It seems odd that, given the positive feedback, they're not going to continue the theme / idea, but I suppose they did only do it to try out some new ideas in the first place. I'm definitely glad I got the full set; it's the only Lego that is allowed in the living room, as even the other half likes it!

The limit of 3 came in very recently. I placed an order about 10am and it was still a limit of 20 then. Not that I ordered that many. 3 is a good number as it gets you the gingerbread house too. I was considering a second order, but it would be cancelled now anyway.

Prices were in USD when they did the Indiegogo campaign. #81000 Koi Model was USD 45 (approx GBP 45 - EUR 40), with the additional #81001 Shark Skin, #81002 Splash Koi Skin and #81003 Ink Koi Skin each costing US 15 (approx GBP 12 - EUR 13).

At least the campaign gave us something a bit different; I don't regret splurging on the Super Box.
Let's see what happens to the bit about "learnings are fueled into the broader organization and taken into consideration for future concepts." That can mean we see something along the same lines in the future, or just as likely it gets buried in the desert (or whatever the equivalent of that is in Denmark), and is never spoken about again.

That must be a typo.

BS's original article mentions about £35. I seem to remember I was charged about £38.

I thought it was late £30's too, but wasn't certain. Presumably there was shipping and import duty on top of that or am I getting mixed up with the AFOL Designer program? Seem to recall quite extensive import duty on those

I didn't actually go ahead with the order first time around, but I think they were shipped from within the EU so no VAT / import duty.

Typo when converting USD to GBP indeed - should have been GBP 35.

Was indeed shipped from within EU, at least for the UK ones.

Is this for sale at Lego US?

They have said UK only - presumably it is the last of their stocks here in Europe.

"...and that in general there is high demand for meaningful customization allowing for self-expression such as LEGO FORMA. A lot of you, would have liked to see more customization options as part of the LEGO FORMA experience."

This was in the email they sent. I wonder if this is part of the reason they came up with the fully customisable wooden figures? When it comes to LEGO, I thought customisable meant more than colouring something in.

Now gone from the UK website.
