Voltron Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Seems like this will be might appreciate more than the coins, I couldn't get page to load, once it did load said sold out, you win some lose some. Quote
Bartat Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Trick seems to be to just keep refreshing which is crazy since you would imagine that's the last thing they want when the site is under load. If you get the T&C page when this starts in the US just keep refreshing... Quote
nolan808 Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Apparently there was 3000 available in Europe so not as limited as I first thought Quote
coelian Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I wasn't able to get one, tough luck. So I called and was told the numbers are limited based on the contract so it's highly unlikely they will have any more. The customer service officer gave me some points, well better than nothing.

Expand this exactly. and as soon as the rewards center reappeared, the Ulyssees was marked as sold out. i tried calling CS a few times while waiting but couldn't even get through. not sure what kind of magic helps in these cases ?

Expand This sounds like the work of 'bots. No real way to compete with them. It's still over an hour away in US and the page is already lagging. Edited April 14, 2021 by melting Quote
eliminator Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 I'm still not understanding how this redemption works. Do I need to have purchased the shuttle? Or is the Ulyssees available to anyone? Quote

You don't need to have previously purchased the shuttle, it's not a Gift with Purchase (GWP). On 4/14/2021 at 11:48 AM, melting said: This sounds like the work of 'bots.

If it was intended as an extra to accompany the Shuttle, then it should've been a GWP. Maybe they wanted to extend the offer to people who had other NASA sets, but that seems incredibly idealistic of LEGO. It feels like they're actively encouraging the secondary market. Case in point: I have 0 interest in NASA sets but I do have interest in trading/flipping it for a set I do want. Quote

Huskers1236 Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Not even seeing the option to redeem the Ulysses right now. This is going to be fun. Quote

Talk about blanket statement to cover anything imaginable. The lawyer who tacked that on in the end was VERY proud of themselves.
