kris_1973 Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 I guess the easy thing is to share numbers as they come in. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote
kunfuzd Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Ordered a pair on Sunday... Shipped and arriving Friday. Ordered 3 of each last night... Shipped and arriving Friday. Ordered 3 of each a few minutes ago... "Preparing Order"... expected to arrive Monday... Keeping my fingers crossed! Edited February 6, 2019 by kunfuzd Quote
NIevo Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 We will have to start keeping track as to which numbers we are getting as they come in. Quote

Graphicski Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 9 hours ago, Voltron86 said: Seems like the TLM2 BHs will be a PR disaster waiting to happen IMO, if the sets are truly limited to US only, can just imagine the amount of complaints coming in to Lego from people all round the world, seems very odd to go through the hassle of individually numbering a small price point item. If you're a reseller in US, these sets should be a no brainer, but I personally think Lego will release TLM2 BHs in some other form (2 pack) to rest of the world in due course My thoughts too. So many pi**ed off people if this is America only. I've already sent a complaint/query to lego and got back 'we don't have the release dates for europe yet'. So fingers crossed on the 'yet' part ?? 1 Quote
CosmicSpeed Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Yeah, not looking good for me if others have shipped already under 24 hrs fron ordering...Sent from my VS995 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote

They are their best customer after all. I’m confident rest of the world will get a turn soon, so don’t stress about it. Quote
Val-E Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Maybe I missed something but where has it said that Walmart has the world exclusive? If they had, then it would be printed on the box like the Comi Con ones and not some cheap afterthought sticker. No way would TLG only make 5k units just for one shop. Look at the spamming of TLM2 releases they have done, are doing and will do. If it had been a special edition twin pack, I could believe it but, as singles, these will be everywhere within a month (probably as store exclusives), or my name isn´t Mr Pessimistic.

Pseudoty Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Multiple orders of 8 (hoping for sealed cases of 4) of each placed this time yesterday all shipped. Just went back for more they are now offering a small discount if you bump out the delivery date but passed. I do think there will be an unlimited 2 pack of these and the other 2 limited exclusives Benny (?) Mayhem (target) although another version would be better for ROI so these should see $99 long term based on the completionist market. They are uniquely numbered so the big risk is other markets EU getting these as is without the sticker. Edited February 6, 2019 by Pseudoty 1 Quote

Shortbus311 Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Maybe it’s the ultimate Walmart sting to flush out resellers? Haha, I thought the same thing. They take note of which numbers are sent to which customers and watch to see which ones show up for sale Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote
Ed Mack Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Regardless of future possible releases, there should be a short term flipping opportunity for those who acquire some. Reminds me of the Darth Maul polybags from one of the conventions. It sold well for a month or two then LEGO released the remaining inventory. 1 Quote

waxwing Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Such a paranoid bunch.?. My orders of 2x 5 each shipped. I'll probably try to flip a few then put the rest in a box to forget about. Quote
joch29 Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 wow... the response this product got here, albeit a small sample, show me a bad sign for the present lego reselling market overall. Quote

ravenb99 Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) so are we rich or not rich??? hmm just the fact that they are only selling for 29.99 I'll go with the latter... Edited February 6, 2019 by ravenb99 Quote

Somehow 5k of these have not poofed yet... I think that is the only reason they are $30 on Ebay. Why pay more when you can still get them for $15+tax?Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote
Val-E Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Surely these sets deserve their own thread - otherwise the casual visitor will think they are underhoarded and no one is talking about them. Quote
