    Add me to the list of being super bummed out.

    I was hoping it would mysteriously become available again but it’s removed from the VIP Rewards site now.

    It’s interesting though the LEGO Group would support price gouging on this set:

    https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5006744-1&name=Ulysses Space Probe&category=[Promotional][Space]#T=S&O={"iconly":0}

    I could go on and on about the ethics but why bother.

    I guess “play well” only applies to a certain few.

    My nose gear is very hard to get to extend (I really have to jam the flap to get it to go down)... if anyone else experiences this, could you let me know?

    not sure if I need to tear down and find an issue or if this is just how it is :/

    Ended up grabbing the Jungle Dragon while they're having double points. Looks like a fun build and I like dragons, so hey. Happy birthday to me, I guess

    Just the basics
    I watched the jangbricks review and all the gear on his worked fine. Sometimes bricks bind if joined too tight. I'm thinking technique pieces.

    Nice. Good pickup on the Ulysses probe. I was way to slow for that.

    I’m green with envy. I’m glad someone here got one instead of the scalpers.

    Got my response from the email sent that morning.

    My take-a-ways - “screw you,” “you lose,” “no you can’t have one” and “please take this survey”.

    I’ll hold off submitting the survey for a day or so if anyone here would like to weigh in.

    I follow a few Lego accounts on IG and theres been a lot of remarks about the probe release and website issues. You guys aren't the only ones who got screwed over and are unhappy with how it all went down

    Been doing a lot of cleaning and organizing this weekend. Few random bits up for grabs if anyone is interested. $5 each?
    New/sealed poly bags

    0417211538c.jpg
    Disney CMF new/sealed. One is Dale of Chip and Dale and the other is Louie from Huey, Dewey and Louie
    0417211539.jpg
    And some random figs that were either duplicates or mis-ID'd during the blind bag feel at the store
