Can't be bought anymore.

I would had had some if they didn't fix it in middle of my order.

This is a glitch, not a sale. You can't actually purchase them.

I doubt it was a glitch, looks and feels more like operator error. IT departments like to test pages before they go live (at least the ones I have had do work for me do)...I placed an order, have an order confirmation, and they have yet to call me to tell me that it wont ship. Also, I have a completed charge on my credit card ($25 for express shipping/processing made sense considering what was saved on the cost of goods, plus getting it out their door before they figure it out is priceless).

BTW, my legal eagles tell me that since I have a confirmation, and my card has been charged, (read: not a pending charge, but ACTUAL completed billing) they have entered an agreement to sell. An agreement that can be enforced legally. Will I ever take it that far? Nah, not really worth the money that said eagles would charge, plus, I love TLG, they provide a hobby and lifestyle for my family.

I'll update this thread with some information as it comes, or the pics of the goods when they arrive.

I placed an order for 10 of each when the sale first went live. I received an email later stating that since they wanted as many people as possible to purchase these items that my order was modified to only 1 of each set. I really doubt that that is the true reason, more likely they just didn't want to sell any more of these than they had to at the $4.98 price mistake.

So whoever did get their orders in should at least get 1 of each item ordered.

But hey, cool that you guys at least slipped in while it was live.

[Iare Tosevite]

Yeah. In my case it was so close. I actually had 5 in my cart, and it went to zero between entering info for shipping and payment and confirmation.

[BrickSith206]

Update: Order has shipped, with the original quantities of each that I ordered. I would not call this "express" processing/shipping, but considering what I am getting for the cost, I can honestly not complain about anything for a very long time!

[SuperDave]

My orders (each set in a separate order) shipped as well, but the quantities were reduced from 3 wreckers and 2 kings to one of each. With shipping, that doubled the price. :-( Not sure if I can contact customer service about this....

[BrickSith206]

My order arrived yesterday, no quantity reduction of either set.
