BricksBrotha Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Im guessing 10274 will be toos by then (avail 11/15), noentheless that will be my goal for a personal build. Otherwise might get corner garage or bookshop+ for a flip. Edited November 13, 2020 by BricksBrotha typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I don't feel like much of a VIP if they are requiring me to spend $150-$200 for a gift. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 dickens promo is best in a while methinks. Would really have gone all out to get a bunch of these this year but 150$ is really a steep ask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a Treehouse, Diner, Ecto-1 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I'm going to make a case for the White and Black Porsche RSR. Have folks seen this set in person? It's probably the best color-way of all the big Technic Sports Cars...it was also on again/off again on the EOL lists this year. I just saw one last night at a car dealership...it's truly eye catching and attractive to car enthusiast in general. This post is more of a fan review...but I think this one will be the equivalent of the poor man's Orange Porsche which is fetching $500-$600 currently...as that value goes up this one won't be far behind once it EOL. Easy x2 year removed from EOL and maybe x3+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really have gone all out to get a bunch of these this year but 150$ is really a steep ask. Exactly my thought as well. At $100 ea I might get several of them. But at $150 ea I might get two. Maybe. Another thought occurred to me though. What if there is a limited supply of these. The higher price point would be warranted to slow down distribution and make it last a little longer. But who knows. That teal brick though @ $200!? Unless it has a gold minifigure included, I don't get that price point at all. Maybe LEGO will have a deal years in the future that you can turn in five different colored GWP bricks for a real LEGO set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 that was the worst f'n return on a promo ever. Not sure how a 2nd one was needed and how that would help an already shitty first one.Worse than chima fire bike? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Well, look how much mileage we’ve gotten out of it. True. That's invaluable, plus it serves as a gift with purchase from the new seller's perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than chima fire bike? least fire bike was like $35 buy in and could get the mega stack on those cause they couldn't get rid of them with the amounts they had. Think I was getting 2 or 3 per $35 lol. Damn brick was actually super limited and pretty strict on the amounts. Got like $20 for the stupid red brick after $200 buy in. Luckily it stacked with something else at the time but man that thing sucked . Who would of guessed no one cared about a plain red buildable brick. Dickens will be gold though so guess that makes up for it. Seeing every set is $200 and up it seems shouldn't be to hard to pick stuff out. That buy in should keep it high all season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the Book of Monsters isn't just tied to purchases of harry potter. Probably going to be a high purchase value gwp considering the piece count. 20 minutes ago, Bricks Eh said: Hopefully the sale list leaks soon... getting my midnight shopping list ready =P I just hope theres enough stock to last an hour before it hits the UK. Last year was a little disappointing to see certain sets sold out bang on midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received the latest Lego catalog in the mail. The catalog contains details of the Black Friday promos. According to the fine prints, for the Charles Dickens promo (available on 11-21-22 and 11/27-30), the "offer is not valid toward sale items". I don't recall ever having seen this wording on previous GWPs. Does this mean that if you purchases $150 of "Black Friday sale items", you will NOT get the Charles Dickens promo?
