irishgeo · 08-06-2017 12:58pm

i think they way underestimated demand.

TitianGerm · 08-06-2017 1:15pm

Just got a shipping confirmation. Ordered 31/5/17 around 10pm.

quad_red · 08-06-2017 1:17pm

So.

Bad.

But how would I keep my 5 and 3 year old off this?

I order one too but not until the 3rd, said backordered to July 11th but then changed to June 29th. So maybe they're increasing production now.....

Sparko · 08-06-2017 8:33pm

I ordered mine the evening of the 1st, shipping notification received this afternoon so should have it next week sometime.

Thargor · 08-06-2017 10:29pm

Why is this so cheap compared to other sets? And I assume NASA is a licence aswell...

Tempted to grab a few more and shrinkwrap them in the attic for the future.

madalig12 · 08-06-2017 11:05pm

Mine shipped today...sweet!

I'd say it's cheap precisely because NASA don't take licence fees.

I can't afford to splash out on toys at the moment which is making me start to get worried I'm going to miss out on this before it's retired...

You could Brick link the printed pieces before it retires and then go up in value. The rest of the parts you could BL at a different date

uck51js9zml2yt · 09-06-2017 3:03pm

Mine has shipped

Mr Bloat · 09-06-2017 3:47pm

Does anyone know if this will ever be sold in regular shops or will it just be sold by Lego online?

It's not a Shop at Home exclusive. It's selling in plenty of stores in the UK, nothing here yet.

uck51js9zml2yt · 14-06-2017 12:38pm

Mine arrived today and it sitting in my office in work:)

Order it on the Lego site and It will go on backorder for shipping later.

Redderneck · 17-06-2017 2:04pm

Young lad nearly wet himself when he rocked home from school to see it waiting for him in his 'workshop'. It's a cracking bit of kit indeed.

ATM backordering has stopped.
Still in some of the physical shops in England.

shotgunmcos · 18-06-2017 8:31pm

Built it. It's awesome. So awesome the fruit flies even gathered on it instead of the fruit bowl...

My only problem is where to put it.. feicin huge.

ozmo · 21-06-2017 10:34pm

Havn't seen it available on the Lego shop yet - subbing to this thread in case anyone see and mentions its available anywhere -

Its not a limited run is it...?

Nah, it'll be back. Not sure Lego anticipated how popular it would be.

I keep hearing of physical stores in the UK having stock squirrelled away.

sunny2004 · 22-06-2017 12:00pm

Thanks OP

Im sure it looked like it was available to order. Is showing out of stock again.

ScrubsfanChris · 17-07-2017 8:17pm

Got my dispatch notice today. Ordered around 5th June so came as a semi suprise when I got the email

Sightseer · 21-07-2017 4:35pm

Thanks for that! By far the priciest Lego set I've bought in my adult life but it looks too cool to turn it down!

sunny2004 · 21-07-2017 5:55pm

I see littlewoods are adding 20 euros onto the price

Nash Bridges · 21-07-2017 6:29pm

Now out of stock on little woods Ireland.

galwaydoc · 22-07-2017 6:14am

Did anyone actually snag it at Littlewoods? Spotted it at lunchtime yesterday, but when put in basket, got "out of stock" message. Reckon could have been a glitch.

I got an order through about 4:30pm yesterday, expected delivery is by next Friday, at the moment still just showing as 'Processed'. Will let you know if it arrives!

I also placed an order with littlewoods on the 21 of July at 15:54. to date it's showing as currently being processed with the delivery date due 28 of July.. because this set is so hard to get at the moment I Really hope it goes ahead otherwise i'll have no choice but to pay silly money as it's a must have!

Don't pay the silly money. LEGO will bring it back. Just wait!

My order has moved on so now showing as delivered 'on or before 26th July'.

I agree its a shame littlewoods add €20 to the RRP but at least they offer 'free' delivery

- if you were to buy in the UK it would come close to €125 (£110) + ParcelMotel etc and there doesnt appear to be any bricks and mortar stockists yet in Ireland. Waiting for it in Lego store at Euro RRP is obviously the best option but I'm happy to pay €20 now and get it this week.

Sightseer · 25-07-2017 12:25pm

Some reassuring news; Lego ideas posted this on there page two weeks ago. (Jul 11, 2017)

We Are Continuing To Produce More Apollo Saturn V Sets
Having just launched the Apollo Saturn V set recently, we will continue to produce the set according to our scheduled plans and we would like to re-assure everyone that it has not been retired.

While the set is temporarily out of stock through our online shop, with limited quantities available in LEGO Stores, our production teams are working hard to produce more sets in order to make sure that everyone will be able to purchase their copy. This does take time however and we therefore ask for your patience.

Harika · 25-07-2017 7:03pm

Received it from the littlewoods order last week. Now I have to wait for my birthday to open it.
Really wondering if Lego didn't produce a lot of stock or totally underestimated the demand for it. Personally even as Star wars Fan, nothing tingled my spine from Lego to buy it, all great stuff but wouldn't buy it. The Saturn rocket on the other hand was absolutely desirable maybe cause I always had a crush for astronomy. And this piece is simply something historical.

DriveSkill · 25-07-2017 7:53pm

Mine arrived today also, now to find time to actually build it and keep it away from the 2 yr old!

I wasn't so lucky today, my littlewoods order was declined and when i queried why they said i need to make an initial payment of 24 euro and place the order again. it's now out of stock. have you ever heard the likes.

i guess i'll just have to wait now until lego shop restock.
