It appears that 8043 is now also on S@H Lego.com. It wasn't there last night. Why couldn't they put it on there when it was free shipping for orders over $75?

The answer is simple: because then you wouldn't have to pay for shipping ;)

Companies like it when you pay money to them! Even LEGO is not immune.

Playing with LEGO when I can. Where does the time go?

I did get the free shipping when I ordered the Shuttle Adventure last month from S@H. I guess I'll have to visit the local Toys'R'Us store and see if I can get the 8043 at the same price as S@H. It would have been nice if they had the free ship promo offer a bit longer. :)

Wasn't it just relesed? A set getting discontinued in 2 weeks. :roll:

It was due to some sort of quality issues with the motorized function.

I picked up my copy of 8043 at Mastermind Toys and it was yanked from Lego.com the day after. I guess I'll see what kind of quality problem once I get around to building it. The good fun thing with Lego is you can always MOD your own fix. :)
