Flemdog33 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 If no more exo suits maybe time for prices to start to rise. Once inventory is burned through. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 But wait a minute... what does "temporarily" means in the status? And in Germany, it is still orderable with expected ship date Oct 2... Does not make sense! Quote
mahler24 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 well the email is in german but the exact wording is as follows....the artikal is no longer available so we have to cancel your order.....I will try again to order 2.....at least they sent me the free mini!! Quote

That's how folks here in US hoarded martian manhunters when big zoo and vampyre hearse were still orderable, but LEGO Shop at Home insisted they they don't have anymore. Not very ethical, but hey, how long should it take them to stick proper status on a web page?? 1 Quote
Pseudoty Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Did you get those for $2.48 each? Yes, I called and was told limit of 5. I wanted to order 31 to get free shipping. So they were $2.48 each plus $4.95 shipping, $7.35 after $10 VIP. The order number was not the usual nomenclature but similar to the order number when you get your VIP card. 300XXX not YZ123 1 Quote

I don't believe that was there before, and the price went back up to $5. Edited to add that they also detail the current promotion in the description. Edited September 16, 2014 by fuzzy_bricks Quote

No More Monkeys Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 santa shops from midnight preorder were just shipped. I think this is a new record for order turnaround for me... Quote
ravenb99 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 santa shops from midnight preorder were just shipped. I think this is a new record for order turnaround for me... Just got my ship notice right at the same time also. Funny seeing we ordered within minutes of each other last night. I guess we now know the answer to the Oct 1st question. Its today lol Quote

They just did not bother to have different wording for VIPs Quote
mykingdomforabrick Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Same. Shipping weight is more than a polybag as well Quote
No More Monkeys Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 decisions, decision.... order another 2? Quote
MartinP Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 decisions, decision.... order another 2? Order another two during double VIP points in October. Quote
mscheaf Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 My Santa's Workshops shipped already. That was by far the quickest turn around in the history of ever for me. Quote
newbie77 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 TRU just cancelled by 4X santa workshop order that was backordered since weeks ago... Quote
mscheaf Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 TRU just cancelled by 4X santa workshop order that was backordered since weeks ago... How did you have a santas ws backordered since weeks ago? It just went available to VIP for presale a couple days ago, didn't it? Quote
toycrazedchris Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 How did you have a santas ws backordered since weeks ago? It just went available to VIP for presale a couple days ago, didn't it? FYI - TRU has had two batches, one on 9/10 and another on 9/12. I got all of mine from 9/10 but all from 9/12 were cancelled. Quote

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 My Santa's Workshops shipped already. That was by far the quickest turn around in the history of ever for me. Just means you will not get any for your next three orders. Thats how this crap works. lol. Quote
exciter1 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Received my T1 and the goodies, my Santa's Workshops from TRU EBay, and my City Cargo Plane from Amazon. Now I'm waiting for those Santa's Workshops to become unavailable. My 2 Grand Emporiums from Amazon shipped. I also picked up a few more Daily Bugle Showdowns. Quote
mscheaf Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 So TRU was allowed to sell these sets before Lego did their pre-sale vip sale? Quote
emazers Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I posted this a few times before, but when Toys R US sells Lego sets ahead of the official release date they pay a fine to Lego, as does Walmart,etc. But Toys R Us might make alot of money fast, so if they can make a million Dollars paying lego a $50,000 fine is no big deal, just like when the Star Wars stuff was coming out from hasbro, the boxes usually said don't display until say June 1st, but Walmart,etc would put them out early and all stars who put it out early were fined by hasbro.

Ed Ahh. Just like when the SEC fines say Chase for bringing the world economy to it's knees and the fine is about .00001% of the money they made by being scumbags. 1 Quote
