Disappointment... The better deals were everywhere else earlier this week.

Retailers going 40-60% off on popular sets, one even gives store vouchers for 100% of the value of your pre-selected (Lego) buys. 

And then there is Lego... 20% on mainly the crappy sets. Goodnight

[MasamuneHonjo]

Am I missing something?  I thought this sale was supposed to be something to jump on, it's just crap on sale!

[barq]

Tantive IV and VW Camper 20% off, nothing else of note

LEGO® Originals Wooden Minifigure - EMEA v2 as a VIP reward, but sold out in minutes

[KShine]

I am personally fine with nothing special - Happy to try to save my positive cashflow.

[MasamuneHonjo]

Folks in the UK, where else have good deals for LEGO?  I've been holding off for months thinking Black Friday on LEGO's site would be the best place.

The Tantive is a good buy, as should the VW Camper eventually be - But last weeks Tant with Teal, Keychain, and double VIP was better than the 20% off

Likely a good sign for the hoarders, as lego's supply is likely drying up.

When I say I've been holding off, I mean I've passed on other deals, such as the recent John Lewis deal, thinking Black Friday would be better.  I wish I'd just bought stuff last week instead.

in eu seeing VW camper & tantive thats it.

I'm Tentative to get more Tantiv.  Also feel like if I want a T1 for personal  I'll ask on site here as someone with Too many for Too long would likely make me a better offer and I would rather a fellow BPer got my money instead anyway.  Some good (not great) deals all week on stuff around various retailers anyway, so be it.

Nah. Ninjago City last year was prob my best buy of 2019. $160 carousels the year before were nice too. 

There is just no stock for anything good this year. They should put the taj on sale. 

[Forge99]

Blimey this Lego sale is terrible, hardly any sets on sale. Are the planning on adding more over the next couple of days because this is so underwhelming, even by Lego standards.

I've only ever had issues like that with smaller sets, all the larger sets are usually fine.

As predicted by [mention=40002]ravenb99[/mention] pure disappointment.

I believe that you need high expectations to be disappointed. I expect Lego to meet my expectations when I login.

Got my carousels for 126 + Brick Friday Minifig + Tree + points. After selling tree & figure my buy-in was 50 for the carousels.

[redghostx]

But did everyone use their vip points to earn double vip points?

I don’t think you get VIP points when you spend VIP points...

You have to be of a certain BP age to get that reference. It was a LONG discussion.
