My Spring Lantern Festival was shipped on Friday 5th and arrived Tuesday 9th, so I think the shipping is back to normal. And the Porsche must physically be in stock. We'll see.

Have just ordered the Porsche and have closed the browser page down because there's quite a lot I could buy there without a second thought!

Welcome to my world. My second bedroom is full of Lego boxes

Ordered at 5am but I guess I missed out on the VIP freebies

Apparently it went live about 10.30pm to order. I checked at 10.27pm before I fell asleep and it wasn't available. But then I wouldn't be trying to sell the free stuff on eBay and I'd just have to store it somewhere; I'd rather simply store the Lego.

I thought the email say the 16th? I didn't realise it would have gone live the night before! Have just seen the VIP packs on eBay, I thought all of the first run would have come with those but I guess not.

Oh well, I'll know for next time.

We've got a Lego delivery for the kids coming shortly. Nothing that'll interest you guys. But, speaking of Danish things I've just had a food delivery and I'm very excited. Hot dog kit with all the correct trimmings, two types of pickled herring, and some small biscuits that are used for our favourite Danish pud.

There's a chap on PH who ordered early enough (before midnight on 15th) that he had the VIP pack in his order confirmation and on the invoice which arrived with his order. The VIP pack still wasn't in the box with the set itself. Lego have really dropped the ball here. All over some pretty worthless stuff.

It is a little annoying, when they bang on about VIP then don't actually deliver. That said, I'm just thankful delivery times have dropped to a few days, and seemingly no Brexit taxes being added either.

We love all Lego, I'm interested in the new blacksmith set as I was a massive Castle lego fan when knee high to an echidna.

On a more specifically Danish note the Hans Christian Anderson set on my shelf is very nice Linky the fair women of the household picked it up for "me" when they had a trip to Odense in the before times.

TWO types of pickled Herring, one for breakfast and the other for pizza?

On pizza? Heathen!

The marinated kind (served with boiled potatoes, creme fraiche and raw onion). Not a breakfast food, your breath would melt steel at 10 paces. Obviously not an issue if served for lunch/dinner.

The curried kind served on bread with a soft boiled egg on top (today's lunch).

Bought two sets of road plates and they've certainly changed since I had them as a child.

Also got a City police station/robbery set.

Ah, I get you. I mean, the VIP pack thing was just a nice bonus, but that's a bit shit of them to advertise that and then its not only limited to x number, but the thing also goes on sale before most casual buyers even know! I did notice there was nothing else showing on my order confirmation but wasn't sure if that was normal or not.

Built the Creator Expert 911 tonight, and have to say it's really good. Photos just don't to it justice, especially not badly lit camera phone ones but anyway

Looks good!

Mine is due on Monday, just need to get another shelf put up for it before then.

Will you be turning it into the targa aswell?

I'll probably build the bits up, so they don't get lost amongst the other surplus. I'll have to see how much faff it is swapping between the setups though.

Yep gonna buy that - will go well next to my two Technic ones

I’m planning to build it as a Turbo Targa - not sure when though.

My 911 just arrived. Pobably wait till the wee guy is older and build it together .
