May 15 VIP set?

[Jojoyojimbi]

my thoughts are the new lego set

[knarrff]

As long as we don't end up with a situation like with the Rovers I am fine with it. I don't need to buy whatever it is in the next few hours, I can wait some days and sleep now. Unless of course this would mean to miss the opportunity to buy it at all, but that is quite unlikely. There is no set with announced that has a limited edition like the Rover, or did I miss something?

 

I also wonder why nobody really considers the Bike shop here. It is a new set, apparently already sold in some places, but not yet available from Lego itself. Maybe because this would not be considered to be "special" enough?

Less than half an hour, common Ecto-1.

[trekgate502]

I think Ecto 1, will last longer than 4th sale that sold out under 5 minutes, but think it will go out of stock tomorrow...

No matter what set it is it will be available for a while because lego wouldn't sell all of the sets to only VIP members and not have any available fir general public for the actual release date.

I called into the lego shop at home the other day and asked the lady about the exclusive set. She said they were not allowed to tell us, but I asked if I guess the set right, will you say yes or no. she agreed to this and so I guessed it would be the ecto-1 and she said no, but that I would be very excited about what was coming. I don't know if this means anything as it is a lego employee, but we shall see

This is what pretty much happened with the Simpsons set when it was released.

You may be right, but my first thought was yes, just like they spaced out the May 4th sets to let average end users to order them throughout the weekend (not),

They may have plenty in stores if they go to stores, but I am not so sure if they will at lego.com.

That said if it is the mixer, I am not ordering any...

why are people anti mixer? Bad investment?

I don't mean to be negative, on it but it just does not look fun to own or resell to me.

[Guest brickcrazyhouse]

come on mixels series 2

[No More Monkeys]

Ecto-1: iconic, AFOLs relate, non-lego people want one

Mixer: whaaa? Mixer?? Wtf?

I don't think it is so much anti-mixer, we are all just super pro ecto-1 and all want one badly.

[baldilocks]

[trekgate502]

Has anyone seen this happen before at 12:00 or are we on a wild goose chase?

[Jen_Drinjak]

Could it possibly be an "in store" only promotion?

[No More Monkeys]

Worst launch evar! It's past midnight already!

[Hansomebricks]

Good call on the 12pst time. I am on Eastern Time. I always forget about the West Coast.
