Thanks @tcsbgdady! I was hoping to make it there right at 10:30 today, but the kids are not cooperating this morning. I will be there at some point today, so if you have to head out, feel free to tuck them in somewhere and I can collect them whenever it is I’m able to make it out today. Thanks again!
@tcsbgdady Please toss mine into the pile (as well as the others [3 series worth total, I think?]) if you do happen to be heading to the International Lego Day this weekend. And once again, thanks for going through the effort to coordinate and get these for us!
I was able to place my order (and the promo code was accepted) later on 11/29. Just received both the promo item and my order today. Of note, the pseudo-Classic space minifigs in the promo are lacking their air tanks; it looked like that was the case in the images I’d seen and I was hopeful that it was just bad angles, but alas, no air tanks.
Which is right now, and for the past several minutes, I have not been able to get onto lego-dot-com. I’ve been placed in a “waiting room” due to “high demand”, which refreshes automatically every 20 seconds. At first I wondered if the site had been hacked, but I’m wondering if this explains it. Everybody’s trying to get their orange astronauts before they sell out.
I was able to redeem the points for the reward and received the email/see the reduction of Insiders Points. Now when I attempt to apply the promo code, I’m getting a “This Promotion code is not valid, please try again” message. Hoping that it’s just something related to the current massive influx of traffic on the shop.lego.com website and things will settle down in a bit. Checking the reward page now looks like everything is “View Information” and clicking into any just has a “We are under maintenance. Please come back later to redeem rewards.” message.
Not entirely sure if getting the (hopefully valid) promo code essentially reserves the reward or what. I guess I’ll find out once I get around to trying to redeem the the promo code I received.
It appears this is an Insiders Reward available for redemption with 2400 Insiders points. Goes live 11/29.
@tcsbgdady I’ll take one, if you’ve still got extra sets.
@tcsbgdady Thanks again for your services! Would you be able to send the set for me along with @knb112 (thank you as well!)? I can collect at the Q1 meeting (hopeful we’ll be able to make it to Q1).
Thanks for digging into this, @joshhall – looks like this functionality has been restored, much appreciated!
Have there been any updates that removed the Topic Freshness functionality from the forum? I was able to reliably find all new posts in a fairly easy manner with this but now am getting an Oops! That page can’t be found. error message when attempting to access the bookmarked link and no longer see this as an option at the very bottom of any forum page in the Forum Tools section.
🙁
Here’s the link that no longer functions for me – https://www.steelcitylug.com/forum/view/topics-freshness/
Oh? New M-from, Blacktron, Ice Planet, and City space figs? The pink space baby and space penguin are also great additions as well! Count me in, please, if you’re doing the needful.
@tcsbgdady Thanks! I hope to be able to stop by at some point but can’t quite say when that will be – our days at dictated by the whims of a 2.5-yo and 5-month old. 🙂
@legoleia51 Oh, thanks! I would very much like that. Similarly, I’ll find you at the mall event if/when we’re able to make it.So I have 2 complete sets for sale and 1 partial as described above:
Referee
Astronaut
Mascot
Falconer
T-Rex
Orc
Potter
Aristocrat
Rockin’ Horse Rider
Newspaper Kid.
@tcsbgdady I’m interested in a complete set and also an extra Aristocrat if available.Excited for this one – takes me back to childhood. Slightly disappointed that the blacktron-specific pieces appear to be stickered rather than printed. I know this keeps costs down and helps fit within design constraints, though this also seems to indicate this one is indeed a one-off with no intention of bringing the theme back full force. Still happy to see these types of throwback sets being made in recent years.
If anyone is still looking for ‘em in tbe wild, Settlers Ridge Barnes and Noble had a fairly fresh box of Muppets CMF behind the checkout counter. Folks working there just handed the box over to allow me to feel for any that I was looking for.
