The sets are on their way to North America, and we should
beginning shipping them in late June. They are currently available in
Europe.

Dear Jake,
I received shipping notification yesterday, as did others.
Please give me the company that unloads freigth containers, gets them
through customs, unpacks containers and ships them to customers, all within
24 hours.
Many compnaies in the US always struggle with the speed of customs,
unloading, etc. How does Lego get this done so fast?
Or... were the sets already in the warehouse (for a while), and was the
information you were told to pass on not entirely acurate....

It’s not that anything was incorrect, but that multiple tasks that typically
(or at least often) take longer to come together worked out lighting fast
this time around. When I first posted, the latest data was that we would
need
until June to start shipping. It turned out that we were able to start
shipping sooner... I hope you don’t mind! :)

Although I do not mind, you did write that the sets “...are on their way to
North America..”. I do not mind faster shipping, but as I do import stuff for my
lab and as a company rep. as part of my job(s), and deal with customs myself
(tons of paperwork/stamps/etc), I cannot buy it that they were”...on their
way...”. They must have been in the warehouse already. Of couse I do not mind
shipping sooner, but I am just interested in the workings of the company, do
they write up what you can communicate to us, do you get some facts and are
expected to write with limited knowledge, or is it even a PR plot to say “look
how fast we are”...:)
