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.

Mine went from waiting for new stock to back ordered yesterday. Was in process this morning and now I'm warehouse. 

Does anyone know why it says my content will need to be approved by a moderator.

My 75192 will cost me £433.33 at the most, mark my words!

Noted.  I personally don't think you will ever be able to get 1/3 off unless using VIP points.

+1 I never seen such steep discount. best is a 20% off like the one on force friday on the UCS tie fighter and hoth play set.

Mine has gone to completed. Tracking number says I will have next week. 

Legoland FL got their stock in.  They've already sold out and I received a call for one and purchased.  Oh boy oh boy.  I caved in, I don't purchase many sets so the $40 savings isn't "immediate".   The Black VIP card I may still try and get via purchasing and reselling for cost somewhere just to get rid of it.  The resale market on craiglist just isn't there for my area.  Two on Craiglist right now for $1200 for awhile now.

Why couldn't LEGO simply keep some back for 01OCT orders? It shows that they have little regard for non-VIPs. Also why wasn't the limit 1 per household as it's obvious that the scalpers were waiting for VIP release?

 

Who says they haven´t and it´s not all part of the game? US orders now being fulfilled and B+m shops restocked. I reckon like others it´s all a ruse as with Saturn and they are drip feeding them out to the web. This time next year, it will be everywhere.

The VIP card you get for purchasing will have your name and VIP number printed on it... they are not the same as those given out in London.

My order placed on the 14th on Shop at Home that was put on backorder has just shipped!  Everyone else's will ship today/tomorrow as well is my guess.  Woohoo!

 

Ditto!  Woohoo!  (only 2 weeks later...)

sure hope they have some in time for double vip :[

Mine went from waiting for stock until shipped today - I hadn't checked yet today and got a shipping notice.  Good luck to all.

Will you have to pay for park tickets to be able to fetch yours?

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.

One would hope it would be everywhere this time next year. Not being able to keep up with demand for a full year would look pretty bad for Lego. 

Mine also was in state "backordered" after being in "waiting for more stock", has now shipped!

Should revceive it tomorrow but I am on cruise in middle of carribean and will only see it on Monday...

ACCIO MILF !!!

Maybe... and that's the time when I'll see them overstocked and offered at a discount?

I'm glad that we're taking about MILF in the uncommon context ;-)

I got the notice too, yay.

Terminal Location is the place where all the orders go to die peacefully ..... ?

Happy you sold the other one now?

Waiting for new stock then backordered and now shipped and arriving on Saturday. Thrilled......Wife says dining table not an option with toddler around. Shipping table in the basement is not an option, always cranking out shipments. Oh my, where am I going to build this behemoth ? Need to buy a cheap table. But where do I put the table now. Tiny house in New Jersey. Hmmm.

I've been thinking about this black VIP Card given with allegedly the first 20000 copies. What are the chances of some of these exclusive gifts being Falcon related? Filling in desired Falcon crew members from other episodes such as the much demanded Nien Numb and a new version of Lando. It would add lots of extra value/exclusivity for the early adopters.

Is this a pipe dream or a possibility? 

Those are some of the characters I really wanted in this set along with Bespin Luke and an R2-D2 with more detail.
