Thank you for posting this! I might have to purchase the Emerald Night from LEGO Shop, just because there are these free gifts. Edit: Oh wait, I forgot this was a store calendar. Do you think some of these promos will also qualify in the online orders?

Usually they do. Double VIP points should be S@H as well as in-store. The Brick Apple promo probably as well. Not sure about the Fire Chief promo for Club members.

Agreed. I think this promo will be a hit. Notice it says "1 of 2", and that the 2nd part will be during Black Friday weekend in November.

I see they finally have a date for the San Diego store opening. It's a shame these new grand opening events will continue to have the minifig exclusives. I was hoping (and was told by a LEGO marketing person) they would switch back to the locale tailored mini build bags.

Thanks, I didn't see that until I zoomed in. I wonder if the second part will be another set? Or will the first part be the wall and the second is the tree?

Thanks for the heads up...October is going to be an expensive month indeed, I'm sort of glad I know about this now so I can skip some of the September promos. The Club Meeting is Star Wars? My daughter will flip!

So if I spen a $100 on the 17th, would I get both the Apple and the Holiday set or do you only get one or is it up to the sales person?

Between the Lego Store and TRU's Bricktober, I'm in trouble!

Awesome month. Looks like I'm going to wait until October 17th to get the camper van! I'll pick up the post office earlier in the month for the apple set.

Also, for those in Florida and California: free admission to LEGOLAND California or Florida between October 24 and 30! Adults included. Must show VIP card, voucher (print online) and ID. Two free admissions per household, no purchase necessary.

I don't know - I would think if they had two promos overlapping, as long as you meet the requirements for both you should get both, right? It probably depends on manager discretion.

Maybe I'm mistaken here... It says double VIP points all month on all purchases? But then why do they specifically call out the SW sets at the bottom as if they're special?

It's surprising that they're advertising the Stamp Design Challenge in the OCTOBER calender when the contest ends in SEPTEMBER!!! :sad: :eek:

My geuss is they're just doing some extra advertising for LEGO Star Wars. But it's probably not an extra offer. :-D

They did this over the summer with a sweepstakes type item for a free trip to Legoland. The contest ended August 1st and it was on the August calendar. I think it's becuase they issue the calendar one month before so people will be looking at it the prior month, but I agree it doesn't make a ton of sense.

Looks like I'll be spending a lot of money at the Lego store in October.

Can't beat the double VIP points and the free stuff with purchases to bad there's no free shipping to go along with it. I guess this means some trips to the local Lego store at least twice anyway.

Free shipping is this month - so S@H orders in September, physical LEGO Store trips in October ;)

Since my store sold out of the microplane poly in a few days (Sept promo), I think I need to go October 1st to get the apple and on the 17th to get the holiday set as I'm not convinced they'll have both promos available at the same time.
