Apparently, I have 78 lego points expiring on the 31st.  Anyone got any recommendations?  I can't get the site to load their "sales/deals" page.

They expire two years after the date they were earned.

I think it is 2 years.  I don't buy much from them   Or when I do, it is during double vip points.

didn't realize they expire so I looked into it. From the LEGO Shop at Home website

Will I be reminded before the expiry of my VIP Points?

Yes, you will be notified three (3) months prior to the expiry of any VIP Points.

 

The prices are so bad at LEGO Shop at Home that I can't decide if I even want to use my rewards.  Wish the Batman figs came out before the 1st.

Goto a LEGO store on the 26th. they usually have unique sales.

Has anyone heard any details about this year's post Christmas promotions at the LEGO stores?

I've heard the employee gift is going to be more awesome than it ever has been. Supposedly it's a train to represent many of their iconic trains from the past.

Great suggestion.  I think I will wait.

And all I get from my boss for Christmas is a stupid card.

? tfw in illinois. 

Kroger Marketplace shoppers should probably check there too.  They are owned by Fred Meyer, I think.

Those 4002016 have been selling steadily at 280 on eBay..... I don't think they will go higher ....

We don't get a bonus most of the time and haven't had a company Christmas party in over 15 years.

I work for a large corporation and our local office hasn't had a Christmas party in about 12 years. While our Christmas bonus is limited to remaining employed, our annual bonus (if available) doesn't come until April.
