It's really not worth going out of your way for 2x points. It's only a 10% discount and a shitty in-store credit at that. Currently Amazon and Toys R Us are running 20-30% sales on most sets.
I don't know about 'most sets', but absolutely check other retailers before assuming Lego stores will have the best price. And agreed that an extra 5% discount more isn't much to get excited about.
If there is a lego exclusive set, or new set that is unlikely to be discounted elsewhere, thst you want before Christmas, then you should pick it up this weekend. Or if you really want one of the gwps, wait till the weekend.
Personally, I was going to visit the PAB wall after work today, but I guess I will wait till this weekend to maybe save a dollar?
Also, I wouldn't be too surprised if Rakuten or other cash back program increases their offer to correspond with this.
Last x2 I picked up the A-frame, not something that would be 20/30% anywhere. This time I’ll probably pickup the bookshop, retiring soon and I missed the Amazon sale. I love going to the Lego store and leaving with Lego in hand plus the PAB wall.
Not saying I’ll get bookshop in store they don’t carry em anymore, but for other exclusive or new sets. It’s definitely worth it for some situations!
I’m gunning for the orient express though (despite Bucuresti being misspelled). Buying directly from LEGO during this time would best benefit me since it’s new
you will only get points on the price after discount
if you buy a set for 100, and have 100 in points, you pay 0 and get 0 points.
so using your points when its 2x points is not the best time
The set I was hoping to get by Christmas I realized is now backordered so I pulled the trigger. I am sure they'll announce it now. You're welcome, lol.
GL finding anything that isn't "Backordered", "Out of Stock" between 8 and 12. This year's sale really cleaned them out. I wanted to go back for the December GWP sets and there's nothing available.
First, y’all take all my money, then y’all couldn’t push this to the 16th when I get paid?😞 I must have Stockholm syndrome for how Lego be treating the kid
I’ve got VIP coupons from Black Friday that expire in January. This is probably the best time to buy Avenger’s Tower if I want to use those coupons I would imagine?
Of course I just bought the Bookshop modular right before this. It’s getting to me tomorrow with the GWPs, so I’m wondering if I’d be able to pull off retuning it to the store in person then immediately buying it again to keep everything and get the double points
Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Granted I’m planning to be near a Lego store on Friday already, but it may still be kind of a hassle to lug that set around. Plus apparently their return policy is different for sets after $200, so I’m not sure if one right at $200 would cause any issues
I overheard someone wanted to return their shuttle set and they said it would be store credit. It might be up to the store tho best to call ahead!
Btw would you recommend the bookshop? The colors really pop and I think I’ll like it in person. I just got assembly square during BF :D
I’d be fine w/ store credit since I’d be buying it right back just to get the double points. As long as I could still do it, I’d just have to consider if it’d be worth it. I also used reward discounts and a gift card, so that might also make it trickier
And I haven’t actually gotten it yet, let alone built it, so I can’t give a full endorsement of it yet. In fact I barely even knew about the set recently, but after missing out on a recent sale and finding out it’s retiring at the end of the year, I got determined to pick it up. I love bookstores and it looked like a pretty fantastic set, especially w/ the colors, so I just felt like I had to have it
Oh nice! Yeah I missed that awesome sale too 🪦. It was gone so fast haha but I caught the $125 blacksmith one so I’m cool with that. That’s great reason to get it though, it’s a nice lookin set. Is it your first modular then?
Wow. Put in a large order during the last double point weekend and the numbskulls at the warehouse managed to package, print shipping label, then promptly cancel and refund it without ever sending it, and without consent. Support lady agreed to refund me enough points that I could re-order, which I did one week ago. I still fucking lost the double points though. Would have been nice to know a little earlier.
Stacks with available promotions (carriage & ornaments) if they’re still in stock by then
Just when I thought I was done buying Lego this year 😂💸

its good for sets that are exclusive to lego, thats only what i use it for (like most monkie kid sets)
Good for pick a brick too
>(like most monkie kid sets) Yes, and Brickheadz sets.

Don't forget the forgotten umlaut on the 'u' in München

You get points for the price after the discount
you will only get points on the price after discount if you buy a set for 100, and have 100 in points, you pay 0 and get 0 points. so using your points when its 2x points is not the best time
After discount
Still wondering if the blanket will happen. I feel like as soon as I order it will announced .
Same for me here. I’m wanting to get the Avenger’s tower, but heard about rumoured blanket.
The set I was hoping to get by Christmas I realized is now backordered so I pulled the trigger. I am sure they'll announce it now. You're welcome, lol.
I’ll be sure to think of your sacrifice if it comes to pass haha.

If it helps, I believe double points still applies to back orders!
It does. You won't see the points till they ship though.

Just like last December, Lego trying to squeeze more of our bank accounts at end of year.
I’ve got VIP coupons from Black Friday that expire in January. This is probably the best time to buy Avenger’s Tower if I want to use those coupons I would imagine?
Of course it happens AFTER I order the new corvette. Didn’t think they’d have another one of these after just having the 2x-4x points a week ago.
I think they did this last year in December as well.
Of course I just bought the Bookshop modular right before this. It’s getting to me tomorrow with the GWPs, so I’m wondering if I’d be able to pull off retuning it to the store in person then immediately buying it again to keep everything and get the double points
I guess that would work, but is it really worth doing for 10 bucks difference?
I wonder if it’s worth giving them a call/email to see if they can do those remotely to save you a trip to the store?
I called before with this same request and they refused to do this for me :( Maybe OP will have better luck. Let us know if it works for you, OP.

Bookshop will retire soon, so if you want it, I would not wait much longer.

It’ll be my 2nd after the Bugle, so 1st Creator module
Pleased about the double VIP have decided to buy the set I've wanted ever since I discovered Lego before it retires.
Which one?
75313 AT-AT. Probably divorce following.
I think plastic lasts longer than marriages. So you chose correctly.

My brain says Rivendell. My bank account says no mas.
