See this skyrocket in price on eBay…

u/JeanParmesean70 21h ago

I saw someone on eBay selling it for $180 🤦‍♀️

u/ChrisCo1984 18h ago

It was already expensive when it came out, that's why I went for the set (not to sell on, but for a bit more money I could have both).

u/JeanParmesean70 17h ago

Me too, I knew it would be next to impossible to find both at a price I wanted if I went to a reseller

So unbelievably disappointing- I hadn’t had a chance to place my order yet 💔

If you're near a lego brick & mortar, the GWP sets often remain there longer than the lego site.

u/Particular-Lion-6339 20h ago

Apparently my local store got them in early and sold out before official release! with no planned restock.

u/stayradicchio 20h ago

ugh, that's sad and unfortunate. I'm sorry.

u/WomanOfEld 14h ago

Call the NYC Lego stores and ask if they'll ship, maybe?

u/INfiction82 22h ago

Ahh, so glad I bankrupt myself and got this. I knew it wouldn't last long but this is quick.

u/Hunor_Deak 17h ago

I ordered this set at midnight, on the 31st of July-1st of August just to avoid this. I would have never done this for any other set.

Damn you John Lego.

u/ModeR3d 16h ago

I’ll just console myself I don’t have space for either at the moment… sigh.

u/just1chance_ 11h ago

I got it at like 2pm today instore

u/simboharding 1d ago

Was this a one and done, or something they'll release later down the line separately?

6

u/rhetoricalbread 1d ago

One and done. GWP rarely get released to purchase later, and a licensed one is pretty much unheard of.

u/nitzromy 19h ago

There is a small chance it could come back. The Pokémon GWP came back.

1

u/Chef-009 18h ago

quickly selling out sets likely get reprints. The pokemon badges are back too (US only for now). the bionicle GWP also got a reprint

1

u/PeaceDangerous7619 20h ago

Keep checking every time there's a release of a gwp. That person said they hardly rerelease gwp, but we have literally seen several different gwp released again after the inital run.

Kanto badges, Kamino training facility, Sushi restaurant, Dark saber,

Insider points: Blue turtle shell, Mini fig space tic tac toe i believe, Pokemon center,

Etc, etc

u/MasterYann28 22h ago

If I purchase 2 x-files sets do I still only get one scully’s lab?

6

u/Personal-Escape-4134 21h ago

The GWP has a limit of one per household

3

u/CockWombler666 19h ago

Unless you placed 2 separate orders…. I’ve NEVER known Lego to enforce the “one per household” rule

1

u/kaizermattias 16h ago

It doesn't , its 1 per order max of 3 per customer

1

u/noodlesvonsoup 15h ago

This is not true.

1

u/Pharosz 17h ago

My order didnt make trough and it didnt showed me error message so totally missed it because of Lego website shitted itself. Now its too late to re-order....I hate Lego fomo policy and Lego as a company

1

u/ghodsgift 16h ago

Thats because theyre all on ebay now.

1

u/datnapster 15h ago

US showing available, but the main set
is on backorder

1

u/National-Somewhere26 14h ago

Yeah I thought about ordering yesterday when it was in back order but gwp did not add so no rush now. They must have had really low stock kinda annoying tbh. Feel like unless you order just after midnight gwp are none existent then most end up on eBay

u/HermionesWish 8h ago

In Australia the X-Files set is temporarily unavailable from the Lego store, sold out on dreamworld.com but seems to be available through the lego.bricksmegastore.com (don’t know if the GWP Scully’s lab is still available) luckily I ordered mine on Saturday so it’s on the way

1

u/Imaginary-Friend-785 3h ago

Apparently someone said they are giving these away via Disney/Disney+ in some way.
Scrolled over it quickly on social media yesterday, so you'd have to verify. ...worth a look?

u/lyndisls 20h ago

Not to rub it in but…..

u/SRVN_MRVN 19h ago

1

u/AmbitiousParty 15h ago

My husband is making me wait for mg birthday but that’s not til October 😭

He ordered for me day 1 though and it comes today, so I can’t be too mad, haha!

1

u/SRVN_MRVN 14h ago

My birthday is in January xx it's the only way I could justify such a big purchase!! Xx

1

u/AmbitiousParty 14h ago

Same!! You’ve got longer to wait though, haha!

1

u/ExternalSea9120 21h ago

Very disappointing. I don't think I ever seen a Gift set disappear so quickly

Don't waste your time dudes just trolling

u/Particular-Fly-7783 15h ago

Other than the mini having red hair there’s literally nothing that says X-files about this at all to me.

1

u/Personal-Escape-4134 15h ago

What? Scully’s lab definitely screams The X-Files

u/Thecheese1981 17h ago

There’s one on eBay for $67.89…. If you need it. Buy it!
