Re: Target In-Store Pick up $10 off $40

:what?: All of the item have to be eligible for in store picked for the discount to apply. That is how the promotion reads, but as long as 1 $10+ set is purchased that is eligible for in store pick up, the discount applies even if the other sets are mailed to you. It worked for me using the red car...

Re: Rapunzel at the Market spotted at Target

I went to a local Target in Queens, NY hoping to find the polybag but didn't. I did see a sign next to the princess sets about getting Rapunzel for free with a Princess set purchase. Maybe eventually the polybag will be available separately?

Re: [Giveaway] The LEGO Movie Polybags

Favorite set is the Super Cycle Chase because this will be the closest we'll get to an official LEGO version of the Akira bike.

Re: LEGO Black Friday 2013 VIP Early Access (USA & Canada)

My orders shipped and all VIP points registered. Are they still including the LEGO employee in orders?

Re: VIP Exclusive Holiday Shopping Event 2013

I suppose 3x VIP points vs 10% off + 1x VIP points comes out to the same 15% off, but the former guarantees all that savings will be going back to LEGO in the future. Smart.

I'm in the US and I can confirm that the checkout has triple VIP points + the set holiday set. No 10% off. :(

Re: No Discounts Policy on LEGO Exclusives & Hard to Find It

I think in previous Black Friday sales, LEGO offered 10% off $149+ sets. Do you think they will now exclude certain sets as well from the sale? I'm looking into getting the modular buildings.

Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway

I love these type of books, which are great for casual browsing. It's much easier to look at figures from a book than clicking through a web page. I would definitely purchase this book. Does anyone know how it compares to the previous Standing Small book?

1) Olivia because her hair is brown like my daughter's.

Re: Mr.Gold LEGO Minifigure Picture (71001 Series 10)

Wasn't there a rumor that they will continue with these rare items in series 11? Maybe it'll just go on and on. Mrs. Gold? Gold Jr? Princess Gold? Pretty soon they will need to start their own GOLD series. It'll be like the Smurfs, but gold. Wait, isn't there a way to turn smurfs into gold?

What's the deal with the golden lightsaber? A cane I can understand but a sword? I guess he earns his money the old fashion way: he slaughters his enemies for it.

I don't think the purchase needs to be TMNT-related to get the keychain. I just bought a friends set and it comes with the keychain.

Re: 10% in store Lego coupon in catalog

If I requested a catalog and didn't get a coupon, does it make sense to request another one? Coupons are only attached to catalogs sent to addresses within 50 miles of a lego store so if you are out of the 50 mile radius requesting another will not do any good. There are 7 stores within 50 miles of...

Re: VIP Exclusive Collectible Minifigure Set

Pretty disappointed with the original fisherman with the yellow color of the overalls not matching the yellow of the pants. It looks like they didn't improve on this, so perhaps they are just burning through surplus.

Re: VIP Exclusive Minifigure Set Revealed

The fisherman?! Of my collection, I was most disappointed with the fisherman due to yellow color in the overalls not even close to matching the yellow of his legs. Worse, the yellow printing doesn't even extend to the bottom edge of this upper body, leaving a blue horizontal divider between the over...

Re: Minifigures: normal to have duplicate parts?

Coincidentally, CMF3 and above require the bag contents to be identify by feel, so I'm imagining stores everywhere filled with people squeezing those delicate parts. I can totally understand if a user loses or breaks a part and LEGO expects them to just buy a replacement pack. But I would be annoyed...

Re: Minifigures: normal to have duplicate parts?

On another website, I saw a content photo of the S1 Space Man and it had two visors as well. Either LEGO thought the visors were easy to break while in the package... or perhaps the (new?) Chinese manufacturing facility was still error prone with very small parts so it was better to give two with th...
