Phil B Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Apart from the reward center being a bit goofy the first 5 mins, the rest went really smooth (knock on wood). 12:07am and checked out after claiming the camera code and 3 VIP rewards, plus placing my order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue, but if this one is 20-30% off on BF/CM, I'm buying another one (my local store still has them in stock). Too bad I didn't buy one the first year when they were unexpectedly on sale - felt it was too early and wasn't convinced I needed one yet.

Poncke Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 How can there be no customer service on VIP Weekend?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncke Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Placed an order for 569 euro, got the 1950s tin and Santas Visit, then after placing the order realised I should have split it into two orders and get the free gifts twice. And I hope they ship the items I ordered in time so I can claim the retro camera with the VIP points from that order. Really like that one. Ive also put 150 points towards the Bonzai tree. That set will have immense value as there are will be only two of them. Edited November 20, 2021 by Poncke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a redesign recently of the rewards page with the collapsible and featured sections. I was wondering why I didn't see all 3 of the Disney prints either. I guess the way it works now is that if it is in the "featured" section, you will no longer see it in the category section (art prints) along with the others. You just saved me from having an incomplete collection. I don't see these prints being available for much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are limited to 1,000 and numbered. Looks like the last set went for $225 on eBay. Interest is in Europe, but that's an easy International sale and shipping is not much (sold a few prints overseas already). Thanks for the heads up.

melting Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 So you would think that Lego would let you add multiple prints to one order to maximize shipping. As opposed to people ordering 7 key chains and adding 1 print to each order and having to ship in larger box to accommodate the print.

I see that most of you go for the keychain. Are you selling them to recoup costs or keeping? I buy an xtra accessory for $3.99 plus $4.99 shipping and 7% tax. I'm always surprised that I can get $9 for them on eBay minus $3.50 first class shipping and 12% seller's fee. I end up recouping about $4, so my VIP redemption is a $5 loss. Do you think I can recoup more "on average" if I go with a $5.99 keychain? Edited November 20, 2021 by Captain_Obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I either go with the cheapest available item like this: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/rex-s-plantimal-ambush-30460 Or for better potential growth than a Keychain: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/la-catrina-40492 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I can recoup more "on average" if I go with a $5.99 keychain? I recall that was mentioned as an "upgrade" they are working on. Let's see. As for keychains, there might be winners but on average I break even when I add them to ensure gwp is shipping on backordered items. If you pick the right Brickheadz, you can make a small profit, so that might help you cover shipping on a small order. I also like the blisterpacks (e.g. HP students). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just made 5 orders to send the Fiat prints with Rex's Ambush (threw the other 2 onto other planned orders) , and none of the promo codes applied . Called to fix the issue with customer service and they went to 'In Warehouse' before i got through to them on hold. While waiting for an hour I just made 5 more orders and every promo code worked with out issue. Since I won't be able to cancel the original orders now since LSH is somehow light-speed at shipping this quarter, does anyone know if I will get the shipping charges refunded after I send the returns in for those? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory CS could / would provide you labels for all 5 error orders (this would mean they cover shipping costs). They are usually pretty nice about that stuff so I think you'd be fine. On a separate note, I am curious how well your prints arrive. I've tried the print + polybag trick and all my prints shipped in padded envelopes, completely bend up 😑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By now, the price is already down to $50-60. Wonder where this will settle in. I think Lego lists the set as $28 value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
