rumor says they have locked down gwp to 1 set per account not sure I believe it

I placed two orders to use the two Rewards codes for poster and coin. The first order got all 3 promos, the second order qualified for all the promos (>$160) and they were shown at checkout, but when the order confirmed the email and Order Status don't show the promos. The Offer page says one per household (I noticed later). I'm not happy they show in the cart and it influenced my purchase decision, then they are taken away.

I'd cancel.  Wonder if they will enforce in stores tomorrow.  I have "one" store in my area that started enforcing this year.  They look up your account every time you purchase to see if you received a GWP or not.

Somehow 12:06am is considered April 30th looking at the order status. Email incoming...

Edit: It says May 1 on the individual order page so par for the course with Lego IT.

I only did 2 orders and got all 3 GWPs on both. The $30 Ghost discount takes you below the $160 threshold for the Troop Transporter and keeps you from redeeming the coin or poster as well.  Well played Lego.

I am not using the codes for Chewy or Diorama if anyone wants them.

[exciter1]

RetailMeN0t 5% was the best cash back that I found for this round.

[starwarsxpress]

Poster sold out I got the coin will go to eBay or skip they just always come beat up so who knows.  Thought I would have had time for points to post and get this weekend I guess not lol

Sorry to hear that... Not sure whether this rule only applies in US... Here in Europe this 1 GWP per household rule was never enforced.

4 troop carriers just were sent to me - got official email confirmation. I am going to order probably something else just to get 5th. This is probably the best time(best value for price) in year to buy all lego star wars sets scheduled to retire in 2024

I would give them a call or check your order status if you didn’t get gwps on an order. My cart glitched on my first order last night and dumped all the gwps. I emailed them, then tried calling, after waiting 20 minutes I saw that they made a new order for me with all the gwps. Hope everyone gets their battle droids!

same here

Just left the local store. They were not busy at all today. They had plenty of sets and GWPs. They said that they were told that any bags that were left over from the 4th that they could give to any customer that made purchases this week. So we shall see.

I'm a noob when it comes to backordered items and GWP's.  If I order the Cantina, which is on backorder, and add a CMF; will the CMF and GWP's ship before the Cantina?  And for those who have built the Cantina, is it worth it?

Yes, but just to be on the safe side with the GWPs add a SW Key Chain or SW BHZ. 
 

I will see if I can find my Cantina review I built it when it first came out so don’t recall all of the details but it is the best Cantina by far with awesome exclusive minifigures. It is hard to display as the optimal presentation is fully open with the bar counter sticking out and then you have all of the side builds.

Yes and absolutely, I recommend building the cantina while watching New Hope and drinking a galactic cocktail. It’s an amazing build with lots of great figures and you can add on other tantooine sets like Luke’s landspeeder, and obi wans hut. Only drawback is the wide footprint takes up a lot of space and of course the price.

@Pseudoty I have one Cantina sealed for now would really like another but wish the 60 days would go to 90 days and they would stick with it rather than shipping in a couple of weeks

The 4x points helps with all the ninjago and other rewards

On the other hand, I've got one, placed several orders last night with gwp's and thinking I would rather spend my money on this

https://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Darth_Maul_Special_Edition_Legacy_Lightsaber_Coming_Soon_191655.asp

I'd go ahead and get it any ways but I really want the nasa Artemis and in June I want to get the new lord of the rings set that is lots of money and coming out June 1st I think with its own free gwp that I think will be sold out quickly and highly sought after

I just can't justify giving up the Legacy Saber with the custom box and the box has lights and sound or the LOTR in order to get a second copy of the Cantina, 4x points and 3 more of the gwp I have several of coming

wish I could come up with a reason though : )

Wife gave the green light.  The Cantina would have been a "day one" purchase but I actually built a decent little MOC a few years back. Of course I've wanted the real deal since hearing about it retiring this year.  I'll probably convert the existing MOC into another Mos Eisley building.  With the system build Falcon coming maybe I'll construct a hangar bay.

I didn’t order any Cantina today it is still hard for me to buy these Price increase sets at full MSRP even with the points and GWP when you could have easily just bought it outright for $315. 
 

I am going to wait on the reviews on the Artemis as it looks like more tower less rocket and the build might be tedious if not just repetitive. 
 

The amount of expensive sets still to come is once again ridiculous.  The LOTR GWP if exclusive to the set should help offset the price. Don't forget Jabba’s Sail Barge will most like be a must have, X Mansion, Airjitsu remake on steroids, Notre Dame, and many more. 
 

Maybe we will get lucky and they will do 30% off on the Cantina limit 5 on CM like they did with the UCS Gunship.
