did you have problems? was the system down & buggy and you got tons of "Error" messages? apparently lego doesn't care about updated/modern programming :rant: smaller companies have less online problems  :whistle:

I ordered 2, first one for me then after several more attempts another for a friend, mine is coming next Wednesday (first one ordered to west coast), my friends is coming tomorrow! (second order to middle of country) :facepalm:

but I don't mind, I'm glad he's getting his first and will have the weekend to build it and enjoy it  :cheers:

Yep, I think it was a traffic problem as everybody tried to order one. They should have opened earlier for per-orders to spread the load.
I simply waited till the evening and tried again, so mine should be shipping on the 15th as it is back-order.

Those are absolutely cool, but if the regular Lego men are called Minifigs, does that mean these ones are Biggiefigs?

Yeah, I got that....

And I'm called Smartass....  :P

Besides, I like the term Biggiefigs better.  Go on, say it to yourself out loud a few times and tell me it isn't habit forming!  :D
