So according to the site, LEGO severely underestimated the demand for an $800 set, so the set is "Temporarily Out of Stock" and there will NOT be a widespread release on October 1. LEGO says "everyone will have a chance" to buy it, however.

I'm imagining this will be in store at least through the release of the Han Solo movie, and probably beyond the release of Episode 9 if the demand is there.

Forgot to post this email I received about 2 weeks ago:

Quote
Hello LEGO® Star Wars™ Fan,
As you may know, the new LEGO® Star Wars™ Millennium Falcon (75192), our largest LEGO set ever, went on sale exclusively to VIP Members on September 14. We are very excited that we received such a positive response from fans like yourself, it exceeded all of our expectations! Unfortunately, that also means the first batch has already sold out.

The good news is we are making more as quickly as possible and expect to have very limited quantities available for the remainder of 2017. We have extended the VIP-only access period, which means the new inventory will remain exclusive to VIPs at least through November.

To make your wait a little easier, you can now sign up to receive back-in-stock notifications. Simply confirm your interest below and we’ll email you when a new batch of the Millennium Falcon (75192) is available on shop.LEGO.com

If you'd rather make your purchase at your favorite LEGO Brand Retail store, please call or visit your local store starting Friday 9/29 and ask a Brick Specialist to add you to the wait list.

Lego Stores have these in stock.  Got shipments this past weekend.  Most around me were sold out but was able to find one.  Getting it this afternoon.  My wife told me that I have to take that as my Christmas gift for the next 6 years due to how expensive it is.  Well worth it!

Give your local store a call and good luck!

Lego shop at home had a limited supply in stock yesterday and I managed to grab one.  I was going to wait until I was able to get double VIP points on the purchase, but have jonesing for the set since I finally saw it in person a few weeks back.  So glad I decided to sell off my Marvel Legends and DCUC that paid for this (plus the Silent Mary and a new set of golf clubs  8))

Finally was able to swing by my PO Box to pick up the one I purchased before the end of the year. Didn't see the Black VIP card in the box so I called Lego Customer Service about it. Just so anyone who wasn't aware knows, the card is going to be sent separately at a later date, but apparently my VIP account was set to "no promotional mailings" so that might have affected me getting the card at all, so I highly recommend that anyone who ordered the set before December 30, 2017 that you call in and make sure you're all squared away for getting your card.

Ended up getting my card in the mail today.  Pretty cool item to go along with the set.  Glad it finally came.

I finally got the Falcon on Tuesday.  The box is absurd.

I ordered the parts to make myself one of these stands:

It's the only hope I have of finding a way to display this thing.
