 I dont expect too much this year - beucase of corona production lags, but some sets should be discounted. Primary the standard sets, from exclusives some bad sellers:

Disney Train - really not popular set

Tantive IV - ending this year, probably due its unpopularity

Vestas Wind Turbine - same

 

Is Tantive IV unpopular? It's an iconic ship and the exclusive minifigs are going for a decent amount of cash on the secondary market. I haven't bothered with it myself but, that's because there are a couple of superior MOCs. The MOCs are pretty steep so the official set is a decent enough model if you want something off the shelf.

The set does nothing for me personally. Never loved the ship. I think what holds it back is it missed the UCS tag. Just my thoughts.

I never cared for it... but if it’s 30% off plus VIP points i may pick one up

kinda OT but if the stars align and there is BOTH a return to SIP AND passing of a new Feds stimulus package...this could be the most EPIC holiday shopping season ever.

 

Don’t think the current administration is going to act on a stimulus prior to leaving office. and even if one did pass, seems unlikely it will hit before the Holidays.

not a political post. Just not expecting any sort of stimulus anytime soon.

I didn't think of the missing UCS tag. I suppose you probably get people that only buy UCS ships.

Haven't seen this listed anywhere else yet. Just got an alert that this was listed in LEGO Shop at Home... To be part of the VIP sales.

Might do good things for the red brick, too?

 

 

That was confirmed to me aswell. Manager still wouldnt let me know what sets.

This to replace the Charles Dickens lol can you imagine. Lego still haven't officially confirmed that promo. 

This brick though imo seems a bit crud as a promo. 

 

Wait scrap that comment above lol. Lego have now confirmed it on there page. 

Free Lego Charles Dickens with purchases of over £150 from 21st to 22nd Nov.

Free VIP brick set with purchases of over £200 from 21st to 22nd Nov.

Double points also on those dates.

That seems like a great deal.

I used BrickLink to get the parts to build the red one and it was really inexpensive.  I can't imagine having to spend $150 or $200 or whatever it'll be for this.  I added an extra layer of tiles in mine so I could easily open it.  I just don't know what to store in there!

There'll be some sort of poster for VIPs too on that weekend.

Which country is this for?

that was the worst f'n return on a promo ever.  Not sure how a 2nd one was needed and how that would help an already shitty first one.

Nothing says the holidays like a brick in a box!

 

there is supposedly a small xmas tree type promo like the surfer van thing was last year.  Not sure if generic poly style or not.  Think would be a one day like the surfer van was although that one came back later on.

I would love to hear everyone else's predictions.

I think there's going to be LEGO sets at a discounted price. That's my prediction.

Will the Charles Dickens promo come back on black friday deals or could it be just for the 21st and 22nd? Anyone have an idea on this.

Better have your carts filled up $200+ now and have 2 or 3 backup plans in mind. Don't expect anything OOS now to come back for this either. So much OOS at SAH right now. Pretty good looking double dip GWP situation on top of double points.
