I just bought mine today (Tuesday 9/30/08) because I didn’t hear about it till now and there was no problem ordering. But I wouldn’t wait too much longer.

@ Andrew: Your wording, though now understandable, was ambiguous. If you say, ““The set will not be made available to the general public through the LEGO Shop online” that implies it WILL be available to code holders online. ;) Perhaps it would have been better to leave out any mention of “online” at all since that is NOT a venue through which it will be available. :) Wait… why am I trying to prevent confusion? All you casual fans, you can order through the website. :O

@Timothy:

I don’t think this would hit gizmodo, or that the amount of Lego fans there would mess this up for everyone. To lego, shame on you for not making the most bad ass Advent calender ever available to the public in the US, we have to be a significant customer base, why not release this set everywhere?

@gazakull:

There are LEGO fans who occasionally blog about LEGO there.
