I don't know if this is some sort of cache propagation issue or what, but I was seeing "currently unavailable online" for quite a while, when you were still saying that it was available.

i am not quite sure (but i don't think so. since i use the private browsing on safari) . the last order i placed was 4:59 PST based on the email confirmation i got. so i will have to say that it was available it then. and little later.

 

btw, price on amazon is going down on this one its now $59 LOL ...

What I do is save it to "My Cart" then when it becomes available the price will appear per unit and total, but in this case I had the quantity saved as 99.  I find this is a good page to monitor rather then the product page.

I received a box from LEGO Shop at Home today... only containing the mini cooper polybag.

Damn it !

[Ciglione]

I don't get it. You have to order for X amount to get free shipping. But they will send you a polybag for free. Where is the logic?

[stephen_rockefeller]

It only costs pennies for them to ship a polybag.

It is called appeasing customers whose purchases backordered ;)

*cough*

 

They ship from another european country, with the quickest and more expensive way ("chronopost").

 

If I wanted to send back my polybag the same way by myself with the same shipping, it would cost me 38

Well they can consider me not appeased.

The release of this set has been a shambles for Lego in Europe. Thankfully we're only talking about a plastic toy, so I won't be losing sleep over it.

I think when it comes to lego LEGO Shop at Home all logic seems to go out the window lol

This will be the rule for all new supposed limited exclusives. And it's not only EU, LEGO Shop at Home US also has displayed the same behavior.

 

Too many people buying a LOT of these, as we already know.

how do you do that with the item that is "currently unavailable"? i dont see that option (save to cart for later)

I think you do it while it is still available

[jerryherb]

I think you do it while it is still available

so in this case its pretty much never

I just got back from Las Vegas but the Lego Store in Fashion Show Mall (as of yesterday) has tons of Exo Suits and Research Institute but limited one per family.

Hmm ... $100 roundtrip flight... few shift changes... some disguise... tempting...

To me this means two things...

1) Stock is being re-counted

2) New production run

I find the first more likely... but maybe they got in enough orders to consider a second run. If the second, I'm guessing it will be available around Winter.

[No More Monkeys]

Boo. My TRU order for 6 was just canceled. It's been on back order since I placed it morning of August 1.

Which would imply that manufacturer told them that they are not getting any. Given that Bold still has GEs on backorder and he was told that manufacturer did not tell them anything about availability.

[newbie77]

lets hope target fulfills orders from this morning . i ordered a small boat load
