- 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank - Collectors' Edition

Additionally, from today until the 13th of September, there are two GWPs on offer when you buy Harry Potter sets. 30651 Quidditch Practice is free when you spend over £35/$40/€40 and 40598 Gringotts Vault is free with purchases over £115/$130/130. So, purchase the bank and/or the castle and you'll bag both.

Anyone else getting the "wanna play a game"? No. I just want the site to work.
Was put in the queue for a few mins, but am in now. I live in the United States, if that makes any difference
I’m in the site, but the September 1st sets aren’t available yep, typical LEGO shop at home experience…
I put 2 things in my cart, and LEGO says I don't have anything in there. I keep refreshing but nothing is working. It actually says I have 2 things in there, but when I go to check out it says I have nothing.
I'm in, added Gringotts and it says I have 3 items in my cart. Then when I try to look at my cart it says it is empty.

Having the same problem
Me too....can't check out....
6 items in my cart but the site keeps saying my bag is empty :(
Guess LEGO won't be making any money from me tonight. I don't have time for their foolishness.
I had the same “bag is empty” issue. Just kept reloading and finally got it, but then couldnt complete the sale. Finally got back into the bag and managed to complete it using the “express checkout” option.
Well... depending on your time zone, it's not necessarily September 1st yet!
@Huw Concorde and Insects due on the 4th.
I can get into my cart, but when i want to pay money......error again....
I got everything except for access to my cart

Yep. No problem putting things in the cart, but actually getting to check out...impossible.

me to typical lego
If you're having difficulty checking out, try using the "Express Checkout" option. It worked for me.
You have to scan a special brick and add a certain set's QR code. Then the prize is access to your cart, once in a 1000 tries!
We can’t even get the site to recognize we have things in the cart!
“Only the best thing is good enough”…

Can't even get that far.
Lego can build giant factory's open lots of new shops produce some great sets but cannot build a website that works

Try to pay by Apple pay, but still not success.

Same here
I tried all sorts of seemingly random things like logging out or logging in with the same browser but in a different, isolated session or logging in via a whole other browser. Went back to where I started. Eventually, refreshes on the empty cart page would show my cart. Tried multiple times to pay on site and that failed. So, Express Checkout using PayPal it was. At least a hold charge may it to my credit card company via PayPal to it appears to have been successful.

If only it let me log in, in the first place
What a pain. Two orders finally placed using Express Checkout.
First order for Gringotts the 2 GWP's and the Fantasy Adventure Reward along with $300 worth of insider points cashed in ended up costing me $138.70.
Second order for Triwizard Tournament, Room of Requirements, the Harry Potter Play & Display Case, the Harry Potter Minifigure Display Case & the two GWP's, Cashed in my Discover Cashback rewards so it all cost me just $40.69.
Refreshed over and over, tried Chrome, logged out and then in again, etc,etc etc. Had to clear browser history then it worked, after over an hour of trying. C’mon Lego spend a few dollars on some servers, happens every big launch! I love Lego, but it should be a lot easier to spend some $ than this.
I tried to order and their survey popped up, couldn't place order but the survey worked just fine. Of course they failed the survey, as I gave them 0s and gave them my thoughts about their online ordering and my failed order after 1.5hours.
Hogwarts castle and grounds ordered around midnight with the two GWP :-)

Well it worked ok for me. 4 harry potter orders later and still working."
It immediately logs me out when I press log in on my google account
Thanks for the tip of the express checkout, that was the only way to place an order (with excessive refresh to see the shopping basket as not empty)
Far and away the worst experience I’ve ever had with LEGO’s website.
Took an hour of refreshing to get to my cart, just for the Hogwarts Grounds, and check out using “express checkout” with PayPal (secure checkout led to an error page). My order was cancelled; so was the next one I tried to place. Emails told me that my orders “didn’t pass our validation check.”
After more than two hours and logging out and back in multiple times, I was able to access the secure checkout. Remains to be seen if this order will stick.
Glowing 1HY earnings report shared here earlier this week yet LEGO can’t pay for a functioning website. Unbelievable.
Edit: Cancelled. That’s 3 in a row, reached the limit. I don’t know what to do now.
Is pre-ordering not available for everything?
I don't buy a lot from LEGO.com (or from anywhere these days!) but the one set I HAD to get (The Ghost) was available to order over a month ago (with two GWPs at the time).
Apologies if this post screams naïveté.
Finally able to place order. after 2+hours! Figured out the trick to stop getting empty cart error message so I could finish my order finally!!! They need to fire their IT people.

I know what I would do in that case.
But I'm not allowed to talk about it here, so you might be able to guess what it is ;-)
Took me about 30 minutes from midnight of refreshing a basket with many items but apparently empty, as well as occasionally getting through but then couldn't checkout. A little frustrating but glad it didn't go on much longer. Bought the castle and a few upcoming birthday presents.
No problems here. Really wanted Concorde and Insects but they are not available yet, so I went for Chewbacca and Hogwarts Icons instead!

It was far from glowing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66658909
Ordered Gringot Ts this morning without issue.
I did notice the issues last night and found if I added a 2nd item to the cart it allowed me in. I then had to edit the amounts from the cart.
For all the issues that have occurred with the site in the past, this was a new one to me
Actually, as I side note regarding the gwp……… 76417 was on a
Lego wish list I have titled ‘Hesitating’. I removed it last week in a moment of total common sense. Far too expensive and at 50 I need to nail this adulting lark.
But now the gwp. Not only did 76417 get put back on the list but I’ve gone bloody ordered it.
The wife went to see family this morning, not back til tomorrow.
I have 24 hrs until I get ripped a new one.
I hate adulting ;-)

You are not allowed to write:” just wait”? :)
Reading these comments, it’s like a one time offer from Lego.
Anyone know if there will be a seasonal set released for halloween this year?
Got 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds.
I didn't fancy a £370 set with only £115 threshold GWPs, so 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank can wait for Houses of the World 4!

They only do preorders on a small number of sets. I don't know how they decide which ones get it.
I saw Chewbacca available at Target yesterday.
