LEGO May the 4th US Specials!!!

[Guest ph4tb0i]

I notice the confirmation emails aren't coming through yet. But maybe that's just me.

I sure wouldn't want to be working in their warehouse the next few days...

Better than some canadian retailers that queue you through a 20 minute "virtual checkout" before you can pay for your order..

Very impressed. Thanks Lego + Brickpicker! =D

I got mine about 15 minutes ago.

I got the first confirmation email for one of my 5 orders just now.

[deanhuff]

I got my order in but the site now says sold out....sorry.

[jaybird1043]

I just got my confirmation email.

[tonysbricks]

I picked up one to build, it's a beautiful set on display.

[nolanfan34]

I had it in my head that I was gonna rush out and buy two of these, but now I'm not so sure. Here are some facts

1. There are only 47 sold listings on ebay. So about 15 per month.

2. The average sale seems to be 180 with free shipping.

3. The whole Lego community tends to agree it's a crap set. Who ever heard of a 200 dollar ucs set falling apart??

An unremarkable toy is still unremarkable when it's 50% off. And who needs another han solo? This is my first May the 4th since coming out of my dark ages, and I am woefully disappointed. I'm staying home. Just my $.02.

Even if all of this is true - if you can flip one in the next couple of months and net at least $150, then you're still holding a 2nd one for roughly $50, which for the pieces alone is a good investment. Period.

I got mine about 15 minutes ago.

Got mine as well.

[stephen_rockefeller]

I love the set, so I beg to differ.I seriously cannot believe how hard it is to please some people.......like in said before LEGO could be giving away the store and no doubt someone would complain because they had to pay for gas to drive there........holy ridiculousness Batman!!!!!

[Guest ph4tb0i]

Just got both confirmations. Not sure if this is an indication of the volume Lego was dealing with but the #s on my confirmations were apart by 10073. Orders were confirmed 22 minutes apart.

[hepcatpunk]

Got hung up on the Confirm part for 15 minutes....no B-Wings for me.

In previous S@H sales, I did not get confirmation emails until the next day but got all of my orders no problem. So I wouldn't sweat it :coolsmile:

Parts value alone is way worth it. I checked. ;)

[Diabolos80]

Okay, maybe crap was a bit of a harsh judgement. And the B-wing was always one of my fave ships, even over the x-wing.... Maybe I'll get one to build and hope it stays in one piece. By the way, anyone else concerned about how quickly these sold out? Maybe Lego only put aside half their inventory for this sale. Either way, the hype alone will almost guarantee an increase in b-wing sales at retail in the coming weeks.

[pickleboy]

Grrr no confirmation email yet but they did give me my rewards points....still nervous until I get it. I did print a copy of my order confirmation though...

[stephen_rockefeller]

I am guessing they wanted to eradicate their stock so they can release a revised version at a $150 price point. And it got great press and will get people into the stores tomorrow to buy other goodies.

I picked up one to build, it's a beautiful set on display. But I didn't think it was a good investment. Too new and too many unknowns this early.

I personally think they wanted to give people a good deal for star wars day.......I'm naive like that sometimes though.

[garrettu88]

Ordered mine around 12:15 EST and got my confirmation email around 10:54. I think I got it

[brickswomortar]

All I wanted was one B-wing. Thanks a lot to all of those people that gobbled up more than 5. So much for just wanting one for my collection. Greedy SOB's.

Limit would be 1 then ;)

Everybody on every Lego forum on the planet was talking about this for the last week or so....

You can always try the stores tomorrow.. :)

I'm actually much less nervous that they sold out so fast. I'm nervous enough about over saturation with this set and too many investors owning it compared to builders. I'm gonna draw the line at five sets and hold onto them for a good five years.

Hey, I'll sell you one of my five for $180.

I have a strange feeling it may open up again at different points through the weekend, so if you didn't get one, keep checking here or on LEGO to see if happens. Maybe they just shut it down and at some other point tomorrow and Sunday will sell another 1000 or so. Who knows, just a thought.

You can say what you want about how unappreciative everyone is, but the fact remains that Lego neverrrrrr discounts, and when they do, they discount their least popular set. A company with its customers' satisfaction in mind would discount something people have been waiting to buy but can't afford at full retail, like R2, SSD, the falcon, a brand new x-wing, etc. Let's not let our love of their little bricks delude us into thinking TLG is generous. They are not. They're the most expensive place to buy their own products.

Nah they just need to clear out shelf & display space for the new UCS X-Wing...
