I read in the B / S / T thread someone ordered one on Wednesday even, but I finally had time and money at the same time Today and they are completely out right now as of 5 mins ago anyway. I am assuming that it didnt matter if i got the number correct I was talking to Shop at Home and she knew the kit number...

I ordered mine like a week or so ago and they still had them in stock.

Boy, it's a good thing I got tired of waiting when I did! The UPS Store already had my package in the "Return to Sender" bin when I went in to pick it up! But the guy at the counter was nice about it, and I got to take it home and pretend that the entire month of December was happening at once.

It was worth the wait. Nine minifigs, three of them never before released, at a price point of $40 with tax and shipping? That's a pretty good deal, even if there aren't many bricks per se. Bricks are dirt cheap and I've got loads of them. Populating my kingdom with interesting and distinctive characters is trickier, and it's great to have the necessary support from TLC.

I received mine a while ago, but forgot to post in here! I only ordered one, but it was worth it! I was initially planning on opening one door at a time, so I put the calendar aside. This lasted exactly one day.

Great calendar, lots of useful parts, some of which (like the cauldron) I didn't have previously. Thanks Lego!

Placed my order a bit over a week ago, and I received a "thank you for your order, please fill out this survey" email but never an actual order confirmation one. Gonna call Lego tomorrow and see if there are any issues. Hope there aren't.

I ordered two sets from Lego UK which will be rerouted to me. If a situation like this occurs in the future where sets are not available in North America, I have family in England who will ship to us.

I ordered one from another company who apparently was reselling them. I've been waiting for that witch and jester for a while.

I cannot bring myself to open these before December 1st, so I very much hope things turn out pleasant inside those little boxes!

Same here.

It’s a lesson in self-discipline, though. I really! would like to get my hands on that maiden... Wait, that sounds somewhat ..er.. forget it. Anyway, I've been waiting for a Lego jester ever since Playmobil had one. And Playmobil had one in 1980 already…

Bye

I'll be opening it as soon as I get it. I'm nonreligious/vaguely Wiccan-ish, so Christmas doesn't really mean anything to me, plus it's my dad's birthday and I often don't get along with him very well...

Just got my two today! Gonna open one right away, and save the second. May put it on bricklink if the prices go up, may just open it later one and use for myself.

Mega Bloks! They shipped a Belville advent calendar instead of the Castle one I ordered. Hopefully, it was just an honest mistake and not some kind of scam...(it wasn't directly from Lego)

I've had mine since a week after it was released, and I still haven't opened it. I'm saving it for December, it's been really hard though!

Man sure wish I had the cash earlier there are 18 for sale on brick link, the cheapest is $49 thats a %40 markup. Anyone think these might drop in price after the holidays by chance?
