Thanks.  Mine don't start arriving until tomorrow.  And I'm just one state away from Florida (if that is where they are coming from.)

I don't pretend to understand logistics! If one tries they will quickly lose their mind.

I must be living right.  Mine showed up in an oversized box and a ton of air pillows.

Thanks for posting. I see that the outside box had some damage. Obviously not an issue here since the outer box is opened, but (in general) do you consider that amount of damage to be 'acceptable'? I've gotten several sets lately with creases like that and I'm trying to calibrate my expectations. I remember seeing an old article (I think on Brickpicker) concluding box damage didn't affect value that much, but I'm not sure that conclusion still holds.

I sell slightly damaged and "MISB" simultaneously on eBay with no price difference. The slightly damaged ones usually sell last after a quick flurry of buys depletes my stock, but it is not uncommon for the slightly damaged to sell first.

Does anyone have data points on LEGO canceling orders trying to get multiple HP Dorm Room 40452 GWP? Thought I saw some mentioning they are strict on this, even canceling orders over a GWP??

This is why I asked the question. I'll keep searching for the reference post(s).

Start with this post and read the next two pages. I searched on "canceled" and this thread was several of the first 10 hits.

Thanks, was looking in all the wrong places. Sounds like it's not a risk. I've had two ship so far... but I'm going to leave it where it's at.

Back to the thread topic (my bad), I've had some of my SAH orders show up in 2-3 days! So refreshing. I get asked "what's that large LEGO box on our porch?" thinking surely it couldn't be my SAH order yet. Was beginning to think LEGO would never be faster than a week ever again.

I just went online to check a few order statuses.  I got this message.  Was something released today that I missed?  I usually only see this during heavy traffic times.

LEGO IT getting a head start on the excuses this year...

The Home Alone house just shipped, without the promo. That will be fun to straighten out if it's not in there.

Which promo? I don't see a promo being added when I add Home Alone to my cart. I thought the fugly car promo was over?

If it's not there, you win. Call and get the HP Dorms instead.

Just got off the phone with them. They said the Flying Car is out of stock, so he did replace it with HP Dorms. Yeah!

Awesome!  Mine order status is showing "In Warehouse" for both HA set and Flying car.  Guess I'll have to wait until it ships to see how it plays out.  Thanks for the update.

I don't show the flying car in my order status, guess it ran out before I got my order in last night.

I actually did have it in my confirmation.

just got off the phone w/ rep...they are no longer replacing HP Dorm room...just got $25 in vip points

She claimed that the car promo ended on the 24th (seems to be extended to Nov 7 in Europe) and no other GWPs available are they are being "strict" w/ the HP GWP.

clearly a YMMV sitch  

There must have been a glitch at LEGO's warehouse as I didn't get my Flying Car either.  I called and the rep asked me if he could replace it with another GWP.  He noted that the same order already had a HP Dorm in it.  I asked and they gave me the Barcelona Celebration GWP.  I'm happy.

Lucky you. I had the sailboat cancel from an order and asked for the FCB set. Was told no dice. Had to pick a $25 from the regular program. Lesson: hang up and try again. 

Anyone else's HA set stuck "In Warehouse" status?  I placed my order about 12:03am EST when it went live.  Other orders from SAH over the past couple months have been really quick to get here (some even next day).  Only thing that's different between them is I used VIP points to pay for part of it.  Maybe that's slowing it down.  Well and then there's the fact that it still shows the Flying Car on my order as "In Warehouse" too.
