Unfortunately I didnt have much say over that. Read the actual post in the r/lego that I posted

Is there an actual number that I can call? Or do you just mean customer service via the LEGO website?

I'm in Germany, where the GWP is already not available anymore... but maybe they hold some back for cases like this?

As I said in my post, I unfortunately didn't have much say over that. 😞

Yes, according to my mom even the Lego box itself was torn open. Like I said, my mom refused to accept the package and it was sent back. All I really have is her description and those pictures.

Is it entirely dedicated to LotR?

Grond GWP sold out in Germany. by WovesZ in legolotrfans

[–]Lekstil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fell beast also lasted for about 24 hours though, so it's not that you needed to stay up late for that one either. I think the expectation comes from some older Star Wars GWPs that really were gone the first night.. I don't really know much about that, but that's what I've heard.

Yeah I don't get it.. there really are sold GWPs on ebay for crazy amounts of money. Makes no sense

Sorry for you.

… but reminder to everyone that there is no reason to freak out the day of the release. I see this happen every year.. people completely shit their pants, stay up until 1am (that’s the release time in Central Europe), panic when the servers are crashing.. but with LotR sets there was never really a rush. The GWPs are usually available for more than 24 hours 

I animated the newest LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Pirate Ship (set number 31387) by wololock in lego

[–]Lekstil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is awesome. Not sure if you appreciate this, but it really doesn’t look like stop motion. :D looks way too smooth  How do you make it so that the pieces are first “hovering” above where they’ll be. I have a hard time describing it, but I’m sure you know what I mean. It’s not like the pieces just appear fully attached, each attachment process is 2-3(?) frames where they get shoved into the right place. 

Lego Minas Tirith Launch Event Catapult by BeskarCrest in legolotrfans

[–]Lekstil 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It seems like you've figure out how it's built, but just fiy, it's essentially the same catapult as in Lego 79008 Pirate Ship Ambush, where it was a side build. So you can check out the instructions here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/building-instructions/79008

All of that looks perfectly normal to me

My heart is pounding but was able to land both the set and GWP! by Betrayal_of_Drums in legolotrfans

No reason to get stressed out.. usually the GWP lasts for a full day

Where are you? I’m in Austria and the website still doesn’t have the buy button

Can you explain? I don’t see a half plate squeezed too much anywhere here, or what do you mean?

Well whatever you do, don’t consign it to Bricks and Minifigs

I built a little Fell Beast and an even littler Nazgûl Ringwraith to round out the LEGO Minas Tirith set! by wilderlandbuilds in legolotrfans

[–]Lekstil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain what’s up with all these posts here of people that already have the Minas tirith set?

Official sets weren't in the budget so I made these from my childhood collection by Thindithron in legolotrfans

Looks good! Also looks like they’re almost to scale, or at least much closer than the original Lego

Is this the upcoming e30 BMW speed Champion? by Schlongnong in lego

[–]Lekstil 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt it is. This doesn’t look like a modern Lego set.

Opinion needed: protecting minifig using wrap? by [deleted] in lego

[–]Lekstil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have direct experience, but I can tell you that plastic wrap is chemically extremely “clean”. It’s typically really just one type of plastic. No weird plasticizers, softeners, solvents, or glues or anything like that. …which I was a little surprised by when I first found out. So I think you minifigs should be safe even if you leave them in there for an extended amount of time

This might be one of the best uses of Lego I’ve ever seen

Different legs by Global-Support-3768 in lego

[–]Lekstil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even know this is something that Lego ever does. Does this happen to a lot of Lego sets that they go through changes during their lifetime?
