A quick, probably stupid question, regarding Lego VIP & the new Porsche 911.

How exactly does VIP work - I have a VIP account & I want the 911 which I believe is available to VIP members tomorrow.

I have put the kit in my wish list so now what do I do?

Do I receive an email asking me to pay? I have not used VIP before however I want the wallet stuff that goes with the new release so need to make sure I get it.

Like I say, a stupid question however I can’t work out how the VIP works.

Awaiting help & abuse for being dense!!!!!

It won't automatically add to the basket if it's in your wish list. Best bet if you're desperate for it is to login tonight at midnight and see if it's available. Should generally be alright if you try by about 7am tomorrow morning too.

£10 says it's immediately on back-order at 00:01 on the 16th...!

I think your right.
I can't buy anything I want at the moment from Lego, anytime I get a notification it's gone by the time I log in, a couple of hours usually.

The Porsche was confusing, I got the email but couldn't order as I guess it's coming tomorrow.

I've just ordered the 911.

Mind you, it is 9am here

[ecsrobin]

I was going to order it but the more I see of it the less interested I am.

[esuuv]

911 now available to order - in the UK.

[Spice_Weasel]

Just came here to post the same. I thought I'd try on the off chance before heading to bed. I've just ordered and look to qualify for the Porsche Welcome Pack

[Funk]

Same, just placed my order and got the pack too - £20 off with my VIP credits as well which was nice!

[BaronVonVaderham]

911 and the VIP pack ordered.

Yes it’s a bit slab sided like the Aston, but I realised resistance is futile

The Mustang is the high point of the series so far, although special mentions go to the Caterham because no stickers, and the F40 because I was born in the 80’s

[smithyithy]

Woohoo! Order in!

[Funk]

God, we're such suckers aren't we - anything vaguely car-shaped with the word 'LEGO' embossed on it and we get our wallets out...

Edit: not shown up under 'My Orders' yet though, but the payment went through.

Ordered, is the VIP pack automatic if you are a member?

Couldn’t see how to add it during order process.

[smithyithy]

It showed up at the checkout on mine:

[AndyWoodall]

Thats interesting, no sign my side and I've checked I was signed in as VIP.

Have tried to add another to basket and no mention of the pack like on yours. Weird.

[Funk]

They were limited in number - posts on Brickset saying they were gone in half an hour apparently..!

[The Brummie]

I tried - no luck. Annoyed. Much.

[smithyithy]

Wow, must've been really limited - I'm sure I saw that they'd pulled the VIP pack from the US store entirely?

[Funk]

Sets already popping up on eBay for £180-200...

[Silenoz]

Not showing the VIP pack for me either. Really annoying!

[Bullett]

Placed an order, no VIP pack that I could see.

A police station also fell into my bag.
