LegoTriathlete Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 When I got the Mountain View observatory, the price rung up as $249.99 instead of $319.99. Did others experience the same thing? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$20 on joe vs dan Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) I preordered all of them..it helps knowing that I won't have to pay till they ship so like in 5 to 10 years [given inflation it's going to be a hellava deal] Edited May 17, 2022 by $20 on joe vs dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLover80 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Limit one is definitely slowing things down. As are the high prices. The EURO/USD gap is much higher than with regular sets. Very disappointed the Exporatorium didn't make it. Such a unique set compared to the modular construction site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_chaos Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Well I've ordered the Station, Chalet, and Construction Site. Since it's in a year's time, future me can worry about paying for it. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 They will likely end up having to open up the Steam Powered Science set for purchasing. Having one of the sets being sold at 20% off isn't an even playing field. I don't think any of the others sets had any chance at getting crowdfunded before the SPS set would have.

kumas Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) ordered all, sadly Steam Science set was above Chalet and Diner on my list, price of Observatory also less in CZK (4999 instead of 6999) Edited May 17, 2022 by kumas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPS was my favorite set, so I'd love for you to be correct but I doubt that. You only found out about the discount after clicking through to Lego. And even now with the error being posted here, it's not moving from 4th place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did others experience the same thing? Thank you!!!! I had this opened all morning considering it, but decided in the end to walk away form it at $320. Happy to pick it up at $250. Side note: I just finished Castle in the Forest last week. It is a stunning set, but I definitely didn't enjoy the building experience on a screen the same way that I enjoy building with paper instructions. It was harder for me to just get completely immersed in the build with my work email, etc a click away. That did make me more hesitant about picking anything up in Round 3, but again, at $250, its definitely worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgschmieg3 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Grabbed a diner and construction site. If it has the word "modular" in it, I have to have it! Thanks for the reminder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
