​'You're the cook? Oh ma gawd we're all gonna die!'

I wonder if it will have enough yellow flats to build 2 digit numbers

​Still not clear if it has enough to make an 88  

i'm thinking 88 will be possible. only two brick difference between 99 and 88

​Yes, I was just being silly  

you had me second guessing after post. spacing with two numbers might look weird 

I believe you are supposed to leave 1/3 of the numbers hanging on either side of that blue 4x1 with a cross in the middle.  The cross is supposed to provide spacing 

 

ETA: 77 is going to look weird because we would need to put the 1x1 brick on either end of that blue 4x1

I think they could have done better, but at least it's a source for a few macaroni bricks, always nice to have on hand...

If I wasn't told that was a birthday cake, I'm not sure it would have been my first guess. With closed top.  Not diggin' it at all.  Just my opinion.  

yes rather have a female jumping out than a jester.

I asked the girlfriend. She couldn't tell what it was.

"I thought it was a UFO"

"It's not cute"

"I couldn't tell what those flames were, they don't look like candles"

"Birthday candle is more mixed like pink and white, but this is only blue"

"What is that character? Why? They should make a generic birthday character. That guy is like he's from circus." (She's Japanese so it's "not [her] culture" but it's true he's a circus clown not a birthday clown)

"Doesn't make sense. I don't know, foreigners."

​I can't blame her. It looks similar to the April mini build

Hmm - no limit (99) at LEGO Shop at Home...

I tried to get one at my local shop this afternoon and they were sold out. 

man these things went to back order fast

​was able to order some just now, don't see back order

they were sold out in store already though so probably not to far behind

They are readily available at SAH.  I really want to order these, but I am curious how long LEGO plans on producing these and how many.  Though exclusive, I keep envisioning them like a DDC type of product....gone quickly at first, then able to find them everywhere soon after release.

​They are in Europe.

I can't even find it up LEGO Shop at Home website now.  I ordered 10 yesterday which are "IN WAREHOUSE".

​We could hope that it'll last a while being a generic birthday set, but the seasonal ones of the same type (Valentine's, Easter, etc) sold out fast, only to never return.
That said, I'm buying at least a few now.
