I don't know if I was dreaming or what but I could have sworn I saw a post where someone preordered a UCS falcon for a May the 4th celebration this year. I searched everywhere (here, shopathome) and came up with nothing though.

Got it.  I switched my browser from Safari to Chrome.  Sailed right through.  My Safari page still isn't updating or working.

UGH!  I can finally get to the payment screen, but I can't use any of my VIP credit!!

My order just went through as well. With the $40 shipping added.

I was surprised to see that the Ninjago dragon and the learning set both showed up as freebies. My earlier attempts only listed the poster before getting kicked back to the start.

Just got one also... Site was working smoothly all of a sudden!

After 2 hours finally got one less the freebies and got charged for shipping.  Hopefully they will make good on the promotion and shipping corrections.  Thanks for the laughs everyone.

How many didn't plan to buy, but are just now trying so they can feel like a winner?

Me and my order just went through,  haha geez that was fun. 

was able to make it all the way to placing order , but I pulled out at the last second.

I am going to buy just to give everybody some hard times, lol

i ended up having to purchase on my mobile. It went through and my credit card shows as being charged. Couldn't use the VIP points too which is total BS. Will be calling them later when everything settles down. The receipt even called it a backorder... whatever....

Tax 86.10 also showing as backorders accepted will ship in 30 days

Oh that doesn't always work...that order might still go.....wait....nevermind......

Finally

I'll have to ask the CS when I talk to them about shipping/freebies why my effective tax rate was 9.7%...seems very high

Sweet baby jesus i got an order in.

Looks like i may have been dinged twice on paypal, but whatever i'll fix that later, phew.

I was worried about that happening so I just decided to use my CC. Finally got through, got the free shipping too.

Anyone have details on what the freebies were?  Just want to document them in case CS gives me any trouble.

I got my order in but could not get the rid of the $40 shipping fee ? No time to deal with this....Got to buy or gone.

Mods, when this frenzy ends please vacuum last 20 pages of this thread.

 

Frozen at checkout... Should I refresh page?

After over 2 hour playing with this shop.lego.com, finally I got 1 but back order. Still have to call CS about all the shipping and incorrect tax. Now I can go to sleep for 30 more minutes. ??

30 days to ship ? That sucks.
