icm Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 I'm trying to decide whether to cash out my VIP points now and get the next big set on my wanted list with the Books Are My Passion GWP, or wait for one of the holiday season GWPs later. Does anyone have any idea what those will be? I know about the James Caird lifeboat GWP with the Endurance ship, but I'm going to have to get that separately because I don't plan on buying the ship.

Black Falcon Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 One of the sets is rumoured to be a little train, but aside from that I don´t think there is anything leaked yet - but I would guess we will get first informations for those soon. As for the train, it is unknown yet if it will be the reward for black friday/insiders weekend or for december, but I would guess rather the later. Quote

Murdoch17 Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 don't forget - 40729 Shackleton's lifeboat with purchases of 10335 Endurance - available Nov 29 to Dec 2 or while supplies last. Quote
icm Posted November 7, 2024 Author Posted November 7, 2024 Thank you. My wife might want the record player. I hope the set I want doesn't sell out before Black Friday, as it's retiring by the end of the year. If I don't cash out my VIP points now for the bookshelf promo, maybe I could cash them out in January for a different set. There are usually pretty good GWPs in January. Do you have any idea what those will be? Quote

Good call, I should've included that in the graphic! 19 minutes ago, icm said: Thank you. My wife might want the record player.

Do you have any idea what those will be? Late December/Early January will have Year of the Snake (buildable snake with cartoony eyes, like the previous Lunar New Year GWPs), then February should have a Valentines Day GWP. Not sure if anythings in between them/what it is if there is something. Quote
icm Posted November 7, 2024 Author Posted November 7, 2024 So no information yet about anything like the Blacktron Cruiser, Tahu & Takua, Moving Truck, Vintage Car, Vintage Taxi, or 4x4 Rescue Ambulance? IIRC those were all January-February GWPs and they were amazing. Quote
Black Falcon Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Have to say I am pretty disappointed by this years Black Friday GWPs. Neither of those do interest me at all, but ofc that is only my personal opinion. As far as I know there is no other GWP between the Bookshelf and Insiders? Quote
nerdsforprez Posted November 9, 2024 Posted November 9, 2024 Okay,,, just seeing this thread. Few questions I have, and sorry about the noobishness. I haven't played the Lego points/insider game for a while. If there is a GWP that I like now, if I make two separate purchases will I get two GWP? Scenario - I plan on buying two Milky way sets, each over the threshold of obtaining the current GWP (books are my passion). So, if I make two separate purchases will I get two separate GWP sets?

The record player might be interesting if it's well done, but that picture of a real record player doesn't really tell us anything. As a train fan I can say that train GWP is of no interest. I think we got something similar to that another year. It sits in a bin of miscellaneous parts. None of the kids play with it. I'm holding out until either Insiders weekend or Black Friday to order the Orient Express. I can only hope it will be on sale on Black Friday (please, please, please...)

They're not particularly interesting to me either, which is a shame, as previous years have generally had great options at this time of year. I wonder if they will do decent sales this year? Quote
a_clay_brick Posted November 11, 2024 Posted November 11, 2024 Lol that bot chose an excellent thread to bump. Images are now out of the two November sets. Quote

We got 40138 Christmas Train as a GWP back in 2015, and it has been used as a Christmas decoration every year since then. Quote
