Lego

That carpet though

Do you always lay your Lego out on tracing paper?

I'm currently at my parents' as I've just moved halfway across Europe and I haven't got internet in my flat yet. The plastic is some crap from Ikea as not to damage the carpet underneath the chair

Brickset seems to say otherwise. I say if you want one just pay £50 on eBay now before prices rise further.

Still says sold out for me. However, imagine as the odd order is cancelled, etc, then there will be opportunities to order the odd one, but they won't be producing more.

It was the lego designer that made the ideas model production ready that stated it would be a single run only, can't get much more reliable than that.

Hope no-one was daft enough to panic buy and spend the £50.00+ on eBay...
Lego Ideas Blog confirms that there will be more exo suits\research institutes

We knew they were taking back orders. The problem is it sounds like the back orders have already accounted for all of the next production run (of the Exo Suit at least) meaning they are all already sold.

Based on what? The Delorean was in the same boat, and if demand exceeds the stock, they add another run. All this panic from one quote taken out of context.

The fact the site was taking back orders for a while, and then it changed to out of stock. They have confirmed there is more stock coming, but that could just fulfil all the existing back orders.

Not very big, this Mini

Want!!! No... NEEED!!!

And it's big Brother!!!

Shame about the price though

Shame about the price though

Exactly what I thought. I was totally going to order it and then I saw the price. Sod that!

USA - $200 (£120)
UK - £160
EUR - €220 (£175)

US price is fine, EUR price is a total rip-off!

Lego store Sheffield said there would be stock for weeks.

Feel like shipping me one?

Don't you have to add the tax to the usa price ?

Depends on the state, but it ranges from 0-11%.
So $220, which is still a lot less than £160!

Going from a quick Google would be $212 (£127) for florida (6%)

Once you add $50 for shipping there's no point

Wanna buy me a flight over instead?

 

[sunny007]
