Forsaker Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Lego’s probably doing all this specificly because of the Saturn V shortages/situation.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksBrotha Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) I had to order new SaturnV parts after my build from the Nov 2xVIP. 2 of the printed 'States' pieces were noticably scratched/faded. Also two red vertical holders had the clutch ring bent open too wide. *edit* I will update with a seal code and pictures of the actual pieces later. Online CS was excellent and my parts are due to arrive today/tomorrow, free of charge. Edited November 10, 2017 by BricksBrotha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know as well as I do that if people already ordered their limit in the past, new orders risk getting cancelled unless you call them to negotiate.

I know it is still in review but if they do release an umbilical tower, surely they will release a bunch more 21309's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyposterfan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Built mine today. Got to admit I wasn't to fussed about this set and didbt get the hype. Bought it anyway to see for myself. But now I've built it, I must say.,, ...really impressed. Really clever engineering and very satisfying. despite the amount of repeat sections it doesnt feel repetitive at all. Very sturdy too. (only grumble, lots of smaller pieces when larger ones would have done a better job. So it felt like they inflated the piece count a little. Not drastically but I'd say 50 -75 pieces could have been replaced by larger ones). really impressed overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some weeks ago I had ordered one with each account (limit 5 at that time). So I reached the limit with first order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in London in the week of 23-28 of November and visited the Leicester Square store nearly daily. Bought amongst others the Assembly Square, Disney Castle, Brick Bank, Snowspeeder, and London Bus (Creator Expert version) boxes. And I did bring those big boxes with me in the Underground (Piccadily Line, then switch to Central Line at Holborn all the way to Gants Hill ). Got them back to the hotel unscathed despite going at rush hour. So... yeah ... it's possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way that I'd risk £100's in damage as some London commuters are amongst the rudest, impatient and uncaring people that you'll ever meet. My girlfriend has a Toyota Prius so I may drive that in one day as I can use a parking space nearby for a couple of hours on a quiet weekday. I even walked past it last Wednesday morning and there were still huge queues at the door! LEGO... The Oracle shopping centre in Reading is crying out for a LEGO store, they have everything else - you're missing out on some huge footfall.

I will gladly dig up the Leicester Square store and take it to you as it's Hell to get to and to get in! Even though it's currently in the busiest shopping area in the World, it's impossible to park anywhere close and they don't deliver. I saw the new UCS MF there a while back, but how would I get it home intact? Being London, I'm surprised they don't charge an entry fee.

Though Intertoys itself is a crappy store to buy Lego from in The Netherlands because they hardly have any competition, and they regularly jack up the price above RRP. The Leicester Square store does do free delivery to Lego buyers who reside in hotels within inner London. Unfortunately the hotel I was staying at, in Ilford, was too far away from downtown for free delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the one in Westfield why stressing out going to Leicester where is always busy, It's mainly a tourist attraction not the Lego centre for AFOL Die Hards.
