Lego shop MK. Fill ya boots boys! oh and they will only sell you 1 per day so don't go getting any grand ideas about buying the shop up. I tried for 10 this morning so I had some for the PH massive but they refused to sell them!

Thanks for sharing - just rang and got one. The phones are ringing like mad in the background so reckon they will all be gone in a flash - the woman who took the order said it's next day delivery but she would have to ring and warn the courier as it was going to be a busy day!

Thanks for the heads up Shep.

I've got one on the way. They lady I spoke to was very stressed out. She had personally sold 15 in the hour they had been open.

All Gone.

Stood in store waiting to see if i get the last one or someone rings back in their allotted 10-15mins!

If I hadn't got stuck in that traffic jam, or faffed about in the carpark paying!!!

Not mine, I didn't buy one.


Esuuv's one above looks very similar too.

Not sure how far calling Lego customer service will get you, they were already printed before the set was produced and put into each one completely at random it seems.

No, missed out by 30seconds!

Should have rung up and reserved!
Should have taken my usual route to MK rather than thinking the main roads would be all clear!

That'll teach me

I just rang the Leeds store and they have an unspecified number in stock, however they won't post them so you'd need someone to go instore to buy it then send it on to you.

Yeah - mine is pretty faded.....the photo upload isn't working right now.

In the box there is a spare white plate - and a sticker with 41999 on it, would have preferred the sticker set was custom, this would have surely been cheaper / easier than printing individual plates badly.

The plates aren't printed badly, they're metallic silver on white the same colour as the bumper parts. The lettering isn't supposed to be black.

Noooooooo!!!!!

Have been waiting for this, but off on holiday for the last couple of weeks. Sods law that it gets released whilst I had no internet access frown

If anyone has a 'spare' they would be prepared to part with - drop me a line - thanks.
