I have that set too. It is tiny next to the new one.

Dang, didn't realize how big the new one is.

I have the original, it felt pretty unwieldy already.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

No dice at Barnes and noble. Damnit.

UK store is also on back order before it even got to 1 June!

Ordered it though, saying it might take up to 30 days.

Fml.

Anybody in Canada has experience with ordering sets from the official LEGO online shop?

Any ideas which shipping company they use and how long it takes?

I know that it takes forever when ordering loose bricks (my order has been in Poland for a couple of days now) but I don't know if it's different for full sets?

Lol. Puts things in perspective.

I've ordered quite a few and they've always used FedEx, which takes about a week from the ship date to major Canadian cities (it ships from the USA).

Yes, ordering bricks and pieces is a whole different animal.

Shit I hate Fedex... Oh well

The thing dwarfs Orthanc

 

[PhoncipleBone]

My pain of missing that shuttle set only grows at that pic.

 

[Megasoum]

The thing dwarfs Orthanc

The shuttle looks kinda terrible next to it too...

Way too blocky (pun not intended...)

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Will they make this set for awhile? I am a HUGE space nerd and a big lego fan but I can't afford it ATM.

The anxiety of missing this set is killing me.

You'll definitely be fine.

 

[firehawk12]

Will this "launch" (herp) at Midnight?

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Yeah, supposedly is launching 10 minutes from now =O

 

[Chezzymann]

I already have it but I just wanna see how fast it sells out lol

 

[Megasoum]

Pre-order for June 1st is up on the Canadian shop!



Edit: Hmm I'm getting a blank page after the Paypal checkout and I'm not sure if I should reload... I don't want to order it 5 times lol


I think the site just went down at Midnight...

It's completely broken. Can't log in. Can't find anything, can't add to my cart. And now the Apollo won't come up in searches.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

had it in my cart and got to adding my card and it crashed

 

[xxracerxx]

Stuck at verify address.

 

[DrEvil]

Are these sets limited run? or will it be available for good?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

i had my credit card info in and everything :c

 

[watership]

Wow. This is the worst website shopping experience I've had in 5 years. Won't let me confirm the order now

 

[Megasoum]

It failed at Verify Payment just now.... Now I'm really worried about trying again...

 

[sqwarlock]

Man, the Lego shop is kind of terrible for this kind of traffic isn't it?

 

[elfinke]

Backorders have now blown out to July for the Aussie Lego store, so good luck rest-of-world-LEGO-GAF.

 

[firehawk12]

Lego site dying as fast as that Sony ticket site.

 

[xxracerxx]

This is such shit.

 

[chaosblade]

Hopefully they do another one down the line, with a better looking nose cone. Other than the front of the shuttle it looks fine to me.

 

[firehawk12]

Does anyone have a direct link to the blue pieces/ I have no idea how to search for them...

 

[watership]

after so many fails, i finally got to verify payment, and it's completely dead. Not even getting an error message.

Same, but it kicked me out of verify payment.

 

[firehawk12]

I can't even add to bag... I hope they have a lot of these sets.

 

[Megasoum]

Hey it finally went through!

 

[smokeandmirrors]

fuck it gonna try before work at this point. im up too late for this bullshit

 

[xxracerxx]

Fuck you LEGO site..hit confirmed order and then it errored out.

 

[Megasoum]

All right I can go to bed

Good luck guys!

 

[mdphilli]

Mine just went through as well. Hopefully. My card has a pending payment, so, at least they'll take my money. Keep trying!

 

[Maengun1]

It will probably be for sale for about a year based on previous Ideas sets IIRC

Sometimes the retirements come outta nowhere though. I'd say you're safe through the end of 2017 though for sure

Well shit then, I can wait. this server BS is pissing me off.

 

[firehawk12]

This is so stupid lo.

 

[IronRinn]

Jesus Fucking Christ, I finally got through using checkout through PayPal. Couldn't sign into my Lego account. Guess I'll call them tomorrow and see about getting my points credited. What a fucking pain in the ass that was. Finally I can go to bed.

 

[xxracerxx]

Fucking finally!

How is LEGO at shipping their stuff? Boxes show up in good shape?

 

[DrEvil]

Mine just went through.. "one last try" I said.

 

[watership]

Some web admin woke up. Mine went through!

edit: Looks like I wasn't alone! Congrats everyone.

 

[firehawk12]

Yep. I think I even got the blue pieces too, assuming the site didn't fart out on me. lol

What blue pieces?

 

[firehawk12]

What blue pieces?

The ones from a page back that make the set more accurate because of the fuel used.
I wouldn't have gotten them if not for the free shipping that you get with the set anyway. lol

 

[Megasoum]

What blue pieces?

They are using red studs for the engine plumes for Stages 2 and 3.

The real Saturn V was burning hydrogen on those stages which was more of an almost invisible blueish flame.

So we're buying individual blue studs just to replace those flames lol

Check out previous pages on this thread there's a bunch of discussion about it with the exact pieces ID if you want to buy them.

I have no idea how to find them. I looked up the names, and the numbers. No joy. Anyone have links?
