Following the many reactions of customers who have seen their orders outright canceled in recent days (see comments from this article), King Jouet finally reacts on the blog by posting the message below.

It seems that an a priori satisfactory solution is emerging for all those who were unable to take advantage of the brand's latest promotional operation: 

The phenomenon seems to me to be taking on a certain scale and even if everything is relative, I take the trouble to talk about it here: King Jouet is currently canceling orders en masse from customers who took advantage of the last promotion to order LEGO sets.

The post comments announcing last Sunday's promotion are edifying, I add the many emails received over the past few hours which all mention an outright cancellation of an order without any explanation or apologies from the merchant who seems to have big communication and stock management problems.

I never hesitate to relay a good plan here at a toy merchant, but the turn of events convinced me to permanently remove the King Jouet sign from the list of merchants that I regularly recommend on the blog. I will therefore no longer publish the offers of this merchant who obviously has trouble getting organized during the most important period of the year for his sector of activity ....

I sent an email to their customer service which has so far gone unheeded. I'm not expecting any particular reaction from the merchant, but if someone who works there comes on the blog, they can obviously come forward to give us some explanation about this wave of order cancellations.

Sorry for the lack of responsiveness on this occasion, but King Jouet is offering an immediate 15% discount on the entire LEGO offer today, December 15th.

You can add a 5% discount with the code CSKJ2013 and Colissimo delivery is free for orders over € 49.

There are a few hours left to take advantage of this offer, and if you're late with your Christmas shopping, now is the time to catch up.

(Thanks to filpinpin and J0NJ0N for their emails)

Do you want to show your passion for LEGO in all circumstances? You need one of these watches ...

ClickTime, which also produces the alarm clocks in the shape of giant minifigs, has just announced the effective availability of the entire range of officially licensed LEGO adult watches that I told you about in early October.

There are many models on offer and I find it to be rather expensive (£ 79 to £ 145) for a plastic watch made in China, even fitted with a Japanese mechanism, mineral glass and water resistant to 100m .

It is possible to order on the ClicTime website (See the online catalog) and to be delivered before Christmas, even if many models are already out of stock. As we say, when we love we don't count ...
