Winter village, seasonal sets, and advent calendars - general discussion

[StompingFreak]

They're pretty slick sets, and supplement the Winter Village diplays quite nicely. The two new sets together almost make up its own Winter Village set.

 

Total agreement, With this years winter market, they enhance things even more. Looking forward to trying to get them. Stomping

We have these promos in Canada as well, I believe the same dates. The first one is available on Oct 14. If I remember correctly, our minimum purchase is $99 too.

I plan to grab the Cottage for the first giveaway, and the Market for the second. Merry Christmas to myself...

Dam, USA only?????? Stomping

I do not know if this is right, but I think the promo is world wide. I would call CS and ask them about it.

[DirtyHarry]

When you talk about the 1st set, you probably mean 40082, don't you? Just wondering because order of the pictures on top is the other way around.

 

I hope I can get one of those next week!

Bummer.  I wasn't aware of this.  I just ordered my village last night!

[Alcarin]

Is there a way to check LEGO shop at home in every country they have it for which promos are due to come and when ?

Return it and order again.

I'd be interested in that as well. But we start to get off-topic...

[StompingFreak]

Ok, just a heads up. The order I place last night, included this first set. Plus if I'm lucky the Lego employee minifigure. Lots of people, appear to be getting then(ramdomly) in their orders. Hope this helps. Stomping

I also got the first set in an order I placed yesterday.

 

Still hoping for the store employee minifig.

I got the Xmas Tree Stand and a Jor-El minifig in the shipment I just received at my office.  It seems like they are putting in extras at random?  Not complaining of course!

Weird, It would be nice to have other polly bags included. This is the first iv'e heard of this. Has anyone else had random polly bags included in their orders?? Also whats the deal with the second xmas set? as this one is on offer till the 30th Dec. Stomping

[BearCrash]

I think it's worldwide. I haven't heard that it's US only.

 

I received one today with my last order from LEGO Shop at Home in Belgium.

[cobi]

Return it and order again.

I tried this right after you responded to me, and they said it was to late to cancel.  They said I could return and re-order but I would have to pay the return shipping.  I guess my only option is to drive the two hours to the store and try it there.

I just go my order and received a "Exclusive Shop Minifigure"  Is this what you were talking about?  He looks like an employee with a name tag.

The second Christmas "giveaway" set is a set that Lego is giving away in the US on Nov 29, Nov 30 and Dec 1 for purchases of over $99.

[Noodlenut]

I think that the second set will really be the winner.  The tree stand is nice, but the truck is something we haven't seen before.  It's well designed and compact.  I can see this set being $25 next christmas.

I've never known of the employee minifig being sent to UK buyers, could it be US only?  I've just ordered another Fire Brigade this morning and i wonder what they'll lob in that box.  Hopefully NOT a Galaxy Mech as they are worthless garbage IMHO.  I may have had the Jor-El as the employee minifigs ran out?

 

My plan is to get about 3 sets of Winter promos this year and flog them as pairs next Xmas.

Exactly what I am thinking, with using the points I accumulate this month towards next month's purchases

I was able to get much more out of my holiday promo sets this year than last, so this is probably a good plan.  Pairing them up should do very nicely.  The 2nd one I would have to think is going to be at a premium as it's only available a few days and you have to drop some pretty good coin to get it.

[StompingFreak]

Just got 1st set. my box was mashed. As were sets 79005. Really pissed. Iv'e just order two more 10237, tower LOTR's. Hopefuly get one boxed in good nick, an maybe Lego staff member. But from U-tube, this may be USA only. Stomping

[Guest TabbyBoy]

Hmmm.... LEGO just emailed saying that my FB has just shipped but, the 40082 was missing from the list.  If it's not in the box, the FB goes back. An FB is a good deal for

[c4dreams]

any thoughts on the flippability of the two bonus Xmas sets together vs. separately?

I think it would be better to sell them together. The second sets is available for a shorter amount of time so it would drive up the price.
