I’ve not seen one yet so I may swing buy TRU to take a look, but will NOT give them a penny of my money ever again. BTW... John Lewis sold 75 since my last post, they could be OOS tomorrow. If so, then I’ll be going in big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33Lego Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 they didn't hype it like they did with exo though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I’m sat on the fence right now wondering if I should just clear out the few hundred left at John Lewis or not. I see Amazon has it listed as #1 toy, but I take that with a pinch of salt. If LEGOs limit was 4, I’d order 4 right now to get promo set and free delivery. I’d also be gutted if I bought a ton at RRP and then Tesco had them on 3-for-2 later this month, but I will be setting the alarm for these!

CNH1974 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Limit at SAH is 2. Doesn't qualify for the 24in1 set. Admittedly last year's 24in1 set was hard to sell on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 It´s probably another Gingerbread House type blog hyping it in the USA. This one already has 1.5k shares after only 1 hour. https://www.facebook.com/amightygirl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We need the RI hype machine to do its job again. Otherwise this will be 2017 version of ExoSuit for sure Btw, the box is about 2/3 the height of RI and about 1/2 lighter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A set should sell on its merits, not because some random influencer gets paid to promote it or we get these crazy bubbles like Exo and RI had.

Perhaps first day sales in Europe aren´t strong (it´s a holiday in many countries so people are out doing other stuff) and that´s why you got 3.

Shewie Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Just finished building mine. Overall nice little charming set, Space Shuttle is a standout and minifigures ofc with many little printed details. but the amount of unnecessary tiny bricks used to complete stands (especially M.Hamilton one) is just absurd. overall I'd rate 7/10 Edited November 1, 2017 by Shewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
