macpro76 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I plan to get all UCS sets to the limit, staggering purchase to 1 per order. To get the free Kai dragon as well. Plus it's easier to track and know what (if any) orders get cancelled for any reason. Quote

Expand Don't go overboard or you may end up banned or at least on their radar for potential banning in the future. There will be more double point opportunities later in the year. 1 Quote
Jeff Mack Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I ordered a Sandcrawler, my order from Target the other day was cancelled, so they are definitely out. 2 Quote

I do expect these to see further discounts at retailers as the year goes on. I'm debating now to get a Brick Bank or Batcave. I don't do much investing through S@H. I buy mostly for personal use from them. I might buy some investment sets here and there when they have great promos at Christmas, etc. I rarely buy 5 of anything and I mix up the orders. 1 Quote

Expand Me too, for the most part. I grabbed two of these from S@H. Since I don't spend the time tracking down discounts in an area that has few, this is a decent deal with double VIP. 2 Quote

Muffin Cup Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I ordered a Sancrawler and a Slave I even though they're both out of stock (expected ship date ~ March 20th). Just want to lock in those double VIP points. I look forward to getting a Kai Dragon shaped dent in each of the boxes. Edited March 7, 2016 by Muffin Cup 3 Quote
CoastaLego Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Stupid question but double vip points is in Lego Stores as well right? Or just online? Thinking of stopping by the store today Quote

Expand If you order backordered products, they'll go ahead and ship the freebie first, sets later. It works out well. 1 Quote

You can call them, verify the orders, and all will be well or 2) The BANHAMMER strikes again. 5 Quote

It works out well. Expand LEGO Shop at Home stopped doing this several promotions ago, a workaround is to order a small item or even pick a brick to force the freebie shipment in case the backordered product is cancelled. YMMV but this was confirmed by several other members in 2016. Edited March 7, 2016 by legogregors 1 Quote

Expand If you or anyone else gets the promo shipped immediately this month with a back ordered single item from LEGO Shop at Home, please post. This would be great news as it did work out very well in the past. If it is something I really want, I will be adding a filler item just in case. Quote
