Diabolos80 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I think they had the friends freebie still going, and a hero factory one too, but those were only if you purchased a set in those themes. My son was totally psyched to get the hero factory poly. It's a black "brain slug" (his term), so he rebuilt each of his 8 figures with it one by one. Kept him busy all afternoon, which meant daddy was busy with his own Legos :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those freebies, did not appeal to me so, I did not purchase anything in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Absolutely. I am a merchant, and leaving freebies on the table is just plain wasteful in my world. (Edited to add: It would not, however, surprise me much if Lego closed the loophole sometime on this and made the freebies one-per-VIP-account.) I am going to venture and predict that the stores will have them much longer than S @ **** because of all of us and the hype behind the sets. This may be the perfect plan because of that. I expect mine to have them all month from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I placed 4 orders with LEGO Shop at Home in August. The first two on August 4 and 5 and the second two on August 19 and 26. I was just opening boxes and I noticed that I did not receive the free Galaxy Squad polybag with the second 2 orders. Both were well over the requisite amount to get the polybag. So, it looks like either LEGO Shop at Home ran out of the Galaxy Squad polybags or LEGO Shop at Home is limiting the amount of polybags per person. I really really really hope they just ran out. Did anyone get a free polybag toward the end of the month? I have one coming on Tuesday so I will let you know - ordered it on the 21st So they didn't have any kind of freebie the last two weeks of August? Meanies. They did in store because I got a GS polybag when I bought my other 41999. I again just gave it to the kid behind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willy431 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Not that I know of, but stores usually don't run out, unless it is near the end of the month, and the polybag is about to discontinue.Last 2 (jor el and gs mech) sold out in 2 weeks. Trying to order now...even with $100 of star wars...no free trooper..only bus. Must be a tech snafu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have had this happen a bunch of times and usually it correctly gets added later. Hopefully. Lol. I am going to go ahead and make a few more orders anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 per order?...4 orders - 4 VW campers for me. I think he is just pointing out that they have recourse to just combine your orders and only give you one. Has it always said this for these? That would be good to know.

Ed Mack Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 per order?...4 orders - 4 VW campers for me.I had some go through, but others are in customer service.

TheOrcKing Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I just want to point out that the fine print says ONE PER HOUSEHOLD for both the mini camper and minifigure.They really are making sure these get evenly distributed then. Fair enough. Although I would hate to be the parent with three kids and each really wanted that Star Wars minifigure. Talk about parental refereeing. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!
