exciter1 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 At some point do you think Lego S&H will start to exclude "Exclusive" & "Hard to Find" Lego Store items from double-VIP eligibility? If they are cracking down on coupons, why not? Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 At some point do you think Lego S&**** will start to exclude "Exclusive" & "Hard to Find" Lego Store items from double-VIP eligibility? If they are cracking down on coupons, why not? I don't know - I feel like this is when most are bought and it would just hurt their own sales. Coupons probably already did some. Quote
h311m4n Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 So what's every body getting? Double VIP points sure make it like a good time to buy larger sets. I'm thinking of one more SSD maybe...can't really get them any cheaper than with double points any longer, at least over here... Quote

I don't think you will see that set cheaper than that again, unless Amazon or Target will discount them heavy near EOL..and that is a crapshoot. Plus you get the Clone Trooper minifigure as well.

Great minds think alike ;) Quote
h311m4n Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 By the way, people are talking about a season set coming out between the 14th-30th of October for every set over 99$, does this mean that from the 14th we get that small set + double VIP points? In which case I don't get the point of buying anything before the 14th?... Quote

In which case I don't get the point of buying anything before the 14th?... Even better than that. if you spend $50 of that $100 on Star Wars you'll get a clone trooper on top of all that. I'll have to content myself to canvass other usual suspects until then. Quote
Alfiepops Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Where did you read this? This is Lego again, giving us the finger. I feel that i've been given so many fingers lately that I feel i'm being fisted. Owch . Quote
seapotato Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I'm trying to decide if buying another Star Wars themed set is worth it for the clone trooper. I still have one to sell. Quote
M4x18 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I feel that i've been given so many fingers lately that I feel i'm being fisted. Owch . Well, I called yesterday as I wanted to check if it was possible for me to obtain a Mini Camper and told the guy that I'd place my October order on the second half of the month as I had read somewhere (wonder where?) that there could be a giveaway with purchases made then. He couldn't confirm it or deny it, as Lego policies dictate, but he did say that I am well informed and a true fanatic. So I think that maybe, just maybe, we could get the winter themed sets over here as well Quote

This would give me some hope if true as the 2 x VIP deal at this stage isn't appealing. Quote

With the way things are going in Spain I think we are among the last places where TLG would think about opening a store. Quote
ausleigh Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I'll certainly be checking in on October 14 to see if it shows up at LEGO Shop at Home Australia store. The only reason I have opted for a double points order for now is the hope of getting the store employee giveaway. Will be very interested to see if it is included in Australian orders. Quote

CNH1974 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I have just realised that - for once - the UK and possibly Europe are better off on this deal. From the 14th we only have to spend 1 Quote
ausleigh Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I never saw anything about that giveaway, where did you read it? Was in a thread here at Brickpicker. Cannot recall which one, just that it was appearing in orders that were being delivered from LEGO Shop at Home. Quote

Cannot recall which one, just that it was appearing in orders that were being delivered from LEGO Shop at Home. Heartbroken... Maybe I'll try my luck as I want the Winter Market and the Cottage, I could order one now, see if the employee comes, and order the second one after the 15th to get other exclusive. Both would qualify for double VIP Quote

ausleigh Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I die a little inside everytime I buy a Lego BARGAIN deal of Amazon and the like. Even with a massive 33% off I know i'm still paying more than full US mrrp. When the US have their discounts, that really kills me. LOL I reckon most of us down in Aus feel the same, too. I had to stop reading the 50% off Kmart thread as that was causing me physical pain 1 Quote

LOL It's all relative as UK and EU buyers are prepared to spend more than Americans. My threshold is 33% off if I like the set. I leave Chima alone at ANY price! Quote
ausleigh Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Imagine the amount of Lego you could have if you could get it at US prices. Imagine the size of the house I would need!! Quote
Alfiepops Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Imagine the size of the house I would need!!Of course you could build a 5000 sq ft Lego house to fit all your extra Lego sets. You'd still save money if you got them at US prices. Quote
