For those waiting on the Castle - Admin provided the post below. Other than waiting on the instructions, it sounds as if they are otherwise pretty much ready to ship (let's hope).

 

******** and everybody else waiting for this set - the instructions are due to arrive Tuesday June 4, and Loewenstein Castles will start shipping immediately. The first sealed Loewenstein Castle in Europe will be the one we take over to Portugal on Tuesday for the Paredes de Coura Fan Weekend event. It will be raffled off on Sunday. We will also be bringing an expertly glued Loewenstien, complete with the official expansion. This will be the first time the expansion is displayed in public.

The “G” word ?

... and some fuzzy math... there will be a total of 2500. Sold 2499. Yet one to be raffled and one expertly g****. Hummm

[KShine]

WooHoo!

Your order is being prepared!

Thank you for your patience. We're happy to inform you that your order is almost ready. Your credit card was successfully charged

Still no hot shot carnival game for me ugh amongst others

Sent from my SM-G955U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

My castles just shipped!

Only science tower remains on my list!

Question, how many responded to address confirm Email?  I did not,  as I had received my hot shot and figured all was ok.  Left wondering now since no others have shipped.

I only ordered the fire truck, which is apparently on its way according to Bricklink, and I did not confirm my email.

I read that e-mail that action is only required if your address was wrong. As in, they will still mail to your originally selected address, unless they hear otherwise.

Also, I've received Hot Shot, Wild West Saloon, and The LEGO Story. Got a shipping notification for Bikes and Fire Engine, but have not received yet. Several more not shipped yet.

Live edit: Literally just received Bikes.

I 

I Haven't built much LEGO as the weathers been awesome.  I'm not worried about Bricklink so far so good ,other sets will ship out soon. thanks for the info folks:)  Here is a pic of my amusement park currently. Albeit little boring without the humorous/risque or downright UN P.C. mini figure posing that is removed for now.  Just sharing,  Little messy but Tough getting pics of my whole city, Its quite large and usually cluttered with build in place projects making it IMO less photogenic.

Love it! - It's great to see someone having LEGO fun (I miss having LEGO fun). There was a time (for many years), when every day was Christmas.

For those of you that paid with Paypal, were you charged originally with the order, or when it shipped?

[MusiKyle]

I'm surprised with as many people that have received orders there aren't more listings on eBay.

Built 3 of the 5 received so far.

That was my most reasonable guess was that they're being kept to build, or kept to hang on to for a while.  Even still, I figured someone somewhere would have bought 3 of something, you know, build one, save one, sell one, something along those lines.  In the US, there's just a couple of Hot Shot Carnival sets listed for $140-150 and a "pre-order" of the castle for $499... expanding to international just adds a single Wild West Saloon for $340 and a single The Lego Story for $225.  With all the shipments starting to flush out we're at a very interesting time, should be seeing more pop up for sale over the next week or two for sure.

And most are still available to buy, too. Will be interesting when the dust settles

Patience, patience... Sheesh. My Science Tower shipped on Monday, but is still in California (I'm on the east coast). Says I might get it NEXT Saturday...

[locidm]

My science tower still has yet to ship.

Same. I don't mind waiting but I am really looking forward to the ST and VR builds. Building the Lunar Lander in the meantime.

Bricklink's ability to fulfill orders might be the biggest challenge to them doing this again. They don't seem set up right to do this very efficiently. I've received 1 of 4 sets pre-ordered.

At least they seem to have their s*** together when it comes to packaging the items, so even if people are waiting, they are getting the items in good condition.

so already better than LEGO Shop at Home, Amazon, TArget, and Walmart

 

...altho waiting 3-6 months instead of 1 to 3 days is a bit of a bummer
