Ooh, interesting... might pick one up then

@woosterlegos said:
"Please let Mushroom House be one of them!"

There should be. I exchanged 2 of them because they arrived completely smashed by UPS. Actually, I kept one of the smashed ones because my gf wanted one for herself when she saw it lol

Bummer was hoping they would have the BDP sets from 2023.

I sell my older sets to replenish the Lego piggy bank.

Wait, is this only for the US and Canada?

Ooof, it will be hard for me to pass up on Ominous Isle a second time…

If the Construction Site will be one of them I will likely jump at the chance.

yep - NA only.

Europe getting shafted I see

"Yeah and for us europeans that didn't get to buy these? Screw us I guess. "

Marktplaats. :-)

Wow, >1 year after release? LEGO is not famous about quickness...

I’d love to see multiple re-runs of these as well, which would help with the crazy aftermarket prices.

glad none are sets I want, the website will probably crash

I read elsewhere that excess BDP 1 and 2 sets may be available for purchase at Lego House in Billund.

From what I can see most haven't gone up that much and some you can get for less than the original asking price.

8 am Pacific. Yikes. Do I really want to wake up at 5am for one of those set?

The construction site is not parts of the current program, as it predates BDP. That original 2021 / 2022 invitational was only for rejected 10K Ideas submissions, and not part of the current numbered BDP series. See here for the instructions link LEGO put out for the Construction Site: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/designer-sets-for-adult-fans-of-lego/215744/Modular-Construction-Site "

Noooooo, thanks for the instructions.

We don' wanna join you to search for the Grail. We already got one, you see.

Mountain Fortress won't be one of the sets, sadly. So, no need to try to get one the very second the sale goes live...

Yes, email.

Where have you been able to find the list of available sets/quantities?

"How does anyone have money for anything Lego is releasing these days? I can’t afford a car "
Granted, a lot of LEGO sets have become very expensive in recent years, but a car (at least a good one) is still more than the entire LEGO catalogue combined.
Wait, did you mean used car? OK, then maybe, but even the worst lemon is more expensive than even the most expensive LEGO set.

@Sandinista said:

They work, they save, they prioritise spend for one hobby or lifestyle choice over another. There is also a huge range of prices, plenty of LEGO sets are under $20.

Ah, that's where the three sets are that I ordered and were brutally returned after one day at the pick-up location.

Plenty?

I think the idea is these are cancelled ones and extras produced, so tge could include sold out ones too."

technically didn't they all sell out? I thought the way it worked is they only produced as many as were reserved with a max production of 30k or whatever their upper limit was or if they didn't get above a certain amount of preorders they wouldn't make any at all.

LEGO considers a set SOLD OUT when it hit the 30k. Once the Series Ordering Clock is up, then yes, technically they're all sold out.

Somewhat relatedly, I suspect the Series Ordering Clock will be moot for Series 5 as I'm anticipating all 5 sets to reach 30k and be SOLD OUT.

These are going to be extremely limited, so battle royale style. Thankfully I don't need any from series 1 or 2, so I'm all set.

First, no, these are only the ones that were produced for the NA market. For yours, you’re going to have to line up at LEGO House before the doors open.

Second, what the actual heck? One day and they got sent back? Did you try seeing if they could locate and reship them? I’m still pissed about the hardcover Ferrari book, which I was responsible and only ordered one copy of, only for them to blanket cancel all the orders because they foolishly didn’t set them to Limit 1 in time, but then anyone who ordered before the cancellations couldn’t add one to their cart because the previous order hadn’t been wiped clean from their ordering history. If they’d guffed an order for limited edition sets, I’d probably walk to Billund and start pounding on their door, which is no mean feat when there’s an entire ocean in the way.

@yellowcastle:
At least they haven’t (that I’m aware) been doing what they did with the Forma presales. I went in on the last day to add a few more skin packs to my order, only to find that they were almost all Sold Out. Except the quantity listed as Sold was way lower than the initial preorder limit had been, so they actually shrunk the pool before preorders closed.

They produce more than they need in case of losses or damages in Shipping. And they will also have returns and cancellations. So they have sets left over.

None of the fun ones

qui va nous envoyer un e-mail pour que je puisse commander un set disponible; LEGO.COM OU BRICKLINK. merci pour toute information véridique et pertinante.

You get the lego house exclusives, don't act like this is a plight against you. This is leftovers, not a full production run. They are a for profit business first and foremost, so shipping the sets from NA to EU while selling them at the same price lowers their profit, hence illogical to do.

@Sandinista said:

Wait 2 years and only buy on sale/clearance, personally. Sucks to wait but it's necessary

Or, if you love Lego of any sort try Ebay. The economy is down and sets or parts are selling cheap. I bought a whole lot of vintage sets 99% complete, about 7 LBS for $40 the other day.

Nice. Its funny really, vintage sets often get overlooked when sold mixed up but I've had some great sets that way. I got almost a whole Black Seas Barracuda for £10 as someone thought it was "probably some sort of ship" but didn't really know what it was.

Take that, investors!

anyone get the email yet? I haven't received it from Bricklink or LEGO, and im signed up for both.

Success! Fortress, Isle, Brick Cross, & Mushroom House! I'm happy... but my wallet isn't!

I was trying to psych out everyone else who wanted one not to bother to improve my chances of getting one. Alas, I was too busy at work to try for it. The curse of being a responsible adult, trying to acquire a limited-supply toy...(um, for my kids...yeah, that's it)

Late reply from me, sorry.
Yes, it was shipped back one day after it arrived at the pick-up point. The pick-up point didn't want to keep all the parcels over during the holiday, and they said DPD would take all the parcels and redirect them. Instead, they just returned them to sender.
The TLG logistics knew where the parcel was, but it's something outside their procedure book to have a parcel shipped from another location than their warehouses (long live bureaucracy!). So nothing I could do...

That’s…weird. Presumably the box should have ended up back at the warehouse, at which point it should have been possible to reship it. Alternately, they should have been able to push your name to the top of the list for reshipment.

Yes, that's what I thought. But they said that it wouldn't be possible "for technical reasons".
