10218 - Pet Shop

[oneknightr]

I looked early this morning and it was backordered 30 days. Then after brickman's post, it was in stock and available. Now it's 5/8 ship date. TLG needs to stop playing with my emotions!

I heard that TLC is now banning LEGO Shop at Home accounts based on how frequently users check the in stock status of PS and PC.  More than once a week raises a red flag.  Twice a day = ban, or so a little bird told me this morning...

@‌GhostDad

Are you being serious?

​You need to be familiar with GDad's posts to understand his particular take at sarcasm.

Dude, you need to stop drinking so much early in the morning. ;)

Just got one from Smyths Toys UK today with seal code 14S5 !

[GhostDad]

No, I wasn't being serious.  I had just come back from, well, checking the in stock status of PS and saw all these posts about it switching back and forth between in stock and backordered.  My serious take on lego bans is that it's like a weather forecast.  You can say 'it's more likely to rain in Seattle than Las Vegas', but in the end it comes down to a roll of the dice.

​You sound surprised? Previous modulars all cease production towards the latter end of the year. These should be kicking around in new runs for a while yet.

What is surprising is that lego shop@home never have any stock. Does this means people are hoarding this too much?

​I don't know about others, but I have 30 sets of PS. 20 PC.

Everyone be like "buy buy buy" and I'm over here  like "build build build".

Can anyone who buys one from Europe/Asia report on the box size and art and if anyone actually opens one any difference in pieces and colors? The new ones coming out of the USA have a slightly different size box and small mods to the box printing. Back to limit 5 in Europe is interesting also. This one may be around for a while yet.

​Can you share pictures of old vs new boxes ?

Lol there goes the retirement rumors.  I wonder if the same is being done on PC as well

[biking_tiger]

...hmmm... I'll need to look closely at my PS boxes, but the smaller one in that image has the old box text I believe. Or are there differences between the US/Europe?

[steakyboy]

My Pet Shop order on LEGO Shop at Home just moved from 'Waiting for new stock' to 'Backordered'...dunno if that is good or bad.

[BrickLegacy]

I received one yesterday from Shop at Home with 2015 seals (prefix was rubbed off).  I'm pretty sure the box was the same size as the others.

​That will be the one I sent back to lego shop europe as I just got a refund from them after returning the set more than a month ago

I have a Pet Shop box seal code 38R4 which has the box type of the version on right with 11" height which I got last year around October from Amazon

It is really terrible.. same story here with respect to my returned exo suits. More than a month ago, still no refund. It's always the same with Lego, even if I return something within a week I still have to wait 5-6 weeks before I get my money back. It will work out.. thank god I don't possess Exo's anymore.
