I think I may have to wait until June 1st to get this baby so I can get the Winter Soldier offer. Look forward to your review.

In the US it still shows available Jun 1st and I am signed into my VIP account.

Yep, in the US (west coast) it's only 10pm, or 22:00, May 12 and is not allowing me in. There's also no reference anywhere that I can find that it will be available on the 13th but looking forward to it.

I also tried in Chrome just to make sure it wasn't a browser issue.

Wasn't too positive about the model AND haven't seen it irl yet (which can lure you into buying :-), but I just ordered it through the Belgian Online Store (07:25 am). Why? Because Dark Ages are a thing of the past my friend.

Sadly no (free) extra's this time but going over a thousand VIP points on my balance :-))

(It says I posted this from Germany: I'm actually in Austria at the moment for my job and ordered simply on my iPad using Safari)

I saw the model yesterday in the Lego Store Euralille in France, and it was on sale for VIP's! Looks nice, but not really my thing...

Local Lego store confirms it will be available at 10am today for VIP's. In approximately nine hours I will be about $215 cash poorer! LOL Think it can be a great display piece for mini figure collectors. I'm already planning on mod'ing some of the cars with differing colors!!!

It's been on sale for NZ for the last few hours (since mid-afternoon at least). Tempting, but not when postage adds 25% to the already inflated NZ price. £150 should be NZ$300, but the store has it listed at $350, then there's $80 p+p. So that £150/$300 set would cost £215/$430. Once again, LEGO alienate potential buyers because of their pricing policy. I'll wait till it's available through other sources for 30-40% less...

4am and still not available on the US East Coast to VIPs. Looking forward to the review, but also imagining a $300-plus roller coaster that could be next in the carnival rides series...

Damn you Lego.
Was saving my VIP points balance for the H2 Technic Truck - but have now added this to the backlog of sets I've still to build (inc 3x modulars, Sydney Opera House, Kwik-e-Mart, Sandcrawler, Fairground Mixer - arrghhhh)

And I'm still sitting here and waiting for the Ninjago D2C Temple reveal...

This is a very cool model too, though, but @fulcrumbop a rollercoaster would be insane!

Is there an Poly for the GErman VIp Customers?

>Pirates Chess ... Hopefully they have fixed the glaring error in the intructions.

What error had been in the instructions?

2 in the bag. I remembered back in 2009 when 10196 was available, I made the 'mistake' to order only 1, and I've regretted ever since. This will be a classic.

Like Block-n-Roll; the AUD price again doesn't correlate to USD price. At least Australia gets free shipping at that price. I too will now be waiting, or at least until there is a decent promotion. Getting it early really doesn't make it that worthwhile. Heck, since most of the "exclusives" get to other retail shops sooner or later (Including the Exo-suit) that will have sales, waiting is usually the better option.

@thehornedrat what was "the glaring error" in the intruction of the 40158 set? I have ordered 3 sets when it was available during "its first wave in LEGO.com" and... I haven't noticed any error in the instructions...

The chess set board is set up wrong (the rightmost square should be white as you look at the board). Is that the error you mean? I assume not as that's not just an instructions error, but also a box/photo/artwork error too. I built half of my chess set when it was first released but for some reason I haven't finished it. I can't remember any mistake. I'm intrigued now though.
