Please count me in, but I would prefer to have it MISB so my boys can enjoy it.

Thanks,

advent calendars

Post by dgh »

new to posting here collector since early 90's. My 12,11,10 year old boys now getting to use the collection from Crusaders to current year in battles and stories

No box has remained unopen and most boxes are even gone due to frequent moves. Sets are in ziploc bags and armies are bagged together.

We would each like a calendar. We don't need exterior boxes as long as we can open the window each day to celebrate Christmas and have a whole bunch of new stuff at Christmas time. I am glad Lego is thinking about this.

We all seem willing to pay Lego directly or pay more for a middle man in a foriegn market. Lego is listening to their customer base. Please stop selling certain sets to certain markets. Ultimately the right customers will end up buying the products, but that is not taking the best care of customers.

Great move Ben at Lego to address our concern and try to save money for all of us.

four calendars for Lansing Kansas, if you please

Hi DGH,

I am an administrator of Classic-Castle.com and do not work for the LEGO Group. We are currently talking to various suppliers to get sets to fans. At this time due to the limited nature of the set, we are only selling one copy per person (member of Classic-Castle.com). If we are able to acquire and sell multiple copies to individuals, we will let you know. Thanks.

Ben thank you for your reply, sorry I misidentified you position. If one set is it than that is that. I will not try something slick like register each child.

I have enjoyed this site for quite sometime, but never had a reason before to register and speak to a topic. I do not buy for profit, I understand there is profit to be made, but the more times these sets changes hands the more profits. I have gone to foriegn markets before to buy small sets (the Kabaya (sic) candy ninja sets from Japan) but this set is too large. I never felt the need to get sets from other countires that had the same core pieces jsut for different box designs. I buy individual pieces from all over the world and even out of stock sets, a current production set should be world available.

I hope my sentiments were before and here above, appropriate not only in content but in the correct forum.

NOT IN THE US?! :evil:

Knights! Guards! Squires! Arise and demand your jester hats!

I would be down for purchasing multiple copies depending on the cost!

I never keep the boxes, so that's cool.

I'm in also. No box is fine. I'll also take more than one if the opportunity arises.
