Tie Fighter helmet because it was the first one? It's widely available right now and I don't have any. Should I?

Anyone else have their LEGO Shop at Home order cancelled because "it went above our purchase limits for the following items: 76199 tbd-MDP-extra-2-2021"?  I ordered the limit of 2... 🤔

Darn, not sure what happened to mine   Placed the order this morning, and got the cancellation about 5 hours later.

There's a VENOM version coming too

From the high res images it appears the patterns on the forehead are all stickers instead of printed tiles. That's a bummer.

I agree 1000%.  Such a shame.  

After reading the TLG annual report, it appears they could afford to bump up their use of printed parts.  I feel they do not fully understand the impact of stickers on sets targeted for an older audience.  I get some kids like the stickers, but there are sets purposefully avoided by me (and certain other AFOLs) because of stickers and to me that equals a loss of REVENUE$, even if it means to add a small cost to the production line.  Moving away from stickers would also align with their sustainability efforts, eliminating millions and millions of sticker sheets annually from becoming waste.
 

Im sure they have some complicated formula deriving at their @Max Profit and this may be completely anecdotal on my part, But I just dont see this as a loss for them. If anything it would be keeping up with the competition. (Mega, Cobi, etc all using pad printing).

I think for each set there is a certain amount of budget they can use for printed parts, in some cases like the recent wonder woman or the chinese new year sets there were plenty of printed sets. For this set clearly it is geared towards an older audience I thought the should have used printed parts. Not to mention it's a pain to get it right on curved surfaces. I usually don't put on the stickers, in recent memory I did put them for Diagon Alley and Carousel. I nearly got cross eyed trying to get it right for Carousel!

Looks much better than Carnage IMHO

Here is the action figure for comparison:

Both of these are horrendous.

[MarleyMoose]

Both look like poop IMO.

I admit, I'm not overly impressed with them, but they might be better in person. 

What would be really impressive would be an Eddie Brock/Venom - "We Are Venom" bust like below.

Interesting update for the “My Order Status” thread. I just got an email from Lego that my payment method needs to be updated on my preorder of 2 Carnage. I used the PayPal technique to get the Amelia GWP. 

Anyway, it looks like they have removed the set entirely from their website. I had it on my wishlist now it is gone, but even in my order history it just has a SKU 6345933.

I just got off with CS and they said it was a Paypal pre-authorization issue. She took a different form of payment and said they will ship out....we'll see. 

Order status on LEGO shows Carnage again and is in process....

Yep he is back. Guess it was something to do with the payment issue status.

Did I miss some list or did this just retire without warning?

It was supposed to retire just surprised they marked it so soon.
