Maverick2k1 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Confirming Lego stores are getting shipments in today. Just got two put on hold for me to pick up after work manager seemed reluctant to even let me get two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 BrickBabe and I waited outside the Paramus, NJ Lego Store from 8:45 until opening. We were, of course, first, but right around 10:00am others joined us. At opening, they claimed they did not have them in stock yet, but were expecting the delivery shortly. We waited and filled a PAB cup (even though the manager was holding two for us) because we wanted to see how many people/who were trying to pick up a 41999. I wanted to see some of the competition and learn their faces. Anyway, my girlfriend and I got one each and left very, very happy. Nice. Excellent condition as well. Had you gotten one there before? Did they ask if you had bought one already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakyboy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 TRU jacked up the price to $229 on their website and don't even offer it over the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoBro94 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Nice. Excellent condition as well. Had you gotten one there before? Did they ask if you had bought one already? No, this is my first pick up of 41999. But the manager did say that it was a limit of 1 per customer. BrickBabe was nice enough to buy the second one for me. My plan is to flip one of them to pay off both sets and also have extra to compensate BB for her time (and because she is just a great girlfriend ). I'm going to hold onto one for a longer duration and that will be ALL profit. Also, the boxes seriously are in the most amazing condition ever. It basically seems like they are right off the factory line. TBH i can't even recall the last time I saw LEGO boxes this mint. Oh, and these boxes are outstanding. I am very impressed with how they look. I never saw them in person until today and it made me almost want to keep one in the box under plexi forever. haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohens714 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I just got 2 at the Illinois Schaumburg location and they said they had more but wouldn't say how many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 congrats to everybody that got or will be getting this last shipment (I hope hehe) of the crawler. Here's your chance if you live near a store to get one or more. Would be interesting to know how Lego decided to break up the 20,000 sets between online, store and TRU with these staggered shipments. Here comes the second wave/flood of sets on ebay Maybe the listing/completed prices won't dip that much...wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ph4tb0i Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 congrats on the others from here as well. For those wondering why the box condition is so mint, the lego guy at one of the stores told me that they shipped these in much better boxes than the regular stuff. don't know if it's true or not but it's good to see we're all getting mint boxes.

c666187 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I just picked up the last two in Overland Park. There was another person buying one when I got there and there was a sign on the shelf that said limit 2 per. Minty-mint boxes.. Now I need to sell the first two I received so that the wife can see some real profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsrock507 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 attention nyc/long island brickpickers: the queens center mall has 4 crawlers left!!! (i bought 2) however they are not on the shelf. for some reason they are hiding them in the back. i asked the cashier if they are reserved for someone and she just shrugged me off. (maybe the employees are planning a brilliant crawler heist) so try and reserve a set over the phone. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon90820 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I just got 2 at the Illinois Schaumburg location and they said they had more but wouldn't say how many. Me and my friend just got 2 each there also!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Got 2! Thanks to those who posted here, I never would have known about this without you. I hope there are no more shipments, it seems a little odd that there would be another huge one like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there are no more shipments, it seems a little odd that there would be another huge one like this. Maybe TLG sent out the set in two different waves.

The one I got in store was mashed in shipping with the creases on the sides. Evidently your Lego store handles them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there are no more shipments, it seems a little odd that there would be another huge one like this. This is the last shipments of 41999 from what most of us have been told. My manager was super friendly this morning and he said that he is definitely not expecting to get anymore in. Today's surge was predicted. I posted about it about two weeks ago.

wesman888 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Lego store I only allow u to buy 1 and cannot reserve. Its first come first serve here in LA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohens714 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 It's interesting how the rules seem to be different at each store. I bought 2 at the IL Schaumburg store where they wouldn't hold any for me. Fortunately I was able to run by quickly and grab 2. They are all gone at that store by the way. Had a buddy go at lunch and they were out. I also see some people saying they would hold them and others saying they were only allowed to buy 1. I would have assumed the rules to be pretty standard at all the stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Tempted to call the closet store to me to see if they have any in. Too bad the closet lego store is 2 hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsrock507 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Tempted to call the closet store to me to see if they have any in. Too bad the closet lego store is 2 hours away. if they let you reserve 2 (my lego store did just that) it would be worth it for you to go... 4 hours round trip + 400$ profit on 2 sets= 100$ an hour.

ringonu Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 One left maybe more in the back at the Beachwood Mall in Cleveland. Alredy bought one and didn't want to press my luck with TLC or my wifeby buying two more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I guess the store closest to me is getting them in tomorrow. I can reserve 2. Anyone know how long they will hold it for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legofreeman Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Congrats to all who got them today! The Nashville store didn't get any. I'm wondering which stores did/didn't get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
