TheOrcKing Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm just going to get it for the minifigures. I mean for my own collection. But those minifigures have to be worth something on their own, right? I'm sure collectors and BTTF fans would be interested in buying the minifigs from this set.I think that is the plan for many of us. Just buy it for the exclusive minifigures and maybe fix the car with some aftermarket modding. I agree that the design of the Delorean is disappointing. A larger scale with more detail that captures the contours of the exterior would be A LOT more interesting. But maybe the scale had to be limited in order to accommodate a minifigure sitting inside? Remember how crowded the interior of that car was?That is true. Even >Orion Pax's minifigure scale version probably did not have room to seat any minifigures. His >UCS version here would have been too big for minfigures but man is it brilliant. P.S. I think someone mentioned this about the "Destination Time", how it reads 1958 instead of 1955. The video review says 01-28-1958 was printed on the brick instead of 01-28-1955 because 1958 was the year the Lego brick was invented. I would have preferred 1955. Usually Lego in-jokes are on the dot. In this case it's just confusing. The dates ending in "5" (1985, 1955, 2015, 1885) are an iconic detail from the movie. I can just imagine the heated debates and back and forth when TLG was putting this set together. "Do we reference ourselves or the movie? 1955 or 1958? Will people get it? This will define the set! HELP!!!"A number of people are annoyed with that shameless referance as they put it. I admit it is kind of quirky for a Lego set but does seem a little ridiculous just for the fact it never happened in any of the movies. Plus the part you brought up about the inside joke of each destination date ending in "5". Quote
M4x18 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Is it confirmed that this set is only available through LEGO Shop at Home and in Lego Stores? I'm thinking it is but not sure if I've seen that confirmed anywhere? I've never seen any Cuusoo available from a source other than those two. That is, as a primary source. Quote
Celes Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I've never seen any Cuusoo available from a source other than those two. That is, as a primary source. Lego Minecraft from Jinx? Quote
M4x18 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Lego Minecraft from Jinx? Hadn't heard that site before. I didn't say it wasn't available from other sources Quote
Grolim Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I've never seen any Cuusoo available from a source other than those two. That is, as a primary source. B&N had minecraft, so do Amazon in limited quantities. Wondering if they will do the same for this set.. Quote
Celes Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Hadn't heard that site before. I didn't say it wasn't available from other sources True, anyway if I'm not mistaken Jinx is a primay source for Lego Minecraft. Quote
mikeur86 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 so I called my Lego store today and they had fifteen of these and they were sold out...I thought it was coming Aug. 1st? Quote
JoshTX Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Some butthole on my local CL is trying to sell one already at an inflated price. 2 Quote
willy431 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 How dare he! Trying to make money on the lego secondary market? Whatever you do...don't send him an invite here! We don't need "that kind" on our........site dedicated to making money on legos.;>) 3 Quote

RogerWilco Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 This is interesting: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=delorean+lego&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc First listing has sold 21 at $69 as a "preorder", to be shipped the first week of august. Wonder if that person is going to get screwed by the LEGO limits being imposed. Crazy... Quote
rafcon Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 When I went into the lego store, they were already sold out. They told me they were told to put all Aug 1st releases on the shelf ASAP as the current sales period has been disappointing and they were hoping the early display of new releases would ignite sales before month end. One employee is going to hold me 2 of the BTTF sets but said what others here have said, that there is a strict limit of 2 per person in place for this set. On another note, seeing all the new CITY sets was very impressive and for the first time, I was tempted to pick up a few of those for myself! Still might... Quote
boomzoom Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 When I went back to the lego store today, of course, all the back to the future car were already all gone. Not sure what to do with the one I got yesterday yet. Sell it now? or wait? When I got the minecraft set last year, I sold it right away for $139 buy it now on ebay. Glad that I did because now minecraft is everywhere. It is also constantly in stock in the lego store. I am not a big investor. I mostly only buy 1 or 2 of the same set for investing purpose. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Both of my LEGO stores started selling this set yesterday but already sold out, said they will have more on Monday....... Limit one per customer :( Quote
Gondorian Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 There's some guy in Europe selling them for Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 I wonder how he is gonna get his hands on that many??? Its like we haven't been talking about buying limits for the last few days. Quote
BrickGuru2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Does anyone know if lego.com will make this available to purchase at midnight right when it turns August 1st? Anyone have past experiences? I would really appreciate some help! Quote
DSoldinger Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 They're sold out at my local store too. I called last week to see if there was a waiting list or anything I could get on- there wasn't. Now I find out that they went on sale 3 days early?! Bummer. Quote

Gondorian Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Sorry, I have not read the whole thread, but I just noticed that the incorrect date on the Lego tile "10 28 1958" can be edited, with black pen, to be the right date "11 5 1955" if you are particular about that date being right. Quote
jal4u2c Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Got my two sets tonight. My store only got 20 sets. Must not be as many Cuusoo collectors in my area because i seemed to be the only one in there getting these. Or else they are just waiting to get them tomorrow. My two sets have the incorrect spelling of shield on the back for whatever that's worth. I couldn't remember what the other spelling mistake even was to look for it. I like the box they used for it. I wish they would use that style of box for all their sets. Quote
