HandyHand Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) The 10242 Mini Cooper retired in December 2018, was discounted for Black Friday 2018 and also included the Christmas Gift promo. So it's quite likely this year we'll see the VW Beetle 10252 (already on "Retiring Soon") get the same treatment. Other possible reductions could be: 75244 Tantive IV 21318 Tree House 21316 The Flintstones Maybe also a Harry Potter set, and a Jurassic World set ... Edited November 18, 2020 by HandyHand Quote

Apparently production has already stopped on this set so I doubt it will last until black friday especially after this vip weekend. Quote

Expand The Christmas Tree was not available online for me Also, my local Lego store didn't have the Christmas Tree but had the Nutcracker as the "Christmas in July" GWP instead I recall that there were several Brickpickers reporting that they managed to get the Christmas Tree at their local Lego stores for a very short period of time 2 Quote
Bricklectic Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 from Dickens fine print ..... Qualifying purchase must be equal to or greater than $150 in LEGO merchandise only. Bricks & Pieces orders are not valid for this promotion. One set per household. Is that enforced or new this year? Quote

The one per house has been on every GWP that I have bothered to read the fine print on. I have never had them send only 1 if I had multiple orders. Quote
nolan808 Posted November 19, 2020 Author Posted November 19, 2020 One per household would see a lot of returned orders I would imagine. Quote
nolan808 Posted November 19, 2020 Author Posted November 19, 2020 So what's everyone's plans for the upcoming VIP Weekend? Has anyone been holding out on certain sets waiting for a promo event like this. I personally would like to pick up the treehouse but am unsure if it will go to the sales next week. Quote

Expand 1 per household will be terrible if they go forward with it. Will be a pain to send stuff back, although I think it's free to return you just have to call them or something. Lol if I only get one the post office is going to hate me even more. Quote

Expand It's usually not enforced but always in the terms. One example of it being enforced that I can think is the Hagrid & Buckbeak BHZ. For me and a few others anyways, only reported getting 1 despite multiple orders. Similar case for the Yoda Lightsaber. Seems like lately they've been a little more strict on high demand GWP. Quote

Did it not add to your cart? did it not appear on the “item shipped” email? or did they just not put it in the box when they mailed it to you? Also, when did you place your orders? right at midnight or later on during promotion?? Trying to figure out if there is any reason why some ppl only get one GWP while others get one per order...

Expand For the brick heads I placed three orders that should have qualified. In this case they did not show in the order confirmation but were in the cart before I checked out. I always try to order within the first five minutes, so I don't think it's an issue of timing. It's hard because it's not one of those things you can call up customer service about, because technically you're only supposed to get one. I'm not sure how to consistently ensure that you get multiple GWP. Quote

Expand I placed 4 separate orders for the HP BHz GWP early on as well. all four showed GWP at checkout but only three of the orders showed GWP in the confirmation email. When I called CS. they said the company line (1 per household), but also noted that i missed the cut-off amount by a penny on the order that did not get the GWP. So LEGO rounds up apparently for checkout but dings you for a penny later. Quote
