DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 The people that buy big never click any of our affiliate links A note in a German Lego catalog stating "Limited" in red on the listing's page, and the word of the set's designer stating Lego told him it would be a limited release. That's the sum total that I've heard of its "Limited" status. Worth a shot And I just bought a decent amount off your links Jeff Quote
Quacs Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah, this one's a lottery ticket. Not sure whether it will cash in or not...we shall see in the next few weeks. Quote
oneknightr Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 "I have a bad feeling about this." Still available to order on LEGO Shop at Home (although shipping 8/15) and available at Target online? It definitely doesn't feel like a limited to 10K sets release. Well played Lego, well played. I'm still going to pick up a few sets from Target just in case it truly is limited in some way. Quote

emonster Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I'm not touching this thing...you guys are way too trigger happy! I might buy one when this craze passes... On the other hand, I really like the potential of the Wall ees. Hopefully that one makes it through to production. Quote
jaisonline Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah, this one's a lottery ticket. Not sure whether it will cash in or not...we shall see in the next few weeks. at least target.com's 90 return policy allows us an easy return (if needed). give us time to watch this set for a while. wish i did that w/ my BTTF sets... 2 thumbs up for target Quote
Deez_Brickz Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I am thinking about getting even more from target. The 90 day return policy is enough time to see of the exo suit has rover or delorean type of production numbers. Quote
anon33 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 The mars rover I believe lasted a while on the first day I believe. The first run of the 41999 lasted into the afternoon of the 1st day on sale last year... Sent from my SCH-I535 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
stackables Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Limited or not, it is still a great set and not too expensive. This is a no-brainer for someone who likes mechs. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah I kind of wasn't too scared to sink a decent amount into it. Honestly with Christmas coming up if this is widely available, it will probably be a good christmas seller. Quote
Ed Mack Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Limited or not, it is still a great set and not too expensive. This is a no-brainer for someone who likes mechs. 100% true. This set is a winner. For old Space fans like me, it's a must have. Quote
emonster Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 for sure the 90 return is a great safety! I take back my remark... spend, spend, spend!!! Quote
jaisonline Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Limited or not, it is still a great set and not too expensive. This is a no-brainer for someone who likes mechs. agreed. AFOLs and kids love space sets. then threw a green "Benny" into a Space Mech and bang, a winner. Quote
rubysue74 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Stayed up late to get my order in, & this is the first chance I've had to get on BP this morning. Needless to say, slightly let down by all the happenings. Went to bed trying to figure out how I could get my hands on 2 more, never thinking all I would have to do is jump on target.com today & order away. Limited schmimited! Will still buy more though.

Frank Brickowski Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 What I don't get at the moment: There is some rather solid hint at the Exo Suit being limited since a) the designers said so and an official LEGO publication had showed it with a "limited" tag ...BUT... Just because some retailers have the Exo Suit (non-orderable) on their site, all of a sudden everyone "knows" that it is NOT limited. What about the two official info pieces? Why does everyone ignore them right away just because of some Target listing which seems to have existed for the Rover, too. What is the difference this time. Why the suden change of minds? Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I just ordered another 5 but, shipping on 04SEP. Another miniMINI anyway. Quote
oneknightr Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Bought four from Target and will hang onto them until the 90 day return window to see if they are truly limited or not. The limit of 2 at LEGO Shop at Home and mini mini poly wasn't enough to get me to order from them. Quote
xeeeej Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 The people that buy big never click any of our affiliate links In for 10 through your link. Quote
4gotAboutDre Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Idk guys. My wife went by the mall this morning with the kids to pick me up one for my personal collection and she said nobody was at the Lego store and they had plenty of them. No lines around the building to get in and sell out. I'm not saying it's not limited but it seems like if they only made one run of these, they at least made it one nice long run.

cladner Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 just snagged another 3 from target - clicking affiliate target link first at top of daily deals page. target has a very favorable return policy. normally 90 days but purchases with red card get an extra 30 days - so basically you have until Black Friday to decide what to do with these.

beartrapper Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 TRU now has it available for shipping, but the cart is emptied once you add it. Quote

I'm not saying I disagree with this totally but just so you know a designers comment on reddit is miles away from being official. Quote
jaylay Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 well grabbed a total of 10 ... will keep a close eye on this like most of you ... Quote
fatboycarney Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I'm not saying I disagree with this totally but just so you know a designers comment on reddit is miles away from being official. Not that this will add much weight but so far no availability at Canadian retailers. This is vastly different than Ecto1. Sent from my Passport using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
