The relaunched LEGO Ulysses Space Probe promotion has once again sold out within minutes, disappointing LEGO fans in the process.
6373604 Ulysses Space Probe is a promotional LEGO item, inspired by the real-life probe of the same name. It first appeared in mid-2021 in the LEGO.com VIP Rewards Centre, originally intended as a companion to 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery. LEGO VIP members could redeem points to add the set to their next LEGO.com order.
Unfortunately, fans wanting to acquire the set at the time struggled to do so. The site encountered technical issues (presumably as a result of so many people accessing it at once) with the set selling out very soon after it became available.
Now it seems history has repeated itself. While 6373604 Ulysses Space Probe relaunched in the VIP Rewards Center earlier today, it went out of stock again in a matter of minutes. Some LEGO fans have also reported technical issues while trying to access the site at this time.
6373604 Ulysses Space Probe isn't necessarily a must-own set (although it's a nice choice for LEGO and space fans), but its continued unavailability is certainly frustrating. Doubly so when its popularity is something the LEGO Group could presumably have anticipated. Still, if you haven't been to acquire it, now might be the time to ask: do you want it on its own merits, or because it's difficult to acquire?
There's no telling when (or if) the probe will fly back into view, leaving the secondary market one of your best bets. However, with eBay prices starting at around £80 in the UK, you may literally find that a tough sell.
