[QUOTE="Mr-shifter, post: 459456, member: 4949"] It's all bullshit. It sold out instantaneously. Now I had made enquiries about stock in a couple of local ish lego shops. Here in the southeast we get deliveries on a Monday. So I call up Brighton in the afternoon. 8 came in on the delivery. 2 sold to people who had waited in store all day. 1 person was en route and no reservations. So I jumped in the car and drove down. 1 hr later and I got it. There were 4 still in the store. They will be restocked consistently in small numbers every week to help perpetrate the myth they are difficult to get and then at Christmas they will drop loads. It's all just a strategy. Incidentally, I can't build mine yet as it's my daughters birthday party on Saturday and we need the dining table. I'm then off on holiday so it's a treat for when I get back. I normally bin the boxes but I will have to keep this one so I have got all the bags out and put them in carrier bags in their numbered groups so I can get the box up to the loft. This is what the set contains: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7830.JPG"]33004._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7831.JPG"]33005._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
