Meanwhile I found the old Lego catalogs from 1988-1995 online. Ah the memories I decided to free up some display space and dig out, clean and build some of my old sets. M:Tron, Blacktron, Pirates, Castle and some nice Technic pieces.
I wish!
It was out in France and Austria, where the designers live, before it became available in the official LEGO shop.
Walmarts in the US even started selling before the official release date!
Mine has arrived in town. Will hopefully get it tomorrow…
I too have that one! Almost complete even! re-build it two years ago, what a ton of fun! Although the turning circle is ridiculously wide unfortunately.
Just got an email notification this morning that the set was available again via Amazon, albeit in very limited quantities. Managed to snag one, then they sold out again by the time I finished my order.
I got a notification that delivery of my Saturn V got delayed further.
Meanwhile I retrieved my old Lego sets from the basement and started to “process” them: Break down to individual pieces, clean and reasemble. So much fun (well, not the cleaning). Got to take some pictures this weekend. I am amazed by the quality of Lego, something I couldn’t really appreciate when I was a kid. Even after over 25 years, the pieces still work and look great. I am having a great time.
My biggest problem is actually where to put all this stuff. I can probably free up enough space to display 2-3 nice sets, the rest I have to pack up again and store in the basement.
