LEGO VIP Insiders/GWP Discussion

[BrickLover80]

SaH Europe announced double VIP points starting this Friday. I'm guessing we'll see the same. All promos still available. Let's hope they add some sales to make another shopping trip worth it.

They did increase the discounts on some sets from 20 to 30% off and added some Advents.

Don't sell them...enjoy them! They are deliciously warm and cozy!

Someone should build a blanket fort out of them. With a Fort Legoredo sign.

Still adds for me. They much have made a ton. Last year, they had the blanket for one day and it sold out by 6pm. It started at $50 on Ebay and started falling once the orders shipped. That's why I only have the blanket that came with the Batwing. 

However, if you want one, Santa's Visit is back. Has been going in and out since yesterday morning.

Picks are leaked of the Bionical tribute GWP... won't have to worry about hoarding those for resale... that thing is hideous lol

Happy Holidays everyone!  FYI that Bowser is 250 at Chapters/Indigo, online only.  Cheers and have a Happy New Year!

[Pseudoty]

This is the 1/1 set. The 1/15 GWP rumor $250 buy in is that mini house posted earlier.

Is there any news on the 'pizza truck/van' GWP promo? Or has that been overtaken by this Blacktron GWP?

In my personal opinion, it's been clothes-lined, pile drived, and utterly obliterated by the #2 GOAT GWP, The Blacktron...

(Forestmen still holding the #1 position)

[pharmjod]

Interesting. I  think the blacktron GWP looks like hot garbage. I've seen better designs from 10 year olds. 

And before you say anything, I grew up in the 80s and played with blacktron when I was a kid. Even my nostalgia goggles don't redeem that set

Yes. And the fact that there are stickers instead of printed elements reduces the collectability for me. Plus, Blacktron was after my time

I guess 2/1 or after for the Pizza Delivery set that goes with the Jazz Club, but like the past 2 years you shouldn’t have to buy just the Jazz Club to get it. 
 

I will get a Blacktron or 2 but I am more interested to see what they do with this “Houses of the World” sets that connect to each other. With a $250 buy in and if they are a series they could have some good upside potential.
