Pseudoty Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just now, fuzzy_bricks said: Doubtful, they could barely keep other companies from straight copying their designs. Is there anything to keep them from making more than 5,000? Hopefully not. I could see them doing something like "Due to overwhelming demand", but we should know in time to cancel. Still available in the USA I grabbed 2 more on my secondary account. Castle 5K units > MBS 10K units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelian Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Seeing this overwhelming demand for castles, I don't know why lego refuses to bring a full line back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 can we cancel these like any regular lego order? or are there any special no cancel provisios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Schubert Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 funny how the high sales velocity of the castle increased the sales velocity of the castle. Also Crazy to think that I have 1/1000th of the total production amount headed my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ma-gic Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Got mine in just in time, almost forgot about this. No love for the rest, still on the fence for the fishing boat. Was looking forward to the Observatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Bricklink page and I only see the Sold Out button greyed out. I also went to LEGO Shop at Home and clicked the Shop Now button for the set and it brings me to the same Sold Out Bricklink page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I bought 5 x Castle Fishing Boat Pursuit of Flight Im not worries since I think we can cancel until shipped so we should be able to see how htings shake out. However there are 3 distinct negatives relative to last bricklinks offerings: 1) 5k produced vs 3k 2) No printed Instructions / possible inferior box presentation 3) For the castle - admittedly I am not a castle aficionado, but im concerned ppl already scratched their castle itch with lowenstein castle.

I tried readding and see the same as you. Sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Boat is now fully funded (just passed 3000 orders). The colors remind me of the Maersk sets. Might be good thing? Edited July 1, 2021 by oneknightr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
