Just stopped by and queue over 150 but not everyone in queue buying so still a chance if you're not down there already

Reminds of that story where a few people did a social experiment and just started lining up outside some random door.  Slowly but surely random passerby's just started queuing, even though they had no idea what for.

Goes in sale at midnight but what time zone? Or does it depend what time zone you are in?

There are conflicting reports on sale time.  Multiple people have reported that communications with LEGO Shop at Home have said 08:30 EST 9/14, but historically it has been Midnight EST.

Just phoned local sah, 1 hour drive away to see if they had there extra shipment and was told they are now not aloud to disclose that information. Well that is me not getting one tomorrow, I'm not driving 1 hour to be disappointed. I'll wait for the discounts.

I think it is safe to say that no matter what corner of the world you are in, stay-tuned to this thread and people will promptly announce when we have successfully crashed the LEGO Shop at Home website.

That reminds me, if you're on a long-haul flight with a mogwai when should you stop feeding them?

Asking for a friend.

[giannini78]

Be extra vigilant folks.

To ensure safety, open the box, fill your pockets with bricks and walk home. Then return to box continue filling pockets with bricks until all you have safely transported all bricks.

Then memorise the instruction manual and throw it in the opposite direction to where you need to go, so that the rampaging mob are distracted.

Seemed very civilised and good natured. Polybags were being handed out by staff

I'll be there just to exchange the word with RBM lego letting him know that 60% of those people outside are resseler scums. He will shut down the party immediately i'm not very keen to be a part of this frenzy.

100% of those people have serious Lego related mental issues - reselling or other. It should be a queue to access Arkham Asylum.

So you are there then? :-) What number are you? First 100 are going to be happy since the display case is something special. Will have a unique serial with prefix 1138 paying homage to Lucas film and the next digit will be 0 to 100.

[Shewie]

I would let you know if I'm there.

I'm having dinner with my collegues right now like civilized people then I will come for a sec to see whats going on there.

I'm gonna ask one of my Lego store employees to sign my box.

It would be worth about as much as some other person nobody cares about. I guess some people see this as some kind of plus, but I would never want a set signed by someone I don't know much less pay a premium for it.

That's harassment.
