Andy D Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) I went to the online VIP event today and picked up the three Winter village sets, got a 10% discount on my purchase, free shipping and got the Christmas set #2. Last week we went to the Downtown Disney Anaheim to do some Christmas shopping. Spent about $275 or so (don't remember exactly how much. It's better that way ;) ) and got several PAB boxes. I guess, after discounts I spent a little over $500 this week. (LEGO did real good with me this week ;) ) Looks like the only thing I missed from the special in-store event was the scratcher.

Pingles Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) The Online event today for me was: $50 = Free Shipping $100 = Free Shipping and Holiday Set 2 (Fireplace) $150 = Free Shipping, Holiday Set 2 (Fireplace) and 15% off Kind of amazing to me if that is better than the Letter VIP Black Friday Special. EDIT: Yes, I fell for it. Spent $175 Edited November 19, 2011 by Pingles Quote

EDIT: Yes, I fell for it. Spent $175 That's very interesting! I used my invite and I got 10% off. I was wondering if everyone got the same or not, but I guess you answered my question. Did everyone get a VIP online invite, or am I part of a select few? Of course I took advantage of it... Locutis Quote

EDIT: Yes, I fell for it. Spent $175 That's very interesting. My offer (which I accepted) was the same as above, except my discount was only 10%. Weird that the online offer discount was different for different folks. But that's OK. My pre-discount, pre-tax was $185, after discount and VIP points used it was $144 (plus sales tax), still a good deal for what I got. Andy D Edited November 20, 2011 by Andy D Quote
LegoDad42 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 At Queens Center Lego Store there were only about 15 people that came in and out within the hour. Felt very easy to shop with just a few people, I could concentrate. Usually I'm there shopping when they have the MMM Builds so it's always a mob scene. Got a nice badge and lanyard (made me feel so special...;) to wear around the store. I wore it most of the day till my wife hit me in the head...anywho... ...beside some bigger kits for me, my kid and nephews for Xmas some notable pick-ups were all 3 holiday ornaments (I think they sold out of these already there), all the holiday polybags, scored a couple more Ramses Pyramids and Ramses Return plus Race 3000 all knocked down (all of the games except Heroica were at 50% or more off), couple new DINO sets, Holiday Xmas Set 1 and two Set 2's (one for me and one for my brotha' bmwlego)...plus 3 PaB box's...but only scored the 10% scratcher (pull tab) and used my Vip points plus another $5.00 Club coupon to ease the credit card pain a bit. Had fun and got to make some new AFoL friends, but wish they had more items on sale instead of just the games...and an exclusive just for ViP's attending the event. Over-all another fun Lego day!

fred67 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Got a nice badge and lanyard (made me feel so special...;) to wear around the store. Nice. We got nothing really notable... a keepsake like that would be cool. I was expecting at least coffee and donuts or something. There were only maybe a dozen or so people at our store, and virtually everyone there with an invite brought a friend with them, so only like 6, maybe 7 people who got invites went, which really surprises me.
