nolan808 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) It's on for pre order now and says it's releasing 30th November. Goodbye any chance of this doing well. Considering that was meant to be the end date Lego have probably already decided to release this then to everyone. Returns anyone lol?

hushed Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Didn't it previously say it was only available through 11/30 and wouldn't be available after that? Lies and deceit seem to be applicable words to use here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Fiat 500 in baby blue arrived today from Zavvi. Ordered on 9/1. Fedex International shipment. Pancaked because they shipped in a larger version of the foldover cardbox Amazon uses when shipping books. Sigh. Luckily I ordered 1 for personal build only.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think they care in there warehouses clearly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Oh dear, lol. I ordered from Zavvi as well. We'll see. All good from Zavvi so far, but I've probably just been lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weemsc54 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) My Fiat package arrived today from Zavvi in excellent shape...unfortunately they sent the wrong set. 🥸 Edited September 8, 2021 by weemsc54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I don't think that I have ever received a Zavvi that wasn't smashed badly. Sometimes if I order 3 of a set, the center one will be protected a bit by the other 2 sets taking the hit. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, one end of each box was sliced open so the set could have just slid out of the box... I am guessing that was from customs inspection.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Mine arrived today as well. Luckily not pancaked, but did have damage on the face at both ends from being squished during shipping. It was one set in a box big enough for probably five of them along with a ridiculous amount of air pillows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a Falcon that arrived in perfect condition yesterday, and the Porsche I ordered with the Blue Fiat arrived in perfect condition today.

That explains why my 42098 from last year arrived in rough shape with a slice in the box and no shipping box. I just completed the build, so all was there, but still. Yikes.

StLBrian Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Like many, mine also came crushed. I bought it for (eventual) resale. Are those with crushed boxes still planning on holding them, or are you going to try to return them? Has anyone had luck getting a discount from Zavvi for box damage?I’ve had luck getting Amazon and Lego to refund 10%, but this is my first order from Zavvi.

BaconBits Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I have had good luck getting a % refund on damaged sets in the past from Zavvi. Use the chat to contact them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they shorted me a $200 set and the one I did get was crushed. It was all I could do Jyst to have them refund the money fir the missing set. But besides that one bad experience I’ve had good luck with them as well as with their parent company iWoot.com. And my 3 blue fiats came today in fine condition.

gmpirate Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Per Lego Store Manager: Only Europe has it and Zavvi is the only one delivering here. The color option thing is something Lego is experimenting with, but the color options should make their way to Shop@Home at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's still available on the Zavvi uk site, maybe they sold out of their allocation. Or Lego told them to stop offering it overseas ?

CosmicSpeed Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Mine actually arrived yesterday in nearly perfect shape. Zaavi used a huge box and overfilled it with air pockets, now I wish I would have gotten more than just a personal build but it will still be fun.

Bold-Arrow Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 My sets arrived in great condition for a change. My luck with Zavvi has been poor for the most part.

Brystheguy Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Five beauties from Zavvi. I've actually had really good luck with them. I got five ocean explorer ships yesterday in the same shape.
