example if you are threatened to be killed by a bear and a giant seahawk at the same time - sequential execution of the two tasks won't help in this case ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skill of sensible prioritizing - one of the most underrated aspects of intelligence. Just as important as knowing what to do first, second, third and so on you also have to know what doesn't have to be done at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
