Furious_george Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 I'd just like to say the huts packaging is WOEFUL. Quote
Out of the Dark Years Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) btw guys BB & S1 are back in stock at Myer for those who had cancelled orders about a month ago. Doesn't show up on the website but there is stock around the country. Edited August 15, 2016 by Out of the Dark Years Quote

Out of the Dark Years Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Ring customer service and see how you go. Quote

Just got a generic response, so don't feel it will be worth the time and effort. The dvd's with minifigures have already been flipped without drama. The one IST I ordered was for building, which I finished last night. Quote
Furious_george Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Anyone know if I can buy big w gift cards with a Myer gift card? Quote

Also finally received an answer from the hut as to why my IST I bought 3 weeks ago hasn't even shipped. Seems they ran out and may get some next month. Good of them to tell me. Quote

A1 quality service right there. I will bring actual hell fire down on them if my boxes arrive in a less than pristine condition Quote
Furious_george Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Anyone else enjoying the hand wringing and knashing of teeth over the Death Star ? No-one has even seen it yet the consensus says it's the end of LEGO as we know it. Cracks me up. Had one of these years ago I bought in a big lot of other sets. My son built it up,we decided it looked too much like a dolls house and flipped it for a tidy profit. Never could see why people thought so highly of this set myself. Quote

It just looks all wrong. Out of scale and with oldschool minifigs. As far as UCS goes, it's a bit of a dud. At least the Ewok Village and Hoth are roughly to minifig scale 1 Quote
Furious_george Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Ill still spew if the new DS is a copy. Been waiting for the next UCS for ages. Luckily our BWE should roll up tomorrow. Quote
Alucard1982 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Looks like my first Hut order will be arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to see what the condition is. Quote
Furious_george Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 My first one arrived half unboxed and a bit squashed. Number two just this minute was cancelled after a month of waiting. No compensation, just too bad. On another note , where is everyone finding the DS pic? I can't find it. Quote

My order arrived yesterday afternoon, the box was full of air pillows however some of the smaller sets did suffer a small ping (1 Red Creatures). Dr Strange has had a slight bend in the back but nothing to worry about. I'll be curious as to see how they go with the next one Quote

Another UCS spot wasted. Quote

Furious_george Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Fake? That would be interesting . LEGO getting into the disinfo game? I think it's real sadly, but I hope I'm wrong. Quote

be_inspyred Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 My IST order for QTY 2 was also cancelled after waiting almost 4 weeks Quote

Super slow postage, crap customer service and poor packaging make the small savings completely not worth it. New DS is true. Seen some new comparison pics. Makes AoH look like the inspired work of a genius. Quote
