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

I like it!

Double VIP and the first Holiday promo set. Sweet!

The set looks awesome!

Best time of the year to buy exclusives. The holiday sets plus 2x VIP is such a killer deal.

Looks like October is setting up to be an expensive month.

I like it!  Looks like they're pairing the holiday giveaway sets with the new Winter Village sets too.  Last year's tree stand fits in nice with the Winter Village Market, and this little toy shop will be a nice add-on to Santa's Workshop.

I like the promo! It goes well with the Santa's Workshop set. Looks like I'm going to be spending at least $100 in October.

Probably be spending a $100 in early November as well for part 2.  Way before Brick Friday.

Love it. This is going to go great for the village.

Wow awesome promotions!! Can't wait!

I thought Oct was supposed to be 3x points?

This one is definitely a winner. The Christmas tree set did so well last year, this one is even better.

If I remember correctly right before Black friday, or maybe it was Black Friday, they did triple points and the 2nd Christmas set giveaway...

(Someone correct me if wrong...going on memory here and I've killed off my share of Vodka since then.)

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.

I THINK they ran out before the sale on the second holiday set and there were no extra giveaways during the 3x VIP event, but I am going off a pretty bad memory too.

 

It appears that double VIP points are back, plus the Elves Workshop will be free with orders of $99 or more.  Minifigures series 12 will be available on the 1st.

 

Here's a close-up of the 2014 Christmas set which appears to be the Elves Workshop.

 

 

And the back of the calendar:

 

YES! Looks like there's another Lego store opening in NYC...

 

And also, LEGO needs to make an Architecture version of the Flatiron building!

October will definitely be a profitable month for us and Lego.

The brick or treats thing would have been so much better on Halloween! I never really cared for candy (I'll take strawberries and other fruits any day), so just thinking about getting Lego on Halloween would have been a billion times better.  Even if it was just a couple of pieces per house.

Oh boy. Time to load up!!!

The holidays set is FAN-TA-STIC.

 

It will fit so well with santa's workshop that some twisted mind people could think it has been designed together since the very beginning...

Going to be an expensive October and November. Shoot, an expensive December too. Haha!!!

Time to start saving up some $$$. Hopefully, there's not too many deals for Sep.

Oh, that is a cute set! I'll have to figure out what to buy.

This looks awesome - thanks for posting!
