http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/19359/why-would-we-need-these#latestI said I wouldn't do this because it makes my life harder but people keep asking me so before the set is officially released I'm going to make 150 available now. Once this 150 are gone there will be no more orders accepted prior to the official release. This is a pre order and the sets will ship in approximately two weeks time.
The pre release picture is just a representation. The final version is better with more refinement but those pictures will not be shown until the official release.
This is not an official set although a few have been requested from LEGO staff. It has been produced in association with Bright Bricks, the UK's only LEGO Certified Professional Company.

I'm sorry about the postage prices, they are dictated by Royal Mail and not me. It is not a tracked service, that can be added for additional cost.

Please do not share this outside of the forum, I'm trying to let Brickset members have first crack here.
If you're wondering why the set is limited to 500, well that is as many as we are allowed to produce, it isn't an attempt to inflate demand. The addition of unique printed parts was just because we all love something different don't we :-)
Best of luck in getting one!

This helps to soften the blow a little bit.

@samiam391 The HF minifigs were 1/4 and none have appeared on the secondary market that I'm aware of ;-)
Payment sent.
Paid.
Meant to put on the comments, but completely forgot... If there's any way I can wangle the set numbered 042 that would be awesome!
Cheers!
Great idea for a good cause.

I was thinking of asking for that number too! Are you a fellow Douglas Adams fan perchance? ;-)
It's like Christmas!
Without the eggnog.
By status I meant are there some still available to buy?
@BooTheMightyHamster -- Funny!
