Ideas #007: 21109 - Exo-Suit

[No More Monkeys]

Seal codes on sets i bought from a Lego Store in the UK = 24S4

This is for Research Institute, correct?

[Tom J]

No, i thought this was a discussion on Exo Suit 

[Highlander]

I ordered 2 last Friday from lego, still no confirmation yet.

Anyone else still waiting in the uk?

[hendrikdejager]

I haven't received a single Exo Suit so far... not even 1 out of 3 different orders placed August 1st 11:00 Dutch time.

 

I am disappointed. I have had a total of 9201 VIP points according to them, that's almost

The two I ordered is still showing backordered and I ordered them on the 1st Aug. I've panicked and gone to the store and bought some there. They have shipped the mini polybag yesterday though.

Man, the part of me that hopes this doesn't ever come back in stock is loving this:

Not bad, but not phenomenal either. Those are all sold listings, not completed listings.

the codes will tell us everything .

European folks - please report what seal codes you see for RI. 

Received two RI's today, seal codes are: 23S4

[abri123]

Yes, ordered at about 8:30am while still in stock

I think it's amusing that you think you deserve better customer service based on the amount of money you spend, do you think you deserve better customer service than grandma that only orders once in a blue moon for her grandson?

Well, why did Lego called it VIP? I am sure grandma has no idea what VIP is.

[JM123]

I don't think anyone in Europe has received any who have ordered online?

 

Nope, didn't receive any Exo Suit.. 2 orders on 1st of August in the morning. Luckily, I got 2 of my RI's today.

Funny thing is.. I already received the mini polybags separately  corresponding to the 2 Exo Suit orders

I received both the suit and the girls yesterday morning. (Now I feel like Barney Stinson  ) FYI I ordered as soon as I could on August 1.

Thanks for the info

 

JM123 - if there is a delay, i.e product backordered they will ship polybag seperately.. mine is on my way but my exo suit's are not

Hello 

 

I don't want to be a "party pooper", but my 'closeby' lego store had plenty of all sets: 

 

> GE, HH, SSD, RI, Maersk, Exo suits - you name it. 

 

Unfortunately some customer snatched the last Exo-Suit away in front of my nose - but the clerk told me new shipments were coming. 

 

He didn't want to add extra Mini Coopers though (even though I had a nice amount), saying policy was clear: 1 per customer... But he went in the back to look in the old stack of polybags, and brought me a Mini Camper instead 

 

My online order for Exo Suits at LEGO Shop at Home wasn't confirmed yet per E-mail, so I re-ordered to be sure to get some with shipping date in September. And today I got compensated with 2 Mini Coopers out of nowhere!

 

 

 

All in all, I'm confident there will be more of everything. Why? Because after the Roover debacle, it seems the right thing to do for Lego customers.

Checked my order status, says partial shipment items back ordered.

 

When i placed the order exo suit was ship 4th september, the partial shipment must be the mini poly,

Same here. Store is even packed with heaps of suits and girls. Advantages of living in a low average income country where people usually can't afford LEGO... This is also an explanation for the large amount of Hungarian rovers on bricklink. They were still in store when they got sold out everywhere else resulting in risk-free money.

Not sure I see what you are saying. I mean yeah there are a lot of people selling them, but sold listings is what they sold for which is what matters. So some didn't sell at 70, but barely any sold under 60$.

 

For a 35$ set 5 days after it came out, Id say thats pretty phenomenal.

Wait for online orders to arrive to resellers. it's gonna flood the market...

[zskid00]

Yeah, I sold one quickly for $70 BIN but the other one is still there after a few days.  I am just experimenting with some quick flipping since I'll net ~$27 per set this way.  Most of what I acquired will be held for a longer period.

Maybe they need to send the inventory from Hungary to the US.  

[JM123]

I also checked the Lego prices in Polen, and converted retail prices from Zloty to Euro's most sets are equally or even more expensive than here in western Europe. I can image that average people there can't afford Lego so probably they are lagging behind and you should find sets there which are retired a while ago. Of course, when local people are aware they can make a safe profit by selling those retired sets online, then they will probably buy them.

There might even be a stray 10179 floating around Eastern Europe's LEGO stores...LOL
