Well after getting through all 8 films and trying to work out which was the bigger mistake in the prequel films Jar-Jar or Hayden Christensens wooden acting, I finally finished the mighty Falcon. I've no idea where it is going to live until I get my man cave but it was definitely worth every penny. Next up will be to sort out some lighting. Plenty of room behind the engine tubes for led strips and the rear left compartment has plenty of room for a battery box. I don't care what price these get to before Christmas, I'm glad I built mine.

Would that be like a wife swap?

As you may know, the new LEGO[emoji768] Star Wars[emoji769]Millennium Falcon (75192), our largest LEGO set ever, went on sale exclusively to VIP Members on September 14. We are very excited that we received such a positive response from fans like yourself, it exceeded all of our expectations! Unfortunately, that also means the first batch has already sold out. The good news is we are making more as quickly as possible and expect to have very limited quantities available for the remainder of 2017. We have extended the VIP-only access period, which means the new inventory will remain exclusive to VIPs at least through November. To make your wait a little easier, you can now sign up to receive back-in-stock notifications. Simply confirm your interest below and we’ll email you when a new batch of the Millennium Falcon (75192) is available on shop.lego.com If you'd rather make your purchase at your favorite LEGO Brand Retail store, please call or visit your local store starting Friday 9/29 and ask a Brick Specialist to add you to the wait list.

Had it in the front seat but the seatbelt bell kept going off...

Stocks and mutual funds. I just saved you years of headaches. You're welcome.

He who controls the pumpkin spice controls the universe!

If this is ebay, you should be able to leave neg feedback and potentially even file a SNAD (box is clearly not in excellent condition) to get money back. Should be no fear for retribution.

Don't know what happened at Amazon Italy yesterday but I was quick enough to react. One of them shipped today, so I guess the order will be fullfilled. Now only to wait and see what's actually in the box

All dimensions are 30% off at target

kmart 1. receiving a 4 sets order in a bag 2. one set is a pancake 3. all 4 sets are the wrongs sets 4. all sets received cost less what i paid for original sets 5. i dont have any store close to me as all of them closed down

"No returns" on ebay is a sham. If this showed up in this state and it was obviously not what you paid for you will get to send it back after raising a stink.

Pumpkin spice... anything.

I called amazon CS regarding the Stress Free set they sent just slapping the label on the box....... I had decided i would keep it.... but I called them and they offered to exchange it... i hinted that I would rather have a discount than have to ship it back and they gave me 20% back..... Not bad for a 3 minute conversation....

I cancelled my order. Taking too long and I'll just wait for double-VIP and a good promo, or make your own discount at another retailer. No tax at Amazon and using rewards sounds pretty appealing.

check your email for targeted ebay bucks promo: 10% ebay bucks if you purchase using their mobile app which i've never used but will be giving a try shortly 8% ebay bucks otherwise.

Not looking fwd to a chat with their cs tomorrow .

They r using this info to help with their new receiving process. A lot of the weights in the catalog are inflated by mf sellers to get a greater shipping credit. As the new receiving process means a lot of missing units the accurate weight will allow their software to know if items got lost in the warehouse and need to be found or if the fba seller really did shortchange the shipment. This is a good thing as lots of units have been lost with their new and faster receiving process they put in place about 2 months ago.

I took my $5 and never looked back

I spotted a used R2-D2 10225 on Ebay for $150 + $3.96 shipping. It's the best deal I had seen in a bit and was able to snag it about 20 minutes after they posted it. $150 was my upper limit for this set, so hopefully it arrives and is correct and complete.

Wow, this is a really cool MOC (not my own). Benny's Falcon Falcon FALCON: Source: https://imgur.com/gallery/xRBag

just a note the dimensions of a box that are on the box are for the inside shipping size. The actual box is actually always a hair bigger so shippers will measure that box up 1" on all 3 sides which sometimes can put you in another DIM weight. Example 24x20x8 turns into 25x21x9 technically they are like 24.25x20.25.x8.25 but they do round them up

No, two options, buy over phone and pickup at pickup area or buy ticket and spend $25 (or in this case $850) then they refund you the ticket. Aka; shoppers pass gives you 1hr in the park for "free". This may not be all LegoLand's.

Based on the first 2 episodes, if you are hardcore TOS / TNG fan, you are probably better off watching The Orville TBH, the first 2 episodes look more like a prologue / prequel of the actual show, we did not even see the Discovery except for on the opening title. So it is hard to judge the feel of the show based on these 2 episodes. The Good: SFX is superb. To me, the graphics are movie grade quality. The spaceships look "real" with a lot of details. The space battle scenes looked dynamic. Let's face it, the Orville spaceship looks like lower budget CGI, even in comparison to older shows like DS9 or Voy. Discovery SFX is more inline with the new ST movies I like the chemistry between Michelle Yeoh character / captain, 1st officer and the orange alien science officer. The other bridge officers were not flashed out (for obvious reasons) I would actually watch a show about USS Shenzhou leading up to this pilot episodes. There was a scene about the first encounter between captain and 1st officer. I would like to see how 1st officer got from that point to the pilot. The Worst: the writing sucks or maybe it was dumbed down for the general public. There were a few instances when I thought "why the heck did they do that??" or "Doh, isn't that obvious??". The actors were doing their best with whatever they were given. The Neutral: I came it with very little expectation so I was not disappointed by the show. I can see the showrunners' intend even though there were flaws in the executions. I think the show is going to a darker ST universe, which has been done much better (IMHO) in DS9. I think the 2 episodes could be a great opening for generic scifi show, I do not think it was ST. I have similar opinion about the new ST movies. There is a chance the tone of the series will change in the next episodes, but woldn't that be dishonest to newer viewers who got hooked by the pilot?

I liked the Kylo Ren TIE. It's like his shuttle combined with an interceptor

the best part is where the god-zap upon the helpless seller makes a "DWUT!" sound. should have worn my depends today.

Happy to say mine has just changed to "in process" now! ?

I never asked. I finally got my order through, straight to back order, about 10:45am on sept. 14. On release date, CS said they anticipated by Oct 1st, but it was a crazy day and I didn't put much stock into it. I never called again. I'm in the south east US.

Mine just went to “In Warehouse “ status!

Same... Just went to In Warehouse!!!! WOOOOOOOOOT

My order has now gone from back ordered to waiting for new stock to back ordered to in process

So i did end up getting 1 yesterday. The hype sure seemed to have died down, 30 or so people in line on release day (i was there and turned around when i saw the line), and only 7 of us at the location when it opened yesterday, 4 of them were there since 5am, we got there at 6:30 i believe. They all did sell out though as people came in at opening time and secured the last 4, but damn i could have got a lot more sleep haha. It was fun though, dragged the lady with me to keep me company Pretty sure at least 1 in the line was dirty re-seller scum Still have my backorder, considering what to do with it. Even selling at $100 over is nice because you also get the nice chunk of VIP points, but that would have to be locally, no way i'm risking selling this on ebay. The one i picked up is for building as i'm so impatient, did up to bags 3 last night, very similar to 10179 inside, but seeing all the differences makes it more fun! The interior areas for the minifigs are so cool to build.

Finally built mine yesterday/today. Gotta say, there was a lot of ambiguity in the instructions.... especially with things not visible in the diagrams. I found myself uncertain multiple times in the Stage 1 part of the build. The upper stages were much easier to build. I liked a lot of the piece variety, and the build certainly is not too repetitious for such a symmetric build. Was not a fan of alot of the build techniques (in terms of stability as you went..) but the final build is very nice in your hand.

They cost negative dollars?

Received a BNIB 45101 - Fairy Tale Starter Kit for AUD$39 delivered off eBay. Like picking up these odd-ball sets we don't see much of in Oz.

I opened mine and used the extra 1x1 orange plates for my custom Mini Cooper and never looked back. It's sitting in bags that have been taped shut.

Speeder Bike Racing - Team SEXY Pants! by Andrew Lee

Really fantastic! Congratz

I take that over the freaky brick built Santa from last year

After getting one from Amazon without a box, I sent it Back. "Whenever I order one now I call Amazon up and tell them I want it sent in a box, and the last 3 have come in one of those perfect Lego Boxes and all were mint, So if you get one on Amazon call them up right away and them them. Here is the shortcut phone number. 1-866-216-1072

Small update to those who interested. Shipping to UK available 20GBP for pack, may contain more than one set in single parcel. Price 90GBP negotiable for more qts. ordered at once. http://allegro.pl/gablota-na-lego-ucs-millenium-falcon-10179-75192-i6963054383.html

LEGO should be ashamed of themselves promoting such unscrupulous reselling behavior. These people get two and I can't even get one.

They have been generous and giving . No complaints here .

I just received my Killer Croc set from Amazon. It came in no box, shipping labels all over it and marker numbers on it. Holy crap!! A little follow up... I actually contacted customer service which I seldom do now. I drew the line at shipping a large lego set without any packaging. Even Kmart at least puts the sets in bags Of course the customer support was fantastic and they are refunding me the total cost of the item.

Good question. Sounds like a great question for the BL forum - lob the grenade and watch the fur fly,
