After a confusing email yesterday it appears that the Ulysses Space Probe VIP reward will be going live shortly at 9am AEST.
The set will cost you 1800 VIP points to redeem. Now is a great time to put in an order, get this set and earn double VIP points.
You’ll be able to get yours via the VIP rewards centre.
Hopefully this does actually go live when it is meant to.
8:59, browser loaded and ready to go ;). The things we do for our hobby …
Any luck? It hasn’t popped its head up in my Rewards Centre yet…
Nope. Still refreshing furiously 😉
havent seen it yet
Failure to launch from Lego Australia
From Customer Service ‘chat’:
– Thanks for letting us know! Our team is working on getting that posted as quickly as possible
– yes, I don’t know how fast, but it’ll be up soon
Waiting …
10:05, still no sign of life. Website is becoming unresponsive, presumably because of the additional load of constant refreshing ;).
We all have to ask ourselves why we are so addicted to such a poorly managed product! It’s a sickness people 🙂 As I refresh again…
Yep, guilty as charged. In my defence I’ll say that it’s less harmful to self and others than, say, smoking, and possibly even cheaper 😉
This!! It’s truly an addiction – and now I’m adding more stuff to my shopping cart while I wait…
I wish this wasn’t another LEGO exclusive fail, but so far it’d be quicker to buy the parts from bricklink and have them delivered…
Are their exclusives always plagued with issues like this one?
12.01 Still not up.
It’s up
I have just redeemed mine
They are consistently disappointing, especially to Australian consumers. it will go live at a random time and be gone before we even know its live. They will not even consider using the VIP mail list to update customers and reschedule to a fair time. And we still have the other region exclusives to look forward to missing out on this year
That’s really disappointing.
It’s live! 🙂
Redeemed, finally. Perhaps a better system might have been to have been able to back order it at the time of purchasing the Shuttle. Now I have to find something else I can’t live without .. decisions, decisions.
It’s live. Just confirmed mine.
Sold out. %$^*&# Lego, I have been refreshing since 9 am.
Sold out as usual and the banner never even updated to availble now. the qty must have been tiny.
Dammit! I have been checking in all day for it to be up, and now it has been and come and gone. Really not happy.
