Should've been Number 2.

I had 97 points before the change. Points seemed to have carried over correctly as I had 642 points after the new site went live. Bought a Director Krennic keychain in store for $1.24 which gave me +8 points so I could use a $5 reward for my HD purchase. Checked back in last week and suddenly I have 2,462 points.... Not sure where those extra points came from (definitely not showing in the transaction history) but got myself a few PF train motors to make my total over 2,600 (a $20 reward). Thanks LEGO!

What I do see happening is that the HP advent calendar will be sold out by end October. I am definitely buying my copy at (close to) RRP in early September when these come on the shelf at major retailers. Hopefully WM or Target has them at 20% off - if not, I will use my BN membership to get at least 10% off my copy.

Line of Credit

Hmm ... my experience is that the notification on adding items to your cart expires, but when you place an order it will get cancelled several hours later with the following message (E6). Reading it back I do see that they say that limits are reviewed and changed regularly, so my earlier statement about it being "for LIFE" is indeed not correct: Dear xxxxx, We’re really sorry, but your recent LEGO® Shop order Txxxxxxxx has been cancelled because it went above our purchase limits for the following items: 40170 LEGO® City Build My City Acc.., 40307 Castle Interior Kit We sometimes put limits on popular sets so as many LEGO fans as possible can get their hands on them. Although you won’t be able to buy those sets right now, we regularly change and remove purchase limits, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on our website over the next few months. If there were other items in your order these will also have been cancelled, but you can reorder these through LEGO Shop at any time. Kind regards, LEGO® Customer Service P.S. Please don’t reply to this email because your message won’t be accepted by our system. EDIT: BTW ... this was in April, and several months after my first batch of Castle Accessory Sets for $2.49, so to my original point - these have been on sale for 75% off for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time (since the beginning of 2019).

Am I the only one who thinks #4 looks like a Chima character?

I’ll start posting some photo essays/stories later this week, with the usual BPer spin.

Figures are pretty meh, but the accessories are excellent this series.

My kids were in the building mood over the weekend.

This is now also Chocolate Ice Cream and a great addition to the "4 stacked Snowballs" part that is used a lot. Thats a good piece. Also, the "Johnny Thunder" look alike would be cool if it a taste of whats to come. A new adventure themed set would be a good change of pace.

I think most of the Harry Potter protests have disappeared. There are still people who are opposed to it, but the theme is about as main stream as you can get now.

Probably the best advent calendar yet

Fry's has some sets that are on discount. Local store pickup. 50% off using code 2247425

No idea who made this... just came across my facebook feed.
