Maybe he just prefers to leave letters out and word things differently ;o)
Yes, I may change my address, just so that I can get a chance at the same deals that you get all the time.
I do pay an extra 13% tax, on top of state taxes (5% in MI) when I bring the stuff back over the border, so i am not cheating anyone there either.
If I were to buy the same sets on Bricklink or many other sites (that I still use quite often), the shipping for one big set to get to me is about the same as what I pay in gas to drive there and get them myself.
I placed the order at 12:04 EST.

Seriously, not sure why an order placed at 12:04 am would be backordered. My last name begins with 'B'. Maybe your's begins with 'W', 'X', 'Y', or 'Z'? Sort of joking, but maybe not. LEGOS order processing system is errr.... hummmm... 'different'. Yeah, 'different'. That's it.
Also, @Kanohi if it's a trap don't worry. You can have super sleuth @Legoboy investigate. He'll get to the bottom of it.
b-wing back now :)as Out of stock, expected ship date 24 May 2013
it seems like they might have found couple of lost/hidden containers full of B-wing. this is basically inline with what they had on saturday no? and you can order 5 and @ 199.99 :D
It did in fact ship. The odd part I commented on was LEGO sending two emails telling me that I should expect delays - then shipping it out exactly when I would normally expect them it to. Just made me scratch my head a bit. But whatever! My B-wing is expected to arrive on Friday :)

The trap being LEGO using this sale as a way of identifying resellers. Who really needs 5 B-Wings? Perhaps I'm being paranoid but some odd things have been going on the past few months, to say the least...
I have been spending a significant amount at [email protected] and LBR for approximately a decade now and I am sure that I can be "identified as a reseller" if LEGO bothered to look into it. I have never circumvented any limits or broken any rules intentionally but it seems that that might not be good enough any longer. Maybe TLG is going another step and setting people up with a tempting sale like this. I don't know.
Like others have stated, there are plenty of other outlets to acquire sets from but I'd rather not lose the option of [email protected] - especially for my own personal collection.

So let's see if Johnny-come-lately can get a $99 B-wing for minimal effort. It's really not fair after reading all of these accounts.
Man that set meant nothing to me at $200 but it is so desirable at $100. I hope they send it. Currently the freebies say In Process and B-Wing says back ordered. The website now lists the B-wing as sold out. I think this thing could appreciate pretty well in a few years since it's apparent that no one bought it and it appears to have a VERY limited shelf-life. It was still on sale last night for $199 so that makes me comfortable that I'll get one. Now it's SOLD OUT and I hope it stays that way forever. This is a very short lifespan.
Man I can't wait for the Rancor Pit to hit deep discount. It's only a matter of time...
1. Everyone in Europe who wants one at full price buys it for fear of missing out on the set (unlikely).
2. Everyone in Europe is so radged at [email protected] for not offering a deal that it languishes in stock for a while until [email protected] drops the price unexpectedly and they all go under clearance.
3. Everyone in Europe is so radged at [email protected] for not offering a deal that it languishes in stock until Brick Friday when it is properly reduced.
It's a tough call...
... the way things are at the moment my money's on option 4!
And what Lego fan doesn't use VIP points up withing 2 years? d:
Personally, I use them as I get them.
Lego, 10€ off any order I make sweetens everything. :-)
They also said that the B-Wing will be available to me "at a price you'll be happy with" in the future.
thanks for taking time to explain.
New email, different credit card.
John Smith -> J Smyth
Your postman will still deliver it.
Not a problem at all.
@jcb193
Probably not very likely. It would be very simple to get around and banning people from [email protected] not really solve the "problem" at all. (cough *amazon* cough) But stranger thanks have happened and I'm personally fine with a little paranoia from time to time :)
