Would be a real bummer

The parts are interesting but not for that price (no much use for the MFs too).
So, except for a big discount, I’ll wait for the part to arrive in BL shops

Well, I sure hope so but it looks weird in LEGO’s renders

| | Hi.
I've never bought a brand new release before, but got excited about the 10300
BTTF about to be released on lego.com on april 1st.
Now I found the first reseller announcing it, but it will not be available there
until july 1st.
I was looking forward to get this on the release date, but I'm not sure it's
worth paying 184 EUR at lego.com when I can get it from a reseller for 139 EUR
three months later... (even if I might get a little Easter gift set)
I can understand if Lego want a few months to cash in on those who just can't
wait (since lego.com in general are much more expensive than their resellers).
But I wondered if it is a common thing for Lego to do, to delay the release
to resellers several months?
I assume there are a lot of seasoned buyers here that would know. (Perhaps it
is just that one reseller that are late, but I fear not.)

LEGO are starting to do this more on the "adult" sets. The demand is high and
production cannot keep up. So they might as well sell the in-demand adults aimed
sets themselves at full price at the start rather than getting other distributors
to sell them, when the demand is high.

| The minifig looks guilty. Perhaps he just threw away evidence of crime in that
trash can.
He is clearly trying way too hard to look natural and NOT pulling it off. The
odd half-smile, eating a doughnut with sprinkles, wearing a polo shirt with a
beret and carrying a briefcase?.
I mean c'mon, it is obvious he's an apple fritter kind of guy.

Insurance issues probably. The driver doesn't want to be on the hook if
anything happens to a minor taking the taxi.

Yes it was about 2 years for a delay. I thought maybe they decided to not release

I think a lot if the DVD / BR / video game promos (at least the European versions)
and also the foil bags that come on comics / kids' magazines get packed in
Poland. Some sellers get 100s of them, so they must get out unofficially somehow.
Maybe tge same with this one.

an Ideas as the Piano or Rock guitar or Typewriter, but in some countries
on lego.com the set appears with a price and under 'Free item's or something
like that. What does it stand for? Is it limited in time or not? I know that

Interesting project.
Colonoscopies are not merely valuable early detection procedures for colon cancer,
but for other more common autoimmune disorders such as ulcerative colitis and
crohn's disease. Both can be diagnosed as severe and life theatening. Certainly
life altering as well.

I know one can't / shouldn't argue about tastes and preferences but I
have to admit that when I saw a leak about this set on social media a couple
of weeks ago I figured it was someone trolling as the item seemed far to amateurish
/ childish to be a real Lego set.
Imagine my surprise seeing this fugly thing becoming a GWP ... 
Again, just my POV, but this is to me the most disappointing GWP to ever come
out and seems at best a joke. I can't imagine more than 30 seconds of thought
went into this "project".
The color scheme just hurts my eyes and the build looks like something that belongs
in the monthly mini-build series.
All kidding aside: was this a special project where a child could enter to create
the next GWP? If so, kuddos to the child for succeeding in making its build into
an actual Lego set.
If this was genuinely created by a certified Lego builder: how drunk was that
person and moreover, how drunk was his / her boss to approve this for a GWP?
Friday rant over.

I stand by my first thoughts (see image)...
...just realizing that is referencing a Simpson episode that aired over
30 years ago... man, I'm old...
Life is Good.

Anyone remember the Time Cruisers theme?

I know one can't / shouldn't argue about tastes and preferences but I
have to admit that when I saw a leak about this set on social media a couple
of weeks ago I figured it was someone trolling as the item seemed far to amateurish
/ childish to be a real Lego set.
Imagine my surprise seeing this fugly thing becoming a GWP ...
Again, just my POV, but this is to me the most disappointing GWP to ever come
out and seems at best a joke. I can't imagine more than 30 seconds of thought
went into this "project".
