Got a Batmobile now can't get back in!

 

Jeez...

I know we complain about it always, but it's freaking 2019.  They still can't get this to work right?

either that or they simply have that much traffic....it is the largest toy company in the world....

This is ridiculous! Can't LEGO just rent a couple more servers?

I guess my mom was able to order for my sister who is AT Disney World, but this poor schmuck can't even log in.

Maybe because they know that us reseller scum are the majority that buy online right when the sets go live and want to screw with us...

Clicked the Add to Bag three times for the Disney train and kept getting the error. Finally able to sign in and then I see three trains in my cart. Tried to adjust to one and then kicked me out again! Aaarrgghh!!!

Don't care if they do have that much traffic. Get a queuing system or just get extra server power for today. The largest toy company in the world should be able to afford that.

Costco has been down almost all day...it must be the Russians or the Chinese [emoji23]

Dear LEGO,

I would like to give you hundreds of dollars. Please allow me to do this.

Signed,

A Frustrated Fan

still just the spinning wheel of death.

Traffic isn't an issue at all with things like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. This is basically just LEGO being cheap and not wanting to pay to scale their servers up for a few days. And/or horrible programming.

site seems to be working if you aren't signed in ?

These are now live, i guess it takes them time to do this, not sure why the other isn't discounted yet.

I may be up til 12 pst/3est just trying to get my SAH orders in, so maybe that falcon will be there as well

I can't wait until the BrickLink admins take over the LEGO site ....... oh wait...

Ha, stuck with 20 trains in my cart and can't delete!   Oof

I keep seeing my cart flash with like 5 Disney trains in it (then it goes to zero) and then I can't sign on.  I want 1 not five but the system is a train wreck

 

Surprised they left limit 20 up on train.

Yeah, that excuse doesn't work.  They aren't small time.  They could scale up for these big push days, and they know it.

I do this web site stuff for a living these days, and they very clearly have no interest in hiring an actual IT consultant or two to come in and fix their IT infrastructure.

I had 7 in my cart at one point.

I keep getting this error now.

When a server tanks this hard they have to recycle the servers. AKA turn each one off and turn them back on. Currently the servers have hundreds of thousands of requests that aren't getting processed and its bottle necking everyone from doing anything.

Lilly Pulitzer for their annual sale has a line system where you go to the site, get a number and wait. More than 100,000 people thru in an hour usually...lego needs a queue system!

Was anyone able to checkout?

Not me...unexpected errors...multiple items...not signed ins...sigh.
