September 3, 201411 yr Are there any limits on Shop at home? Has anyone placed several orders to get several Spacemans? I have 3 on the way so far. My plan was to place one more order and get a fourth and then stop pressing my luck.
September 3, 201411 yr Was it one of you that created the Amazon listing for the spaceman? www.amzn.com/B00LJYQH94 If so, you should add the words "Classic Spaceman" to your title because right now it's pretty hard to find in search. Most customers won't know to search for "5002812"
September 3, 201411 yr I don't see this set lasting until the 14th. I've got one on the way and will be trying to get 8-10 of these. Just a hunch they do really really well and not just short term. Great looking set!
September 4, 201411 yr I will get 2 and take the opportunity to buy a couple Maersk ships as well. Will hold those Spacemen for a couple months to see how they perform, but given their limited availability I really thing they are pretty much a sure winner.
September 4, 201411 yr I ordered a T1 and the Spaceman and Chima promos shipped separate. Fedex says the package is only 0.3 pounds, but the dimensions are 6x6x6" so it should be coming in a box, not a bubble mailer. It should arrive by the end of the week so I will be able to confirm then. Unfortunately Fedex has now updated the package dimensions and they are 13x10x2 in. so I'm afraid these are coming in a bubble mailer if shipped separately. Mine should arrive today or tomorrow and I'm hoping it isn't a pancake.
September 4, 201411 yr is this OOS already? I can't get it to add to my cart no matter what I try. Works for me, try clear browser cache, or try on another computer.
September 4, 201411 yr Oh I remember someone mentioned that you need to sign in before you add to cart, otherwise the spaceman promo won't add to cart.
September 4, 201411 yr is this OOS already? I can't get it to add to my cart no matter what I try. I just made a purchase and the Spaceman was added to my cart. Though it wasn't showing up earlier this morning like you said. I held off on my purchase because I wanted another and now glad I did
September 4, 201411 yr My first one came in today. I ordered a T1 and they shipped the spaceman separately. Arrived in a decent sized box. I thought it was something else until I opened it.

September 4, 201411 yr That would be about the dimensions of the box mine came in today. Is it a nice box? It is always a pain in the butt to find cheap light boxes to ship small sets first class in.
September 4, 201411 yr That would be about the dimensions of the box mine came in today. That's good to know. I was afraid mine would be smashed like the TRU pancake specials.
September 4, 201411 yr Is it a nice box? It is always a pain in the butt to find cheap light boxes to ship small sets first class in. Yep! Typical TLG box
September 4, 201411 yr That's good to know. I was afraid mine would be smashed like the TRU pancake specials. Have some faith in our benevolent masters
September 4, 201411 yr Got my first one today. All I can say is I hope they dont send all their ebay sales in reused brown paper grocery bags tapped up. Lucky no damage to the little box so im not gona complain. Not the way I wiuld ever ship lego though. Couldce ended up lossing money on that deal. Havent opened it yet seen reviews online gona keep them sealed keeping one for collection. Rest to pair with exo suits.
September 4, 201411 yr Well please disregard everything I said. The box was actually something else I ordered, when I went to my mailbox there was a mailer shoved in there that contained the spaceman and a worriz bike. Luckily the box was perfectly intact. It is a very small box. Sorry for the confusion. So short story: yeah, mailers, not boxes. meh

But by the looks of this box, it seems pretty sturdy seeing it has a pull out tray so I assume, and hope that pancaking is not an option, rather a dent. (I hope)

The box is a heavy duty sucker and opens in a matchbox style. Pretty cool little set overall. Will post pics of the little white spaceman in his new home later tonight :)
September 4, 201411 yr you guys worrying about the spaceman box being shipped in a mailer or box ... well what about you folks that ordered large heavy sets that are actually in stock and the spaceman was carelessly placed on top or bottom of the sets! the weight will surely "pancake" the spaceman box and or even dent the larger heavier set ...

September 5, 201411 yr Anyone think these will actually be a good investment? Whats the possible cap price for this throwback set. Ive been buying some at low 20s wondering if its a good idea. Im proably gona tie them in with exoa to sell unless they dont sell that way.
September 5, 201411 yr At free it is 100% a good investment. Do you mean, is it worth making multiple $99 investments, probably, if you know what to buy. Don't expect them to sell much after the initial peak though.
