Went by my local Lego store today. Mountain of Dickens sets behind the counter. They were willing to hold some sets for me to pick up tomorrow. Plenty of Elf Workshops, a couple gingerbreads & firehouses. I held one of each. Piano, Diner, Batwing, Haunted House all in stock. 

Looking at the already live BF weekend in Australia, I cannot see any deals on sets just the double points & freebie. 
Is BF weekend in Australia the same as the offerings in Europe usually?

Diner selling out in the U.K. so a good sign here.

Store has much better stock than the website here. Almost everything I listed is oos on the site. 

Sounds like LEGO shifted stock to stores....just in time for Lockdown 2.0...

I predict.... Thousands of wallets bank accounts and credit cards are bracing for the great purge tonight.

I've made a few moc carts on paper. So if i don't get first idea I can move on.

I'm leaning towards the Batwing, because that was on my "to buy eventually" list... I think I'm going to pair it with myself using my backup email address that I sent my Rakuten referral to.  I'm hoping the 10% cash back (today only which I'm wondering if it expires pacific time) stacks with the $40 welcome bonus I should receive for referring to my backup account and spending $40 or more...

Diner, upside down, slave I, porsche, maybe pirates of barracuda bay...will add potter minifigs to get over $150 humps..

Normally, there are a ton of clearanced keychains at $0.99 or $1.49 to get over the threshold, but there aren't any now. What the h***?? Guess I'll have to add a $5 CMF figure.

Rakuten appears to be until 3am eastern - so there should be an overlap.

I expect the low limits and my prior big ticket purchases will hinder my buying plans.

dang. only 1.5% at Rakuten in Canada at Lego

Jeff and Ed really appreciate you using the affiliate links. Sometimes there are more important things than saving a couple of bucks here and there on a $200 purchase.

Thanks - Pickins just got even tougher.

I usually use these when I need filler to hit a threshold. Low priced and actually useful if you don’t want a random CMF or another keychain to throw in your junk drawer. You’ll find them under the “xtra” section in the themes tab.

How certain are we that the dickens promo will not be included with sale items on Black Friday??
