I really can't justify buying Lego for myself.

I will probably grab a couple of the classic boxes, some Lego Frozen and Lego Friends sets (either Amusement Pier or Water Park) for the kids.

One of my daughters is still 3. She is right on the cusp where the Duplo stuff is too babyish for her, but the 4+ Lego is still a bit too complicated.
Anybody have any suggestions?
- deeeno on 15/06/2020 - 21:45
  
  1500 classic box, my 3 year old loves just putting pieces together (I got the 900 classic box mid covid). You can always join in and help build something more substantial like a house, car, pool, bunk bed, bus.
  
  Alternatively pick up a Lego Friends set with little animal figurines, really good for role playing or making up stories at that age. Definitely stop with the Duplo, good decision.
  - John Stone on 15/06/2020 - 22:00
    
    Cheers, appreciate the suggestions.
    Do you have a link to your suggested Lego friends set with the animals?
    - deeeno on 15/06/2020 - 23:47
      
      All the new jungle sets are your best bet:
      
      Lego Friends Jungle Rescue Base 41424 $119
      Lego Friends Alpaca Mountain Rescue 41432 $69
      
      I'd be after them if my 6 yo wasn't so hot on the waterpark.
      
      The one we recently picked up was the Lego Friends Dolphin Rescue Amazon Link
      
      Submarine is very cool, two dolphins very nice, sunken ship looks nice but ultimately forgettable.

From looking in the "Toy List" while in the waitlist it seems like there is nothing good left.

Edit: No, don't trust the toy list, Camper Van is still there.
shiprekt on 16/06/2020 - 00:11

I had the craziest experience, I had Big W open on my laptop, PC and mobile. My laptop had been on the page since 10:15pm, then said I had an 1hr wait. So on my PC I just went straight to bigw.com.au and I got straight in.
- Gnostikos on 16/06/2020 - 00:27
  
  Yeah I found that too, except I just used different browsers. Opened Mozilla and got a 1 hour wait time estimate; then opened Chrome and instantly was able to place an order.
  - shiprekt on 16/06/2020 - 00:41
    
    I can confirm, I got straight through using Chrome as well. Firefox browsers stuck in the queue.

So seems like of you opened the pages before 10pm and still had it open then you were at the start of the queue. My phone said 15mins but was in by 10mins. Tablet said 10mins but had issues loading.

  My two PC's had the pages open at 8pm. They got 1.15 queues. I opened it on my Ipad at 11, I got 30 minute queue (although has been stuck at 15 minutes for 15 minutes now and not going down).
- Brick Tamland on 16/06/2020 - 00:26
  
  That must have been the trick. I clicked into big w exactly 12.01 and copped a 1 hour 15 min queue.
RespectMyAuthoritar on 16/06/2020 - 00:23

I missed out on everything because I'm still in a one hour queue and I just hit refresh :)
danielm88 on 16/06/2020 - 00:24

Tab open waiting since 10pm hit refresh at 12:01 and says wait 10min finally get in and all big sets out of stock huge waste of time. If you're in a queue right now for big Lego sets ie, UCS falcon, Death Star and Hogwarts castle they are all out of stock.

Did anyone else checkout as a guest and just get thrown back to the login page after completing payment with no order confirmation?

I added the Bugatti into my cart successfully and then watched it slip away as an error occurred during payment. Thanks for nothing. All major sets were gone when I got access at 12.08am! I reckon they had less than 5 of everything. Poor form BigW!

shiprekt on 16/06/2020 - 00:36

Whats the chances if a confirmation email was received but they will actually not fulfill the order due to errors. I got my order confirmed at 12:08 but I'm beginning to wonder if I will actually receive it.
dmcneice on 16/06/2020 - 00:36

10 Min queue for the past 25 mins. Seems broken.
drl on 16/06/2020 - 00:38

I added all I want in the cart and checked out with 2mins. Then I was kicked out from the payment sections twice. Then Finally, get through to the payment section the third time and had to select PayPal to check out. But all items I wanted out of stock. I got access at 12:02 AM !!!!!!!!!
Even for the Paypal payment, it crashed once.
maulmonk on 16/06/2020 - 00:41

yup, had the helmets in my cart then got booted from payment and then all were gone. wondering if anyone actually got one
ozisaver on 16/06/2020 - 00:41

tip for anyone who manages to get whatever is left. don't use credit card. wouldn't process. went all laggy. got through with paypal eventually. just missed out on the lego i came for though

      It was really weird. Chose to Click & Collect the order, paid via PayPal, the payment went through but no confirmation email from BigW. Tried to order and pay via PayPal again and it kept failing several times before the item suddenly showed as unavailable for Click & Collect; then I switched to delivery and paid via CC and it finally worked and the confirmation email arrived straight away.

Mine just jumped from an hour wait to 'in' literally just now… but I had another browser where it was the same wait (1 hr) and accidentally hitting back while browsing the catalogue let me in so I've ordered already… The whole wait lounge is kind of broken.
- Gnostikos on 16/06/2020 - 00:58
  
  The whole site was broken; waiting lounge, checkout and payment processing.
  
  They definitely weren't ready for the amount of traffic or orders.
  - MadoxNet on 16/06/2020 - 01:00
    
    Yeah had a few 405 errors trying to access the shopping cart.

      I was on at 11.30, no queue. Went back 11.45pm, 1 hour queue. Waited 70mins to see my wait time jump to 4 hours. Meanwhile others were able to circumvent the wait lounge? I disagree this system showed preparation or was in any way first come first serve. Congrats on your scores though.

        @Sploo: I ended up cheating the game, had 30 mins wait for over an hour and so just opened the Big W site in incognito on my phone, after a 3 tries it dumped me to the main page. Takes some talent to mess up a queue system but here we are
- Veloheads on 16/06/2020 - 01:09
  
  Was sitting at 30 mins for the last 45 mins and now it's jumped up to 4 hours!?!
  
  What a waste of a night, here's hoping the stores have some stock of the Technic Ducati I had my eye on.
  - Sploo on 16/06/2020 - 01:19
    
    Pretty sure it was online only like the other expensive sets :(
    - Gnostikos on 16/06/2020 - 02:19
      
      Not it was available for Click & Collect, at least initially in WA, but after repeatedly attempting to place a C&C order with no luck, my selected branch mysteriously reverted to not being available for C&C (I'm guessing their stock levels were taking a while to update with the volume of orders), so I ended up finally succeeding by placing a delivery order for it.
      
      There should still be quite a lot of stock for the Ducati Panigale, it was by no means sold out even within the first two hours of the sale (last I checked) and I could see several branches stocking it in WA alone.

tm32 on 16/06/2020 - 07:34

Glad I gave up at 10:30pm and went to bed. Did anyone else poke around the sites code and realise this was always a tighly controlled exercise from the start and by inference they had little stock. The queuing system was based on your browser being issued a specific cookie, and that I assume was queued up server side. I suspect some folk who loaded the page just after 12:01 actually got in before those that waited the 2 hrs.
thestu on 16/06/2020 - 08:47

I had the PC open at 10pm when they took the site down. Waited until 12, site gave me a waiting time of 30 mins. Then all of a sudden 12:01 I was in! Quickly added the car transporter, ducati and falcon and checked out. 12:04 bedtime! :D Finally an online sale that worked for me haha.
too_much_boost on 16/06/2020 - 11:18

I put a few things in my wishlist yesterday, woke up this morn at 6am and jumped on my phone. Doms Technic was already sold out but managed to get a technic transporter pickup. Took 3 mins. No idea if they actually will have stock though :|

BigW's poor launch of the ToyMania sale made the news apparently.

The article's mostly a parade of first-world problems and angry Karens but it does go to show that it wasn't just some OzBargain hysteria; plenty of people were having issues with the queue/virtual lounge system and placing orders, and the stock levels were ridiculously inadequate nation-wide.
