SAH in some countries has reduced the min. free shipping amount to 35 euros for VIP´s. No confirmation it is a permanent offer but it seems likely.

It works to use one only...

But be careful - when you fall under 65 Euro (in Germany at least) using the coupon you get no snowglobe anymore - despite the fact that it has been confirmed during checkout...

I did this exact thing this morning. It took my snowglobe off on 2 of my orders because it went under the 60 mark, I just assumed as it was in my basket it would be sent through. Now I have to decide if I should keep both the santas workshops or cancel them both.

UK prices are too high now the pound has strengthened.

Time to short again

Yes, it starts tomorrow my local dolly-bird at Tesco Express confirmed an hour ago after I saw it on HUKD earlier. The poor lass will be busy when I collect!

If there's a set that needs clearing out to eliminate competition, who wants in? You'll need to have several pages open and place order after order after order if the limit is 3.

Nothing to stop us ordering right now as Tesco have a 28 day self-price-promise and I used it on the Friends Buses and Volcano Explorers.

I did wonder if people were doing that last time.  Just means tying up more money and faff for me though.

What does the 28 day self-price-promise involve? Do they hold the payment or something?

Just call them and say that the items you just bought now work out cheaper and would they mind refunding the difference please? If they don't play ball then simply don't collect. This time I'll C&C rather than take delivery as I'll then choose the latest date possible to that I can get storage organised. The Volcano Explorer delivery was in 11 different vans on different dates - that was a real faff. Their price-promise isn't broadcast but does exist.

I didn't try the price-promise before the sale last time but, I may just order 9 of something now and then the rest tomorrow in the early hours.

It makes you think how low Tesco's wholesale price is as I can't believe that they're doing 3-for-2 for the 3rd time so soon.

I'm surprised that George hasn't responded yet. But, Amazon & John Lewis may be worth a look just in case they match.

The 3 for 2 is a bust this time.  Most interesting sets are oos.

Be patient, they may be introducing new stock and may cock up the prices like they did on the Friends Bus & Spaceport last time.

240 products were in stock a few minutes ago and it's now 241 so something has been added.

I've got my paws on something anyway as soon as the traps open.

I have been using the price promise for over a year  (once i phoned from a different continent as the price had dropped within 28 but I still had another 6 weeks of the holiday to go). I found out by chance ages ago when i phoned up to say an item have been reduced since i bought it.  Thats when they told me about the price promise. Also confirmed again by tesco guy on phone last night that they will refund the difference to stop people returning & rebuying at lower price. to stop the hassle for Tesco & customer. <-- AMAZON PLZ READ THIS. REFUND THE DIFFERNCE & STOP MAKING US RETURN & RE-BUY

I finally phoned last night to get 41130's, 75094's & 41055's (from 28 oct) price-promised.  First lady was useless saying past the 28 days & only offering to do one order as good will. Thanked her and phoned again. Next guy was brilliant.  I got half the orders matched no problems...was too embarrased to make him do all the orders.  Then phoned again & again guy was brilliant as i went through the rest of the orders.  I think he messed up on one of the 75094's as email saying only getting £23.?? old back instead of the £47.

If they dont play ball its because the muppet doesnt know.  Hang up & try again with a different adviser.  My 28 Oct order was dodgy as i left it soooo late....but hanging up and phoning again works on borderline cases. 

C&C
I saw one of my 60080's being kicked as they were bringing them out.  That pack of three showing serious signs of abuse.  Two are creased & crushed boxes.  Third one was annihilated were it got the boot.  Call to Tesco on the cards.

So is Boots 3-for-2 but, only a smaller selection of sets at RRP.

I clicked on Jeff's link and Tesco's website does say 3-for-2 on toys but not when I checkout. Same on phone, tablet, iMac and Windows laptop. I've also cleared cookies, cache and history. Same on Chrome, Safari, Dolphin, IE and Edge ;-(

Back to bed then.....

discount applied to basket & on payment page for me....but havent gone ahead with payment yet as nothing really standing out

I only ordered a few assorted sets (just 27) this time and used the BP link. If anybody wants to go in big, you can order 99x CITY Bulldozers for less than £12 each which is >50% off and EOL, I think this could do well.

Who's got the balls to buy hundreds of 60104 Airports and then sell 2x after fees a year later? I'm giving you all a chance as I'm going in HUGE if they're still around in a day or two. These need to be wiped out for the prices to rise. George has already put his up by over £10.

George's response was to increase his prices, numpty!

Not sure if this helps at all. I tried to grab as many of the sets as I could, then figure out what the price on the site is, then show the price of the set after the discount to show how much you would save per set.

In-store early Tesco run, Lego prices all same as online so no major bargains

But did pick up some other stuff really cheap that they don't stock online, notably 6" Star Wars Black Series figures that worked out at £5 each

Edited December 2, 20169 yr by roxio

@Jeff Mack  Re your Tesco list be careful as some of those sets aren't sold direct by tesco and therefore not in the offer.

I noticed it because Tesco's architecture stock is depleted almost completely. 

The Tesco deals are getting weaker each time, less stock and higher prices. In hindsight I'd have spent a lot more money on the first 3 for 2 in October if I could have.

Any experience with EUR 5 coupon from back side of lego catalog?

The coupon should be applicable from 1st December, but it didnt works neither online, nor personally in lego store (they didnt understand what I want).
