idk, kind of random to me.  I mean, who is the target here?

I guess. But still, its got 500+ pieces and at least the lego house and molding machine are pretty cool subjects. Personally I like the dinos as well.

Dang it, couldn't get the poll to work... I will die and go to Heaven if they redo 1906 Majisto's Tower

Yeah I was just going to say those ornaments are terrible!

[Dr Jedi]

Yipes!  Those are just seasonal sets, correct?  The holiday GWP's have been reported to be a Horse/Cart set and some other set of three ornaments - not these gingerpeople

[Aup27]

These look like Mr. Hankey in disguise. 

[Billy Brick]

Its nice to save some money

[redghostx]

Are you supposed to eat them? Nobody will want to look at them.

Yay LEGO!

First reaction, I thought they wore their white undies on their heads.  

Gingerbreads: college frat party edition 😜

Kinda tempted by this one. I'm not seeing this backpack available anywhere else, and resell value on eBay for new backpacks looks good. The resolution of the photo is crap with no sizing, hmm.

It has to be pretty lightweight and flimsy to fold up like that. $25 in points

Combined post with the what did you do today thread. I was in NYC this past weekend with my GF and still did not make it into the flagship store, look at this line for what, but I was not waiting in it. Anyway, I did go to the Levi’s Time Square store and got this bag for “free” with $125 purchase and it actually has a $129 price tag on it but feels like a cheap $10 plastic bag that nobody wanted or even wanted to carry around for the day. 
 

ETA: could not upload the line video file size was too big but it wrapped around 5th avenue and all the way down the next block easily 100 people in line

I stopped by the store LEGO Store at Rockefeller Center when we were in NYC last.  Is there a store in Times Square that is the flagship store?

The last time I was there, Memorial Day weekend, I went to the wrong one Flatiron and was seriously underwhelmed except they had unlimited free SC Polybags. The RC store is the flagship store AFAIK? I was staying in Times Square but luckily avoided the flash mob that was 2 miles away for a free PS5.

Yep, you were lucky. We stopped in there early, but there was definitely a line later in the day. It's multiple floors and strange to navigate. I think we only left with a couple NYC keychains.

Houses of the World 3 and a Dreamz Polybag available now. 
still no Fantasy Adventure ride 

[stackables]

Buy in seems pretty steep for the HotW 3. Looks like the last one is only around $40. Anyone jumping in on this gwp?

[Captain_Obvious]

I'm wondering if this auto-generated code will work in the USA?

I'm not getting the pop-up code, so I'm hoping another BP'er can get the pop-up and do me a solid and pass me one (you can get numerous codes). I already contacted Stone to see if they'll send me one, but I don't want to wait if someone can help out now. Thanks in advance, DM me here.

In case that Dreamzzz polybag might push anyone to cave on GWPs, I saw that same polybag at Walmart yesterday ($4.97).

Alright, I switched my VPN connection to Germany and got the pop-up with the code. Inserted at checkout, and it applied, but not seeing the gift appear in my cart. I might have to test this one out "for Science"

I guess we need to change the thread title? And they will have a QR code “Brickfolio”

I wonder how this one is going to play out:

• Members can now also earn points by registering previously purchased sets via the unique QR code in the building instructions and cataloguing them on their LEGO® Insiders account.

Will it mean that if I purchase a set from Walmart/Amazon and use the unique QR code inside the box, I'll earn points? If so, I'm guessing it will be 1 point per dollar like Target. 

Does anyone know when they started putting unique QR's in the instructions?

Looks like the fruitcake is getting baked on the 16th.

I thought they did a really good job with releasing the Bricktober's as a reward. Yellow boxes, Minifigures, vehicles, and a multiple reward theme to collect over time --getting them coin vibes..
