Seems the first peek of this years free holiday set it out...

I like it!

Triple VIP points were BEFORE Black Friday.  People procrastinated and said they would wait for the super duper Black Friday deals and they never arrived.

 

Yup. Luckily I ordered a SSD on triple VIP.

Fantistic! I have held off on the Tumbler because I knew that Double VIP was coming, but that little promo set is just amazing. Will go perfectly with Santa`s Workshop! I can already hear the Christmas bells jingling! 

It's also 1 of 2. I'm sure the 2 of 2 will be out in Nov. hopefully it has more reindeer as Sana's workshop is missing a few, mainly Rudolph.

Christmas bells Jingling and ebay app cha-chinging. Seeing the X-mas lego giveaways for the first time kind of marks a starting point into the holiday sales period in my mind and reminds us how close we are.

The set designer said they couldn't officially do Rudolph because of copyright reasons, but did say there will be an extra trans-red brick in the set

It`s the season where you could sell Candy Canes back to the Candy Cane factory if you do it right! 

Time to start saving up some $$$.

Time to sell something. Anything.

And I still don't have a clue what the September EU promos going to be, if there will be any at all.

Spotted the little seasonal vampire-and-coffin set (850936) in store yesterday. That one's a cutie!

I'm not a fan of the cardboard arch though. I mean it kinda makes sense with the birthday and wedding ones (cake toppers), but not so much this one. Thoughts?

I'm sure it's to keep the cost down, but I'd rather have a brick archway to build.

Haunted House topper ?

 

I prefer the bat (40090), most likely because it looks like a Pokemon

Thanks for posting.

The elves trumps the spaceman.

How fast do promos run out usually? Do I need to buy at midnight October 1st? Worried about everything limited after barely getting research institute.

Usually promos will last the duration of the scheduled availability, but more sought after promos like this one, or maybe the Classic Spaceman could run out earlier. Order in the first week and you should be fine. I have sincere doubts you'll need to stay up until midnight to get it.

Can you double dip with gift cards to get promos? Example: September: Buy 100$ gift card get promo. October: Use 100$ gift card get promo?

You do not gain VIP points with the purchase of a GC, and a GC cannot be used to get promos. The GC must be redeemed to redeem either VIP points or promos. 

and for europeans?

I think we are getting the same offers, 2x points + christmas set

So would you guys bet on early October being the best time this calendar year to buy any exclusives from Shop @ Home? With 10% back in VIP plus a good polybag, you're looking at basically 10% + $15-20 (??) off any $99+ purchase. Based on last year, I don't anticipate Black Friday being better for modulars, etc.

Outside of a T1 polybag showing up all of a sudden, yes, it's about a good as it will get for exclusives/hard to finds.  On a $100 purchase, you're figuring in somewhere about 25% off your purchase.  A bit less as your purchase price goes up.

The Christmas set is lovely, but in our PC world won't these free poly bags be deemed highly offensive? Where is the Lego Menorah, star for Tet, or cornucopia for Kwanzaa?

I love the Christmas sets.  No controversy to me.

 

 

Christmas, Baseball, Apple Pie, Chevrolet and Christmas Lego's (from Denmark).

 

Can't have it any better.

the picture in the OP says the holiday promo is all month, is there a second secret one?
