Is this a limited edition? Should I buy it ASAP or is this kit will be available for some time?

Not sure. Different Ideas sets have stuck around for different amounts of time. My suggestion would be to get it in the first 6 months if it is a must have set for you.
Online only at the moment. B&N didn't have it in store.
Aaaaand bought.
Me too =D

Let that be a hint for how to act on June 1st.

Seriously. I have a feeling this is going to be a super popular set and sell out very quickly in stores.
Great model, wide appeal, and a reasonable price
Mine from B&N will hopefully be waiting for me at home this afternoon.

I got half a dozen LEGO stores in near proximity.
My wallet will not be denied.
I'll fight you!

Have there been other Ideas sets that sold out immediately?
Hopefully you will be able to snag one on June 1st.. Or maybe Amazon will have it available early like Walmart did.
After my missed opportunity in purchasing the space shuttle one before, I was not going to let that happen again.
I will prob not be able to assemble it yet as I will have to discuss with my spouse as to where it will be safe to put it. Wanted it to be the fireplace mantle center piece but that was shot down =( lmao.
**Did anyone check jet.com to see if it's maybe in stock there? Edit: Not there

Yeah I don't follow Lego whatsoever and bought this the second that I could from Walmart.
I hope this set is sold at the Kennedy Space Center. I was there last month and the toys at the gift shop are underwhelming. They deserve better toys.
Btw for those who haven't been there before, the blue horizontal supports in this Lego set echo those of the actual Saturn V display, which is a nice touch

Mars Rover I believe. I know I missed that first day and never saw it again.
Research Insitute was also very difficult to get very quickly after release.

Its coming in a few hours, cant wait to build it!
Oh thank god. I was getting too tempted to pull the trigger on this dust collector.

Like I said before, this is my first set in probably 15 years. But this, especially the bolded, would get me to keep buying more. Kind of wish I had gotten the shuttle expedition one, too expensive to justify now though.
Has anyone's Walmart order shipped? Mine still says processing.
Edit: looks like mine shipped.
Split it up, pick your 4 favorite tablesNot as expensive as I was expecting. I don't know where I would put it though
Same. Being trying a few places but no luck. There are ebay listings saying they'll ship 27th may but unless there is a surprise last minute early access for VIPs I don't see how
I was thinking of just picking it up from the online lego shop but seeing if there are early drops.
That's all I'm doing. Since one will be a birthday gift for December and another will be being sealed away for years and only one is for me, I'm in no rush. I don;t have the time right now but soon I shall.

Mine has arrived!
I'm just worried of it running out of stock immediately at launch

Finished the first stage. It's almost as tall as the Space Shuttle.
From here:

As others noted, an extra $30 will get free shipping, so I'm going to complete my Speed Champions collection (and maybe grab the VW Van at last...)
The LEGO thread sucks, lol. Awesome post though, thanks for sharing - what's BN? Wish Lego had a bigger shop footprint in Australia for things like this, as it seems there is no realistic way to ever get things early locally.
My order from Walmart just changed from processing to shipped, arriving Wednesday the 24th. Saved me the one hour trip I was planning to take to the Lego store June 1st.

I ignored Shuttle Expedition when it was in print, and am now kicking myself for that. I want it so bad. That is my penance.Finished the first stage. It's almost as tall as the Space Shuttle.
Huh, I didn't even know about it.

Just look at it. It is so sexy. Hoping they do a NASA approved shuttle soon.
Yeah, I've been buying some sets that aren't available in Australia from there, but I don't really see anything else I want right now. I might just buy two Saturn sets to avoid the shipping fees.
Holy crap at the OP. :0

Thank you.
And we don't screw around there. Just know that if you come we are a loving and welcoming bunch, but also filthy enablers that will talk you into spending your money.
But really, join us. We love fresh meat...I mean new blood.
