Redtree Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Will this be the early release in May for VIPs or is it the minecraft set? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 No early release. Could they have chosen a worse surface to open the box on in the video? Maybe a bed of nails or an industrial grinder? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some where that June 1st is actually an early release in the US. It will be available at LEGO Shop at Home only, and a limited number of stores in Germany. Then should hit most LEGO stores in July. Edited May 13, 2016 by jay4e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I love the packaging and presentation. It would be awesome if they did this for some other top sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too expensive, Technic not as popular and I believe many people buying this actually want to build it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bricksnstocks Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I would have liked and expected much less human involvement As a private company, LEGO probably is a big employer there and don't have any shareholder's pressure to replace humans with robots/automation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
