  • Highly detailed - Colorful, with an interior in the cabin and the hull, a real eye candy.
  • Expert level building experience

Sounds like sets going missing has been a regular occurrence for Aus and NZ purchasers. I seem to be having the same issue. Received a shipped notification two months ago but no tracking information. Hopefully whatever the issue is Bricklink/Lego will fix it so it doesn't happen again. I'll be disappointed if I miss out on this set but its not as important to me as the sets I ordered in Rounds 2 and 3..

So, yesterday my Great Fishing Boat arrived. After months of “delays” it finally got express shipped. There was no padding in the outer box and the DHL delivery man dropped it as he handed it over. The inner box suffered several bruises! Grrrr!

My credit card was charged and I was notified of shipment in February of this year. Sadly the set never showed up and the tracking with lasership just said "awaiting receipt of your package from the seller." Despite contacting lego customer service numerous times no one could tell me what happened and they refunded me. Kind of sad seeing how long everyone waited.

I got notified a month ago mine had been shipped and credit card charged. Long story short I never received shipping tracking information. Lego customer services have determined that the courier in Australia has lost or stolen it and it has never been scanned, no tracking details were ever created and Lego have chosen to refund me as obviously they can't replace the set. So it's vanished into thin air! Absolutely gutted after waiting a year for this set.

Finally got mine, after almost a year waiting. I’m so disappointed in Lego. The box is completely ruined (before packaging) on all sides (except the back). Quality control is obviously not done with these kind of sets since the number of sets is limited. Nothing they can (or will) do about it. So you can be lucky or unlucky. The other set I ordered this round (Castle in the Forest) was cancelled for me as well. Cost me a lot to get it on the after market. That was already bad luck. And now again….

@mstewart009 : same situation in France, but here a mail from LEGO : "Your order was placed on or after August 3rd when we made additional Round 1 sets available to pre-order. We made a mistake by not reminding you the sets you ordered in this second wave of pre-ordering wouldn’t start shipping until as late as June 2022. We’re sorry for not mentioning this and apologize if we’ve caused any confusion." > so june 2022

Got notification that my copy of the Great Ship has finally shipped here in the US. Now to see if Lasership can actually deliver it without destroying it... Why it isn't going FedEx like every other Lego order I've placed in unknown.

I'm pleased to see that some have received their orders and I am looking forward to getting mine. I don't understand why there should be a 6 month gap between sending out the 2 5K batches. There was only a couple of months between the ordering windows. I found an Australian eBay seller who must have got in the first batch because he claims to have 4 available with 1 sold at $999.99 AUD. I detest people like that.

It would be nice to get an update aside from the same backorder/out of stock email. It is somewhat disconcerting when there is only 10,000 in existence lol (also...this has been a long 8 months waiting for this)

I ordered 3 sets from this round and all of them were marked as backordered. The email I got about the Fishing Boat says that it will ship out by February 8. Maybe they are having issue getting the full supply in.

Did anyone recieve an email about their order being backordered because the product is out of stock? If they only made a limited number of sets, how will they restock it? This is very vexing.

@DefenderBen It wasn't a loop hole. Marvin Park from the Lego Group said in an interview before round 1 it would be positive problem for them if these will sell out fast when he was asked how he sees the problems with the limit of 5 per customer with the limit of only 5000 units of each product (initially). Later they raised the 5k to 10k but all castles were already sold with the 5 per user limit so it made no difference.

Well done LEGO with the announcement of orders being shipped soon for the first round, those of us who missed out now facing prices 5-6 times what they were sold for because you guys didnt do the right thing and go back and change the limits to 1-2 so everyone could have a fishing boat or castle. Instead you allowed scalpers paradise and closed the barn door once the horse had already bolted!! To the scalpers profiting off these loopholes LEGO allowed i hope you step on pieces many times over in bare feet!

@VaughnCrafts: As it stands right now, only aftermarket and building from own parts when instructions and parts list become available. First batch of 5k will ship in January, people were allowed to buy five sets. The second batch of 5k sets had a limit of one per household and will ship in June next year.

The original 25 sets in *total* could have been just 1 per person. So each person wouldn't even got more than one project (on first day). That limit could have been lifted e.g. after a few days so that every one gets at least some set of some project. I'm just thinking what would be fair for everyone as there is hard limit of how many sets can be produced (25k initially but 50k now for each round). To me it seems TLG didn't run this project very well.

@keybler: In July, everyone was allowed to buy five sets each of all seven Round 1 projects, five projects were realized, which adds up to a maximum of 25 sets per person.

@stocco, Before you speak, you should first figure out what your talking about. There was never a 25 per set limit. On top of that this was wave 2 preorder. You just missed out twice.

This whole program was designed to maximize scalper profits. The limit was 5k and each scalper could buy 25 sets in total. Not one but 25. Here’s what another company did in a similar case to actually reduce scalping and to make the buy process smooth: “And as always, there was no rush to be the fastest clicker in the world, nor was there any spamming of the refresh button, or competing against bots and their legion of scalpers. Like every restock, today's new release was handled via a queue, which is to say, fans and scalpers alike were put in a virtual line, at random, and the stock was released slowly.”

When will these be back in stock? I would love to have one of these, but I will probably switch out the five for the ones from the hidden side shrimp boat set.
