Anyone had any luck ordering them lately? I ordered one on March 1, they said they would charge my credit card and ship it once they had it available (it had the 'out of stock, expect to ship March 6' tag), then the tag changed to March 13, now to March 6 again and the credit card authorisation is gone. Guess it's really sold out. Tomorrow I'll call them.

Still plenty of availability here in Canada. If anyone wants more, just take a look around. It`s a slow burner of a set, after the re-release which quenched the flame of demand, there is plenty of excess, at least over here.

Agreed, a couple of weeks ago they were 2 rows 12 deep with some stacked on top at our lego store. I even saw a couple last Friday at my TrU too.

it seems to be back in stock with the tag "RETIRING SOON"

Well.. at least there exists a 90 day return window. If it sells crap, I will return a couple of them.

QF time is over now, the exosuit is a long term investment IMO.

Don't bother to order some if you don't want to seat on for a while.

...washing a cat in the sink unit... BARF!

Well they did say that it will be decommissioned.

So they stop to produce it and when it's gone it's gone.

 

If nobody buys the exo-suit it's not really legos fault ;-)

In the army, when soldiers are "decommissioned" they are "retired" : so it does not mean commanders are supposed keep soldiers at war and just stop to enroll some new ones.

Called them yesterday. However ordered one when it was out of stock will get the sets shipped in the next days.

What reason do you give? Do you need to pay return postage? And does a courier collect? How does the return work?

No reasons, In my opinion I perhaps bought a few too much because I expected that it would retire earlier when the 'retiring soon' tag was applied. Now another run was done and everybody jumped on it, so it is perhaps wise to return a few and invest this money in other exclusives sets at the moment that have priority in my opinion. However, I do agree with Biniou that it will be a good investment for the long run though.

 

In Holland, you just call you want to return. They will send you a 'return label' by mail which you can attach to the package and just bring it to the post office. Lego will pay the postal costs so returning is indeed free.

Thanks for the info. Does this flag you are a reseller?

Maybe if your return is in double digits.

Called customer service in the US today. If it is not their fault that cause the return, you are responsible for return shipping with tracking feature. 

Is this set still hot? I ask because my local Lego Store has LITERALLY 60 of these on the shelves!!!

Ice cold at the moment? The initial hype machine and QF opportunities perhaps resulted in another run that was not actually needed (resellers perhaps bought too much stock - regular folks complained, another run (or more) was done...all speculation). That being said, I doubt any Ideas/CUUSOO set is going to flop dramatically. Once these are cleared out, I expect some selling opportunities as early as this Christmas, but solid returns by next Christmas.

'Will be retired on February 2015"

"Available"

March 30th

 

Yeah, same over here in NA. There is still loads of stock readily available. Too much if you ask me, we`re going into April already. I don`t expect stock to dry up anytime soon, unless some people decided to deliberately go out and buy it all up...which as we all know, that`s a possibility 

disregard...once I logged in everything went back to normal.

just returned 5 I ordered early March at LEGO Shop at Home. Lost my faith in it, too much stock and too much resellers. Just gimme my money back, I better invest it in a PC or PS.

Expect this new grey family of Mixels in 2015 using leftover exo parts then!

It's amazing that despite the official "retiring soon" label on this and the EEE, LEGO just can't seem to sell through these.  Can you imagine if the T1 or Ecto-1 had these labels?
