Maybe there's just no sale items on for this VIP weekend. 

Ninjago city was so hard to get in the UK. Stock was a major issue for certain sets last year.

Looks like it will be 30% off again in February.

Yea, 30% off in North America too. I grabbed a few but had a very hard time selling them. Very slim profit, but at least I got points and the GWPs.

Yeah, those seemed a crazy good deal when I bought them... and still, on the shelf they sit...

What are everyone thoughts on Disney train being 30% off again on BF (or VIP)?? I passed on it last year but kinda regret not getting at least one... hoping it comes back so i can grab one (or two)

Disney Train and Apocalypseburg were great to get the GWP's. 

Train sets sold with 10% profit to get rid of it, Apocalypseburg sets sold with 80-100% profit

I don't expect an Apocalypseburg equivalent this year...

its unique. might be wrong obv. not a lot of precedent to go on here.

also, buyin is higher then in previous years. less ppl will have this, and likely lego made less corespondingly

True... i have to say, the drawer is really cool

Anyone have any further info about if the GWP includes sale items??? (i heard it doesn’t?)... in addition to this... anyone hear about what will be on sale VIP weekend?

This weekend is just double points and the gwps.  Pretty sure how it's been for awhile now. I mean I'm the one who posts the sales the last 5 years or so and that's the way it's been or how I remember it at least.

Let's keep that streak alive.

Nah, musta been somebody else.

Dickens will be a $100 in a year, no doubt.  Many of the Christmas GWPs have no figs.  This has 3 and they are collectible just on their own merits.

A lot of folks are going to miss getting this, so the supply will be more reseller-heavy than normal (my theory).  This will be in demand....

Hmm sounds like the market could be flooded. I just hope it won't come back as an actual set sold by Lego next year. At least it shouldn't be hard to get with this new info. 

Maybe though it's a set to sell now and not hold seeming as we have no idea what there plans are with it are going forward. 

On a side note I really do wish we knew what was coming up for the actual Lego black Friday event, I don't want to end up purchasing sets that will be discounted a week later.

well the Christmas tree coming back in the summer and selling out was a nice reminder for folks which fueled price increases going into the holidays (North America).  I regretfully sold a few of mine for sub $50 when currently going for $85+
