Predictions for the upcoming Lego Black Friday Event

[ravenb99]

nothing official released yet but from what it looks like would just be 20 off sets this year.  Think the daily thing is a no go to avoid big crowds lining up daily with the rona.  Stores got hit super hard this year on the early weekend.  Like harder than BF hard.  That's a hard dickens.  Should know something mid week hopefully.  Each year it gets closer and closer  think last year was just a few days before.

The UK site now says "Come back for the VIP Rewards sale, this Black Friday weekend, 27/11 - 30/11." separate from the 20% off selected sets bit.

Wonder if the leaked 30% off sets from Italy are only available with VIP points?

Last year in UK they had a Chinese set (boat race) / winter set (train) / ideas (apollo), so list from Italy looks legit.

Dickens held strong at 60 through VIP weekend,  actually went back up today,  saw some low 50s yesterday then sold out at 60.   Now I'm gonna have to pack my dickens off tomorrow.

All that is making me question it is that their graphic only says up to 20% off selected sets. 2 of the leaked ones from Italy were 30% wasn't it?

You definitely need too ask before you put your Dickens in the back...

In Italy lego B&M is sold via LCS and not official lego store, maybe they are running a slightly different promo. The online lego store in Italy is the official lego one though.

20% off some bigger sets might not be bad. But yeah, I’m thinking it’s not gonna be as good as last year .

is all 20 off, no daily deals which was expected,   Biggest 4 sets are vestas, T1, Tantive, Droid Commander

after that Shanghai, Flinstones, Steamboat

which leaves the usual random brickheadz, some seasonals,   random small / medium sets, crappy selling themes (hidden side) and hardlines stuff.

just no reason for them to do much this year though.  Raised the GWP thresholds to 150 and still sold out in 2-3 hours at most stores and still sold tons without them.   If you do want a big set though I'd get it this weekend.  Just don't see much being left after BF/CM if they do as much as the did this weekend.

looks like all the holiday stuff is pretty much gone for the year,  at LL as well.   Which blows.

Backs up what you were saying about not wanting the crowds in this 'rona environment. Nothing would discourage me from making the effort more than those discounts and on nothing exciting. I'll do all my shopping from home.

Looks like all pretty much comparatively hard to move sets as expected. There's no incentive to discount anything too desirable

funny is stores still had 50 lined up which was more than I ever remember.  Did have a lot of stock this weekend though and probably last good shot of the xmas sets and seasonals.  So probably drove a lot of the sales cause all that was mostly sold out online and not available other places.

well if that is the case on sales sounds like I am good to buy the space sets at 40 off and the Porsche at 119 as those aren’t going to get better than that or close ? lol

Maybe i missed something... we’re you saying that you know that all sets are 20% off? or just listing sets you would buy at 20% off

Right! gotcha... i’m hoping the list of actual sets that will be in sale leaks here soon... 

Also, someone said that Dickens will not be included with sale items... is this true?? can’t find that written anywhere? (maybe it was referring to the “sale” items in the rewards center??)
