brickolodon Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I spoke with a lady at LEGO Shop at Home, and according to her info there was only 4,000 deloreans for sale on the Lego website.

Exclusive Crawler # 3....same here....back from out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallwebber Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 4k for sale is what her info said. Makes since being mine craft was limited to 10k set initially. So, there must be 6k or less sent out to stores for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauromosis Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I am not understanding the hype...Orc Forge and Crawler, I get. This one just seems like a bad design that has no limited run (other than the typo situation which I doubt most buyers would care about).

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Doesn't hurt to try. Give them a call. Yeah I am pretty sure they will fix that. I have called before for stuff like the exclusive not getting added, etc. They always do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick2k1 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just an update. I bought my two BTF sets on the 1st but they sold out as i was making my purchase. got an email saying they were backordered and will not ship until the 22nd. Well good news, mine already shipped. Guess they realized what a loyal customer I am so they expidited the process :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneil21 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Had dinner tonight with my 23 yr old nephew and my niece's 26 yr old boyfriend (both in their so-called "dark ages"). At some point, my Lego investing hobby came up. When I mentioned that the Delorean just came out, they both got super excited. Neither of them are up on Lego news and they had heard nothing about the Delorean prior to me bringing it up. Fast forward to twenty minutes ago, I received a text from my nephew asking if he could have one of my Deloreans and he would pay me back with a set when his set on back order comes in. Basically, he was so excited for the set that he couldn't wait a few weeks to get it! Just a little anecdote, but the reaction of both boys/men gets me thinking that in the not too distant future we are going to be reading forum posts from newbies explaining that it was the Delorean that brought them out of their dark ages.

jaisonline Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The movie is popular - more than people understand. this is why. Yup. Heck, my home wifi's name has been "hello_mcfly" for 11 years now, By the way, I saw a parked DeLorean the other day and I only nought of Back to the Future. It was a sad day when that ride closed at Universal Orlando. At least, I still have my t-shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izenkranz Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Made my order for 2 on 8/1 fro LEGO Shop at Home and just got email confirmation saying they've shipped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowillsw Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The site is having technical difficulties but everything should work itself out, just give it some time. It's such a coincidence they have "technical difficulties" where they have specials so don't let you use your VIP or charging shipping. It seems like they are discouraging people to buy.

It seems like they are discouraging people to buy.I don't think that's he case at all......someone in this thread mentioned that their site may need a bit of an upgrade because it happens when there are specials are going on and too many people are on at once ordering. Doesn't really matter because they always make it right anyways, I don't even call anymore, it still works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legbrick Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Lego store in Indy allowed me just 1 Delorean... had them hidden in back room. Had to ask.... they'd probably remember me if I go back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I called my local Lego stores in Downtown Disney and Costa Mesa to see if they received a shipment like they said they would. Both gave basically the same reply: The day the shipment comes in there is a line outside starting about half hour before the store opens. The Deloreans are all gone before the line is done. She did say that if i call at 9:30 then they could set one aside for me. But I said no, that someone goes down there and stands in line, they deserve it over me. I know I can get it online...so I am not concerned about not getting it...I just want it NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducstar Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I went to my local TRU and was shocked at the retail mark up of SW legos. Most are 30% more than retail. The BTTF set retails at 34.99 but 44.99 from TRU online. nuts. I'm glad I bought 1 on Amazon and 1 on Lego shop for retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 You will find that aside from the exclusives and the occasional deal you can find when they do a BOGO sale, TRU is not really the place to buy LEGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 You will find that aside from the exclusives and the occasional deal you can find when they do a BOGO sale, TRU is not really the place to buy LEGO.Yep. Even with their "Buy one, get one half off" sales, the math can still add up to paying over retail, and here are the Brickshow guys to explain it!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj1byQKGYOg (That thumbnail is just wrong on so many levels. ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoBro94 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yep. Even with their "Buy one, get one half off" sales, the math can still add up to paying over retail, and here are the Brickshow guys to explain it! (That thumbnail is just wrong on so many levels. ) I've noticed some more stores in my area are using this tactic. A town by me recently had a sidewalk sale where all of the business participated. One M&P shop had all of there LEGO marked as 20% off. Too bad the only sets that were priced at retail were the new LOTR sets. They had some good ones that are nearing retirement but they were all marked up. I like how they have the new sets at retail and the older ones marked above... The owner must be on this site haha.
