nolanfan34 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Those are a must for anyone with the winter Creator sets on display. Also, $100 for a Christmas tree sounds about right these days, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4x18 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I just need some clarification on these, I need to review the play as in an NFL game. Regarding the two limited edition Christmas sets, and assuming that they'll be available in EU as well, the first one - cabin - will be available for orders placed between 14/10 and 31/10. The other set - truck - will be shipped as a part of this order or you'll have to place a second order? I'm thinking the latter regarding the truck. Wifey and I have already agreed that our October order will consist of the two Winter themed sets and the two new Christmas tree ornaments. I'll try to sneak a Creator house to build as withdrawal symptoms have been wandering around these last few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawascrump Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hey folks! If you are considering buying some big Lego Store exclusives like Tower of Orthanc or Haunted House, October is the month to do it. If you combine with a cashback website like I do in the UK, that's equivalent to 15% off. Not bad! I have had a look and I'm struggling to find any websites that offer cashback from LEGO Shop at Home UK , who do you use? Thank you!

Alfiepops Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I use **********.co.uk. You need to join up and then go to their site and type in Lego and they bring you to that site and from there, any purchases you make with get you a percentage cashback which you can claim using a preferred method i.e your bank acc, Amazon, Tesco clubcard and maybe one or two more. You can also try Quidco and see who gives the higher cashback amount for Lego. Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawascrump Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks Alfiepops! It seems Quidco offer 4% and ********** offer 5.25% on LEGO Shop at Home purchases. However some of the user reviews state TCB can dig their heels in when it comes to actually getting the cash back. I think I will try Quidco as they appear to be affiliated with Lego- when you click through Quidco you get a nice welcome message: "WELCOME QUIDCO SHOPPERS!

@rtisan Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Was planning on placing a bunch of orders this month, but forgot about VIP points. 10% sound very nice compared to MSRP. That Holiday Set has to be worth more then the Camper as well. If not, then on par with it. Looks like I`m waiting to make my larger purchases.

TheDarkness Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If you don't have an official Lego Brand Store in your country, then you miss out on the winter set give away Very disappointing Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Having just picked up the Winter Village sets, not being able to add these to it is disappointing. At least we get the Star Wars Planets series 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 At least we get the Star Wars Planets series 4 They can keep them Though I do believe we may be able to actually buy the winter sets..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausleigh Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I do admit to having bought series 4, only cos I have series 1 - 3. Will have to look into being able to buy the winters sets...thanks for the heads up. Failing that will get a buddy in the US to see if he can help me out.

M4x18 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 All good, I feel the same. Was holding off purchases hoping to get the set I'm still holding for double VIP points. Those winter sets can't come soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I guess I am looking at the polybag value. Will a second lot of VIP points outweigh the VW for example? I am guessing we won't get a polybag bonus at all next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I normally only buy the bigger/exclusive sets during 2xVIP as this more than outweighs the free polybag and often beats Amazon prices I've already put a grand or so aside for the following next month: 2x 10228 (HH - Need I comment?) 5x 10230 (MM - I have a very strong gut feeling about these) 2x 10188 (DS - My very first one, if you can't beat 'em join 'em) This will be a single order if 2xVIP only or split into weekly orders if free polybag included.

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Do they normally have a free poly with double VIP month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowillsw Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 All I know is it's going to be de'javu all over again. The second half of October is another piss match with the store employee to get both freebies. I believe this is 1 of 2 Xmas sets this year. The second one will most likely be the free set for November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I am gonna load up on WV Cottages. (And by that I mean buy 2...1 for building and 1 for saving). I might get 1 of the Markets too. I also want to get a couple R2's but might have to forego those if funds are tight I need to sell some things to fund my habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
