Hello All,

I hope that Lego increases the maximum amount of preorders per set. I made the
stupid decision of not ordering the Observatory and the train station for my
brother when I saw it around the 4000 unit mark at around 10:44 AM - I tried
calling my brother thrice on my cell to confirm, but he didn't picked up.
I figured thst it would still be available later today. I checked at around
noon AM, and it was sold out; the train station barely reached the maximum 10,000
units nark. With that said, I panicked and ordered it quickly. After calling
my other brother on the phone about missing out on the Observatory, I checked
Bricklink, and the train station just sold out.

Even though my brothers and I are adults, we share our Lego collection.

I have read months before that Lego increased the maximum order amount for round
1. I hope they do it again since all the sets in roind 3 seem to sell out within
the day - it took a few days for rpund 2 to sell out.

I don't think preorders will be reopened. When they were after round one,
it pushed production times back significantly. Round 3's sets are already
scheduled to ship March of 2023, which is nearly a year from now.

They won't be re-opened but instructions are made available online for everyone
when the sets gets shipped out. Your brother can always piece one together.

That is good to know as I wasn't aware of that - I will definitelydo that!.
My other brother or I will likely buy the pieces to build one then. The
brother who wanted it doesn't build the sets and he might be picky buying
parts - he has meor the other build the sets he buys.

You should have just ordered when available. You get almost a year to decide
whether you want to complete the order.
