I'm not sure.  It's not explicitly stated in the details like it is for the BF promotion.  Intuitively, I would say yes.  But my intuition has gotten me in trouble before.  It does say to speak with a brick specialist for details.  I plan on making a trip to my B&M store in the next couple of days and will make an inquiry.

Edit:  Exciter says yes, so it looks like he's already inquired.

I'm not sure if it's confirmed but these early buying opportunities for VIPs have been available online as well at least the last 3-4 years.

I think Mesje was asking about the 'doorbuster sale items' which are still to be confirmed

Just to be clear, the 2016 Wall Calendar will also be available online? Why would they put the mention "only at the LEGO Store" then??

If I'm not mistaken, in the past the door buster and calendar have been only available in physical stores. Double VIP, the holiday set and a few select items on sale have been available online.

The wording is pretty clear... not sure why folks are so confused?

Wishful thinking? Reading is hard? Quitting while I'm ahead?

LEGO Shop at Home did toss in extra calendars as freebies sometime last spring. Too little too late to use the coupons, but I still have a few 2015 Lego calendars sitting on a shelf and I landed 0 of them at a physical store.

 

Ohh boy, another round of 2xVIP this saturday....... I hate being a sucker for these things, but it's hard to resist. 

Hopefully, these next couple weeks sends a few more sets nearer to retirement..

Just curious, because I have never experienced one: what kind of door buster deals LEGO might offer on coming Black Friday?

I have never experienced one either... just read about them but they've been so underwhelming since I've been around that I don't even remember them.

It´s shame that we have just several hours to the beginning of Black Friday VIP day and dont have any details about it...

Maybe we in mainland Europe simply do not get any Black Friday VIP deals and it's only available in the US and UK ? Or only in countries with a physical Lego store (which unfortunately we in The Netherlands are deprived of).

I just got an email from LEGO Shop at Home regarding the sale tomorrow. Not that it said anything apart from "Don't miss the exclusive Sale for VIP Members tomorrow"

I guess after midnight we might see some clues on which sets will retire soon.

Got the email too.

I think we'll just have to wait..
Does anyone know if the offers start at midnight?

It's always like that in the U.S. at least.

I have also got the email, without details.

Such events used to start after midnight... but, when I checked New Zealand page after their midnight, there was no activity. Only now there is something new - gingerbread bonus set annonce and notice about these sets:

*Hurry! Limited availability of the following sets at the discounted price:
The Brick Bounty (70413)
MINI Cooper (10242)
Sydney Opera House™ (10234)
Ewok™ Village (10236)
LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 (31313)

But no discounts when I go to web sites of each set.

Interesting. Similar to last year´s offer where there was 20% off selected sets plus an extra 5% if you spent more than 120 euros - or something like that.

Now, if they retire the Mini that will be big news!

Wasn't SOH on last years list? Does someone have the list handy?

AA, EEE, R5, SOH, HE were on it.

So, EV & MC are probably staying...
