How can a company that is raking in profits hand over fist not expect heavy traffic
year after year, I am about to abandon my cart and give up.

Just venting since it is a bit frustrating.

Agreed, the indifference to their loyal customers is astounding.

Took me 1 hour 10 minutes, but just completed my first order.

I imagine the investment to make it more robust for the few days when there is
extremely heavy traffic is not worth it.

And if it's a bit satanic and it sells, then go for it!

With everything in the cloud these days they could probably pay for extra traffic
for the first few days of the month without making a huge capital investment

May the 4th on Lego s@h used to be exciting. Lame promos and paltry discounts
make the whole event pointless. There's not even a new UCS or MBS set to
be excited for this time.

I ended up just buying the giant clam shell, because it at least looked colorful
and fun to build.

I don't think he's too excited for it. I can understand why. All the
reviews do say that it looks better in real life than the images/videos suggest,
but every single review still stated that it's got some issues. But then
again, what Lego set doesn't?

Probably because Susan Williams is no longer with them.

But, she is, the CS of Lego is still, mostly, phenomenal.

I know the feeling it does take some time especially when ordering a lot we also
hit up the 3 physical stores here in Washington once in awhile
