Always amazed at how people forget the amount of money they had to drop on full price stuff to get the promo in the first place.

I don't. I'll never pay full price or get a meagre 10% off during 2x VIP to get a promo that'll get cheaper on eBay and/or appear in Poundstretcher stores for £5 the year after. So far I've paid no more than £7.50 for London Buses, Snow Globes and 24-in-1 sets.

I actually took time to look at the box I got and finally noticed the printed cobblestone tile piece. I think it is new. I like it.

The US horde is really weak these days - 5 days gone and still in stock.

I got one when they first came out, but I'm loading up tonight to get the double promo.

... because there's nothing else worth buying there?

Are people getting multiples shipped?  T&Cs said one per household.

False. No one will want to be without their number of T1s when it quietly retires. Just the right price to qualify too.

Hmmm, I wonder what the chances of this set being added to cart tomorrow with the Gift Box promo and Double VIP?

Personally, I've acquired two of these sets but would add some more if able to "double dip" on the free promos and points...

If it's in stock should add. Says it's thru the 21st or until supplies last. 

Problem I'm having is so much stuff has been for sale elsewhere it's hard to buy at rrp for lego even with the promos. I guess I could use a few more xmas trains...

looks to be under 35 with shipping on ebay now. how far is the freefall?

The preview weekend in store will be a triple stack of diagon ornament box and vip big ole polybag set.  There is plenty good to buy from Lego even at full price. $100 $100 and $40 are the requirements

This weekend. They always do it weekend before and offer the bf holiday promo. This year just happens to have diagon left over and they brought in more vip sets again to add on.

Just placed an order online, promo double-stacks allowing both the Diagon Alley and the 40292 Christmas Gift set. I doubt they would honor this in-store...

They will give away both promos this weekend in stores, actually 3 promos with $99 spent. I called one of my local stores few hours ago. Diagon alley, gift box and vip Polybag. thats US at least.

That's what I'm loading up on. Holiday Trains haven't been discounted very much if at all if my knowledge is correct. Diagon, Holiday Box, and double VIP = time to buy. I'll then use the points to get City Hospitals at 1/2 price down the road, preferably when there is another decent giveaway promo. I rarely buy from LEGO Shop at Home anymore, but sometimes the stars and planets align and this is one of those times for certain sets.
