Lion's Knight Gone...

So, I got the email confirmation for my Lion Knights Castle at 12:03. It eventually got canceled because I guess they didn't have enough stock to last 3 minutes into the sale.

Silver lining though, I just got an email that the 2 gift with purchases just shipped by themselves without the castle for $0 charge.

Crazy how they had so fee of those in stock.  I have seen others get cancellation emails.  I am hoping my Batman sets still come.

That was an embarrassment Lego.

Would be really interesting to see how many orders Lego received in the first 5 minutes of going live. I pre-loaded my cart with a Gringotts and was through the checkout before 12:01 EST, yet got the dreaded backorder email the next morning.

Moreover, a Lego enthusiast friend of mine did the same strategy with LKC, but had their ordered cancelled despite being through the checkout by 12:01. Nevertheless, they are still shipping the GWPSs to him as a goodwill gesture.

I wonder how many cancellations. Dumb to bother with a sale if stock is so limited.
