LEGO Oleg Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Hello investors! On 15th of March free shipping promo ends....25th will be double VIP points (no free shipping) @shop.lego.com What will your choose? Will stay or go? :-) Quote
comicblast Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I would go for x2 VIP. If you order enough, you get more VIP rewards than it costs to ship. Then again, you have to order alot in order for that to work out. Just an FYI: On LEGO Shop at Home, the Rancor Pit, you get an extra 50 VIP points if you buy it March 1-24. also works for: 76005 Spider-Man Quote

TheOrcKing Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 That is a double edged sword, isn't it? Either you order the one way and not pay shipping, saving you money for that purchase. Or you earn points that you can use later on to save money with. Hmm, tough call. Quote
gte206w Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I will be waiting for double points, since I live within walking distance of a Lego store <3 Quote
exciter1 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I assumed the double VIP also worked at a Lego Store, is that not the case? I have $50 in Lego Store coupons I was going to stack during the double VIP sale. Quote
Ed Mack Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Amazon is my choice. Free shipping should be a given and double VIP points is OK, but still doesn't get prices down to Amazons in most cases. Quote
Grolim Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Amazon is my choice. Mine too. Lego shop really doesn't stack up for international buyers. Quote
LEGO Oleg Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Amazon is my choice. I agreed but 10232 Palace Cinema not yet @Amazon? thanks anyway...:-) Quote
Ed Mack Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I agreed but 10232 Palace Cinema not yet @Amazon? thanks anyway...:-)Be patient and you'll get it for $120. Quote
LEGO Oleg Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 I agreed but 10232 Palace Cinema not yet @Amazon? thanks anyway...:-)Be patient and you'll get it for $120. My clients from other side of the World need it now....ASAP.....:-) KEEP CALM AND GET CHEAP LEGO! LOL Quote
redeemed763 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Amazon is my choice. Free shipping should be a given and double VIP points is OK, but still doesn't get prices down to Amazons in most cases. There's still quite a few sets that aren't on Amazon, Emma's Horse trailer and summer riding camp are both pretty pricey on there, as well as the orc forge, barrel escape, Unimog, 4x4 crawler, horizon express and I am sure there are countless others. The TRU BOGO excluded some of these sets, plus lets not forget that the Lego stores have...da da da....the brick wall! It may not be as affordable, but it sure seems more fun to me to walk into the Lego store, peruse the inventory, pick out my selection and make my purchase amidst the magic and imagination in the air. BTW, those poor souls who have amazon business presence in their state have much less incentive to use them. I plan on at least making a trip to my local store when I pass through. Quote
blueremains Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 The last time I went to the Lego store, one of the salespeople told me that if they don't have an item in-stock at the store, but have it available online, that they could put the order in through your VIP online account and have it shipped to your home with the shipping charge waived. I'm waiting to try this later this month. Has anyone else had experience with this? I live in a state where Amazon charges tax so I end up buying as much as I can at Target with the Red card or at the Lego store with promos. Quote
sadowsk1 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I would go with free shipping becaus you still get VIP points. For every 100 ordered during double VIP points you get an extra five. On a hundred dollar order would shipping be more than five dollars? Probably. Now if you live close to a lego store then there is no question, double VIP points is what to wait for. It's hard to find exclusives purely through lego.com anymore so like Ed said, if you can resist the urge wait for amazon. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I'll personally be waiting for the May the Fourth(Force) be with you event. 99% sure free shipping and exclusive figures you can flip for good money to absorb a lot of the cost. Quote
kerrmando Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I'd go with double VIP points considering I live relatively close to two stores. Quote

Most will see Amazon at some point...for example...The Haunted House. I don't have a LEGO store to walk into and many others are in the same boat as me. 98% of your LEGO needs can be met on Amazon.

redeemed763 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Yeah, if you are just doing shop at home, I say why bother, the lego store is a pretty fun experience when you can have one nearby. Quote
Ed Mack Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Yeah, if you are just doing shop at home, I say why bother, the lego store is a pretty fun experience when you can have one nearby.I really wish I had one. Nearest one is in the King of Prussia mall, an hour+ away. Quote
