Could anyone chime in that knows if it has only been the castle delayed from rd one or has other kits been delays as well?

I ordered one of each. If I've read all my emails, and assuming they're accurate, all 5 of mine have been "delayed," but I guess that depends on what you mean by that. The first email I got that specified a timeframe said ship by "end of January" and the first email I got that specified dates said all will ship by "2/8/22."

Currently the Kakapo is being shipped on 2/20/22 and all the others are being shipped on 2/9/22.

I think they did a dis-service by listing estimated arrival dates that was likely way too optimistic...and then they double down on w/ more wrong dates on email "updates".

They should just have noted:

Arrival Date: "Don't make us lie to you...You'll get it when you get it...Peace out!"

Thanks so much to everyone who ordered sets in Round 1 of the BrickLink Designer Program!

honestly it's mostly a handful of a part-time staff trying to replicate what took a global company like LEGO the better part of 50 years to get "right".

at least once it arrives...the quality is pretty good.

anyone holding their breath to get their hands on the sets

 

 

...should have passed out by now

[MotorCityMuscle]

Passed out a long time ago 

[SpaceFan9]

Just received a notice from the billing card that the payment(s) for my AFOL designer orders is now processing.  Hopefully we won't need to wait much longer for them to arrive!

I got payment processing issue emails I used Paypal originally and had to call and update my payment method on all of my orders. They flipped from BO to in process.

I also used PayPal for these, but I haven't got any email from them. Was it from Lego or PayPal? I just got the email about the Flight one being delayed but not about the castle, but online is still showing as BO.

The email was from lego. I think PayPal doesn’t allow charges after 6 months but not 100% sure. One of my castles is in Warehouse and the others all went back to backordered even though I was charged again for them today. 
 

Hi Pseudo, Thanks for placing LEGO order number T375XXXX on Jul 1, 2021.  It looks like there was a problem processing your method of payment so we weren't able to complete your order. Some common reasons for this are: An item was pre-ordered or out of stock and the card was authorized at the time of order, but is declined now.   Your credit card number or expiration date changed recently, or the card is no longer active.   Your PayPal account wasn't authorized because of a delay in shipping.  You can check on your order by visiting our Order Status page here, and we’d like for you to call Customer Service to confirm your payment info. That way we can get everything taken care of.

We're sorry for any trouble. Thanks for your patience as we sort things out. Speak to you soon, LEGO Customer Service

Odd. I got the opposite. My passage of flight set is being shipped and nothing about my castle or boat. My message and deduction from my bank was from Lego. 

[House Schubert]

2/4 castles have shipping confirmation, but everything 3 total orders) still say “in process” on lego.com

[glostik]

I got shipping notifications for 10 sets so far - none of my castles yet though.

[Pseudoty]

1 Castle shipped everything else still BO. 

[ponderingzissou]

All 3 still "In process" for me with no recent messages from LEGO 

Pursuit of Flight ordered Aug 2

Fishing Boat Aug 2

Castle June 30

[legorunner]

My castle has shipped. I had to update payment on it. When I spoke with Customer Service I was told that that my Fishing Boat was expected in stock in early March, just fyi. 

[Phil B]

Got a notice on 2/22 that my Pursuit of Flight was now postponed to 3/22. Followed by a message on 2/23 that it shipped  Got the FedEx notification today as well. I was a "late" orderer - towards the end of the first round.

Did you order the Fishing Boat first or second round?

1st Round.

How much was the sherrifs safe? Looks to be fetching close to $200 on ebay now

[Ogelwoc]

Checking BL, for the castle, couple sold in North America. Couple listing with one stating more incoming. If LEGO wants to stop reselling due to the fiasco in the first round, will be interesting if they d do anything or do nothing.
