It can't be done yet. Complete strangers haven't told me how many to buy.

[Mos_Eisley]

It's the new world Ed was hinting at. New stuff is retiring before it's even released.

And no wall of text from Emazers or cryptic comment from Ed.

When you look at the new 2015 catalogue. The new sets are nice. But I cannot pass on the fact that many sets are remakes. Maybe the lego designers will take a sabatical and will be going backpacking in Australia for a year? To get some creativity back?

While everyone was bantering for the last hour or so I've accumulated 12 more and will continue to accumulate.  The warnings were there and no one listened.  

 

Ok to much time wasted, must go prepack these for sale in 2024.  Also packing up these Droids left and right

Now the wolf comes out of his sheep disguise. Guys!!! Ravenb99 is a bloody reseller! We are on to you now Raven. Us poor lego collecting enthusiasts will have to live without this legendary set. Bad karma to you Raven!

I'm in ATL right now, you shouldn't bother checking either lego store or the discovery center.

Man I go to my daughters wedding and missed out on the DO, stupid priorities.

Well at least I can still get the Flower Cart on 1/1/15 unless Amtrack23 bought all of those up too ;)

You're lucky.  I only got 8 total.  Had 20 in my Frys.com shopping cart, but as I was adding a stick of RAM for my computer, it poofed.  Took me forever to figure out what type of RAM I needed >.<

not bothering anything today with this weather!  Warehouse is like an igloo today.  I refuse to LEGO shop in the rain.  DC at least has the garage.

 

I was in AL all weekend, hit the one over there, nothing good.  Hasn't been much in stock lately at any of the 3 here.  DC probably the best just because no limits and such. Picked up 8 tumblers last week over 3 days in a row before heading out.  Told them I'd give them a few days off lol.    

[PurpleSnurple]

Are you guys in the UK or something? you're confusing me. Lego LEGO Shop at Home still says 1/1/15.

[lodibricks]

I think they're all puff puff & passing around the same strong stuff. I'm pretty sure it's not April 1st.

[trekgate502]

I think I see him, the 2015 Advent Calendar with Santa Jar Jar.

 

Who sa are you sa?

Brickset did a review:

 

ZERO STICKERS YAAAAAY. LEGO, what have you done?!?  It can't be... YOU listened?!

4/5? Seemed like he was expecting this set to find the remains of Jimmy Hoffa. It looks awesome!

[toycrazedchris]

The TRU listing appeared about 2am PST this morning... I didn't see any DO stock available, but they did have about 60 RI's.

Guys. I have been buying a few of these each

Month when I had the money. Now you guys have "missed the boat and will press f5 all night long.

So Ed, you are implying that we need to buy all new arrivals a.s.a.p. or it might be retired already after the first OOS and some already written off golden oldies will never retire or will be raised from the grave?

I have had enough with these riddler riddles. Time for Ed to give us our xmas gift and finally reveal the top secret info he has.

[Deejay]

Sold out in Europe

[labfreak7]

What is going on? If the set that everyone's talking about isn't the DO, then it's in the wrong thread and the mods should fix that.

Guess I'll have to see if I can find one in Los Cabos, Mex. in the next couple of weeks. I just hope the cartel won't intercept it in transit when I ship it home from there!

My words of wisdom to you is to have a Merry Christmas and don't sweat the small stuff.  You'll have at least a week to buy these before they retire....
