Probably didn't have too many anyway.
Good price, missed out :(
If anyone gets one let me know what you think. I can't get any answers out of Lego or DAI so I assume you will get one before me.
Chrisco also have them at $30.95 a week for 42 weeks.

I added one to my cart yesterday and it was $5.95 shipping. But they also had some weird ‘disclaimer’ bit at the bottom of the page saying something about a $50 charge from customs and that you may be charged import fees. Can’t remember the exact wording now as the page is gone.Quote:

I have seen reports on FB that it has been re-stocked at the LDC in Chadstone, the Lego online store and also seen at an un-specified Myer.
Mine finally cleared customs on Sunday and was delivered today.
The box looks like it has been rodgered by an elephant. On top of that it appears he rodgered it to completion.
All three boxes are damaged to varying levels of unacceptable. It looked like result of a Russian nesting doll demolition derby.
I have written to their support people. I will not be accepting anything but a complete replacement. I haven't opened the factory seal tape on the product box just in case.
I hope this link works but if anyone is interested and can test out my OneDrive sharing skills, here is a link to the pictures I took. Let me know if you can get to them OK.

Your link works fine. Looks like some weather damage to boot. Funny how LEGO can do just about everything right, bar post things. Two tiny air bubble packets for a box that big??? Sadly it seems to be the norm, every time I’ve used shopathome from LEGO the boxes I’ve received have looked like garbage and is one of the reasons I have limited my ordering from them (plus their ridiculous prices).
Every time I have complained all I have gotten in response is “sorry but the delivery companies are responsible for the damage that may occur in transit, please contact them for any inquiries”. All you’ll get from them is “tough luck, we don’t care”.
It might be the international part of the delivery, as every order I’ve made at shopforme or other online retailers based in Australia have never had anywhere near the crushing damage the orders from the actual LEGO store have had.
Goodluck, since you’ve bought a collectors set you may get more help or assistance but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
That is terrible. Looks like it had been sitting out in the rain somewhere. I’m one to not care about boxes but on a $1300 set, I’d want it pristine. This is why I have mine on preorder from a Toyworld store to not risk freight damage.Quote:

Standing in Bourke St Myer right now and there is a UCS MF on the shelf. Shame I’m on holiday though, there’s no way I can lug it back home.
You're in Melbourne?Quote:

Lucky you :) now go grab that Lego !!!Quote:

They are sending me a replacement and a shipping label to send back the original. I have to find a new box for the original to go in for me to ship it back.
It will take the 9 to 18 days again. Let's hope it doesn't sit in customs for two weeks again.
Just send it back in the outer box the new one arrives in... assuming it is in good nick :rolleyes:
Expect it.Quote:

Yep, pretty much means the Myer stores we actually make money at...which mainly are cbd stores...Quote:

I think the LDC in Chadstone has stock at the moment.
Forget about the Kenner versions. Lego is where it's at.:eek:
Is it piloted by Willy Wonka and his Oompa Loompa crew?:DQuote:

One on the shelf at Myer Perth CBD.
With a heavy heart I had to walk away :(
And a heavy wallet too ;)Quote:

For those in Brisbane, the Mr Toys group of Toyworlds now have the Millenium Falcon in stock (for the recommended $1299 price tag), and I saw one today at the Macgregor store.
Still a couple in stock up here in the 'ville. Same RRP as the Lego shop.
Anyone watch Lego Masters last week?...
They advertised a comp during a Rouge One on Starwars Day...
Did anyone watch Rouge One on Starwars day?...
They had a codeword to enter for a comp to win 1 of35 Falcons....
Anybody enter?
I saw the ad but I missed it. Any details?
