Potential Technic Group Buy - Porker & Excavator

[joefraser]

It appears the porsche hasn't been that we'll received by some.

A none functioning gear box and incorrect instructions shouldnt be a feature of such an expensive set!!

The gearbox is fixable but still, Lego should do better.

Full-Sized Porsche 911 GT3 RS Lego Car in Sweden

Lets just hope there are no kids around this time...

[Cheburator mk2]

To all non-believers... Just seen the car built in the Lego Store in NYC. It made me grin from ear to ear. I have the Actros, this is on a different level. The amount of people taking pics and talking about it was unreal. Naturally I bought one, as I could not wait for Lego to get their ass in gear and deliver the two sets that I bought from them on the 1st of June...

Honestly, it is a thing of beauty. One for me, one for a birthday present for my brother and another one stashed away.

Morning all.
Would it be ok for me to join in and order a bucket excavator?

PhilD said:

Can someone kindly add me to the group buy list? I hope it all works out and thatnsk to Russy and Podie for such a fab service.
Thanks

I hope this covers everyone:

Thanks for adding me Mattyc

Just been in the Lego store in Westfield, they've got the Porsche in stock at £250 at the moment if anyone's looking for one.

[russy01]

Good Morning,

Please visit http://eepurl.com/bsxEt5 and sign up. This will put you on the list to receive the links for purchase when they go live next month.

If you have not been a PH'er for at least 6months you are not eligible for the group buy. Dont even waste your time trying, as all PH usernames will be checked.


I have already added everybody from last year, so it might tell you that you are already registered. If thats the case, great - you dont need to do anything.

p.s Sorry to add another step to the process, we changed email tools earlier this year and I want to get it all tidy. As for the list on PH, please dont think this has been pointless. As you can see the quantities have grown substantially and for me to ensure I have enough stock I need to get a rough idea of what you guys are after.

Also, there is no need to quote this post and tell me that you have done it (dont want this post getting lost).

[buckline]

Tried the link and got the following message:

"Too many subscribe attempts for this email address. Please try again in about 5 minutes. (#8706)"

Does that mean I've been added or is there an issue?

Cheers!

If you are already on there it will say so and give you the option to update your preferences. So I can only assume its an error, give it a bit and try again. (Others are coming through without issue)

Thanks.

[hantsxlg]

Russy,
I just got the same 'too many subscribers...' error message. I will try again shortly.

UPDATE...
I hit the submit button again and it worked perfectly (with you are already registered...)

[356Speedster]

Thanks Rusty, subscribed I didn't realise this was via Jadlam, I've purchased from your store before, great service!

[georgefreeman918]

Russy,

Quick question - i have subscribed via your link, and I am on the list in this thread for 2 porkers. However I know want to change this to 3. Is this possible? Will I get the option sent from the link regarding quantity?

Regards,

George

[INWB]

Russy

I changed my PH name from Innowaybored to INWB - I have a porsche on the group buy but under the old name

Secondly - can I potentially buy a second as part of the group buy?

I am also getting the "Too many subscribe attempts for this email address"

cheers


UPDATE - it has now accepted my sign up.

Edited by INWB on Monday 13th June 23:18

[russy01]

It will just be links to private listings on the website which are only accessible via the direct link. So you'll create an order like any other website.

Qty - providing you aren't taking the mick and buying one for every person down the pub then that's fine. Thanks

[russy01]

Just a little bump on this for those of you who havent done so yet....

Hi Russy,
I went through the process and clicked Submit, had a statement saying I need to validate the e-mail address from the e-mail sent by your site. I haven't received an e-mail from your site yet. Does it take or a while or have I screwed up somewhere (quite likely)!

Erm, it should be fairly quick but when I tried it I reckon it took 30mins to come through. So either hang on, or give it another go.

Cheers.

Actually, thinking about it, it may have been intercepted by the business spam filter and I'll get it tomorrow in the list of e-mails that they send me each morning that they're unsure of.

Sorry for those of you who have already done this - just want to keep bumping it in order to get everybody on the list.
