My order included MBA Kit 1, MBA Kit 2-6 and free shadow ARF and I ordered on May 3rd. So, they had to reorder them without the Shadow ARF tropper because they no longer have it. You guys better call them to see what is going on if it has not been shipped.
Oh lovely! After seeing that vynsane sent them an e-mail, I did the same, but have not heard back yet. I guess I'll phone tomorrow if I don't hear back, but since they shipped the PAB box it seems like they "should" have my order. Go figure.

vynsane - do post if you hear back, I'm curious.

gabriellee11 did they offer you something else in exchange for the promo they can't ship to you?
Yes, they gave me 2 day shipping + 2 Pick a Brick Box (basically an extra PAB box...they didnt have many left though). I just reordered the MBA Kit 1, but if your entire order would have been of $35 or more they will probably would have given you a Free Euro Racer polybag too.

That sounds fair.

I received my shipping notice tonight for the actual kit so I guess I shouldn't have bothered w/ the e-mail.

Got my confirmation email as well. I'm completely stoked to see what this is all about.
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

Does anyone understand how the shipping costs work for MBA? If I buy it when they are offering free shipping will all the kits ship for free? Since the subscription for kits 2-6 is $69.99 is the shipping charge $8.95 for all 5 kits? (based on this shipping chart: http://shop.lego.com/TermsPolicies/ship ... ndling.asp)

I'm kind of regretting that I didn't just buy it during the last free shipping promo.

Does the Lego Store still give free shipping if you order it through by going into the B&M store?

Any other options to get free shipping? ;) Thanks!

I picked up the MBA 1 at the LEGO store in Troy, MI this weekend.

I think they did a nice job on the manual/book.
The tray is a little flimsy, but acceptable.

Glad the minifig didn't have the face shown on the box, never liked the plain face.
Will order kits 2-6 as soon as I can afford it.
I have inoperable cancer and am unable to work. Any gifts would be appreciated. Thank you!

Yes, you are only charged once for shipping.

I was looking to order the Set 2-6 MBA today, but it's disappeared off the LS@H web site. Anyone know if this is still available?

Thanks.

UGH, I was planning on ordering it w/ free ship and was waiting a week or two. I wonder if it's b/c they don't want to offer free shipping on it? Let us know if you find out info.

WOW, that's odd. I'm glad I got my order in early. Kit 2 is on its way, according to the email I received...

My guess it has to do with update that happened over night.
Think there are quite a few bugs to be worked out.

I looked at some pictures of Kit 2, and it looks very nice! I hope MBA comes to Canada. I would definitely subscribe.

Ya, my only other 'gripe' about the set is it has no minifigures. But hey, 222 pieces out and 4 more sets... this is well worth the money.

Plus... the set is all about the 'minibuild'. So it is actually very interesting cuz it tries to teach you techniques for that. I like that Lego is going with a variety of different 'ways' to build. Geniuses there I tell you.

MBA Kits 2-6 are showing up again on-line now. Must have been lost in the migration to the new website layout.

Aren't there supposed to be buildable accessories for the green pilot minifigure in each box? What are the accessories included here?
