Lol the site is definitely buggered. My confirmation email has a different order number to my account. Confirmation mail link shows it as being in warehouse. Account link give me what I think is someone else's orders!
I just went on the site and clicked to view my orders...
There are 6 different orders listed, the oldest one is in 2014 and says "waiting for stock"... none of them are from 2017, and my VIP account is brand new from a few weeks ago... Oh dear oh dear!
Edit: After clicking refresh it's back to normal showing my single correct order from earlier...
When I was in the Manchester store the other day I asked if she was ready for today's chaos. She said "do you think it'll be busy? Other limited releases haven't been all that" and I felt bad for her.
Oops. Guess she didn't know how popular this UCS set is about to become.
Or Lego drip fed a relatively small amount of pre order stock to make it look like crazy demand.
Metrocenter store was allowing none VIP members to sign up for VIP at the till to get one. I was 25th in line, they had 24 in stock, only got told after 40 minutes of queuing to be told none left. They had around 8 new VIP sign ups.
Utter disgrace from LEGO allowing it, whats the putting a VIP launch if you can sign up on the day![]()
