Pirate Adventure Ride for 2400 points, Eiffel Tower postcards and stickers for 600 points, and another retro Lego keychain for 950 points.

It's only an incremental increase of $29. If you're fast, might get that on Ebay. Last year, I flipped that blanket for $55.

that’s a good point and I collect gwp’s lego sets coins and more love them even more than a lot of the sets that I own

I buy some that are not offered in the us from ebay

I can sincerely say I have no interest in collecting a bag

Do $$ off redemptions bring your purchase under GWP thresholds? Like if you bought a $300 set but redeemed 13,000 points for $100 off would that put it below the $250 threshold?

No, it is calculated against the product price to qualify.

However the “buy a discount for 100 pts” this weekend did reduce the product total. I was going to get the Camaro but the discount knocked out the GWP so I decided to pass.

Ordered the loop coaster, just got shipping confirmation & there are two tracking numbers. I assume shipping the gwp's separately. Very nice. 

I'm pretty happy with this years offerings. $80 off a large set I wanted & can get another $40 or so off flipping the promos.

So the Black Friday deals have been revealed worldwide now. All of the above was true except the drawstring bag is Cyber Monday only with $200 purchase. Easy pass on that one. I have tons of those drawstring bags I’ve gotten from businesses for free.

BF deal doesn't have 2x VIP and more than likely no 10% Rakuten.....Unless we get a 15% Rakuten or something to sweeten the pot it'll be a pass for me other than redeeming VIP rewards

Ok Lego which sets are on discount for Black friday? I don't see a list so far.

Would be nice to finally get some actual discounts on Lego sets instead of gwp and vip points.

Agreed. I’m feeling the last couple of years has been all deals the month or so leading up to Black Friday. After that…late shoppers will get the MSRP tax.

I feel like either LEGO is doing better than expected with the price changes or they are being extremely stubborn. I think this game of chicken might continue.

hope something more than key chains

[severalads]

Looking at Lego SAH Australia (BF is already on there) there are very few sets on sale. A lot of Brickheadz, some Monkey Kid sets, F-150 raptor, some new star wars sets. Nothing too exciting.

Hopefully it won't be the same for other regions, but from past 2 years it's been disappointing.

The list in Germany has leaked. Nothing interesting. Very disappointing

They must have terribly overproduced the Ice Festival after everyone was buying up the Spring Lantern Festival last year.

Not sure there is anything to redeem my dragon ride 😞

the 2 lunar and easter rabbits were the stock originally intended for Russia.  So even more than normal in US market now.

Again, Baron Von Raschke has a grip on the US fans.
