Redhead1982 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 So, it is likely to have double VIP points in March. This sounds as a great reason for a trip north to Munich. Can't confirm this, but remember double VIP points in March! Although we get to purchase 3000003 Lego Brand store set here in Munich on the 15th!! :wacko: And what is this 3000003 Lego Brand store set? I can't find anything about it. Quote

The Munich Pasing Arcades Lego Brand store has its official grand opening on the 14th,15th and 16th of February! and the Set 3300003 is always given out on friday's when there is an official grand opening! you get it free with a €30 or €35 purchase! Edit* sorry set # is 3300003! Edited January 29, 2013 by GRogall Quote
antp Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 First of all the Homemaker baseplates had rounded corners. Modern baseplates have virtually square corner. Really? On Bricklink the red & brown plates from homemaker sets are listed under the same part number as the modern baseplates. I wonder how both the old and new ones will be listed together then, though that for the moment the old one is only available as "used". Quote

My bad.... the 230, 231 and 232 Homemaker sets have square corners... but the 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 268, 269, 5233 and 5235 Homemaker sets all have rounded corners.... http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?S=261-4 Quote
antp Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Indeed, and that round-corner plate is a 24x32, not 32x32 :) Quote

ACCURATEin Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Looking forward to the release! I usually go and purchase these modulars shortly after they become available. I just noticed the tan profile bricks, which I don't think i've seen before. Quote
pogie Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I am looking forward to this one as well. I love all of the modulars. Quote
Midnight Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I am really amazed with this next modular building and will definitely buy it when it comes out on March 1st. And after a while of staring and gazing that limousine is becoming more copable and I am really quite fond of it. On a down note, I looked on the LEGO website at the 360 degree turn for the model and the roof just looks very, very messy on the other side. I guess this shouldn't matter but it still makes me cringe a little. Quote
krumb Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This one looks really amazing. Thinking this would be a great project with my son. Quote

Aliu Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Hi friends, I do not know if it is metioned before but I have just found a review of this set on youtube. Here is the link: (Please note: I am new to EB community so if it is forbidden to share this kind of things, please warn me(-:) Quote

That is a bit of a shame as I thought double VIP points started on March 1st. I guess I will just buy Palace Cinema on February 14th as I want it as soon as possible, and the points were the incentive to wait Quote

Here is the link: (Please note: I am new to EB community so if it is forbidden to share this kind of things, please warn me(-:) I saw that video a few days ago. Could not believe the guy was able to get the set early like that. Anyway, I really like the design and look forward to purchasing one -- on sale would be even better.

rubberninja Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) I can't find the 14th february VIP deal. Even when I login as VIP it says available on March 1st. I confirmed the early VIP promotion at my local lego store last week. They said they will only have a limited amount of the sets in for the early release so make sure you act accordingly if you want to guarantee getting one. The rep i usually interact with when making purchases said they would have around 35 of them available. Edited February 12, 2013 by rubberninja Quote
BrettBrick Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Will this 14th feb release be available online or only in shops? I ask as Australia does not have a Lego shop at all. Quote
cimddwc Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Store Newsletter (German) says it will be available online, too. Quote
GRogall Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Will this 14th feb release be available online or only in shops? I ask as Australia does not have a Lego shop at all. -snip- VIP members may purchase the set starting on February 14th. S@H and Lego Brand Stores! I believe my statement is very clear! Edited February 13, 2013 by GRogall Quote
BrettBrick Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Well since new Zealand and Australia are ahead if the rest of the world in time hopefully we can order it first. We any pick them up in store because we don't have Lego shops but we can order on line. Quote
BrettBrick Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Well it is the 14th in Australia and its not up for purchase online just yet. Quote
SwissBrick Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Dear All, Are we sure that there will be double VIP points in march? Humm shall I wait? Since I am new to the VIP program, how much does that represent, if I get double VIP on the Palace Cinema, how much cheaper would I get the next purchase, would it be around 10 dollars or less? Thanks a lot for your help! Quote
Stefano Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) well one euro is one punt, and the palace cinema costs 139.99 euros, so with double points you will get 278 points and 100 points are 5 euros worth so you will get 10 euros atleast... dunno if the 78 points give you anything ..... Edited February 13, 2013 by Stefano Quote
SwissBrick Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks a lot Stefano! I think I will wait then, and try to use the double VIP program for other purchases as well! Have a nice evenning. Quote
