The main issue now with freebies is the lift of the discount ban on exclusives. Those freebies were nice to offset the cost of them big boys sets but now I'm not so sure . hopefully some nice discounts on ur regular sets to go along  with the offer . 

 

yeah especially when sets like SC which are supposedly on way out sit there $63 off.  Definitely takes away the freebie benefits.

I wonder if we will be able to get this on the 19th with the "early access"

I recall reading somewhere that yes, there will be early access.

The Snowglobe is listed on the November Store Calendar as a "Brick Friday" offer.  The calendar also shows November 19-20 as Double VIP points and early access to Brick Friday offers for VIPs.  So, you are correct.

I'm going to hit up the Holiday Train that weekend.  That's good enough for me.

I've been holding off on the Holiday Train, Caterham and Yellow Submarine in anticipation of this weekend - so at least three Snow Globes for me.

Brickset make quite an important point for resellers (taking into account recent events e.g Darth Revin). There is no year marked on the box so it could come back at some stage.

Yeah, I definitely made note of that as well.  I'm pretty sure CSG and Gingy would also like to remind people not to be too greedy...

On the other hand: Reissuing sets WITH a year printed on the box wouldnt be a problem either. The value of the first issue drops this way or that - year printed on front or not. Yet they havent done remakes there and I think they wont start it, there are soooo many ideas for small xmas sets, it's like the last resort for TLG's formerly well-known innovative spirit...

I think it means if they have excess unsold stock they can put it out again like with Revan and not be screwed by an old box. That fits in more with the times.

Right, maybe they noticed that problem when planning to give away those Gingerbread houses during the London store opening. Just producing less doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

25-35 euros seems to be the going rate on ebay now.

Placed two separate orders for a T1 and got two snowglobes today

Shouldn't be too hard to break even on the T1's.

Received 1 Snowglobe today and have another one incoming tomorrow.  

The going rate on Marktplaats seems to be 25 Euro as well. That's cash in hand and no costs subtracted. 

Got a few of these so thought I'd build one with my boys. 

Its a great little set!

Well worth holding for a year if people can I reckon.

Sold all mine 22x $37-44.00

Gingerbread house was much more popular set

Just got an email from Lego saying snowglobe is extended online only. Seems they overestimated demand this year

I'm in Canada and it was advertised as only being available until the Sunday I believe. 

It was available earlier in US I think.

Only started in UK on Friday.

close to 400 sellers on ebay say sell sell sell.  I sold one of these with an ornament for 60 a few weeks ago.  Prices are closer to 30 now.
