I understand that a number of people here are struggling with obtaining sets of bricks that are sold out. I understand that there are several branches of Lego User Groups who deal with bulk orders of bricks: http://www.lugnet.com/ . Search around for keyword LUGBULK LEGO – this is a program that is set up by LEGO.
So just an idea – perhaps you could get in touch with your local LUG and see if you can order the bricks through their assistance. And if there is no local LUG available then you may consider setting up one yourself. Anybody knows more about this?
I managed to identify the following rules:
Here are the basic rules:
– The LUG need min. 10 members (please tell us the member figure of your LUG)
– The LUG need to feature at least 2 public displays a year (always the events from the previous year count so please send dates and links to pictures of your 2 biggest public events from 2011)
– The LUG need to exist for at least 1 year (please tell us [TLG, not TBB. -ed] the founding date)
– The LUG need to have an official website (please send us the link – Facebook, flicker or other social media WEB sites will not be accepted)
– The LUG need to have at least a 1 page description of the LUG and the activities on the website (please send us the link to that page)
– Send the Master Data Sheet and the list that you fulfill the above mentioned requirements to the LEGO LUGBULK – Team at lugbulk@LEGO.com no later than the 15th of January (The required information need to be send by every LUG whether the LUG has already participated before in the program or not!)
– Full details (including the templates mentioned above) should already have been distributed within your LUG, but if not, leave a comment here and we can send them to you, or you can contact TLG at the e-mail address above.
