Schumacher F1 car preordered, planning to get the upscaled spaceman in store this morning.

Will probably order the newest modular this coming week to get the sushi GWP.

SPACEMAN!

The Batman cars and the Fortnite Brickheadz

Just the ‘brown’ cat, Pooh and the spaceman

11376 Ford Model T in warehouse
11375 Ferrari F2004 backordered til 5th March
40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan in warehouse
30734 Mini F1 ACADEMY Car in warehouse

Will 40906 Restaurants of the World Japan survive until mid this week? Please share your honest thoughts.

I was able to redeem the Insider Reward code for the Fortnite BrickHeadz, and it accepted it in the cart, but the set never populated and isn't present in my order history. I hope it ships out.

New boat! Exciting.

Sauron should be added to the highlights...

Personally, I wouldn't chance it. It does seem very popular despite the threshold (albeit it comes at a time when lots of new sets are being released)

I’ll be surprised if it survives the weekend, but then predicting this kind of thing is tricky. I was fortunate enough to qualify for the threshold with the Titan Mech pre-order; I’d have found it pretty nerve-wracking if I didn’t.

The new Lloyd’s Titan Mech :)

There's also the fact that it's not tied to a particular new set.

Probably... As the first in a series they will likely have made plenty.
And if the Lego Advertising Network says 'Get in quick because it won't last long', it will probably last for ages, and might even get a second run!

I preordered 77258
F1 ACADEMY™ LEGO® Race Car, 60493 F1® Display Truck with Audi F1® Race Car, and 30735 Mini F1 ACADEMY™ Car .

Will also pick up the three new Batmobiles later.

Finishing up my want list from 2025. New releases can wait this time.

My first thought seeing the image on this article:

“Why is the Blacktron logo there?”

Is there any benefit to visiting a bricks and mortar LEGO shop to purchase sets these days? Are purchases eligible for GWP? Do the store staff buy you lunch?

"Ocarina of Time Final Battle is the first time I've preordered a set. As a gaming + Lego fan, I've been waiting ages for a simple set of an epic scene like this. It shipped a day or two ago, can't wait!"

Better wait for day of release, if interested GWP... preorders no gwp.

most likely takes time for it show up , (you could try customer service just be sure though.
Most likely they ship it to you seperately if not in your order free...or add it to your order before it ships.)

Upscaled spaceman in hand and built already.

Pick-a-Brick wall, build-a-minifig bins (it has exclusive parts!), minifig factory (if available), actual human interaction with real people, and getting your sets quicker than ordering online. And yes, purchases comes with the GWP if applicable."

Thank you!

Wasn't interested, so no losses there! The only GWP that I care about right now is tied to a single set that would cost a full mortgage. >_>

In Ireland an online order can sometimes take up to 2 weeks to arrive. I checked some recent orders, 2 orders placed 31st Jan, delivered 12th Feb.

I secured my Japanese restaurant 40906 with the large scale Spaceman 40921 (on backorder) and a rather large PaB order. I forgot to enter my code for 40911 so I guess I'll have to order something else in the next 60 days. Crapola!

Ah, good. I'll be able to get my Ganondorf juuuust before the end of human civilization. It won't mean much in next week's post-apocalypse, but it'll be a nice reminder of the Before-Times. Maybe I can wear it as a pendant, right next to my necklace made of human fingerbones.

I am SUPER surprised that the smart brick sets haven't sold out.

Thank you!"

Pros:
-You get the set immediately
-Stores oftentimes have GWP longer than online
-Damaged Box Discounts
-PAB Wall
-BAM Bins
-Avoid possible back orders
-Ability to see some sets built
-Human interaction

Cons:
-You may buy more than intended
-Drive Time
-Petrol
-Pressure to build new set right away
-Spouse may discover you just bought the Death Slice
-You may discover you just bought the Death Slice
-Human Interaction ( @TheOtherMike )"

Sadly, in the UK there are no damaged box discounts - I've asked in the closest Lego store to me and the reply was 'we never do that'

They just sell you a damaged box at full RRP?
"

In my limited experience, there are no damaged boxes on shelves in the stores - don't know what they do with the inevitable damaged stock

My nearest lego store is London or Milton Keynes, both a long journey by train or car so online is the best way for me.

I ordered the Monet and I'll be putting the gwo on ebay.

I'll likely pick up the Model T since my dad has one. It will be fun to look at them side by side.

Okay, I know I'm an introvert, but I'm still wondering why you felt the need to @ me there.

"So, where are all the LAN reviews for the SMART PLAY sets? "

My guess is Lego knows that not even the adults they send free toys to would be super positive about those sets. LAN often gets big adult-focus releases where the main issue is price (Which LAN doesn't have to worry about, thus their reviews are positive). The Smart play sets are objectively horrible, so they know adults have no interest anyways.
