MartinP Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 any idea when triple VIPs kick in? Last year it was on Black Friday Wasn't it the weekend before Black Friday? I remember buying a couple of different things on Black Friday and I didn't get Triple VIP points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold-Arrow Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Martin is right, Nov 23rd was 3x pt (BF was 29th) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboycarney Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 What does GE stock look like in US lego stores. I had planned to hit the one at Fashion Mall in Vegas to use my VIP points to grab one since US/CAN VIP points are equivalent... Think there is a chance of any being there in second week of July?

Ed Mack Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Martin is right, Nov 23rd was 3x pt (BF was 29th) Yeah...Many people blew off the Triple points to wait for Black Friday sales. Tell me how that turned out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah...Many people blew off the Triple points to wait for Black Friday sales. Tell me how that turned out... Triple VIP points was much better than the Black Friday sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bricker123 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi Ed just wondering your site would be benefit from anything we eventually buy, not limited to Lego, if we buy through any of your affiliated links right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah...Many people blew off the Triple points to wait for Black Friday sales. Tell me how that turned out... Triple VIP points was much better than the Black Friday sales. Are we sure? I bought my last Fire Brigade on 11/30/13 and also received the $10 promotional gift card and Holiday Set 2/2 as well, on top of my 1 x VIP points.

The promotions for Black Friday were different for online and in-store. Also, I can remember some members reporting that they received 3X VIP points and getting the Holiday Set 2/2.

weakside Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 What does GE stock look like in US lego stores. I had planned to hit the one at Fashion Mall in Vegas to use my VIP points to grab one since US/CAN VIP points are equivalent... Think there is a chance of any being there in second week of July? I'm in Canada too...somehow I don't think it'll be realistic to find GE's in Lego Stores a couple of week from now. With Sold Out status, I'm sure collectors/investors etc are going to check out their local stores sooner than later for inventory. But who knows, some stores might have stock left. TRU.ca last I checked still had stock so could be your 'last resort'. Sucks no vip pts/promo now but if you predict GE will be like FB at $350ish after 1/2yr of retirement, than $199CAN retail doesn't look that bad. Pretty soon, $200-$225 will seem like a bargain.

fatboycarney Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Was thinking the same thing weakside. Have a 20 off ebay coupon that expires today so could pull the trigger through TRU ebay. Guess my VIP pts will go elsewhere when in Vegas Sent from my Unknown using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Are these now a must buy at lego stores? What do you guys think? Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Are these now a must buy at lego stores? What do you guys think? Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker I think so...if you can find it buy it. When it's officially retired, you don't want to think back and say you could of bought more at retail price. Kinda like what I felt when I missed out on the FB.

cernak Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 There were three two left on the shelf this morning at the store in Pleasanton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No More Monkeys Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Haha. If it follows FB then we will see $250 quickly. FB getting to sold out was too close to Christmas. GE has 4 month to go. And it is a corner unit.... So, hopefully, it gets to $300 by November... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veegs Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm officially in a panic. I feel a sudden urge to visit the Detroit Lego store tomorrow and buy what they have. Unless LegoDog (or another Det/MI BPer) already has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless LegoDog (or another Det/MI BPer) already has? When I was there last month they didn't have any GEs and said they weren't getting any more. But you know how that goes. I would call and check before you drive over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call and check before you drive over. Thanks for the heads up - TRU Canada has a limit of one per customer at the moment. Since the chances of getting one at a B&M looks slim, I'm ordering now rather than later. This will go OOS as fast as the SSD at TRU.CA once Canadian BPers get home from work and read this thread. Btw the one I ordered from S&**** earlier in this thread (when it listed the expected ship date of June 26, before going to in 30 days then sold out) has been shipped one day early.
