2014 Black Friday & Cyber Monday : Poll, questions, comments, etc...

[trekgate502]

This is pretty cool most exciting thing today.

 

We should maybe ask for a Cyber Monday off work badge for those who will be off work to focus on buying deals on that Monday!

Or maybe we don't want that as a badge of honor.

 

We may have to get a thread in any event this is the most talked about subject on BP today I think.

 

I think we have DNIM, BA, Alpinemaps, sroster and trekgate in so far.

[sroster]

I will not officially be taking the day off but I work from home so 99.9% of my focus will be on BPer deals and when I have a down 3 seconds check my emails and pretend I am around for work.  So only a half-badge for me.

 

Did anyone else notice the new TRU $5 off $25 purchase excludes lego?  Liked to use that one to get a free mixel basically, looks like that party is over.

Last year I planned on monitoring BP and shopping sites from work on Cyber Monday but Monday's can be notoriously busy....and I got called to at least 2 special meetings and missing nearly everything. So count me in for taking CM off this year. Lol

[trekgate502]

Sounds like we are up to 5.5 so far.

 

BA or other Mods should we start a Cyber Monday BrickPicker Stay @ Home thread and move these messages there?

Im taking Cyber Monday off work BTW.

 

Ever since I joined brickpicker I've been slacking off at work. I only give 20% of my time at work while the other 80% I'm occupied with LEGOs. 

A little more time off wouldn't hurt, I'm staying home on cyber Monday too.

 

 

It'll be funny if all of us waited at home in front of the computer ready to hit the buy button and no deals show up.

The most likely occurrence is that we will all sit there and when the deals hit they will OOS way fast. Then those who worked will be a couple minutes late and miss it.

I was already planning on taking CM off for a really long weekend but now I have a reason to be up way early that Monday. :-)

[varmintt]

I'm off Mondays anyway.  My only responsibility on Monday is to get the kids to and from school.  That's a long time to be away from the computer though.  If I keep the kids home CM can we all get badges? 

 

I spoke to Roger Waters and he said it was ok...

 

All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

You guys are taking off work so that you can work.

[TheBrickClique]

Have your credit card customer service numbers on speed dial so you can unlock them whenever you trigger their fraud alerts

I'll be off from work as well. But I'm also going to be in disneyland that day and week. Might be the only one wasting away the time in line by sniping online deals.

[beatpoppa]

Clearly a religious holiday. QED.

Lol we started a trend. The retailers have noticed the BrickPicker effect - how long until the employers notice?

Count me in.......last year I was on vacation over the Black Friday weekend and it killed me. I was able to pull down a few deals on the mobile sites, but I am looking forward to parking my fat, happy ass in front of the screen all day and see what kind of bills I can rack up!!

[jaisonline]

Please post all comments here about these two popular shopping days of each year (at least in the U.S.).

I also added a poll for Cyber Monday

 

 

 

This thread is designed to post any special deals taking place on December 1st, 2014 aka Cyber Monday and Thursday Nov. 28th aka Black Friday.

 

Any leaks, rumors, and hearsay is welcome up till the day of, that is when we keep it real . OP will be updated with confirmed sales/deals/promos...

 

Oh and let us know if you place to "work" from work or are you staying home
