Rowdy1854 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Just came back a couple months ago from a four year absence collecting Lego, sorry for my ignorance. I placed four orders last night and four more this morning. I am now worried that I might have abused the promotion, what is the general consensus on how many orders during a promotion.

The consensus is to spread out the purchases, wait for a couple to ship, and then you can order again. You may be ok, LEGO is very inconsistent with their policy enforcement.

gregpj Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 why? i prefer to order things on backorder for the promo - that way it doesn't damage the actual item you are buying and you usually get the promo even faster than normal because they send it separate so you can get in on the flip quicker. of course if you live near a store why bother. Sometimes people buy LEGO to build. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Yep. Just getting one train and one snow globe for build. Sitting out the flipping of the snow globe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they stopped shipping promos seperatley if the item ordered is not in stock. Too many people were abusing the keychain workaround to get multiple promos for free. Current workaround is order train on BO and a keychain that is in stock. They will ship the promo with the keychain. I will stop there ethics and all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that changed, at least for me, last couple freebies with back order purchases waited to be shipped together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they did change it. Same thing with my last few purchases that had back-ordered items. The free promo DID NOT ship until the other item came back in stock, then both shipped together.

Ed Mack Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 The snow globe is probably my favorite freebie of all time. Very creative set. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to order a keychain that I don't want just to get the free promo item faster. I can wait until the item I wanted is in stock to get it shipped 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 And I .... I picked up a PaB cup full of 1x1 plates to score just enough double VIP points to get the next $5 in points, and have no snow globes (though I might score one on BF on a Beetle ). Bought 4 48x48 baseplates at KMart instead for 20% off and scored $20 in points .... will combine both orders to make 4 black & grey (or maybe purple & grey for my daughter) portraits - 40197 inspired me.Really nothing that interests me at LEGO Shop at Home so far.

exciter1 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 it's retiring soon in europe... Hope so! Not too confident after all the Rebels battle packs lasted another year.If we can get $30 for Winter Skating Scene now, I'm pretty sure the Snow Globe will be $40-$50 next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete411 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I think the snow globe will be $50 in mid December. Right in between what the train and house were last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirborneAFOL Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Picked up 6 GBH by this time last year. Sitting out the Globe this time around. Discounts elsewhere, lack of appealing LEGO Shop at Home items, market uncertainties - just can't bring myself to join the fray. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
