Ok, so a little back story. Back in late Dec/early Jan, I had been constantly checking Lego's Bricks and Pieces section to see what's available. I've been BLing a MF for a couple of months now and have been extremely reluctant to buy the rigging or the dish because the secondary prices have been astronomical. Well, after much persistance, the rigging pieces actually showed in stock according to Lego's website, so the moment I could I placed an order for 2. I got an email shortly afterwards that the part was on backorder and the Lego rep had no idea when it would actually come back in stock if EVER.... So I pretty much gave up hope, until I got a shipping notification today from lego that it's on its way. I seriously cannot believe the sheer luck it took to actually get a hold of these pieces considering they are rarer than unicorn poop. That saves me over $200. WOOO. So for those that are curious, keep an eye, because since I placed the order a month ago, it's actually come back in stock once and shortly sold back out. I would say for those that do, don't give up hope. You might get lucky and Lego might give you some good news. And I'm only writing this now because I actually got a shipping confirmation. FREAKING STOKED!!! Do you guys have any stories or either getting really lucky or finding some super sweet deals that you couldn't believe were true???
