Guys, I'm choosing to divulge this info to you. This is the big one and can be a hit or miss. BTTF sets have begun leaking at LEGO Stores across the country. I was making a delivery at work this morning an was right by my local one, so I decided to drop in. I got there before the store opened. The store only had 12 in stock and I was able to take 4. I will be creating anothe threa very soon about MASSIVELY IMPORTANT info I have received about this whole reselling issue. Let me tell you though, it is not good. The "Golden Age" of reselling LEGO has officially come to a close. More on that soon.

Also, the LEGO stores have the Fall Scene polybag in stock. This is not "officially" being sold yet by LEGO on LEGO Shop at Home. Finally, the new LEGO Architecture Studios set is in stock at the stores but not out on display yet. However, the barcode a are in the system and they scan so if you ask for them, they can sell them to you.

This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill.

the nearest one to me is about 1 hour on the airplane away

I can wait for this set, as I'm sure a lot of people who don't follow every piece of Lego news, as they probably don't know about this set yet.

Someone down voted you.  Don't worry, Batman's got you covered!

That was me by accident. Thanks for evening me out spener

What's the big worrying news for resellers?

That's why batman is my favourite superhero

I just want to say that after watching my girlfriend build the Delorean last night and seeing it in person, it is much cooler than what everybody has been saying. I recommend building the version from the third movie because that totally solves the stepped-hood predicament. I'll be building my copy today.

We broke the news here first...

Went to my local LEGO store today, they still don't have them. I guess I'll be there August 1st to get a couple and a limited Technic Crawler...

Hoping to make a trip and get one as well.

Selling on Ebay for 70-80 bucks by the way

The Lego store I went to today didn't have them either. They did have all the new Friends sets though.

Dude, as fast as the deloreans went, my hopes are not high for getting my hands on the limited Technic Crawler. I'll be getting to the store at opening, with my fingers crossed. Yeah, I know I could get it online, but I want that gorgeous box in MINT condition (I'm no box snob, but it's a nice box)

Are you building it?

Are you building it?

Nope. Strictly investment. I already built the original Crawler. Already sold it, too lol. It is... not an impressive R/C truck.

I will probably try to get one. We'll see how it goes, but if May the 4th is any indication I should be ok

So I bought two of the BTTF sets off Ebay. Someone listed two for 50 each. I live more than 100 miles from the nearest Lego store. Figured that was a good deal as they were selling on Ebay for over $80.

 

Picked them up.

Yup, yup, yup - me too.  I will be placing this exact order if I can!

So is this limited edition crawler explained anywhere? Like how many there are, where you get them? I assume I am dumb and missing it.

It's limited to 20,000 sets and will be priced at $199.99.

The thing that baffles me is how did they expect to not sell out within mere seconds with only 12 units of this set in store?! They needed closer to fifty or hundred of the set to provide a more realistic supply to handle the incredible demand for this one. Twelve feels like a plan not thought out very well.

Might've been a test run since the official release date is still the first. or maybe a way to get people talking about the set

Some media coverage, word of mouth gossip, and a way of getting rid of the ones with the misspelled flux capacitor part, why not? :)

Makes me wonder if the going rate will be dramatically different for a set with or without the misspelling.

History has shown little to no change in price with sets that contain "errors".

I would personally pay a little more for the correct version over the mistake anyday. What the heck could I do with a misspelled part? It looks unprofessional. Still, it'll give us a laugh years later. In the future we will be like "Hey, do you remember when they misspelled shield?", "Yeah, that was classic! Ha ha!"
