Has anyone received their VIP cards yet?  It has been 5 weeks now since first available for order.

I don't recall it being 5 weeks.  Thought it was 6-8 weeks.

From LEGO Shop at Home

How long will it take to receive the card?

It can take up to 6 weeks after purchase of the Millennium Falcon™ (75192) to receive the card.

care = recall. Lol  Didn't come out right as I typed on the phone.  But yeah the 6 weeks part, I've heard of no one posting that they've received it.

Nov 18-19. There is no free promo those days so it's better now unless you can somehow land the falcon those two days. The Nov Calendar promo is Nov 1-15 and the Nutcracker is black Friday weekend. 

I don't believe this is entirely accurate.  In addition to the 2X VIP points, I believe VIP members also get early access to the Black Friday promos, which would include the Nutcracker.

I do recall two years ago of triple VIP happening randomly one weekend. It was an email I believe that I got.

Does anyone have any idea when the stores will start to receive new stock of the Falcon? Any hope that they will start coming out next week before the double VIP points ends?

mine has changed to "in warehouse" (I ordered morning of the sept 14th when it was 30 day backorder)

they COULD be in stores very soon, but I wouldn't hold your breath

I'm sure it's Lego's priority to get it in stock and available during a sale.  My money is on first week of Nov.

I called my local store last weekend and found out I'm #2 on their UCS MF list.  Then this evening I received this email:

Your Millennium Falcon is about to land!

  • Today at 7:50 PM

The force is strong with you!

Your Millennium Falcon is scheduled to arrive within the next seven days.

Upon arrival, someone from our team will call you to inform you that you can visit our store to purchase your Falcon.

As demand for this item has been extraordinary, you will be provided a 48-hour window to visit our store to complete your purchase. If you are unable to make it to the store within 48 hours from contact, we will provide the opportunity to the next guest on our waiting list.

We look forward to speaking soon and for helping you take this amazing set home!

Damn, I was right about first week.  Lol.  So that means first shipments are to arrive then.  Sweet.

20-25 does seem like an unusually large shipment for this item. I would guess you're probably third, maybe second shipment.

Got the falcon is about the land e-mail. Woop Woop.  Top 15 at my store list, so that would assume at least a shipment of that amount.  So 20-25 isn't unheard of imho.

 

Edit: FYI, e-mails are coming directly from store managers as far as I can tell.

I hate to rain on your parades, but isn't it better to wait until this set is discounted, with promo or extra VIP points? I nearly went all in on the 10221 SSD at launch, but I was glad I waited when Amazon had them for over £100 off RRP. Even though the new MF isn't worth the money IMHO, I will still get one at some point and modify the arse as I'm really missing my 10179 now ;-(

This time last year, I'd have set the alarm to buy 3 at launch, but I just can't be bothered these days. More for you lot then and good luck to y'all ;-)
