Be interesting to see who actually has claimed copyright on the instructions, the default would be the creator unless they entered into a contractual agreement. Which may be BrickLink due to using their software.
May 17, 20196 yr So, are these boxes individually numbered? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

May 18, 20196 yr Popular Post Neat build. The brown and dark brown was difficult to see in the instructions, so I can see some people getting frustrated. Otherwise everything was perfect. Not a single extra piece in this set.
May 20, 20196 yr Just got tracking on 3 Hot Shots I ordered. Ordered one the first day and 2 more on the last day, all three are shipping together now.

Received my 1 hot shot tracking as well. First one to ship out for me. Wasn't the first set I ordered or really even that early on.
May 23, 20196 yr The Fire Engine was the only one that interested me but I didn't pull the trigger. I've got too many sets in my backlog to build! I'd be very interested to see it assembled. I remember it being 18 or 20" long.
May 29, 20196 yr I'm really impressed with the packaging. I may have to order some more sets. Edited May 29, 20196 yr by marcandre
May 31, 20196 yr Anyone else get a "confirm your shipping address" email? I got one today and wondered if it was a sign of me maybe getting a shipment soon. It was only about the pledge I made on the castle last month. The Hot Shots purchase I made this month wasn't mentioned.

Yes, I got that, for the Science Tower and 8 studs models (those are the only 2 I ordered). Hopefully it'll ship soon! Keep an eye on your credit card - they'll charge before they ship.

I received this as well, but I ordered fairly late so I'm not sure it means they're getting ready to ship.
May 31, 20196 yr same here for all sets ordered. 1 castle at the 1000 supporter mark and (2) 8 studs. 1 bikes and 2 chess near the last day.... super excited!!!! edit: anyone think there is significance to the castle 2499% funded? Edited May 31, 20196 yr by isawred
May 31, 20196 yr I received hot shot set yesterday. yay! Looks great! today ,I Got the email to confirm address for the rest of the sets I ordered.?. Little strange. All pre- orders.
May 31, 20196 yr I think that todays' email (address confirmation) was meant as more of a "we haven't forgotten about you" message (especially since so many buyers that have received their sets never got one). Maybe some internal decision such as - any pre-order not sent by the end of the month should get an email/message. Then again, maybe they have just encountered a bunch of bad addresses.
June 1, 20196 yr Just send the castle already or we Riot! Sent from my SM-G955U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app
June 1, 20196 yr BrickLinkcorp. Get their first negative feedback! ? kinda funny seeing the sales venue with their own store ?
June 1, 20196 yr Also the first castle to be sold (AFAIK) on “pre order” went for €241 eBay May 12 in Germany, Straight up auction with only 3 bidders.

June 1, 20196 yr Has anyone from Canada received any of their orders yet? What shipping service did BL use? Did you have to pay any brokerage fees beyond the standard customs charges?
June 1, 20196 yr First set arrived today, (imagine it, buildit) the last I ordered and not one that I initially pledged for! Impressive on several counts, the packaging is way better than it looks, it’s in the Apple league, actually better I would say. Very high quality printing both of packaging and instructions. Thick cardboard “black box” even the brown shipping box has been branded and customized to fit! they charged $15 shipping for 3 sets, cheapest I could ship this package to CA would be close to $40. Interesting to note the set has been given a BL code (BL19009], the bags inside also have a set number (62728) looks like a 5 digit LEGO # to me then note the wording on the “thank you” card, in the first sentence is the word “piloting” which suggests this maybe more than a one off project ... All in all I would say these are excellent value for money
June 4, 20196 yr The creator of Hot Shot also has a pretty nice candy shop. He is offering the instructions and part list for free. Just message him on bricklink or email directly.
June 4, 20196 yr For those waiting on the Castle - Admin provided the post below. Other than waiting on the instructions, it sounds as if they are otherwise pretty much ready to ship (let's hope). ******** and everybody else waiting for this set - the instructions are due to arrive Tuesday June 4, and Loewenstein Castles will start shipping immediately. The first sealed Loewenstein Castle in Europe will be the one we take over to Portugal on Tuesday for the Paredes de Coura Fan Weekend event. It will be raffled off on Sunday. We will also be bringing an expertly glued Loewenstien, complete with the official expansion. This will be the first time the expansion is displayed in public.
