Popculturology Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Just sent my order through. I wonder if the OOS message is also part of Lego still updating the LEGO Shop at Home website for this promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beartrapper Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 It would be really interesting if the mixer was the official begining of a summer carnival/circus theme to balance out the winter sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Free polybag isn't available until June 1st. I'll wait a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehornedrat Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hmmm, maybe this May 15th promo isn't supposed to be available for Australia and Europe (their respective LEGO Shop at Home is essentially the same in all these countries, Lego is shipped from Europe to Aus and NZ, & 'Back in stock' dates are exactly the same). Maybe this promo only just applies to US VIP members. Geee, either way I'm bummed too Mixer? I was expecting the last Microscale Minecraft or the rumoured new VDub. Its still saying available on June 1st here. Gonna buy it anyway. I'll give them till Sunday :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I love the Mixer, but I'm waiting until June to order. I want the polybag that goes with it. If it had been Ecto-1, I would have ordered a few immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njseale Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Oh well, will have to wait a bit longer for the Ecto-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areyounormal Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I am torn. I really wanted to order the mixer if it was the early VIP release but I want the poly bag as well. I don't like how they have structured that.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Cmon Lego, we all wanted Ghostbusters early!! Ah! Fine, if you insist, I will wait until June 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Cmon Lego, we all wanted Ghostbusters early!! Ah! Fine, if you insist, I will wait until June 1. Here's a rub, I will be traveling from June 4 until June 16. So if I order on the first it's either hope it ships really, really fast or that one of my neighbors remembers to grab the box so it doesn't sit on my porch for two weeks. Either way I don't get to build it until the middle of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like how they have structured that.... Agreed. Most who want this set will probably also want the June promo. Sure you can always order something different in June for the polybag, but to me it doesn't make much sense to offer this early before said promo.

I think this set's awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvertt Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think it's a very underwhelming set. Very unexciting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen_Drinjak Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think if you add the optional motorization it could be very cool. I agree about the polybag - the balloon cart looks like a great add on to this set. I think this would go really nicely with the Grand Carousel 10196.

I think this set's awesome though. . This is the second time I've seen this comment about the movie sticker. This isn't the same. Palace Cinema was released March 1. The movie sticker sheet came out 6 months later. There was no movie promotion going on when the set first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I had a good laugh when I googled "may 15th lego exclusive vip set". Your Micheal Corleone and Migration's shifter are the top 2 google images for some reason. That ought to leave non brickpicker LEGO fans scratching their heads. I wouldn't make so much fun of that. Remember Godfather part 3? Here is a fragment below: MIGRATION The Corleone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it not make sense? You can only get the movie sticker with the purchase of a Palace Cinema and we already bought one on day 1. So, in a way, that penalizes those early VIP buyers as they weren't sold separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically what you're saying is they never should have made it because the early adopters didn't get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yup just a promotion running at a different time. Same thing buying 75$ worth of stuff a month before they offer an exclusive with a 75$ purchase. Stuff happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically what you're saying is they never should have made it because the early adopters didn't get one. I understand what you're saying, and thankfully this polybag can be obtained with any $75 purchase. It just seemed wrong that the only way to obtain sticker was to buy a 2nd Palace. Steven's video game console analogy would be like buying a console on day 1 with no games and then finding out you can only get Mario Kart with a console bundle (thus never getting the game unless you buy a Wii a 2nd time). That would be ridiculous and I don't think that's even debatable, but I won't bother discussing this further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
