LEGO.com will now tell you when a set is back in stock

The

Group is attempting to combat its inventory issues with a stock notification tool on .

The supply of

sets available through the official online store has basically dried up after the / event. Most of the largest sets – like , and – are either on back order or temporarily out of stock, which is a slight problem if you’re hoping to bag the current promo.

40416 Ice Skating Rink is currently available for free with purchases above £150 / $150. As we noted in our review, it’s a sweet little gift – but it’s also very poorly timed, because there’s barely anything in stock to reach that threshold. (Just look at how much of our Top 20 LEGO Sets List is on back order for the proof.)

The

Group is now trying to remedy the situation by allowing you to sign up for email alerts when the set you’re after comes back in stock. You’ll find the button for individual sets on their product pages, right next to ‘Add to Wish List’.

It’s a one-time-only alert, though, so if you miss that email before the set slips away, you’ll have to sign up all over again. And given how rapidly the

Group’s stock levels are changing at the moment, that’s definitely a possibility.

Of course, you could always just use Brick Fanatics’ stock alert tool. Sign up for our alerts, and we’ll notify you every time a specific set comes back in stock (until you tell us to stop!). So even if you miss it the first or second time, you’re bound to catch it eventually.
