Of course, not owned by LEGO yet, but Bricklink sellers got first dibs on bulk buys. Pretty sure that Bricklink (in the deal with LEGO) were committed to buying the specific piece count (for the full order). It is likely the same with the materials, boxes, etc. that they ordered (so they had to sell all the sets, or take the loss). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Just got around to reading the press release. I would now like to gloat that I called it. "The additional production run will delay in shipping and release dates for crowdfunding rounds 2 and 3." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Anyone check to see if they had another Castle “glitch” today? I grabbed a Boat now limit 1. Edited August 3, 2021 by Pseudoty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They “accidentally” sold 10,000 units in the first round of just the castle. So today they did not release any more castles. Only the other 4 sets. So when it’s all done there will be 10,000 units of all of the 5 sets. They did limit buying today to 1 per account.

Al Legorical Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Looks like other than Castle and Boat, the others are struggling to hit 10K. Don't know about you but to me it suggests that "real" demand from end consumers isn't there, which also suggests that perhaps "investors" make up a larger slice of the pie than they realize (or care to admit). Still two weeks to go but orders haven't changed much in a week, and the hype has gone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still two weeks to go but orders haven't changed much in a week, and the hype has gone I saw an update that the splash page accidentally listed all 5 of the sets as sold out and unless you clicked on the individual set it would not appear to be orderable. Not sure that it will make that much of a difference with the 3 remaining. Hopefully they get their act together before the next round there are 3 sets I would like for personal build.

iahawks550 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 With the castle instructions being available to everyone, are there any parts that appear to be exclusive to this set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen the instructions yet. Not sure if lego is going to fine tune the set like they do with other ideas projects but the original would have had to be sourced from already existing pieces. From the comments on the set design page these were parts that had potential to be pricey: Dark Orange 2x2 tiles and LBG 1x3x3 arches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennugsmello Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Not sure if this years program has been effecting last years sets but the Lowenstein Castle is proving to be a big winner. Hope you guys picked some up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudoty Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 In for the Windmill and the Lego Modular which if limited to 10K will be a winner. Avoiding Ruined house over 4K pieces that mostly get put on crooked would kill my OCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoiding Ruined house over 4K pieces that mostly get put on crooked would kill my OCD. Ditto here. Those two are def my favorites. Would the Lego Store Modular be considered part of the modular line since Lego now owns Bricklink? I was also hoping for Anatomini.

Officially no but as far as AFOLs are concerned yes just like market street. Still not sure if we are getting a box with these or just a bunch of bags of sorted bricks and the pdf instructions. It would be nice if lego made that “LEGO” sign with an exclusive printed title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
