ravenb99 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 22 minutes ago, Bold-Arrow said: The main issue now with freebies is the lift of the discount ban on exclusives. Those freebies were nice to offset the cost of them big boys sets but now I'm not so sure . hopefully some nice discounts on ur regular sets to go along with the offer . yeah especially when sets like SC which are supposedly on way out sit there $63 off. Definitely takes away the freebie benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snowglobe is listed on the November Store Calendar as a "Brick Friday" offer. The calendar also shows November 19-20 as Double VIP points and early access to Brick Friday offers for VIPs. So, you are correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be buying all my RO sets on the 19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jedi Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I've been holding off on the Holiday Train, Caterham and Yellow Submarine in anticipation of this weekend - so at least three Snow Globes for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Brickset make quite an important point for resellers (taking into account recent events e.g Darth Revin). There is no year marked on the box so it could come back at some stage. http://brickset.com/article/24655 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfcommando14 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Yeah, I definitely made note of that as well. I'm pretty sure CSG and Gingy would also like to remind people not to be too greedy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value of the first issue drops this way or that - year printed on front or not. Yet they havent done remakes there and I think they wont start it, there are soooo many ideas for small xmas sets, it's like the last resort for TLG's formerly well-known innovative spirit...

Val-E Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 I think it means if they have excess unsold stock they can put it out again like with Revan and not be screwed by an old box. That fits in more with the times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just producing less doesn't seem to be an option anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_rpg Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Placed two separate orders for a T1 and got two snowglobes today Shouldn't be too hard to break even on the T1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Received 1 Snowglobe today and have another one incoming tomorrow. The going rate on Marktplaats seems to be 25 Euro as well. That's cash in hand and no costs subtracted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
