I am almost as excited for this set as I was when I first saw the Haunted House pictures last year. This set is going to be a big hit in my opinion. I typically don't even like technic sets that much, but this set rocks!! Thanks to Brickextra for the pics!

Most other stores did not have any stock from reading this thread. Maybe they just sent some to the largest ones to get rid of the remaining ones? I hope lol

How all of us missed it....ooops..i am not....i got ten.

I renember a lots of talking before its happened...buy or not to buy, limitedness and such...i am happy.

Funny, the guy you list here bought one from me too.  He must be stocking up for Christmas!

he bought 5 from me for a grand total of.... $2302.88

So much for it being the last one... Got the 3 they had left and got 4 mini mechs

They said it like they were sending them, in the future.

IN 2 years, he might be the one laughing! lol

Or the market crashes and they are worth 20 bucks a piece, regardless, someone will be laughing all the way go the bank...

I didn't get ANY, but not for lack of trying. If they come around again I will, if not, oh well.

Same here. I didn't have the funds to purchase this set. If I only bought one, I would have built it, so I would need to buy two. One for building ad one for reselling. But that did not happen.

When I went to the LEGO store here in Austin on day one they practically laughed in my face.

Probably just gonna flip mine and but something I actually want like a SSD.

I think he knows what he's doing....

well i already did some laughing because of the sweet profit i turned, and hopefully ill do some more laughing because iv'e got another one from lego.com in a fedex box on the way to my house. and the guy who bought the set's from me previously, might just plan on buying all 20,000 to artificially drive up the price, and reap the rewards. i'm just saying.

definately would drive up the price but wouldn't happen even if he tried.

He might.....I'm not getting exited about this set until I see what happens after the minecraft effect is over. Plus all Lego has to do end this madness is release another wave.......which I could totally see them doing.

They can only release another wave with a different box.  Because they didn't specify anywhere on the box whether it was #***** then they would be crucified if they decided to release it again.  I know you didn't buy into the hype surrounding this set, but I think at this point, it's undeniable, the set is an investment winner. I remember emazers saying that he would rather have a bunch of Tower of Orthanc's, or Tower Bridges in 5 years.  I couldn't disagree more. The rarity, plus creativity involved with this set, plus it is simply an amazing looking set, make it a terrific investment.

TLG: "Due to the overwhelming success and the disappointment of our valued customers who were not able to purchase a limited edition 41999, we have decided to release 60,000 more also with numbered license plates, if you miss out on those don't worry we will keep making them until not a single ebayer can even sell one for retail. Thank you and have a great day".

agreed that its a great investment for people who flipped them, we shall see what they do in the months to come. Some people say this could reach 1000-1500 in the coming months which it might very well do that, its not gonna go up forever though. At some point the market will stop it.

TLG: "We would like to thank the 20,000 buyers who purchased our LIMITED EDITION 41999.  Unfortunately, we will only be making 20,000 of them.  But we would like to remind everyone that we have a 9398 Crawler that is still being sold.  It is the exact same thing, but isn't LIMITED EDITION."

yeah yours might be a tad more realistic :)

I'm hoping my version is correct...

Or why not make another 20,000 in a different color? That's what I would do if I were LEGO. Release them just in time for Black Friday. Maybe even a Green one and a Red one. That would be another 40,000.
