When I got the Mountain View observatory, the price rung up as $249.99 instead of $319.99.  Did others experience the same thing? 

I preordered all of them..it helps knowing that I won't have to pay till they ship so like in 5 to 10 years

 

[given inflation it's going to be a hellava deal]

Limit one is definitely slowing things down. As are the high prices. The EURO/USD gap is much higher than with regular sets.

Very disappointed the Exporatorium didn't make it. Such a unique set compared to the modular construction site.

It rang up $249.99 for me as well.

Thanks for the heads up. At $250, it's a much more reasonable price. Now I got one.

You talked me into it. Got the Observatory and Diner.

Well I've ordered the Station, Chalet, and Construction Site. Since it's in a year's time, future me can worry about paying for it. 

They will likely end up having to open up the Steam Powered Science set for purchasing.

Having one of the sets being sold at 20% off isn't an even playing field.

I don't think any of the others sets had any chance at getting crowdfunded before the SPS set would have.

ordered all, sadly Steam Science set was above Chalet and Diner on my list, price of Observatory also less in CZK (4999 instead of 6999)

The SPS was my favorite set, so I'd love for you to be correct but I doubt that. You only found out about the discount after clicking through to Lego. And even now with the error being posted here, it's not moving from 4th place.

any thoughts on the train station vs the chalet and diner ? what you like about each.  they are all so different not sure which to get and can't get them all

Thank you!!!! I had this opened all morning considering it, but decided in the end to walk away form it at $320. Happy to pick it up at $250. 

Side note: I just finished Castle in the Forest last week. It is a stunning set, but I definitely didn't enjoy the building experience on a screen the same way that I enjoy building with paper instructions. It was harder for me to just get completely immersed in the build with my work email, etc a click away. That did make me more hesitant about picking anything up in Round 3, but again, at $250, its definitely worth it. 

Grabbed a diner and construction site.  If it has the word "modular" in it, I have to have it!

Thanks for the reminder!

back at 319, at least for me

Well damn. I wish I would have given it a try. At $250, very much worth it.  Coming in at $320 for me, too.

Aaaaand the Chalet is gone already, folks.

The last 2-3000 or so went very fast. Kinda strange.

well was debating on chalet when meter showed at 70% and its sold out

that was strange

based on that ordering the train station and can cancel if I don't want it

Dangit. Forgot about this until right now and missed out on the one I wanted most. Oh well.
