I wouldn't be very worried if I were you. If it is the set for early release on the 18th then there will be plenty to be had. I highly doubt Lego would allow it to,sell out before it's actual release date to non VIP members on the 1st. On a side note the amount of paranoia and craziness and worrying that has been going on lately is ridiculous. Almost every set that is ever released, with the exception of a few,(zombies, LE technic crawler) being the only ones I can name off the top of my head, will be available to purchase without fear of missing out on it. I used to love reading and posting on these forums but lately people, not singling anyone out here, but people in General have just become almost obsessed it seems with stuff like I didn't get an order confirmation, is something wrong, should I call Lego? Should I order again? Anyone else have this problem? Your order ship yet? Am I banned? When is this set that isn't even released gonna retire and how much is it gonna be worth. I need to know now now now! It's ridiculous. Mods feel free to move or remove this post to an appropriate forum topic. Or delete it if it is too harshly worded.

Rob D. (agaethon29) built what most of us looked like early in the morning on August 1st.

Omg.. how cool is that! Hopefully I walk in a toystore in a remote town far from here one day, and its inventory looks like this:

Here are your two mystery minifigures: Onacanda Farr Juno Eclipse

People would notice that one I am pretty sure, however I scored an MSRP Green Grocer last year while being in a small countryside town.

I do not see the upside of accumulating VIP points. I use the $ off the next time I order. If you are banned, them points go poofed.

I'm in the 20+ catagory for the LEGO movie with a 6 and an 8 year old. I've got to be in the 75-100 range with Frozen and probably 500+ with "Let It Go" song alone. I knew it was bad when I plugged my phone into the car stereo on my way to work and didn't change the song until "Let It Go" finished playing. My daughter has me trained well.

I've got a seven year old and a four year old, so I've seen it at least ten times. Maybe not the whole way through each time, but enough so that I have about 2/3 of the movie memorized. Don't even get me started on the horror that is Frozen... All I'll say about that is I had a batchelorette party go out on my boat and "Let It Go" was the first song that played when they plugged a phone into the PA, I did a very good rendition at the top of my lungs. And then hung my head in shame.

I haven't received a single Exo Suit so far... not even 1 out of 3 different orders placed August 1st 11:00 Dutch time. I am disappointed. I have had a total of 9201 VIP points according to them, that's almost

Kurt...And Nirvanas' place in rock history was secure well before his passing.

Well if anybody thinks that the Tumbler will retire in a year, well load up on them, but I am willing to bet it will be out until at least the end of 2016, now if you have plenty of money to buy lots of Tumblers well buy them, but I would be getting TB,PS,HH R2-D2,Simpson houses and a few other Exclusives for 2015, and don't forget the Batman Ayslum. or if you think you can flip these for Christmas and make money well do it. but guys on tight budgets I would not be loading up on Tumblers until next year.

I guess that is my main point. The 10188, Ewok Village and Sandcrawler are all great sets, but they are "play" sets and not UCS IMO. The box art of a "play" set should show off its play features...after all, it was designed for kids. I always thought UCS were adult oriented display sets and should be treated as such. I really think LEGO has missed out on a wonderful marketing opportunity the past 10-12 years and make the UCS the "premium" theme of LEGO. They could have made many different types of UCS sets...boats, plains, trains, busts of characters, etc... Even the new Maersk Triple E and Tumbler would qualify. Just a couple of thoughts...

if the order shipped and haven't got emails, you aren't gonna get any.

GE... LOL

Thanks TOK appreciate you taking the time to review the files I sent and fix up my mistakes. The colours can be a bit confusing across apps and Bricklink and it takes a seasoned pro to find those. Hope this helps some folks.

Not just the mods. The paranoia and severe lack of patience recently has been bewildering.

I can't speak for the other mods, but I can appreciate a bit of sanity injected into the forum every so often. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

The Lonely Mountain set is due to be launched October 15th.

You would think at $50/hr you could afford a phone that doesn't double post all the time.

If that's not your style so be it, keep your criticism of other members to yourself.

For me, I wanted to add some to my inventory for 2 reasons. One, diversification, as I don't have anything like it yet. Two, the history of Mars Rover showed the the Exo Suit had potential to quickly double the investment. I agree that checking on the brick & mortar store daily for inventory wouldn't be worth it at this investment/return level. But ordering 10+ online from Target with a few clicks? Sure, why not. Aside, please don't judge others who choose to spend their time buying LEGO instead of getting a sun tan. To each his own.

I put in 4 orders of 2 Exo suits 5 minutes apart all using the same CC and shipping address, all arrived today, no ban hammer.

Inside Tour. Got banned while on the tour...that was fun. And "protesting" to the CEO didn't even work.

I received both the suit and the girls yesterday morning. (Now I feel like Barney Stinson ) FYI I ordered as soon as I could on August 1.

Yes, ordered at about 8:30am while still in stock

See, now I really don't like the new Sandcrawler box. If it was a regular STAR WARS set, cool...it looks nice, but it is a UCS set and it doesn't stand out to me. It's not classic in any way. LEGO needs to make the UCS boxes special. They are special sets. I want a mature look to them. Honestly, the Sandcrawler is not even UCS quality in my eyes anyway. It reminds me of the 10188....cute and corny.

Don't feel bad, when I first saw this thread I googled gold benny like crazy and contemplated weighing the 10 benny's spaceship sets I have stashed and tearing into any that weighed more. Then I said, ahhhh man they got me.

Not sure what the big deal is on 6862. It is officially marked retiring soon. It could take a while, but it is "retiring soon". Allocate what you need from this one and move on. When it officially moves to retired product call it a day. No need to read tea leaves on this one. If the SSD had the retiring soon tag most of the thread for that one would be empty. It is a formal communication from LEGO, take it at face value. What "soon" means, no one knows but them. This should provide an indication to finish allocating what you need and call it a day.

Not worried at all just posting on the forum for reference for others. First batch of Australian orders are on their way. Unfortunately I haven't been around long enough on the forums to know what happens with super popular orders

Target Australia has extended the Toy Sale to the 10th August 2014. So another 5 days with the 20% off lego.

It is in their interest to keep it as confusing as possible. Hmm, come to think of it, IRS is even better at that than they are...

I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend that saw on reddit that it will be limited.

If by bewildering you meant annoying then yes I concur

How could I have missed it... Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

I think weight of a set is the best way to calculate value. More ABS plastic...higher price. CITY sets cost more relatively speaking because some of the pieces are huge. The boat hulls, train tracks and airplane wings/body parts are very large and count as one piece.

Agreed - I built it this weekend and it's great. But the PPP is so skewed for all Architecture sets since the pieces are almost all really small. Sets with 831 1x1 and 1x2 tiles and plates can hardly be compared to large UCS sets on a PPP level.

For Apple fans...it's a feature. They usually possess a sense of superiority so they need the double posts to make sure they get their point across. *I own multiple Apple products, this was a joke. if you are offended you are precisely the type of person I am describing.

If I made $2 million per year, I would still do this. It's fun.

You might want to state your own views and points on people hoarding sets or using way too drastic methods on getting them. However what is your point on saying you earn more than $50/hr? Are you trying to imply something else? Are you tryimg to state that you are richer than everyone else here? We are all here in this forum to discuss about Lego, be it investing or a personal hobby. But on how much a fellow BPer's earn is not the point.

Lego 31026 Creator bike Shop and Cafe 8 unnumbered bags, two loose light bluish gray baseplates, and four manuals in the plastic sleeve.

Let's assume that at 3am EST it goes live and is sold out by morning. Then, calling Lego, all gone. Fun.

I heard there is a gold benny in some boxes like the c3po, over on brickset they said (with packaging) it weighs about 30 grams.

Actually, it's funny. I received both missing light gray radar dishes on Saturday and installed them. While doing that, I took a chance and placed both of those studs under the lights. perfect timing for your post. THANKS for the confirmation.
