    So will this go on sale at midnight on the 1st, or sometime in the morning? What time does America [email protected] use?

    I believe [email protected] uses EST.

    No doubt about it... The "Error" box/set will definitely be the set that people will want and pay crazy money for down the road..

    Roads? Where those people are going, they won't need roads...

    Why would people want the one with the error sets? Maybe that explains why some lego stores got them before launch so they could get rid of them...

    Totally agree, only value would be to own a 'first edition' collectible error, but many will enjoy that.

    Some stores got them before launch solely because the release date was misadvertised as July 18.

    I just hope the people who purchased this set will get a replacement part with the correct spelling on the "Flux Capacitor" very soon..!!
  • paul_mertonpaul_merton UKMember Posts: 2,967
    I suppose it's not the worst typo that could have happened on a flux capacitor.

    I can't believe people are bidding on these over $90 not including the shipping and other people have them(in hand) with Buy-It-now and Free shipping for $75...

    I cant believe people are paying anything like that for an item that will be in plentiful supply in a couple of weeks. Surely LEGO will have learnt from Minecraft and wont have underproduced this set...

    If they put a limit of 1 per purchase everything will be fine. If not....Minecraft all over again

    OK, I've looked in both of the Abbreviation threads and don't see it, so could someone tell me what "IP" stands for? Initial Poster? Just popped into my head as I was typing, after racking my brain trying to figure it out.

    Usually it refers to Intellectual Property, as in the idea, the design, the process, etc.

    Unbelievable...I'm going to keep mine and see what happens with this misspelled error. Honestly, I can't see people going crazy over it though.
  • AdeelZubairAdeelZubair London, UKMember Posts: 2,701
    I got mine on 18th July and I will open it on August 2nd (My birthday), just hoping Lego will provide me with replacement part soon of the "Flux Capacitor" with the correct spelling as I don't really care about the very minor error on the box as its hard to read and I don't think Lego will change the box art picture away!!

    It occurs to me that buying two, one with the misspelled word and one with the corrected spelling, would at the very least allow you to reap the benefits of not only the misspelling going up in value, but also having two different versions of the time machine fully assembled at any given time. Heck, buy three, and then you have one for each movie (hopefully, future minifigure torsos will be released that more closely resemble Doc and Marty's clothing in the second and third movies, so you can take your excess Doc and Martys and make them look true to the movie they are in).

    There's one listed with a Buy It Now price of $88.88. Overpriced, sure, but at least they were clever about it.

    If the AFOL who never opens the product purchases one, how will they know if it has the mis-spelled word or not?

    Unless they fix the printing on the box I don't know if there will be a way to tell. But you need a magnifying glass to see the misprint on the back of the box anyway.

    Staggering!! Not anyone with low feedback either.

    @adzbadboy, if I were you and it's still sealed I'd eBay it as an exclusive, buy yourself a new one on August 1st and pocket the difference!
  • dannyrwwdannyrww WisconsinMember Posts: 1,394
    I got my set yesterday at the Lego Store...they sold out right away...if your thinking about getting one my guess is they will still be scarce even after the August 1st release day. Not sure how the online sales will go. I personally am not to worked up over the spelling error...that being said if they offer a replacement part I would happily take it because the printed Flux capicator is a neat little piece to own.

    Schrodinger might argue that, until the box is opened, it would have a tile that was both mis-spelled and correct... :D

    Does stating the obvious make you a genius?

    Pick one up today at my LEGO store (they receive their shipments on Friday). They were not on display but in the back and they had a one per household limit (they also had a limit of 1 on the B-Wing/May 4th). I love that store just for that reason.

    I like the idea of setting limits on hard to find collectible sets.

    Schrodinger doesn't merely refer to one's perceptions (as chuxtoybox discusses in his post) but to a deeper reality in terms of quantum physics (i.e. that the misspelled tile is both present and not - in a literal sense) If this is obvious, then I declare us all geniuses! Hurrah! :D

    Back on topic, I got to see the set and it does look a whole lot better in hand to me. A definite buy.

    I came back from my Lego Store Westfield Stratford City and they were sold out.

    This shows they are being sold at 88mph!!

    Taking this back to the subject of the flux capacitor spelling error/misprint: take a look at this screen grab I took of Lego's UK PaB site.

    Now... what does that say about Lego's proofreading? :-)


    (I know this pic is also posted elsewhere, also by me, but I decided to post this in the official DeLorean time machine thread, best place for it imo!)
  • AdeelZubairAdeelZubair London, UKMember Posts: 2,701
    @TheOneVeyronian, Yeah Lego really needs to know how to spell "SHIELD"!!

    All out in Leeds after my visit this morning.
  • cheshirecatcheshirecat Member Posts: 5,331
    i finally built mine and it is really good. the bonet still annoys me, as does the bumper. the lack of space inside i can live with. the back is just amazing and the whole build is really sturdy and just plain enjoyable. I have to admit its much better than i expected. That said its currently on display and perhaps its the angle im at but it looks like its been in a shunt, that front end aint pretty.

    Just be glad they spelled it correctly in the Avengers sets!

    I happened to be in the Orlando Lego store and, although I wasn't really looking for it, I noted one #21103 on the shelf with a sign 'limit of 1 set per guest'. Seeing it in person I thought it was worth a purchase. As I picked it up a lady behind me started to ask an assistant if they had any more and he said not until Monday.

    I had a $5 off a $50 purchase coupon from the 'Orlando Quick Guide' but the assistant I was speaking to suggested she would try it anyhow even though the DeLorean was $34.99. To our surprise the coupon scanned as $10 off a $70 purchase, and she let it go through. So that, and the $5 of VIP points I used, meant the total cost to me was $21.81 including tax. Needless to say I'm rather pleased.

    Does anyone know why this is not available on the UK Lego site? It was a few days ago it has now dissapeared. Thanks

    @Rups007, It is going to be released worldwide on August 1st and most stores are sold out.

    Lego may not want people to come across the spelling error and may be fixing the error as we speak!!
