Availability of the 75192 Millennium Falcon set: you will need to be very (very) patient

Bad news for anyone who missed the early set for sale 75192 Millennium Falcon : There won't be any on the shelves on October 1st.

You might think it's a bad joke, but that's what LEGO seriously announces on this page.

Teasing fell flat due to leaked visuals revealing the product well before its official announcement, chaotic launch with an online store in the harbor from the first minutes when the sale opened, almost immediate rupture of the product in LEGOs Stores and on the LEGO Shop and now admitting the inability to anticipate the success of this set and quickly return it to production to meet the schedule announced for weeks, it is no fault for LEGO.

The icing on the cake, by officially confirming the impossibility of meeting the demand within the initially announced deadlines, LEGO has just given an unstoppable argument to speculators of all stripes who were able to obtain one or more copies and who were only waiting for this. type of declaration to convince the most impatient to pay this box the double or the triple of its public price. It's hard to make more mistakes in such a short period of time. And in all sectors: Production, sales, marketing. Full box. Well done.

I dared to believe that the out of stock yesterday was a strategic choice on the part of LEGO to keep enough to honor orders on October 1st. It's worse than that ...
