It's gone total toxic jealousy mode again So, they're getting downvoted, because even though they didn't get Revan either, they got something else, while some people walked away with no Revan and no replacement? That's crazy...

October 4, 20168 yr The people who mistakenly submitted multiple orders, did all of them go through with Revans? Sadly I think Lego's website error probably caused the Revans to run out faster. 21 minutes ago, pittpenguin123 said: Yah Imentioned how some people for a sorry you missed out gift and I got downvoted like crazy.

October 4, 20168 yr The promo was a mitigated disaster: Here's what went right: -Shop@home was available at midnight. Here's what went wrong: -Shop@home is a laggy mess, amplified by the number of users clogging the system. Orders seemed stuck at processing. -Rogue One sets were available 9 hours plus from the time the promo was put in effect. -By the time RO sets were there Revan was gone.

The free shipping and no minimum purchase meant that I was able to buy a keychain (which was on sale even!) for $5 and still get the Revan. So for $5.20 including tax I got a keychain and this very cool figure shipped to my door. The checkout process was busted but in the end I can't complain, this was much less painless than most promotions. It does stink that the RO sets weren't live at midnight though.

I'd say that the majority of them are kids. If ever I see stampy-feet tantruming I'll assume the user is between 6 and 13 yrs old and didn't get what they wanted from mummy and daddy. If, by some amazing surprise, they're above 14 and approaching adulthood I'd hope they grow up quickly.

Yeah I wanted to order the hover tank and ended up with Kanans speeder instead because I panicked and wanted to make sure I got revan
October 5, 20168 yr I'm surprised there was no minimum spend in US for the promo. Got my UK order yesterday (don't get me started on the quality of Yodel's courier service). However, I also got a free Spider-Man jumper poly bag, so that was a nice surprise.
October 5, 20168 yr Yep, I got the Spiderman polybag as well. Kind of surprised, ordered the Death Star and they shipped two parcels, one of which was just contained two free polybags, Death Star did seem to be in it's own special shipping box though, so maybe it's just cheaper and easier for them to send it out like that rather than taking it out of that box and sticking it in a different one to ship along with other stuff.
October 5, 20168 yr I would have been very disappointed with a Spiderman polybag, but Spiderman is a dime a dozen. Though even Spidey is better than nothing I suppose. I did receive my order order yesterday and it had everything I ordered, including the Revan figure.
October 5, 20168 yr Author Got my midnight order through yesterday which I thought was really quick shipping. Got the FO stormtrooper polybag and the Spider-Man polybag too. It's actually got some useful parts. As always, I had zero issues with the S@H site.
October 5, 20168 yr After getting the FO Trooper poly with my AT-ST I went back in the Sunday and bought the Death Star. I was given another FO Trooper, a tiger poly and a Lego Associate poly bag. I've not seen one of the associate bags before... does anyone know where they originated?

October 5, 20168 yr I had my second shipping notification today following one from the 3rd October, both for the same order! In addition, the order total had increased by £10 from the previous one... perhaps a little makeover of the S@H website may be required. Hopefully they'll fix it in time for 'Brick Friday' otherwise it's likely to collapse from the surge of traffic!

It's a Lego Store Employee although it was described as a Lego Associate when they put it in the bag. I've still not got bag out of the boot of my car so the Death Star and the additional polybags are still there since Sunday.
October 6, 20168 yr Here is some info about the Lego Store Employee minifig. http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/LEGO_Store_Employee I think I got 3 of these at the lego store with the coupons from the calender. I live in the US.
October 6, 20168 yr My online order with Darth Revan was delivered today. Very happy to have it in hand.
October 6, 20168 yr My online order is due to arrive at my parent's house tomorrow, and I hope to be there sometime late tomorrow night or Saturday morning. I am pumped! I want to have Revan in my hands!
October 7, 20168 yr Customer service got back to me, apparently AU/NZ was only supposed to have double points. But since I only got single points and no polybag they gave me bonus points to put it up to triple and sent a stormtrooper separately. Don't think I sounded complainy (to them - on here however...) TLG has pretty good customer service when you contact them.
