European buyer here.

I just got charged for the sets I ordered. In my experience that means that shipping is imminent.

Update. The Old Train Sheds have been shipped.

Only other sets I ordered are Mountain Fortresses

Oh ya! We're getting high-quality boxes. As a Box Queen, I can tell by the box's closure flap and the hard angle of the panels joining together.

Looks like the same box we have been getting so far, no?

Ya, I'm probably being overly optimistic here. Upon closer inspection, that flap in "1" looks super thin, and in "2" it seems pretty flat and not protruding out like a thick high-quality box.

Oh well, hope for the best and always expect the worst from our dear friends at LEGO.

The sooner you stop caring about box condition the better your life would be

The instructions are better quality, more on par with an official lego set so I think that gives hope for a better box quality. Keep in mind the instructions are digital only so you can compare the two yourself but the 2021 instructions felt like you had bought a MOC off bricklink rather than an official product. There was a cardstock insert with a QR code to the digital instructions in those sets but that's it. 

The building steps look more like the ones you get with official Lego sets as you can see when comparing for example the images showing which bag number to use and the flip symbol. The previous program clearly looked like they were done from Studio.

I called Lego today about my orders, they are all expected to ship on 25 July (in Canada).

The Brickfan conveniently linked all the Series 1 instructions 

https://www.thebrickfan.com/bricklink-designer-program-series-1-building-instructions-now-available/

In a perfect world, we'll see a charge tomorrow and the Insider 40705 Micro Ninjago City Gardens drop.

However, I feel like the world is slowly turning for the worse — SOLITARY, POOR, NASTY, BRUTISH, and SHORT — all packaged in a Sh*tty box.

Meanwhile European market is being flooded by resellers flipping their sets for a measly €30 - €40 profit on a Train Shed or Mountain Fortress. 

The volume is crazy too, doesn't look too promising

These sets won't be "instantly retired" when 30k are dumped on the market all at once.

My card just got charged.

One of mine has been in Warehouse all day so hopefully ships today not sure about delivery with the Holiday. Once you get tracking see if you can have it held for pickup.

My card was charged for three of three sets and two of my orders (MF and General Store) have changed status to 'In Process'. Engine Shed marked as 'Backordered'.

 

Got my Mountain Fortress Castle.  Beautiful.  Packed Well.  Stored away.  Some day Lion Knight Castle will take on the Black Falcon's and the Mountain Fortress.  Volley Thunder Tally Ho Gents !

Putting this one away so Minty. 

Could someone explain to me .. what does bricklink sell .. MOCs?

I could probably never MOC something as good but I’m just going to say that I don’t like the decoration above the front gate. It reminds me of Medieval Times.
