Dr Jedi Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Got a Lego modular, bowling alley and ruined house...though I'm really sad to see how far behind the ruined house is lagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelian Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 15 minutes ago, BRIX23 said: Yeah I'm back and forth on the bowling alley... It's a nice design. I've become a bit confused by what the final design actually looks like/contains. I started looking at it through the ideas page and it's quite a bit different there (more lanes and more insides). The description on bricklink says things like "gumball machine" which is seen on the ideas photos, but I cannot locate it in the bricklink photos. I feel that the bowling alley goes well with the hot shot carnival from the afol designer program on bricklink a few years ago. You can also kinda make it part of the fairgrounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Same. Looks like they will all make it. Plus the Venetian House, which is just so expensive. Going very slowly. I guess last time they let us order 3 and we were all over the castle.They let everyone order 5 last time.Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the initial limit was only 5000, if I recall correctly. Did Lego do any advertising for this? I can't find a single email for round 2 or initially for round 1. Only from August saying there are still some sets up for grabs. I wonder how much that will hurt the long-run performance of these sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belac Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Grabbed a Lego store and a Bowling alley. Orders went smooth. Not having paper instructions included makes them feel less like a complete set, but I'm happy Lego is doing the program. I was all over the first go around when BrickLink ran it and have done nicely on all those picks. Seemed like Those sets stayed available forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I haven't noticed any promotions/marketing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I haven't noticed any promotions/marketing I got announcements from Bricklink a few days ago and today when crowdfunding went live. But you'll probably have to allow that in your Bricklink contact settings. Edited November 9, 2021 by paulvdb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it'll be accompanied with complaints of inflated prices and hate for LEGO re-sellers 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have at least ordered the castle and the dogfight. Seems like there's been more advertising for this round. Considering this round just went live 1.5 hours ago and the Lego Store already has about 4000 pre-orders (at max 1 per person), I'm assuming resale will be strong for these. But unlike the original BL crowd-funding program from last year, there's no instructions provided. What kind of box will they come in?

Hate that instructions are digital and that we haven't seen packaging yet from round 1 🙁 Also curious how many of those 4000 pre-orders are for personal vs those bought to sell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLover80 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I know we're getting VIP points. What happens if the sets are still available for VIP weekend double promo? I'm on the fence for the Venetian and double points might sway me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since your card doesn't get charged until the set ships... I'm assuming that's probably when the VIP points are processed?

I'm guessing not but would be nice to know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what happens with pre-orders and points normally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarsxpress Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 so anyone know can you order a set and if it doesn't deliver for a year call lego and cancel the preorder if you decide you don't want the set ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncke Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Just pre-ordered the Venetian Houses, great set. The bowling alley, lego shop and ruined house look great too, but I think the affiliation and romantisation of the venetian houses will make it a popular set. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 As of right now, 4 of the sets have reached funded status. Only the LEGO Store is approaching sold out status (still has a little while). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I ended up with the LEGO Modular and Windmill…. The 2 sets I would be ok keeping if resale is not at a good level. I may even keep the modular regardless. Will be interesting to see where these end up, although the wait will be quite long… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keymomachine Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 And it's decided: Modular Lego Store, Bowling Alley, Mountain Windmill, Venetian Houses, and Clockwork Aquarium have made the cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Interesting that the Modular store is the only one even close to 10k and the other 4 all seem to be tied and holding at around 3200 or so. I think we may be seeing about 9k sellers on Ebay for the modular store. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That set didn't have the same purchase limit as these sets and sold out in under an hour. There's no way the majority of those purchases weren't from resellers. I'm hopeful that it will remain popular enough to be profitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
