Despite being backordered, I went ahead and got the Old Fishing Store. I really should get Slave I before it goes away, but I don't want to miss this set either.
Oh yeah, plus all the other stuff I ordered and nearly 600 VIP points!
Seems like a good day
Edit: Oh wait l checked out and it was added to my order. It didn't show up in the bag before checking out.
wedding set and what am I fill out order.
tic tac toe, lloyd, cave couple and VIP set all show up in cart. no sign of the friends gift box.
I'll have a chance to go to the LEGO Store on Friday, as I get out of work early.
I`m leaving the country in 2 days, so don`t really have the time to get the sets through UPS, so i`ll have to drive to a shop to take advantage of it.
- Double points : current promo
- VIP set : current promo
- Lloyd : was told that they had plenty left over
- Canvas tote bag : it is a November promo and it was a promo before; was told that they have a lot of them. probably got it because of the $300 set ;-)
Most of a case of S17 at $3.19 - discount on nonrandom CMFs is a win win. All 3 Rocket Boy and all 3 Elf Girl were still there. A TLNM case was also out but a quick search yielded no N-POP Girl.
I was surprised #40178 was a bagged set as most promos that big are boxed. Cashier wasn't sure if register would let me get 2 on a $250 purchase, but I didn't find that much to buy anyway. The only other promo they had was the Friends box.
Nothing really stood out on the PAB wall, but 2x1 white curved slopes seemed to be the best deal by volume, so I got a large cup of those. Might as well get a refill during 2x VIP even though I wasn't buying more cups. I weighed rather than count them. 389.8g (cup is 463.5g full, 73.7g empty). I weighed small batches and got aobut 0.31g, so 1257, call it 1250. It didn't quite fill a quart ziploc bag.
They had some polybags but for $4.99, I might've gotten #30398 if I saw any more Friends to get with it.
I had limited time, so didn't have as much time to think of additions, and took pictures of the PAB wall rather than write down contents. Some pieces I couldn't identify from the picture. I saw a sign that said buy any PAB cup, get a sand baseplate for $5 - not a bad deal if you have any need for both. I wish I had noticed this while in store.
Typically I only get PaB and build a figure packs when at a LEGO store as the rest I can typically get online.
For promos such as the VIP set I will spend a bit more to get them, but typically I reserve most of my larger purchases online (mostly due to the sales tax at the store vs where I live)
Has anyone noticed better packaging implementation for [email protected]? I ordered giant exclusives for the Double VIP promo and all the packages came with the promos inside the box. None of the promos were even remotely damaged and usually they come mostly crushed when they are put inside the box. That's on top of the super fast shipping they had. I haven't been buying a lot to resell, so I wonder if they are giving better service because they see me as a common collector which they value more over resellers.
The perfect storm of 2x VIP points and a promo I'm interested in is what does it for me. Otherwise, I get mine elsewhere, almost always for less.
I must say, I've been super impressed with CS on the few occasions I've reached out to them!
I'll probably spend less there next year, since there are fewer large exclusive sets on my wanted list at this point.
Pretty disappointed to have this arrive the other day. Outside of box was completely fine, looks like they added too much padding on the top, which crushed some of the boxes. Emailed Lego customer service, hope they can find a way to make this right.
I swear my Lego luck never goes in my favor!
They were out of the VIP set and said they thought the website was too, but I still found well over $125 to buy
Another 5 each wedding set and What Am I?, 2 each S17 Elf Girl and TLNM N-POP Girl (they have a lot better turnover on CMF's than regular stores)
#40171 Hedgehog Storage and 3 #30398 Adventure Camp Bridge polybag to get #40266 Mini Keepsake Box - none of the larger Friends sets interest me at MSRP even with promo value and 2x VIP, these are hard to find, and I wanted a 30398 for my camping collection
PAB large refill and $5 tan baseplate - multiple times they've put in the price of a new cup and have to take that off to put in the refill price. Also, they said I could get only 1 discount baseplate even if I got multiple PAB cups
Thanks for the FYI!
It'll go to the first one I get a PM from.
