colossus Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 So Double VIP is available for 4 days only? Is that how it was last year (I'm new to the party). I imagine myself showing up on the 2nd or 3rd and finding essentially empty shelves except for Chima and a few Elves sets.That creator train looks nice. I would probably prefer to get that than 2x VIP on everything except maybe 250+ sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago, LEGO Shop at Home did 3x points for a few days, but that was after doing 2x points for a full month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've scored up to 25% off Lego cards on eBay but they only pop up once a month and you need to be the fastest draw in the west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've also heard rumor of a Gingerbread House this year so I'm guessing that's 2 of 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10230 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 That is so disappointing, but in some sense just continues the trend. "Sales" and "offers" by Lego itself don't seem to be what they have been even a just a year ago. Less than 5% higher discount than usual for only 4 days, and no overlap with another promotion is pathetic compared to previous years. Time to other places more closely.

redghostx Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Forget the double VIP, that train runs on dollars for wheels. $_$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfortunek Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Forget the double VIP, that train runs on dollars for wheels. $_$Totally agree. The benefit of 2x VIP points is only another $5 per $100 spent, from 10/1 - 10/4. For that same $100 in late October you get a holiday train set instead? Every one of those trains is worth $15 all day long and upwards of $25 in 2016. I'm going to make as many separate $100 orders as I can as soon as this becomes available. They will probably sell out of them before Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Yes, but why choose one when you can have both? Though I guess not this time around. Edited August 28, 2015 by zskid00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfortunek Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yes, but why choose one when you can have both? Though I guess not this time around.How would you get both when 2x VIP ends 10/4 and the train starts 10/13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
