Might dump some VIP points and grab a space shuttle. Do I still get Rakuten if paying for my order with VIP points?

Yes, but only on the payment portion, I assume, because the points act as a discount.

Of course after I said that I looked at TopCB to check what they did and it gave me the full amount even though I used the $15 in vouchers and another $50 in points, but that may well be updated in the next... 13 weeks yeesh! That's something I love about the Honey exclusive offers, they often payout within like a week.

Looks like the Train GWP has left the station along with the record player and the lifeboat

Someone remind again what's the GWPs for Cyber Monday?....Hopefully something better than that stupid blanket they did a couple years ago

Surprisingly, I was able to finally offload the those blankets for $50 each.

No way... I think I donated all of mine. I assumed they would be worthless. I'll see if I can fish some up in the bottom of my junk bin 😅

Our family loves those blankets, and I did sell all the ones I had eventually, better sold locally.

Not sure if my friends or family liked them as gifts and quite frankly i really don't care....Saved a lot of $$$ giving them as gifts

They were easily shipped in a 16x12x4 box.

I re-used the large polybags that Walmart uses when I shipped these

[Belac]

Sold 2 blankets for about 45 ea ,gave 2 as gifts and my Rat terrier is sharing one with me now. smelled awfully chemical out of the bag but washed up good enough. 

also seeing Tree house sold out at LEGO Shop at Home seems unreal, should have got more but stopped after price increase and first extension. forget which came first.  great set!

[mlc3423]

Damn you guys are making me feel bad....LOL.....Maybe i should've sold em after all and gave everyone gift cards from Mcdonalds or Wendy's

Has anyone been able to determine in the chronometer reward dial part is exclusive? I couldn’t find a match on Bricklink while there were some very close. Thank you

You mean Shackleton’s Chronometer? 🤣

It is made from 2 elements the horrible clock face is definitely not exclusive but the 6x6 Radar Dish appears to be so.

Has anyone had any luck ordering more than one lego order from Barnes with this gingerbread promo going on. I think I remember in the past they auto cancelled my orders when they had the Harry Potter figure promos even though they were the ones adding it to my cart. I guess I could manually remove the promo from my cart.

You can place multiple orders online but more than likely they'll only mail you 1 promo....Isn't like Lego SAH....B&N is limt 2 on some things and limit 5 on others...And yes they will cancel your order/orders

You might trying hitting up your local B&N...(If you have 1)......Last year i got 15-20 of that little santa set because the store ordered too many of them.....The selection of sets and discounts last year were really good compared to this year........Plus last year they did 4X Stamps last year compared to 3X this year....(They still have those damn Hedwig...LOL....Sorry i can't buy anymore)

This year when i was brave enough to finally hit the store the selection was nothing special and they were just about sold out of the promo...Got in over 100 of the promos last year and this year was around 25-50.....Talked to several employees who said they weren't ordering as much stock as in previous years and the company didn't advertise BF much because they figured people would hit up other stores...Another fine example of companies cutting costs and ordering less inventory to prevent from heavy clearance

Future GWP....Not sure what to make of this one

Hmmm...not really liking the sticker that actually says "Corner Kiosk". I mean it could have just said "News" or something.

[eliminator]

Corner Kiosk is a fair GWP...no complaints, but personally I prefer vehicle GWPs (like the taxi, moving truck vintage car, etc) with the modulars.

That said, aren't the January GWPs usually available for any purchase, not specifically linked to the modular building being released?
