rockethead26 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The window is now open to get both double VIP points and the Holiday Train. The train was added to my cart this morning. Yep. Confirmed. Double bonus! Quote

EXTENDED – VIP Double Points! Earn $5 for every $50 you spend through October 31!*** Edited October 13, 2015 by Prune Face Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Has it really been extended the whole Month? No way! I'm definitely going to get that train now! time to figure out what I'm spending 100 on this month! I'm an unashamed bargain chaser! More for me, more for them, win win! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Vodnik Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Double VIP points have started today at the European S@H. But there are no polybags whatsoever offered currently. Also the Wall-E set which I planned to buy during this promo is "Temporarily out of stock"... I'm sad. And angry a bit... Quote
ShaydDeGrai Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Confirmed, just got an email. EXTENDED – VIP Double Points! Earn $5 for every $50 you spend through October 31!*** I was talking to a couple contacts from my local Lego store (US) and they said that their (local) year-to-year sales for the first week of October were really off this year and a lot of people were complaining about the train offer not overlapping with the double VIP bonus. They had passed on the datum to corporate. I wonder if this was just anecdotal or if the "EXTENDED - VIP Double Points!" promotion was an abrupt reversal of course because some new marketing strategy looked like it was backfiring on a larger scale. I know I've always been a bit torn about the double VIP cycle in October. I tend to buy a lot to get the bonus points, but then I spend so much that I get invited back for the Pre-Brick Friday private sale, and, because I bought so much in October (and usually the next wave of things I want don't come out until December) my wish list is pretty empty for the Brick Friday event. The one year I held back in October in order to have a bigger shopping list for November was also the one year I didn't get the invite, oh well... Quote

I just ordered a bunch of Power a Functions goodies, got double points, and the Holiday Train. Win, win! Andy D Quote
uksuzanne Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Stuck in the uk wondering why it has to be a secret when the holiday train (or gingerbread house) is going to be available here if it is at all. I was going to make an order today as I've been waiting for the double vip points to get the two most recent modulars, but I'm frustrated with reading all this information about what's going on in the US but having no clue what's going on here & haven't done it yet. Legos strange secretive policies about what they might sell or offer as a giveaway with purchase in the next fortnight which only seem to apply to some parts of the world are making me cross. Or maybe I'm just jealous. Quote

Lego Dino 500 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I'm having a garage sale to get rid of some extra crap, let's hope I can make enough for Petshop, Maskmaker vs Skullgrinder, a PaB cup, and possibly Onua, PoE, Kopaka, and PoI if my Lego store has them. Add in my birthday, and I'm getting about $40 in points this year to spend/save for next year. Edited October 15, 2015 by Lego Dino 500 Quote
