I have the table to put the Falcon in (and plan to build around it), but not the Falcon....

The table was custom made, incredibly heavy to move and not cheap, but will be worth it once complete.

Do you share a flat with Nigel Farage and Guardiola?

You can buy multiple.  They are still pushing the whole we are getting into stores first to get some in hands of customers and the we won't have for release on 10/1 due to the vast amount of online backorders.  

It's the same calculated repsonses to the general public that they have used on pretty much every anticipated release the last few years.  

Good for flippers that is for sure 

Interesting. So you can buy as many as you want in store on the same VIP card, as long as you don't buy them at the same time (assuming manager says 1 per household.........)........

per transaction?

just phoned local, they had 6 today all gone but they are trickling in, second load this week. I don't see any point in rushing to get one, would be nice for my christmas build though.

Got mine today.  Showed up at 7am and was 4th in line.  10th person (there were 10 falcons) showed up around 9:10 or 50 minutes before the store opened.

Only 6 of the boxes had wheels.

I guess the wheeled edition will be tomorrows first edition! ?

At this rate I won't finish mine by Christmas (and I started a few days ago)!

With seemingly all of the stores getting regular shipments, has ANYONE had a backordered/waiting for stock order ship from SAH?

Mine still is "waiting for stock", no change... But I'm really thinking about asking for canceling it right now and take my chances in Disney Springs Store next week...

Still "waiting", going to try and get one in store next week at my local store with their shipment...

If you hear anything about this store, lmk if you don't mind.  I've still yet to get one and starting a plan of attack at Disney.

Just called LS store in London.
"we have received unexpected delivery today we didn't even know about"
more to come next week.

so stock shortage was just temporary but not permanent.
snagging 2x vip october with VIP polybag makes more sense by now.

Almost all of the 1x2 brown plates in bag 1 are used to build up the structure to accommodate the technic support braces.  Worth taking a quick scan to see if you see an area that isnt symmetrical to the "other side".  In the end, likely not a big deal.

Sure. Apparently, Legoland Florida hasn't got any so far but expected to have some any time soon.

Nope, I was able to reach the Retail store directly.  Heather is always soo hard to get in touch with... Lol  She took my number to reach out to me when they do.  She's mentioned in the past about holding sets when they come in.  Not sure if they would do it with this one.  But realistically, no VIP card, no points.  800 points sucks to loose and I want the VIP card.  So, I doubt i'd purchase from Legoland.

I just got mine today at Glendale, CA store.  I was 10/12 and got there 30min before open.

Person their told me that no more shipments will be coming to the stores and that they are pre-sold out through the end of the year.  They also said 15k falcons have been sold so far and that they need to fire up the factory again which takes some time. 

She also mentioned that they will be printing out more special VIP cards because of it.  She sounded pretty confident about all this info but who knows???  Just passing along what I was told.

corrected VIP passes to VIP cards.

Yep, she promissed the same feedback to me. I hear you but in my case I only have a 2 weeks time-window in the USA to get this beast back to Brazil. So if no VIP points is what it is needed... VIP card I wouldn't have anyway. Although we do have official Lego presence in Brazil (about 10 stores in the country) we don't participate in the VIP program. I have a VIP membership but Lego won't send to me a card because my billing address is in Brazil... Third world problems...

Stratford Westfield got 8 today. Again unexpectedly. All gone by mid-day. Seems to be a similar pattern across all stores (at leaf in London). Looks like their getting on top of the issues and another week or two like this, then supply will have caught up with demand. Window for QF for 50% above RRP is closing in rapidly.
