So the other two new technic sets that lego released on August 1st 42054 (Claas Xerion) and 42055 (Volvo Ew160E) are already out of stock and on back order at SAH.

Is it just me or is Lego totally messing up recently? Granted that these sets have been highly anticipated but it's not like they are Star wars UCS sets that are flying off the shelves on release date.

 

Lego must be losing so much money first with the porsche shambles, now that isn't even a lego exclusive and is already starting to be on sale at 5-10% in UK. Every other retailers has these sets in stock so has Lego under estimated demand?

Looking forward to see how lego copes with the Disney castle, on back order after day 1?

The tractor is probably selling better than expected. Same happened with Arocs last year too as Technic production is lower than for more popular themes. I think it´s partly deliberate marketing - looks good if new items sell out. Remember that neither Batcave nor Hoth sold out and this reflects public opinion about their quality.

I think you got that the wrong way around: public opinion about their quality was negative, which made them not sell out ....
