somebody listed it on UKHD... no wonder it sold out.

though its usually people looking for cheapo things and begging for free stuff on there, but some users of that site might have bought one.

If you want some comedy... start a post saying you have a promo code for a free Lego nutcracker. You will get 100+ begging replies, citing that their "son / draught / other would love one, please can I have one"

Someone should break their bloody fingers!

HUKD makes me laugh which is why I'm a troll on there. It's very rare that a deal is still available within 15min of it being posted. I'm surprised that they didn't say that 75192 was available in the Timbuktu shop as most other deals seem to be 250 miles away from where you live!

LOL - A free promo code deal would be hilarious, I may just do that. Even if just to annoy Gareth (who think's he's God's gift to HUKD).

Is this because you reload HUKD every 15 minutes and then buy 500 of anything that's worth a flip?

No, every 5 minutes and 750 of anything.

It was gone before LEGO sent me the email. Why can't they send it out in real time? I must be a VIP (Very Impatient Person) in their eyes, but no big deal as I'm buying mine from John Lewis for £399.99 in their 2019 pre-Xmas sale ;-)

I received the email from Lego at 10:40 but didn't actually check my email till 11:30 but they were still instock then so put an order in, hope those that ordered remembered to use Quidco as they are currently offering 10% cashback for purchases at Lego.

I enjoy watching tabby's posts and people's responses with relish. It really is good sport. Tabby lays the bait and they take it every time. Even some people who always respond must realise but they can't resist piping up. It's great sport.

Remember the recent Lego free gingerbread man code? People went crazy. About 120 people begging for a freebie

[andyposterfan]

I'm considering posting on Ukhd that the gingerbread man code still works (true) and I have a spare code (I do) to illustrate the point.

im resisting as I don't want 100 personal messages lights up my inbox with begging requests... it is tempting though

heres the last time it got posted:

I've just dropped some bait on HUKD for 75192. Let the floodgates open! I'll sit back and not reply (I've had 9 messages already) and then disappoint them all tomorrow saying that it went for £500 since the box had a slight mark on it.

Has anyone managed to sell a used/built version yet?

Update: put my MILF on FBM today and it sold for MSRP in just a few hours. Guy came and picked it up. 

Will pick up another one for personal build in a couple of years. 

All in all, the MILF was a fun ride. Hopefully get my VIP card soon...

lol, quite an entertaining read, say you have sold it after emptying the box and adding the parts for 75105 instead. At least they'll still have an official Lego MILF

LOL - 162 messages now, I suppose I'll let them sweat until it reaches 200 later this afternoon. I'll just tell them that I sold it for £400 as that was the highest offer. That'll rattle a few of them. I'll also say that Cardiff are offering the Nutcracker, London Bus, Snow Globe, 24-in-1 & Gingerbread House as freebies which they aren't of course!

Say MK or Watford to increase the footfall there

Legend! HDUK bait is too much fun. 

[andyposterfan]

Btw I could resist voting cold on that deal on UKHD, it's listed as £800 which is wrong.

"cooling applied"

when Tabby says "cooling added" on posts it really winds people up! It's great. Some even refer to it as "his catchphrase"

for those who don't know Tabby is somewhat of an infamous legend on UkHD. It's great fun to read.

Thank you.... "TabbyBoy" was actually used by an ex-colleague and she also has a tabby tom cat. She no longer uses HUKD and we just changed the email address on that HUKD account to mine. TabbyBoy on HUKD and on here were different people originally and it's now just little old me. Of course, I don't use that name on LEGO or eBay.

Please don't take my comments on HUKD seriously because they're not ;-)

Don't worry! Some UKHDers take it far too seriously and don't get your irony. In fact they even misunderstand when your actually helping them and being honest about a deal being bad. Some HDUKers really troll people for giving honest negative voting, when that's the the point... of a deal is poor its cold and you say so. Some users on there can't get their heads around it.

keep up the good work! Do not change your HDUK behaviours, they are spot on!

[lego rules]

is there another forum area where you guys can talk about whatever HDUK is?

[andyposterfan]

We were discussing a U.K. Deal forum that has been specifically covering 75192 availability. We've strayed a little off topic, but that's why we've been talking about it. Should be a link above if your curious about that forum (you may find it useful if you want to buy Lego from the Uk at low prices as that often comes up)

Nobody is curious about Tabby trolling folks on UKHD, whatever that is.  Create a UKHD thread if you want to talk about it there.  

[andyposterfan]

The point's been made and the chat is over. Play nice. No harms been done.

Don't know if this is news or not, but FWIW - A NYC store employee said they've been getting 75192 UCS MFs in stock to put on sale starting tomorrow. He thinks that all stores have been getting them and they'll be available online, too.

It seems that the MF will no longer be Lego exclusive in the EU..

I know, John Lewis should be stocking it from March.
