willy431 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 They have always gone live at midnight est....on the dot. Though I still keep checking! How many lego stores are there worldwide? Multiplied by 10 sets each? Wondering how many were allocated initially for go live date. My store got 9....an it's smaller. Assume every store got 9 or 12. Legolands and discovery centers probably got 24 each.Where is the damn news reports like in willy wonka?! But daddy I want a blue crawler!Or at least a sesame street bulletin......do do Do. Do do Do...breaking news here...little bo peep has FOUND her sheep! Do do Do. Do do Do. Quote
TheDarkness Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 The Lego boxes though are really shiny cases full of used pinball parts Quote

There are 103 lego stores world wide - with that said, at 10 per store, we have accounted for 1,030 of them in the market. Quote
Polar_Beast Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Picked up one yesterday. Great looking set (based on the pics... I didn't open it even though I really want to ). Also, the box is super nice coming with a different matte finish, almost like it has a coating on it or something. I will definitely get 1 or two more in the future for sure. Quote
StarPod Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 if it helps my number was 16,103 my store had 10. i wish i new if they got like 16,100-16,110 Quote
boomzoom Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Hey All - Just got back from my lego store, and picked up 3 of the 41999 sets. They are very cool looking, and was able to get them in their original shipping box. - i was told by someone one the store i could only get 1, but when i went to check out, the lady behind the counter had no problem with me getting 3 - WIN! SO.... How many were you able to get? will you get the 3 sets out and take a look at the barcode area? There is a tiny 5 digit number below the number 6 of the barcode on the lower left. I would like to know if they are different in each box or they are the same. this is the only number I can see that can be the unique number. I asked a few times in different threads. I hope someone can provide the answer. I have not got the chance to go to the lego store to check, and I only have one in hand. Thanks. 1 Quote

Hello - All 3 of mine have the number 118789 under the 6 Thanks Quote
boomzoom Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Hello - All 3 of mine have the number 118789 under the 6 Thanks thanks! .. guess there is no way to tell the unique number in the box. :-( Quote
beeblet65 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 thanks! .. guess there is no way to tell the unique number in the box. :-( Who knows - hopefully there will be some way to tell without opening - if they packed them in order, that means i would have 3 in a row Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Anyone buying one to build? I am afraid I will want to build it. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Anyone buying one to build? I am afraid I will want to build it. I have never built Technic, but this one is one that I am fighting hard not to open Quote
beeblet65 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Anyone buying one to build? I am afraid I will want to build it. i have 3 - however am seriously contemplating if i want to get a 4th tomorrow to build.....would love to open one Quote
StarPod Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 I built mine today and it is awesome. There are so many moving parts. I just can't believe someone had the time and patience to build this from scratch. There are so many power functions. If I remember its 9-10? Quote
legopocalypse Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Just ordered my 2 limited Crawlers and 2 BTTF sets on Lego LEGO Shop at Home ! Quote

kerrmando Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Ugh wish I had seen that link three minutes ago... Quote

I really want to find out my number without opening it. I feel so stupid. My price sticker covered the first 1, so I only saw the 18789 number, and thought that might be the unique number. Thanks again for checking. Quote
