Yikes, just saw that too. I thought it was company-wide, not limited to the actual designers 😬

wow I thought it was all employees, is it designers only ? in that case rather than $1,000 probably $2,500 or more

that's an easy pass for me

Is there really anything worth grabbing? I want the GWP, but it’s hard to pay full retail for most stuff nowadays.

The Office is back in stock/Backorder.....Full price but well worth it....Besides when have you ever found it on sale?

Add a cheap brickhead or small set and you got your GWP

[Captain_Obvious]

Is anyone going for this? If so, what's the reasoning...

Nope, looks like a spare parts/$10 BL order. 
 

Save your points for the monorail.

It looks like someone threw this together 30 minutes before a deadline.

I get almost every insider reward and yet on this one, I completely agree with you however it’s listed already on eBay LOL though none have sold and I do like to get every insider reward so I am conflicted

I used to be a completionist, but LEGO made that impossible to sustain. I’ve become massively more picky. Easy pass for me.

It does lock and has a secret compartment. It reminds me of the Disney Haunted Mansion Secret Chest I got, and still have, on my first trip to Disney World from 1972. Had to look it up and they go for a decent price.

I like that secret compartment. Add a pirate minifig, and this thing goes quickly. At a minimum, dress up the box art -- it's got the graphics of a Mcdonald's polybag GWP, and the yellow box ain't saving this turd.

It's almost $20 in points when they just reduced the ninjago ones to 1800, solid nope

I feel ya. How do we go from the recent Batman reward to this?

The only way this can be saved is with the potential GOAT of 2024: The Vintage Space Monorail reward

Same here - this is one of the few I'll be skipping.  No point to it...

Cerebro no longer adding with X mansion

Book people seem to be very passionate...

Not too exciting, but I guess the ballerina minifig has some appeal.

I was trying to figure out if it comes with both ballerina and nutcracker minifigs.  (I thought both would be the same size).  But most likely the microfigure on Ballerina's hand is the Nutcracker.

[gmpirate]

Great.  Was it hoping it would be a set with a little less testosterone.

Weirdly this GWP is still adding to my cart even though I only have a Llama girl keychain, Santa's post office, and the Batman code redemption - cart total of $103.58. Should i pull the trigger and hope for the best or add some more things?

FWIW, Botanical Garden Entrance is now available through 11/11/2024.  I believe the previous deadline had been the 7th 

[mlc3423]

Rumored Black Friday GWPs plus December GWP as well
