Thanks, never ordered direct from Lego as it is normally cheaper else where.
Mines has been shipped, they are using Yodel so could be interesting on the condition of the box !

I suspect it has a high risk of being scammed, also possible for someone to get build it re box it and send it back all at your expense. Postage is not going to be cheap due to the weight.

Plus I bought it to enjoy building it for myself, not to try and exploit someone more unlucky/foolish/impatient than me for a quick profit
Yeah I wouldn't do it over paypal. Ugh the thought. But collection maybe. I dunno. If it's not worth it I won't. I'd rath not. Can't beli people can't wait!
Highest sold at is 900. Some sellingfor 799. That's crazy when fees will be near 80 quid!

Lego have announced they are now totally out of stock and it won't be available for sale on 1st of October to non VIP members with no time scale on when it will be available again. A good profit may be possible in the next 4 weeks.
14k sold in a few hours, the old 10179 set was rumoured to be 20k over 4 years.

Where has this been announced?
Totally meaningless when they let people become VIP members immediately before or during purchase

I can become a VIP on 30 seconds online, what difference does it make? It's a mailing list not a secret society.
You mean you don't know the handshake?
Precisely. So why have separate opening events for VIP members only?
So they encourage more people to sign up. The 'VIP' system is Lego's version of the Tesco Clubcard - the data will be used to monitor purchase trends and push out Lego advertising to interested customers.
My 5 year old is a member but I prefer not to pay full RRP for Lego so it's never used to gather loyalty points and Amazon get my custom instead.
Quite possibly. But to try and make it sound like an exclusive sort of event is disingenuous in that case. Though they're far from the only ones that do it.

Surely for £850 when you knock off 15% in fees and whatever postage will be you'll be around £650 for the seller anyway?go onto ebay, search lego 75192, then click sold listings
One guy is selling pre-orders saying stock available from 1st October for £850+.
one other seller has sold a set on bids for £1201+£50 P&P and its supposedly signed by the designers.
Yeah not worth it

Depends how you work the numbers. If you bought two then you could've got £100 back in quidco and vip points, so break even on selling the second kit would only be about £620 (£549 + 13%). So you sell for £850 and that makes you £230, which takes the cost of the first one down to £419.

Well I've no idea what's happening with my order - it still lists itself as "in warehouse" and I have had a confirmation email but no dispatch email... wait and see I suppose although hopefully I was quick enough to actually get one that is in stock (my order completed before 08:00am, maybe around 07:45am)

Reading on some other forums, it looks like back orders are expected to be fulfilled 6th December, so I imagine any new orders will now be after Christmas.
