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.

I am holding these. Rumor has it that LEGO has not been able to accrue any large inventory of this set. Which means there will be a period if drought. Also, they are producing the new version of the set that doesn't have the spelling error which will take some time.

classic minecraft scenario...

I do kind of hope that Lego does a limit 1 per person on launch day, and then opens it up from there.  Give everyone a shot at it at least, then let it be fair game.

99.9% sure it'll remain limit of 2.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there will be progressively less people passing down Back to the Future.  While I enjoyed the movies I don't think it has staying power.  It's popular on this website, but as most of us know.  We are a small sampling of a large population.

 

Time elasped.

 

After having a brieft discussion with a random sampling, coworkers, perhaps I have underestimated the sets potential.  I'm an imperfect being so it's possible, lol, I was way off on the popularity of minecraft.  I understand the appeal of Back to the Future more.

At my local LEGO store they had a limit of 1 a couple days ago. There is none today BTW. Will check on launch day.

For those wanting this set, I would try logging in to Lego S@H at midnight EDT on August 1 (that's Wednesday night/Thursday morning).  That's when the B-Wing was made available on May the 4th.

Both my LEGO stores are limit 1 per family.

The Mall of America LEGO store has all of the August 1st. sets out including the BTTF set. Sadly it was sold out when I got there. (That was on Saturday.)

limit is one by me

Wow, limit one? That is very strange, it's still limit 2 at my store. I'm interested in seeing what LEGO Shop at Home will say on August 1st.

Also, who's been lucky enough to get there hands on one yet?

Great advice.  Just don't buy enough to get yourself banned!

I am hoping to find the new limited 4x4 boss crawler online at that time as well.

Went to my lego store today, and as I was walking in at 10:04 (four min. after opening) a man walked out with a bag full of these. The employee informed me that the man purchased their entire inventory and I should try shop at home on the 1st... I was really shocked. No limit at my store I guess?

wow...thats bs. i don't like limits, but i don't think you should be able to buy all of them..

Exactly. I hate the limits, but watching that guy walk out with all of them (around twelve I counted) was a bummer.

Me too - I may try to get two of these...one for myself and one for a future friend.

This is precisely why I'm not worried about any blowback from these "bans" and "strict limits". When all LEGO stores get on the same page and have a policy that is enforced strictly across the board, then maybe it will deserve some attention.

I don't think these will be in the store on august 1... My store indicated a limit of one but not driving 40 miles out of my way for 1 set.

Lego store I called indicated there will be no more shipments this week.

Yeah, I'm thinking these may not even be around in the store on the actual "launch" day.

just picked one up. they said it is one for now. next week i can get another

Did you pick up a Delorean or a 41999?  Thanks for the update.

delorean, i didnt see 41999 there

What market are you guys in? I'm interested to see where these lots of 1 are.

I just checked Lego's Manhattan store.  Delorean was in stock but sold out now.  

 

The Manhattan store has not yet received 41999.  However, it should arrive in time for the Aug 1 launch.  Price will be marked up to $219.99 (from issue price of $199.99).  FYI, most sets in the Manhattan store are marked up at least 10%.  For example, the Haunted House is priced at approx. $198, with sales tax of 8.875%.
