Blue Fiat 500 available again for international buyers
Posted by Huw,
77942 Fiat 500 is back in stock at Zavvi, so if you're outside of the UK this will be your last chance to acquire it: when this stock is exhausted, that's it. International shipping is, of course, available, and is reasonably priced.
So, buy now at Zavvi while stocks last!

I just snagged one from the UK website (I live in the US, too) worth it to me to get one before it sells out. Thx, Huw!

@Huw - how do you know/are you sure this is the last restock by Zavvi?
If only they’d chosen the Porsche 911 for re-colour duties instead of the hideous Fiat. A lime green 911 would have been sweet
It's gone in Italy at zavvi.it, there's no way to get it. And no way to reach zavvi uk.
Thanks for the tip. See you in 14-30 days my sweet!
@tyresoflaherty, thank you for the US delivery help.
I believe it's only being sold on the UK Zavvi site this time, but it makes no difference as it all ships from the same place.
@wiggy, yes, that's what I've been told.
Broke down and bought one. Don’t have the original colour and for me this is expensive but at this manufactured rarity I might as well. At least if I someday decide to get the other recolours they might be cheaper — might — since they are a lot smaller.
Also the £5 promo code for joining the mailing list didn’t work and shipping is cheap but not tracked (no other option). Not sure about the integrity here.
Poor company, shame those out the UK have to resort to these jokers.
Bad shipping (boxes and time) and possibly the worst customer service I've had the misfortune to encounter.
Shame Brickset encourage people to spend at The Hut Group and shame LEGO do exclusive to them. Only ever made two purchase from them and I was let down massively both times.
1st time, item came 2 weeks late and squashed (thought it was a one off so let them off)
2nd time, item never arrived, took a whole month chasing them up for a refund (never again)
I bought my blue Fiat last time, and received it well within the estimated time of delivery, in perfect condition. My € 5 coupon didn't work either.
I got around the "cookie wall" that wouldn't let me reach zavvi.uk and placed my order. Just £2,99 shipping, that's pretty good.
Thank you, Brickset.
Mine arrived packed well from UK to US. I will buy from these guys again.
FWIW, i've had several orders to the US and they've arrived on-time (or more quickly than expected) and in great shape. Just sharing my positive experiences, lest anyone be put off on getting this great, unique set by other posts on here. Good luck!
I never understand the hate for Zavvi. I've ordered loads of stuff from them (from Lego to lightsabers) and never had any problems with the packaging.
Just ordered one. Experience ordering was great. Only 3.99 British Pounds for shipping. Proof will be when box arrives.
Now if they can release more sets for the Bricklink castle that they reserved for scalpers too so fans can actually get the set at a reasonable price.
I also personally had no problems with Zavvi. This was my first time using them, but the Fiat shipped cheap and arrived quickly without issue or damages.
I ordered mine from them here in Aussie last time, arrived in a very reasonable time frame and in perfect condition.
Mine arrived crushed and damaged. Would NOT recommend. Customer Service didn't seem all that helpful either.

I can understand the hate as in the past I have had plenty of bad experiences with them.
But when I ordered the Fiat (together with some other small items) when it was first available, everything went smoothly and delivery was quick and everything arrived in perfect condition. So maybe they have finally learned how to get their act together.
Does anybody know when they sold out?
They haven't.
Although I have no interest in this set, I really appreciate the fact that Brickset makes posts like these. Thanks for looking out for us!!!
Oct. 10, 2021: MY order is STILL processing from Zavvi from September 6.
And still no way to get in touch with Customer Service. What a scam!
