Careful, Ive tried to submit two orders and each one fails for actually redeeming the VIP. I think ill wait a while until it calms down so my CC doesn't flag anything.

Actually 2nd order was placed even though I got the fail message.  When I tried to re-order a third time with Space Coin code, it said it was no good, and I started to freak before checking my Order Status and saw that order actually was placed.

What is on the menu for tomorrow?

[Huskers1236]

As long as I have the code I'm good right?  I absolutely cannot get an order to go through any device but did get the code.

[KvHulk]

That became more of an escapade than I thought. After I placed my order it didn't show in order history.
Tried to place another order, it still accepted my code so I figured the initial order didn't go through. I then got an error.
Tried a third time and it said my code was invalid. (^#$%!$%!)
Started to call LEGO and while waiting checked order history and see one of orders went through.

SUCCESS!

Yeah, hold onto your code and don't order yet.  The orders don't go through and you get tossed right at the last part.  I was foolish and tried my code a few times and now my code says it's used (but no actual order placed).

Hmm, with the way LEGO ship lately, I would not put a 1 in a lifetime promo with an order that has a $200+ set

Huw (I think he has an account here too) is really salty about missing his Ulysses ...

Anyone have a spare one they can send his way

It will be fine either way.

The whole experience was awful. At least on other sites you can get in a waiting queue. All this does is increase the resale for those who did manage to get it. I mean, I really like the set, but I also really like $$$. I wonder how easily it will be MOC'd

Yeah, I guess I forgot some people actually want to build this thing and not to worship its minty box

[Steel6T]

My order errored but looks like it actually went through in order history

about 9:10, my email confirmation came through quickly

[joch29]

An order I just placed did not go through at the last page. After waiting 5 min, the order shows up in my order page. Hopefully it goes through, otherwise another call to the hardworking friendly CSR.

Same here, grrrrr

same here but the second order that failed went through lol

[Jbad87]

I ordered a minifig with mine and paid shipping. I haven't paid shipping in a long time. I'm hoping the gorillas in the shipping department cant smash the Ulysses box with a minifig.

Ah yeah, good call.  It's in there.  Just the one, so I didn't just wind up buying 3 Razorcrests!

I would worry about that keychain bouncing around on my golden Ulysses.

This happened to me the other day when I claimed my Space coin.  And I made sure I ordered when there was no major promo / new set.  Still got the same error and I had to contact CSR

Was thinking of this but wanted to save SW sets for May 4th.
