That's they've already been availabe in China That's $50 in VIP points. Or, $1,000 in purchases at MSRP at Lego to earn that many points. I'm hoping that it's a currency conversion issue and it drops a decimal point for North America.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Obvious Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 @Pseudoty How complete do you think these completionists really are? These are nice graphics/prints, but I need all the points I can get if the Ninjago gifts turn out to be reward redemptions. https://www.lego.com/en-us/insiders/rewards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know others have done well with the numbered print sets and IIRC the last print I got and sold was the UCS Landspeeder for well over $50. I would save your points for that SPECIAL SW 25th anniversary set that might come out this fall Most of them don't even know Lego dot com exists and especially not "Insiders". Unless these somehow start to trend on social media I do not see any demand for them. When people post pictures of the Flower Pot GWP a lot of people are not aware of it and that it is even Lego. Not sure what is happening with the Ninjago City GWP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so unless they un-gate it from Ninjago purchases. Hmm, but people buying a UCS set to get a Ninjago GWP doesn’t make sense either. It does for a more generalized GWP like the Houses. Or, I’d have to buy the entire current Ninjago theme to get all 4 if it was gated. Remember, product pages on the main site related to point redemption gifts, still say “GWP” even though it’s not a GWP in the traditional sense—hence the confusion that this may be a traditional GWP. I think it’s points (lots of Ninjago point rewards already in there), but could also be an Unlock: Buy X of Ninjago, “Unlock the Ability to Redeem” the City in Insiders with X points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend this book, “Why People Buy”. It’s helped me immensely in my career. I believe many of the truths could apply when choosing what to buy and resell. In no way is this an endorsement of the LEGO Botanical book though—however, the main theme of the book I’m recommending is, “feelings are where selling takes place”. And this botanical theme has the feels.. https://www.amazon.com/Why-People-Buy-Features-Benefits/dp/0692904530?nodl=1&dplnkId=a6621ad2-d53b-4d38-b843-3ba3c78f8b8b Edited February 5 by Captain_Obvious 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the dust settles, are we thinking this is a Tier 1 GWP ($60+) or a Tier 2 ($40)? Given the mesmerizing yellow translucent glass, I've lost all ability to call this one correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the mesmerizing yellow translucent glass, I've lost all ability to call this one correctly. I think some of us overestimate the nostalgia factor. If it was full size with minifigures not micro builds with micro figs and all printed elements not stickers I would say slam dunk Tier 1. So far none of these labeled “Limited Edition” sets have been that limited at all. Look at the insiders page they even brought back the previously “Sold Out” Birthday Diorama now with a limit of 6 and World of Wonders continues to languish with a limit of 5. So based on availability, I am predicting endless, the high buy in, and that we will probably see it again, Tier 2 but I think the White Space man will hold 2/3 of that value on part out especially if we get a red one next year.

I just noticed that the Pop-Up Post Cards have been removed from the Center. I picked up the postcard set that contained the Corner Garage, Downtown Diner, and Bookshop. Didn't open it, but could tell from the outside that these were top-notch quality. Found a video on YouTube that confirmed the quality. Thinking it was a mistake that they took them down, but maybe not, and I'll get a chance to cash out on the FOMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofball814 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) This has maybe been asked before, so I apologize if it's a repeat. Does ordering via Bricks & Pieces / Pick a Brick (from lego. com) qualify for GWP? Does Lego. com post date? (i.e., I just placed a $1200 Pick a Brick order yesterday, can I call and beg for a Space Babies set, even though it didn't start until tomorrow) Edited February 15 by Goofball814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once, as a child, we went to Walmart in the morning to make a return, but the clerk refused. My dad calmly said, "No worries." Confused, I asked him why he didn't argue. He just said, "You'll see." Later that day, we returned at 6 pm and encountered a different clerk who processed our return without asking questions. Never take no for an answer, but do it politely, then wait for the next employee shift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it in my cart last night, but wasn't super happy with my choices for the $200 threshold. Found a better combo this morning, but then it poofed as I went to check out. I can wait another day and hope it comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
