Not able to add to bag yet...
Not live in the US yet. It sounds like from what I've seen other people say these don't go live until mid morning the next day now instead of midnight like general availability.

I hope that's not true, it would be really irritating. Hopefully this doesn't sell out quickly.
Would be curious to know if HUW sees it as available or if this is a general post that it should be live now...?

I hope it's not true. I missed out on the Super Mario pre-order and bonus because I didn't know it went on sale and I was doing mission critical work with our company's COVID-19 plans. Yeah I know it's only a Lego set, but man I had really been looking forward to getting that day one with the Lego bonus, really was a gut punch when I got home that day and saw it was already gone.
Yup, still can't add to bag at 00:46 in NY.
This is a day-one purchase. I'll be check again at 1:00AM CST and then at 7:00AM CST.
Not just a North American problem: unable to add to bag in UK too (not looking to own this set; just curious).
Oddly, there's a box which says it's available to VIPs from today, and invites me to become a VIP even though I am definitely signed in.
Now, this seems unlikely, but could there be a problem with LEGO's e-commerce platform...? (Insert eyeroll here)
It's available to purchase in Australia, so there must be another reason for the delay
Not live in US at 12AM must be what they deem will be popular sellers or something because the Monkie Kid sets were live 15 minutes before 12AM for that release.
I can imagine the person(s) at LEGO responsible for updating the site grinning with delight as no one can guess when it'll go live.
Same in the Netherlands, no option to add it to the shopping bag unfortunatly

Same here, even now it’s 8:00....
Lego has really been knocking it out of the park lately with sets like these, it's crazy
Still can’t add to bag as of 7.35AM uk time
09:00 in Billund maybe! 20 minutes.
*insert the "Still waiting" meme here*
(Not buying it today, but I was just curious to see how fast it would sell out.)
Still not available on BE store.

nope...
Any of the other June 1st releases getting listed early?
Any of the City sets or the White House architecture set perhaps?
Now I was able to order it in the Netherlands (perhaps live from 9:00 UK Time?)
Yes, It's live. Go, go, go
Its up for order in germany too :)
Just ordered 3 minutes ago (10:03)
And this time Huw, I used your link.
Just ordered! Only two attempts to confirm payment! No GWP’s though!
And ordered. Yay - indeed no GWP's, not even that recently reviewed Buggy?!
So...are none of the Minifigures named? I didn’t see anything in the set description.
Wasn't too worried about no GWP. Numourous must have sets coming up to get any worthwhile upcoming gifts!
These 9 AM releases in Europe really need to stop. They make no sense whatsoever.
Between midnight and 9 AM, I kept refreshing hourly to see when it would go live. I've seen, in that time, the Disney Castle and the Tree House be put back on sale and going out of stock again.
So no GWP isn't surprising. LEGO is likely facing severe constraints in their production lines so they can't mass produce gifts. They could have made it double VIP but alas, that'd be asking too much probably.
Ordered.. I'm getting tired of staying until midnight or waiting for the next morning (worst time for me). Why not adding the option of pre-ordering all the new sets announcements? Like the Razor Crest or the Mario set for example..

oh
I'm interested, but this is proving to be an expensive month. I think I can afford to wait a few weeks.

Gone, gone, gone!
Sold out now, it seems.
Would love to know the stock levels that were available for this set. Only available to VIP's, aimed at the adult collector, and it's not cheap. Yet sells out in 2 hours? No doubt there will be loads on ebay soon. Was there a basket limit? A restriction to 1 per household would be handy for things like this.
Just ordered by phone, the lady said they had 919 sets left in stock but the website says "sold out" at the same time, strange.....

Limit of one.
What time did it become available in the U.K.?
Did it bog down the website?
How quickly did it sell out?
Any info regarding these questions is much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, very expensive... Lego House, Dinosaurs and Tree. Then Liebherr R 9800 cheap on Amazon. Then Haunted House. And still got Pirates of Barracuda Bay, Pirate Ship, White House and Ducati on the wanted list!

On the plus side - Mario preorder is now live again in the US. Just pulled the trigger on that while waiting for the haunted house.

Maybe phone and web orders have there own separate allocated stock.
So nice I live 400m from a store. They only had 25 and no goodies or feeebies :(
All these issues with the Lego website... add it to all the issues I’ve had recently.
The good news: no stickers, all prints!
The printing quality of the instructions are so so

What? There’s a set actually in stock on the Australian site?
Still not available to add to bag in USA. This is ridiculous.
Still not available in US!
Just finished a call to US LEGO - goes live at 0900 hrs East Coast time. They apologized for not putting that info on the site. The lady was very polite and apologetic!
0658 CT - site went live - ordered with free buggy!
9am EST according to customer service
@isawred said:
"9am EST according to customer service "
That is such poor messaging on their end. If it isn’t available until a certain time they should say so publicly.
Sometimes I think that TLG doesn’t think to much of us rubes that purchase their products with such loyalty. Maybe I’ll just take the pile of cash I was willing to throw at TLG and purchase the retired UCS sandcrawler I’ve been eyeing on Craigslist instead. Stop playing games with your fan base TLG and fix your buggy website!
Come on lego.... get your act together. I am a serious adult collector, not a reseller and I cannot get the new items as they are out of stock withing 2 hours !! Very frustrating.. off to spend my hundreds of pounds you would have got on something else to keep me amused during lockdown.
I just placed my order on the Canadian site...
It's live in the U.S. (I'm in Florida) - order placed.
Just ordered on the US site... woohoo!
I really hope this hangs around awhile... I need to get Pirates of Barracuda Bay first, and that's not a cheap set either :/
Just able to order it in the US with no problem (6:01 PST). I love the weirdness of also getting the Beach Buggy with it!

I'm sure the set itself will be available for at least a year or two, but I think it'll sell out quickly and be out of stock for a while like Barracuda Bay. I was going to get Barracuda Bay first but figured I'd just jump on this one immediately since one is out of stock but the other one's currently available.

Same here. Although Pirates is a great summer build display and this is much more appropriate for fall. What are you gonna do though?
I had placed mine by phone right before it went live (US).

That's true, I didn't even think about the seasons! I'll just get Barracuda Bay when it's available again if I can afford it.
Finally able to order mine... now I'm going back to sleep. Uggh I hate these 9AM EST releases. If they had announced in advance the time it would've been available it wouldn't be so bad but they've always been so inconsistent with these releases.
Well, I'll buy it soon and that will be by December.
They seem to be available again on the UK site.
I haven't been able to properly login to my Lego VIP account since they made that change back in 2019. It's so unbelievably frustrating! I've been trying to get the Haunted House since last night.
Just ordered mine live in Canada

You’ll have to call TLG to have them fix your VIP account. It’s the only way.
USA: I received the official email offer at 8:42AM CST and ordered at 9:03AM. I was only allowed to order one set. It was already in my bag when I logged in from my phone. It had been in my wish list and somehow when I tried to add it to my bag, it said "limit exceeded", but then it was already in my bag. I completed the order no problem.

If it's in your bag already and you go back to the item page then that's why you're getting the limit exceeded message. However, if you complete the order and try again you don't get the same message. I think LEGO will probably cancel it manually, though.
Impressive, my order shipped already. Excited to get this and build it out asap.

Mine too! DHL will deliver on friday due to bank holiday in Norway tomorrow. Can't wait to start building it. See ya l8r family ;)
Mine shipped about an hour ago, excited!
Not as impressive....My order went through this am, but got an email at 2pm stating it is backordered and will ship June 11th..... :(....at least it is coming.
My order also went thru as backordered but now up to Jun 29.
Got a free beach buggy GWP too
Have to admit, I'm not thrilled with this haunted house. I like the Monster Hunters one they did a few years back far more.
Ordered mine this morning thinking nothing of it. I would’ve tried to stay up past midnight to order but was too tired and it slipped my mind. I checked my order and it’s “In Warehouse.” I’m happy I got it in because now it says back orders accepted and will ship July 6th! This was on sale for a few hours and not even for everyone, what’s going to happen with it’s open for everyone on June 1st?
Already on backorder til July, even for VIP. What happened to the midnight releases? Was deciding between the Haunted House and the upcoming Technic Lambo. Looks like I got my choice picked out for me, just a matter on getting it in time. Certainly glad I got that Barracuda Bay when released
This was a total scam. And sham... Purchased it with no issues, then get an email two hours later out of stock, deliver not until after June 11th. What’s the point Lego for VIP members... thanks for nothing.

You’ll still get the set though. They are really having a hard time keeping up with the demand right now given the current state of things in the world. It doesn’t help either that they have production slowed down or closed in some areas. I think it’s worth taking a deep breath and waiting a few extra weeks. Yes I understand that it stings and that they should honor it, but things happen.
I'm frankly astonished that my set got shipped same day (I guess same night; got the notification it had shipped around 8 PM). I've never had it take less than a week for LEGO to ship an order from their warehouse in recent years. I'm sorry for anyone who got caught with an unexpected delay; I'd be frustrated too.
Ordered mine as soon as it went live on Wednesday morning and as of now it still hasn’t dispatched yet! Still showing in warehouse!
Received mine this morning. Feels bad for everyone not able to get one. But I’m impressed by how fast delivery was !
Got mine this morning. I think 3 days from Belgium to UK is pretty good going!
Started building today. Got to bag 2 and have discovered that two different types of pieces are missing (2x 1x1 dark brown and 2x 1x2 dark gray). On top of that, inside bag 2 were pieces not needed for that instruction section. This is the first time I’ve ever run into genuine missing pieces... can definitely tell they’re missing because of the extra not needed pieces in their place. Anyone else run into an issue? I’m in the US.

Wow I ordered mine at 915am on Wednesday morning and mine is still showing in warehouse not dispatched yet! Anyone else been waiting still?
