pfft, $99.99 GWPs are so 2019...

Yep, the best one so far is a $120 GWP anyway

Interesting. So $99.99 is good but $99.98 you are in danger zone

take home lesson...throw in a damn keychain

Might grab another Tantive IV. Should be an easy quick flip this holiday season. It might go 20% off for BF, or maybe not? ...these are strange times.

Ninjago City was 30% last year too.

Apocalypseburg and Y-Wing were VIP weekend discounts in the US

Ninjago City and the Disney Train were part of the BF weekend discounts in the US

This according to the purchase dates on my inventory spreadsheet

i’m hoping 30% off

I asked my store tonight what they were doing for BF given tighter restrictions and they still plan on being open from 6 AM to 10 PM. They've arranged to have the line start at the empty anchor store down and around the corner and they'll radio to send in more customers. I'm spending Thanksgiving with family that wouldn't be happy with me standing in an indoor line, so I think I'll be relegated to online only. Happy hunting fellow area brickpickers!

I'm not sure we're getting any deals for the VIP weekend, I would of thought it would of been leaked by now if there were any. Unless Lego have been super secretive about it. 

Like you say New Zealand will show us if any pop up, think it's around 10.30 night there now so not long.

Well, just checked. I see no 30% off deals. Both the brick and CD I can confirm

Yeah would not expect anything beyond promos and double points for this weekend. Good way for LEGO to sell some additional sets prior to discounting them next week.

The metadata on the offers page also includes the following:
“Discover LEGO toy deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday with up to 20% off selected LEGO sets! Starts on Friday, November 27th, 2020! ”

 

stonewars comment. looks like 20% only this year if discounts are standard across regions

Yes, but this is the usual right?  I think in addition they have a couple “door busters” for 30% off each day??? 

(let me hope... i want that damn disney train for 30% off)

Here in North America it’s been in stock all year online and collecting dust on store shelves

It's defiantly a possibility then, it does seem way overpriced imo and is due a good discount.

I've just noticed something that can't be good for the long term value of the charles dickens set.

You can now buy the last years promo microscale gingerbread house on the lego site for £17.99. Is this a new thing lego is doing? I don't remember seeing the previous years christmas promo available for sale the following year. The tree will probably follow.

This is another slight blow for re sellers correct.

The snowglobe (40223) was on sale online for $9.99 in the U.S. (limit 5) the year after it was a GWP.

Looks like our UK friends are getting some interesting deals.  I still haven't seen anything for USA though.
