Ah, 1 AM really?? Crap

You get an Easter Chick as well as the Bunny's Carrot House (at least, in the UK you do).

Success!!

Ordered it just before midnight. Easter chick and bunny house added to the order too. Really looking forward to getting this. :)

Why do they need an hour to do that??

I don't know. Why hasn't LEGO made a decent functioning website in 25 years?"

Exactly lol

Is this for everyone or VIPS only?

VIPS only until apr 1

Huw, remember this is VIP only.

@DavidBrick:
I checked this afternoon, and the plane was already not showing up in my cart.

" @DavidBrick:

Still there for me

Just a heads up that it's actually available in the US at midnight EST/9 PM PST. Just placed my order and got the Easter Bunny House and...a Vidiyo Sticker Sheet.

It's live in the US. Got the Easter Bunny Carrot House and I snagged one of the WTP prints too. No VIDIYO sticker set for me though. :-(

Pooh showed up here a few minutes after 11 CDT, but the plane was removed from the website well before that and did not appear in my order. Still waiting on the confirmation. I also apparently snagged one of the last 40463 Easter Bunnies for my wife, as it now shows up as Out of Stock/Sold Out (depending on which webpage you look at). I don't recall seeing the sticker sheet show up, in the cart, but frankly, I couldn't care less about 'em.

Went live in the US at 12:03 EST. Glad I didn’t stay up until 1!

At least according to my bank's pending authorization, it looks like 40463 won't be coming our way after all, even though it showed up in my cart, as the bank amount is ~$15 less than it should be. :(
Fingers crossed it'll show up on backorder...

@EDHS1989:
I checked again about an hour ago, from two computers. On one, I was logged in, and on the other I was not. Earhart flew the coop.

Got Pooh at midnight EDT along with the carrot shack. The Vidiyo sticker sheet showed in my cart on checkout, but it's not in my order on the website now.

On sale in US now. I was able to buy one just now.

This is the first time I’ve gotten a set the very moment it was available for VIP. So beyond excited! I was hoping to get the 40463 Easter Bunny too but that is sold out. At least I’m getting the carrot house (and the Winnie the Pooh set!!)

For some reason I was logged out of my VIP account even though I was logged into my lego.com account so it was showing unavailable for me. I figured it wasn't live yet. Thank you for everyone in the U.S. who posted that it was live or I wouldn't have realized I was logged out until who knows when.

Still available here in Germany. The Amelia Earhart GWP is gone though.
Also, why on Earth is the set called "Peter Plys" at Shop at Home over here? What kind of secret message is that supposed to convey? Is that the Danish version of Winnie Pooh? And even if, why call it that in Germany? If anything, call it Winnie Puh if you want to localize it.

Everything went as planned

Yes, thats the danish name.

Always really hated Winnie the Pooh as a kid but seeing as my son loves it I had to purchase.
Now to see if I can stealthily acquire those Bee tiles without him realising !!

" @Huw and everyone
Also, check VIP rewards centre. There are five sketches (art prints?) available depicting various Winnie the Pooh scenes, for 750 VIP points each. Each one is apparently a ,limited edition, only 1000 of each were made.
"

Thanks for this tip! Ordered one as a surprise. One of 5 scenes was already sold out, so if anyone likes these i'd be fast...

Only "Once upon a time" says: 1/500. Ordered this one, since the other one with all five figures was already sold out.

Urgh, I didn't realise you couldn't add more than 1 VIP reward code to an order. Have redeemed points for all 5 Winnie the Pooh sketches but only able to add 1 to the order. Will now have to do 4 more orders within 60 days to get the remaining 4! How annoying. (I called them to see if they could help but they can't).

I think it's only one physical VIP reward per order. If you were getting other stuff like the desktop wallpapers or colouring sheets you could probably add as many as you like.

Thank you Brickset for the reminder email this morning as a little extra incentive to get up and order early on a day off work. I used up VIP points for the first time since they changed the system and it went smoothly. I was very surprised that Lego still included the GWP Carrot House as I only actually paid $20:)

So it makes total sense on the German version of the site. ;-)
At first I had misread it as Peter Pan and thought they had accidentally revealed a future set of that franchise...

Sorry, tried your link from my email but was only transported to a gateway 504 whatever that is. Got me a Pooh tho.

I had the same problem that it went out of stock before I had a chance to order it. Same thing happened with the Valentine's Day Bear. I did end up getting both for the retail price by ordering from LegoLand in California. The shipping is a flat fee for anything less than 49.99 so I got a few other things as well but it's definitely better than waiting to see if it comes back in stock or paying up for it on e-Bay.

Same here, that wasn't made clear at all

I need a Pooh!

@Bycougars:
I get that with Ideas sometimes. I stay logged in to my VIP account on one computer, and I've noticed that when I open the site, it can take a little while before the top bar updates to show that I am still logged in. I opened the Ideas site last night and voted on the Space project (with one day left before voting closes)...and it said I needed to log in or register first. I clicked the button to take me to the log in page, and that was all it took for my VIP account to catch up so I could vote.

@NathanR2015:
Do you have to actually place an order to redeem the digital-only VIP rewards? I mean, that makes sense if you're redeeming points to get money off online purchases, since you need something to spend that money on, but computer printouts? You should get access to those immediately.

Anyways, I'd seen someone mention something about being able to call the phone number and have them manually add on a code for a physical VIP reward (which they absolutely can do, provided the order hasn't advanced too far in their system). However, I asked about this, and was told that even by phone they can't add a second physical reward code. If you put one in yourself during checkout, that's the limit. If you call them up after placing an order without a code, they can add one manually, and that's the limit.

@LegoMike:
I've never let a VIP reward sit around long enough to expire, but I've seen conflicting reports on what happens. Are the points just gone, or do they get credited back to your account as soon as the reward option expires?

My sentiments exactly! With all of the $$$ these guys are raking in... you think they would build a better platform. When this new website went live a few years ago it was terrible and its still terrible today.

That’s a good question. I didn’t think to ask.
The Lego guys didn’t imply that this would be the case either.
I too haven’t let the rewards sit around generally but I had a nightmare with the Porsche VIP pack. I had it in my bag, had a trauma trying to enter the 3 codes (not realising you could only enter 1), and so it was over 20 mins before I screenshot the confirmation page showing the pack. With all the shenanigans that followed for so many, I too had it confirmed by Lego that I wouldn’t be receiving the VIP pack.
Bizarrely it was in the box when the Porsche arrived. Had me scratching my head. Lol

VIP only availability yet still already sold out lol

My only issue with the set is the marketing email Lego sent out to VIPs says "The gang's all here" when quite literally it is not. As the review here notes, there are several key characters that are not included. Either the marketing was written by someone unfamiliar with the cast of Winnie the Pooh or they're majoring on fluff and exaggeration. Either way, that's lame.

I am not a VIP, but when I clicked on the link to lego.com through Brickset, I was able to order the set. When I went to lego.com directly, I was not able to order. Very interesting.

I was saying I was disappointed when they had the medieval blacksmith's' shop instead of this (turns out that's not the case), but now that i know this came out anyway, I'm pretty happy! I still think the Blacksmith shop is beautiful.

I do wish it came with a swing, I could push him so far, he would fall on Eeyore's howse. Any Lego minifigs with brown spiky hair? And a Keyblade?

Will LEGO get this back in stock by April first? They can’t release a set that’s out of stock already can they?

The mos eisley cantina sold out when it released early for vips, and didn’t get restocked for months. If it’s anything like that, then it likely won’t be in stock come April 1st.

Then it's probably just a typo in the Dutch description. It seems more logical that all five have the same batch size, so it's probably 1000 for all. Although on a German site I read that 360 of each would be available. I don't think the amounts are per country. In that case small countries would get relatively more items.
