Christmas card from TLG

LostInTranslation

This morning at work I was surprised to receive a Christmas card from the Lego VIP programme.

It was a nice little surprise (and the first card I have received aside from one from my mum!) But I was disappointed there was no coupon inside ;-)

Anyone else get one?

Rails

Not got one yet but I would like one. I never get Christmas cards :(

Legopants

@LostInTranslation‌ - very cool! Now, let's see how long it takes for the moaning to start...

CCC

^ OK, they are rubbing it in using the chrome red minifigure! :-)

alexwil

Just got one as well, figured there would've been something a little special in there but still put a smile on my face! (it doesn't take much!!)

legomatt

^ Oh Nooooo! it's the valentine fig massacre all over again! :oD
Lol

CHERUBboy

I spend so much, they could at least have thrown in a solid gold Darth Vader minifig or something...

cheshirecat

Apparently I have one at home too.

CapnRex101

Hooray! I have one waiting for me at home as well. I am loved! :o)

theLEGOman

Non for me :(.

andrewm02

Got one this morning :) :)

HangedSanchez

I got one! I feel quite touched! :D

woony2

I got one too.
Oh wait, that was from Christmas 1981. The last time I received anything from them.

Sounds like a lawsuit! ;oP
Was it mutually consenting? :oP

arl100

Yep, one turned up this morning. With 'VIP' on the front I thought it was coupons for Slave 1 and Detective's Office! Oh well.

CCC

They are nothing special. I got one. :-)

If anyone wants it, I'll exchange it for a Valentine's keychain. I'll cross my name out and add yours in my neatest handwriting. With a crayon.

cheshirecat

^ No deal - clearly they give these out to just about anyone, where as the valentines keychains were just for us special few! ;-p

carlq

^ Yup, @cheshirecat‌, they really do give them out to anyone, since mine arrived this morning....;-P

CCC

Well it turns out I am a somebody ... I got two. One at home, one at work. Or maybe they knew I was going to throw away the first one.

BooTheMightyHamster

I got one!
To ebay!!!

;o)

klatu003

No Christmas greetings for me yet. However I did feel the love a few years ago.

samiam391

I finally got something from them for being a VIP member (about time).

They also included a $10 gift card for being in the top 10% of customers at their store. A nice add-on and one that I'll be sure to use soon!

theLEGOman

Mine arrived today.

They may be a bit premature though with the ©20114 on the back, lol.

AdeelZubair

I just registered the VIP after two years so imagine I could have gotten these freebies and deals :/

suprajames

Got mine today as well, was hoping for a Slave 1 voucher as well, but still the first card I have got :)

Legoboy

You and me are going to fall out LEGO.

legomatt

I didn't get a valentine fig, event invite, pre-sale slot, vip bonus, discount, or a christmas card from Lego... but after watching The Hobbit:Bo5A yesterday at the cinema, I think I've experienced a 2-hour long middle-finger from Peter Jackson. (They say he didn't have a cameo-role in this one, but I think he shone his arse at me for the whole 144mins). :oD

Lego is forgiven.

I now have other enemies in much greater need of a thorough thrashing. ;oP

Do you have marketing preferences turned on or off?

Calv

I helped out in the Minecraft area at Brick2014 and Julie, the Lego executive running the display said we would get a little something from Denmark as a thank you.

Well today I had a knock at the door and the DHL guy handed me a large parcel which contained:

1 Christmas Card and Business Card minifig
3 Series 13 Minifigs
3 Creator Xmas baubles
4 Toys R Us Bricktober Minibuilds #40180 - #40183
5 Minecraft Sets including the Mine #21118
6 Animals and Birds from the seasonal series this year #40085 - #40093.

To say I am blown away would be an understatement!

I would like to thank Julie and the Lego Group for this present.

Calv

CCC

Wow, that is a pretty huge gift.

@CCC nah, it's ok.
I was just exaggerating whatever list of events i could think of (probably got some wrong) purely for the comedic effect by comparison. :o)

You forgot "And a partridge in a pear tree".

Calv

^ I was thinking that as I was typing the list - nearest I have is #40091 - A thanksgiving turkeeeeee....

Legopants

Got my German card from Lego today :-))

madforLEGO

I would complain that I did not get one, but it is not like that is going to reduce my purchasing from LEGO or of LEGO from other retailers. My want to buy a house will likely do that. I mean what is the alternative, buying Megablock? no thanks.
