As much as I love the enthusiasm of all the AFOL on the forum, there's something absolutely magic about kids showing off their creations.

Kudos HobbyMan

Apologies but I'm off topic, but just wanted to add a quick post. Lurked a bit on the forum recently, but just want to echo what Ron DMC says HobbyMan, fantastic vids and 2 future youtube stars.

My 2 boys 6 and 9 have just (re?)discovered lego after years of sets being left unmade or bricks being unplayed with. My eldest has spent most of his communion money on various star wars sets, 75042 the latest.

9 Year old HAS to have a bowl to put each bag in, wont work without one. Worst of it for me is neither want my help when they make up sets.

Think this is my new favourite forum on boards, hidden gem. Thanks lads and sorry again for going off topic.

My Mini Cooper is in the post.

Hopefully will look good beside the VW Camper and the Sopwith Camel.

I was tempted but decided not to get the Mini. The Mini Mini looks cooler, in fairness.

Love the Sopwith Camel though.

Will most likely get the new Tumbler: http://shop.lego.com/en-IE/The-Tumbler-76023?fromListing=listing

Took advantage of the recent lowish price on Amazon

We have the arctic base camp hidden in a box upstairs waiting on the 9 year olds 10th birthday on Monday. Now I want to get the spaceship as well.

Snap, ordered yesterday to take advantage of the free Mini before that offer finished.

Mine got delivered today. Bigger box than i was expecting. I don't think there was ever a poly bag offer that I cared for. Usually just give them to the neighbours for their grand kid. Picked up the research institute and exo suit as well. RI has apparently shipped but the exo suit is on back order. I didn't realise the run was so limited. I do keep meaning to pick up the sopwith. It's my favour ww1 aircraft and its meant to be EOL soon. Other sets just keep taking its place.

The mini is alit bigger than I was expecting. But its a great looking set.

Just got back from the Grand Prix and picked up these two for free... So technically not purchases but still!

Spocker · 25-08-2014 10:18am

My Tumbler arrived this morning - the box is flippin' massive!

Draco · 02-09-2014 10:53am

My Evo Suit was waiting for me on my desk yesterday. It's a lovely model and a bit bigger than I was expecting.

I also made a bad hyperlapse of building it:

I was in two minds about this set, but having seen the video I actually want one.

But its sold out. And I read something online that they might be making only 10,000 of them. Looks like my luck is out.

Draco · 02-09-2014 12:59pm

I ordered mine a few days after launch and it was sold out then. I think they're releasing them in batches as they're made so it might be worth putting in an order - you won't be changed until it ships anyway.

Usually when it's marked as sold out without an expected ship date that's it no more coming.

If you look at the Tumbler it's sold out but has an expected shipping day, while the exosuit doesn't

The feeling seems to be that more will be released when the current back log of orders is sorted out, so I wouldn't rule it out yet.

About a month before it shipped it was flagged (by the designer IIRC) as having a very limited production run - either 10k or 20k. Not sure if they'll changed that tbh. I'm guessing TLG knows it's an artificial demand, owing to a **** ton of orders coming from scalpers hoping to profit in the long term. There was one guy on brickpicker (a site I detest)claiming he'd managed to secure 57 of them. I'm guessing it's the same story with the research institute.

It's only because I woke early on the day of release, checked Brickset and saw that they were available that I ordered one of each. I wasn't entirely certain that I wanted either, but I was damned if I was paying ebay prices if I changed my mind.

Really like RI actually, it's also slightly galling that you get a printed brick for that tiny 20 euro set and stickers for the 210 euro Tumbler. I'm still not gone on the Exosuit. It's more the "classic-ness" of the theme/minifigs that drew it to me. Really do like the Ideas boxes, but feck if the couldn't have shipped one a third of the size for the Exosuit. It was downright empty.

There are a couple of reports that suggest we might get more, though it's far from certain. Here is a post on the LEGO Ideas blog, it's a little vague but it does make it sound like it would be available again after the back orders are cleared:

https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/1-blog/post/17

And here's a report from The Brothers Brick who had been in touch with someone from LEGO that stated there would be further production runs:

http://www.brothers-brick.com/2014/08/09/fear-not-the-lego-exo-suit-is-not-a-limited-run-news/

I'm waiting for mine still; I ordered it on August 8th. I did it just in time, the next day it went from back ordered to sold out. Expected ship date September 11th.
