Today, New Elementary announced that the LEGO CUUSOO Exo Suit will be released in August of 2014! They also announced a logo. Unfortunately, there are no official images yet, but at least this gives us something to be looking forward to!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has been confirmed that there will be a minifigure included in the final product. Read all about it here: http://www.newelementary.com/2014/04/cuusoo-exo-suit-logo.html

Exo suit back available at LEGO Shop at Home in EU.

 

Just an FYI

back to TOOS.

 

edit. nevermind, had the US shop open instead.

I noticed the listing for the Rover is back up there too (as Sold Out). That had been gone for a while, no? Bit strange.

 

I think he meant available to order but TOOS.

edit on. nevermind, had the US shop open instead.

 

And the Rover thing as well... Not present in LEGO Shop at Home Spain at least.

Just got an ordering for 5 on Shop at Home in Australia. Order status is "Out of stock, expected ship date 30 Sep 2014"

 

I know these are becoming more readily available in the US but in Australia at least these things are very hard to come by and are selling for a premium on Ebay.

I'm hesitant on whether to pull the trigger (again) or not on this one... I have 4 already and the clouds of mass production have not cleared yet.

I've got one. That's more than enough for me.

Exosuit and Research Institute showing up on toysrus.com as new but no stock yet.

<scary>Still available from LEGO Shop at Home EU</scary>

Lego will keep churning this out till Christmas at least, but availability is still going to be limited from time to time.

The certainty in some people's posts is mildly humorous.

Mars Rover had a shelf life of four months, this could still be widely stocked, available to Christmas and still retire at the end of the year. It could also do a Delorean on us and be the bane of our lives!

Nothing like people passing opinion as fact eh.

That Delorean is going to retire some day and you will be glad you have them. Mark my words.

I found it quite easy explaining to a Dutchman in 2004, that despite Spain winning Euro '08, WC '10 & Euro '12 they would lose their first 2 group games in 2014 and go out of the world cup, the Dutch manager would go onto manage man utd who would be **** by then. Nearing the end of the conversation, following an observation of how the sun was shining through the blinds of the window and establishing with the Dutchman that "Blind" was indeed a Dutch surname not pronounced like "blind" as in the inability to see, there would be a Dutch player called Blind going to Man Utd, he said they hadn't had a player ever called Blind in the Dutch team. I don't know for sure how long 21109 is going to be around but more to the point, I can't convince any who thinks otherwise because a shorter run means more profit for them. And don't Lego know it.....

I think the point was that your statement reads as fact rather than opinion. It's a good opinion and one that seems to have a lot of potential, but it's still an opinion. The point being made is that waaaay too many folks around these parts state opinions as facts. We all know hotcakes sell, that parking lots are a great place to flip sets and that the Canadian border services folks in BC have better things to do than shake down people bringing home cube-vans full of Legos for their kids, but it is sure is annoying to continually read posts from people who come across as know-it-alls about Lego production when in truth 99.9999% (possibly even 100%) of the people around these parts know very little.

 

I'll leave you with my own little quote... "Opinions are like ..." Nah, I better not.

 

Note: That last part is meant all in good fun and in no way am I trying to rekindle the North America vs The Rest of the World debate from other threads.

I just think that whether you are in for 1 or 1hundred of these sets, the summer sales are ending, better short term investments or getting more of a set that has retired or likely to soon still has better legs than this set and there will be loads more on the way, I just checked recent eBay sales in the u.k and the sold prices are not high. I am yet to have funds to buy this set when they have been available, again shop at home has gone to "sold out" but you can still add 5 to your bag to get them at the end of the month. Last time they sold out you could only add to you bag a few days after, if it happens again chances are a small window will appear next month too. Lego must be making thousand of these and I think it will affect the production in numbers in other sets, with some going eol sooner.

Briefly came back in stock on Amazon- managed to pick one up, yay! Originally missed out on the LEGO stock The stores (Vancouver, BC) are saying that they expect stock to replenish in late October.

Alright guys, don't take this as fact, but just as a grain of salt.

 

My personal opinion is that this set and the RI will come back in stock briefly on LEGO Shop at Home on September 6 when they ship out the rest of the backordered RIs and Exos.  I think that this set will be available on LEGO Shop at Home for at least a week, but I think that the RI will sell out sooner.

 

Again, that's just my own opinion.  The only part that is concrete is that the expected ship date for the RIs and Exos is September 6th.  I could be completely wrong, so don't take my opinion and run with it and sell all the RIs and Exos you have.

FWIW, quite a few of us in the US already had ours ship starting Tuesday, myself included.

The money has been made on RI and when they ship their next production lines its going to return to regular price levels. For such a small cheap set you can bet they are going to churn out thousands before the holidays, same with all the minecraft sets.  Anyone who has those RI sets should sell or trade them as fast as possible. There were dozens of articles only weeks ago regarding the RI sets so obviously Lego is going to produce them in droves.

General consensus is that RI is done after LEGO finishes filling the backorders.  Exo on the other hand, is pretty widely available, with more rounds coming.

Who's consensus, Reseller or Lego

Who's consensus, Reseller or Lego

 

Well, RI has always been "Sold Out" at SAH USA since the first week.  Exo has been "Temporarily out of stock", with a constant stream going to Amazon, Target.com, Walmart.com, etc. and more available at the end of September at SAH outside the USA.  If LEGO wanted to make more RI (other than this current batch to cover the backorders), they could have easily done so instead of making tens of thousands of Exos.

Theyll both be back

They will either both be back, or neither will be.  Or one will be back and one will not.  Or both will be back briefly and then discontinued again.  Or Exo will be and not RI or vice versa.  There will either be one or more production runs of both, either, neither or no more runs of one or the other or both.  It is likely that I will buy between 0 and 100 more of both.  Prices will likely remain the same for RI, increase if supply is low, or decrease upon multiple more runs.  For Exo the outlook looks the same.  Mark my words, put it in the bank.  My Lego manager insider told me, his wife plays bridge with the wife of a guy who works on the board of directors of some place that knows the CEO.

Finally someone knows what they are taking about.
