I stopped by the local Lego Store and they had no idea of the promotion, but they pulled up the site and had the same result. Unfortunately I purchased the T1 months ago and as much as I'd like the poly to go along with it, it's not worth another one. The minibus is easy enough to build out of spare parts (except for the VW logo).

Strange. It says "This is a promotional item and is not available for sale." when you get to the product page of set 40079, however it has a price tag and a sale price tag. Was it being on sale ever?

I don't think it was ever available for sale on its own. Most likely they have to attach some sort of monetary value to the item, even though they intend to give it away for free, so that at the end of the year they can account for it in their Profit & Loss statement.

mine shipped today, too, with all 4 items listed. And yeah, all promotional items always have a value attached. It's often listed in the fine print somewhere.

Got my shipping notice this morning too. Patiently waiting for the 23rd (darn Fedex!)

Looks like the poly is still in stock so this hidden promo hasn't been communicated out too far.

So Spaceman promo is still live as well even though it's the 17th. If the Spaceman, Chima, and VW bus poly are still active on Oct. 1, does that mean you also get the 2x VIP and elf set? That's 5 promos for one purchase.

That's what I'm hoping for too.

If the Mini V1 Camper is still in stock on Oct. 1st, I will re-purchase the set and get the new promos along with double VIP.

All I have to do is keep my first order sealed... :-| It's not easy having a big set sitting in a room waiting to be built.

Assuming you re-order can you simply return the initial order/promos to your local Lego store?

Yes but unlikly, they are sending the Chima polybags out to Target, and the spaceman I believe it will either be gone by then, or they will simply put a price tag and sell it instead. So my guess is, if the VW poly is still around, it will be that the winter 1 of 2 and 2x VIP points. But I can be wrong and we end up with 5, yet I have never see or heard that ever happen before.

Normally I would agree but looks like no one is placing orders this month because they are waiting until next month. So maybe the Spaceman will last through next month.

If I end up reordering the van and promos on Oct 1st, I'll return my original Van + promos too. I open all my stuff so no big deal to have a 2nd van poly anyway.

Since the Spaceman poly is 1 per household, the promo does not appear in my cart anymore. I wonder if that will get fixed once I return the items?

Got my package today, and sure enough it had the Van poly in it. And the Chima poly. But missing the Spaceman. I called CS though and they said it would be sent right away. So looks like they hold a small amount of leftover promo product for replacements.

Awesome, glad they sent it to you!

I received my van today, and it had all 3 bonus items. I gave away my previous Spaceman promo to a friend so I was glad to see this one arrive.

Same here, my Spaceman promo was also missing. Glad Lego's CS is impeccable.
