Darth Lego Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 So it's supposed to come out on the 18th? I just called my lego store and they they hadn't heard that it will be available before august in store or online Maybe it will be initially an online exclusive? I went back to the article I posted and it looks like the July 18th date might be a rumor or a LEGO Shop at Home online release date. Quotes from the article are below. Link: http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-cuusoo-back-to-the-future-delorean-time-machine-21103-official-images/ There has been reports that the set will be available on July 18th on Shop@Home but there are also rumors that it will not be available until August 1st. We will confirm the actual release date as soon as it becomes available to the public. Quote
mikeur86 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I know alot of people are hating on this but as a HUGE BTTF fan I am stoked about this! Quote
Diabolos80 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I know alot of people are hating on this but as a HUGE BTTF fan I am stoked about this! That's exactly my problem. I'm a huge BTTF fan, and I can't help but hate on this. Quote
jaisonline Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 That's exactly my problem. I'm a huge BTTF fan, and I can't help but hate on this. I agree. Maybe I'll figure out how to print the CUUSOO submitted version's LDD file and bricklink that version. Quote
Mos_Eisley Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Is that the confirmed price, or one of your uncannily accurate guesses? I guess either way, it's close or spot on!! I guess it isn't official anywhere, but it's the price. 2 Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 So it's supposed to come out on the 18th? I just called my lego store and they they hadn't heard that it will be available before august in store or onlineI really think there will be a SDCC one with exclusive packaging which will be available at the show, hence the 18th date. It will be available mid august for everyone. I guess we will see in a few days! Quote
brandon90820 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 i emailed lego and they said it will be available the 1st Quote
choppers605 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 anybody know if this will be a limited release like the japan cuusoo model that was limited to 10,000 sets? Quote
comicblast Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 anybody know if this will be a limited release like the japan cuusoo model that was limited to 10,000 sets? All CUUSOO models are supposed to be limited to 10,000 copies, but TLG didn't stick to it for the Minecraft set, and probably won't for the Technic Crawler. Depending on demand, they could end up producing way more than 10,000. Quote

Depending on demand, they could end up producing way more than 10,000. If TLG keeps breaking their limited edition limits, that's turning into some TRU-like shady business Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Sorry if someone already posted this. Quote
brickolodon Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 printed bricks...awesome. Lets found out about date....1958. Quote
brickolodon Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Sorry if someone already posted this. that's why!!!!......On January 28th, 1958 LEGO company patented their design of Lego bricks, still compatible with bricks produced today. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Why does this $40 set have printed bricks and my $120 Camper has a sticker VW emblem?? Shenanigans!! 2 Quote

Mos_Eisley Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 This set is available at SDCC but it is not exclusive and there is nothing unique about the packaging. Just a first chance to buy. $34.99. Quote
jaisonline Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Why does this $40 set have printed bricks and my $120 Camper has a sticker VW emblem?? Shenanigans!! I'm wondering due to the element used? I'm looking at my 10220 now and that element (type of a flat hinge) is more fragile than others. Then again, it doesn't explain why the t-shirt or poster were stickers as their flat 2x6s. Quote
Grolim Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 cool review. So glad to see the printed bricks rather than stickers. Quote
ExoBro94 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 So, after reading through this thread a few times I am unclear of a few things still. Do people think this is being released tomorrow? Like will I be able to walk into a LEGO store and get one, or will that happen on a later date? Quote

Like will I be able to walk into a LEGO store and get one, or will that happen on a later date? email i got from lego when I asked about it = "we will not be releasing this set on July 18. However, we will release this set globally on August 1, 2013. So keep an eye on or website for when it goes live." Quote
kerrmando Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I'm going to be buying 20-30 of these for sure! Quote
tormentalous Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 email i got from lego when I asked about it = "we will not be releasing this set on July 18. However, we will release this set globally on August 1, 2013. So keep an eye on or website for when it goes live." It will be available in limited supplies at SDCC and some European LEGO stores. It will be available globally August 1st. Price is $34.99 / Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I think if you didn't grow up in the 80s you shouldn't be able to purchase this set. All these kids have no business making money off of our golden era!! Quote
