Just saw these pop up.

Castle, done.

Thoughts?

I think I'm going to skip the Lego Cantina for now.  I have one as already boxed and wanted one to keep boxed and build another one.  But seems like everyone is not thrilled with the Cantina.  I still think everyone being against it might make it a winner.  Will watch for it on sale and may or may not get another by end of year

Those are the sets that actually end up doing well: Palpatines Arrest, Cloud City 2, BoH and so on. BN and Amz don’t seem to have perma stock, Target is out and Walmart just got it back but limit 1. 
 

I am probably going to get the P1 on day 1, the Space Babies and another Micro Ninjago pushed me over, but won’t be up at Midnight or whenever the website begins to work those days are long over for me. So hopefully the P1 GWP is still available in the morning. 
 

I still haven’t picked up the Ferrari and was thinking it was a $100-150 coupon but the 5X VIP makes sense as to why I didn’t get it. Have you built it yet?

I think it was Houses of the World 4 Asian themed that was a short run and never returned yet but maybe the Flower Shop as well.

That said, it is just for my personal collection, so it's fine whatever happens.

You can never go wrong with that mentality

I should have used a $100 VIP voucher but still holding out for what @Captain_Obvious thinks is coming out on BF 2025

I thought you were referring to the Batpod lol. If you meant the Insider Reward "Micro Rail Command Centre", it makes sense that it's dropping on 24' BF. Given the new Insider section "Space", recent classic Space GWP releases, and the nod to classic Space in the mainline, it's happening sooner than later. I believe this was the year of Space and next year they're switching gears to F1 with a classic Octane & Ferrari vibe for City.

Haven’t built yet but love the set one of the best super cars

When LEGO cancels an order where I tried to redeem points ( I tried to add micro Ninjago City docks) with a D & D dragon.   My order was cancelled.

Are points automatically added back to our account, or are they gone forever?

Or, do I have to call and have customer support add them back?

You get to call now, maybe they will just ship the little guy to you.

Why was your order cancelled, going over the limit of 1? If you make a new order does the code for Docks show as already redeemed? 

Man, so quiet.  I’m getting antsy.  I don’t have a good reason to get it, but I feel like I need to grab a McLaren tomorrow just to be a part of something 😛

I’m skipping p1 for now and buying gwp

they excluded the space gwp on that one McLaren set

Yeah, that's the first time I've ever seen them single out one set before.  Would have bought the McLaren for sure otherwise.  Now, idk . . .

Wow, what a big FU to wake up to this morning from Lego. I’m holding off as well on the P1. This is really something new:
 

Qualifying purchase must be equal to or greater than $200 in LEGO merchandise only, excluding LEGO® Technic™ McLaren P1™ (42172) and LEGO® DREAMZzz™ Castle Nocturnia (71486).

The only one more pissed off than you is that lone dad out there who has the weird kid that desperately wanted the Dreamzzz Castle for his birthday. This dad has long regretted his offspring but in this instance, he saw some hope -- he could at least squeeze a nostalgic GWP out of the birthday present for himself.

Nope. That dream just got crushed.

It's a good time to sit down with him and explain "life just isn't always fair".  Better he learn it now than later when something similar may come up with his wife or own kids.  He needs to be prepared.

my man you are awesome. I went to my store, asked if they had the McLaren GWP and Space GWP and they did.  Asked if I bought the P1 if I would get both and they said yes.  Proceeded to buy and they pulled out one of the last few space gwp's they had not sure if restocking.  Happy Camper.  thank you !

Did Lego just over produce this Micro Rocket GWP?  The GWPs normally don't last the entire duration, if not sell out within a day or two but this one is still available online.  I'm not complaining since I was able to get 1 for myself but just curious.  Or is it combination of bringing it back and the current environment with folks just spending less on "luxury" items like lego...

High buy in, only going to net 15%-20% discount at best for reselling, if it was doubled with good rakuten cb might be more appealing. It does seem like they made quite a bit. My thoughts.. I’m sitting out this one.

Micro GWP went poof, so I believe this one is limited. Not backing down from its Tier 1 GWP status ($60+). Took a recent dip, but this will go back up to $70 in a month given all the free advertisement with the re-release. When the next classic Space GWP drops in Nov, I'll bet it hits $90+ with the completionists. CTA: go deep on the monorail.

Is this an upcoming GWP?  I missed the rumor on it, when is it expected to hit or did I already miss it?

allegedly it will be an Insiders reward and not a GWP, so save those points.

If I didn't have a Pick a Brick order, I would've sat out as well as I only really wanted Peridia set for the figures and the LotR Brickheadz from earlier in the summer.  Looking forward to the monorail set to go with it.  Bummed it doesn't appear to have another color of space baby and just another blue one. Missed opportunity if so.  Sometimes I think Lego doesn't like making easy money.
