The LEGO Ideas set 21109 Exo Suit was only made available at approximately 3:30PM AEST today, and in less than 4 hours the initial stock was already exhausted.
At the time of writing (10:45 PM AEST) the current ship date is listed as 4th of September 2014, but this may extend if orders continue.
Our hope is that LEGO will realise the popularity of the set and make more products available for online orders – unfortunately we don’t know if that is a possibility or not.
We do not have any details of a retail release, but have made some enquiries. If we find out anything we will be sure to update accordingly.
For those of our readers who are getting this set; did you manage to order before the set sold out? We made the mistake of not ordering quickly enough, so our copy isn’t going to arrive until September.
Wow, that was quick! Apparently this set was available at Target in the US so there is hope for us here that it might be available in stores at a later date.
Got my order in within a few minutes (Mini Cooper, Exo Suit, Research Institute), just before the site went down completely, so I should be safe. Phew!
I still haven’t received the confirmation e-mail but the order is visible and “In Process” when I sign in on the LEGO site.
they said there was only one production run, so methinks they might be doing another if they say out of stock and will ship in a month. got mine after much refreshing, shipping now, and that was at around 3pm AEST (midnight states)
oh, cmon!! just got this email. and as i said above my order said available shipping now:
“I am really sorry that you have to wait for the EXO Suit. We didn’t expect that there are so many LEGO® Fans who bought the product. As soon as we have the product in stock again we will ship it to you without shipping cost.”
300 VIP points for the trouble.
So I guess this means another production run!!!!!
Sorry to hear about your order. 300 VIP points does make the issue a little better. Let’s hope the LEGO factory is frantically working on more sets.
I had my order in by 3:04PM AEST on Friday. I haven’t received a confirmation e-mail or the e-mail you received yet. Last time I was logged in to Lego.com (which was yesterday, the site is down again right now) my order status was ‘In Process’.
Grrr at the waiting game. First world problem, I know.
I live in Canada and am experiencing the same problem. They really seem to have underestimated the interest in this set. I’ve left an email to their customer service department as well and have heard nothing yet.
I posted something similar on one of the other articles on here so apologies to those getting a sense of déjà vu, but for anyone who hasn’t already seen my other comments, the Aus S@H website’s Shipping & Handling fine print says; ‘Once you have placed your order, the LEGO® Group will ship the order the next Tuesday or Thursday’, so today being the first Tuesday or Thursday since the set was released, my order status has now updated from ‘In Process’ to ‘Shipped’.
For anyone who’s not sure whether they placed their Exo-Suit order in time for the initial stock, if you click on the order number hyperlink, it will bring up a list of all items ordered, which should show the status of each separate item, so you can check which items show a ship date, and which items are still listed as backorder (or other relevant status).
In the absence of any order or shipping confirmation emails from LEGO, hopefully this will help to clarify what progress your order is making. 🙂
I had noticed there was a tendency for things to be shipped on a Tuesday, but had never seen the fine print. Thanks for that info.
My order was indeed shipped yesterday, and it includes everything I ordered, so I’m happy.
Now, just to wait until it arrives.
I ordered mine within one hour of it becoming available. I tried to buy it when it first became available but the site was down. Now I am reading that it is on back order and will not come with the other sets I ordered. Not happy. It said Available Now when I purchased it.
These sets are going in and out of stock at Amazon at the moment, limit of 2:

I ordered 2 the other day and including postage it works out at about $46 each delivered (when ordering 2)
Both Ideas sets are now listed as ‘Sold Out’ on S@H, with no more ability to add to bag, even with an extended shipping date.
Looks like that might be it – at least for S@H. Wonder if they’ll be like Mars Rover and end up at retail over here, long after they’ve sold out on S@H worldwide?
