You might try going to the store and ask them to order the train from lego.com. Better that even odds that the staff at my closest store would then give you the calendar, and the gingerbread house would be shipped with the train.grommom wrote:So are there any benefits of shopping on the 27th?

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
Little bit disappointed of the event. Only one gingerbread house per VIP today, doesn't matter how much you spent.

If you buy things online you can get the Lego Movie set the Melting Room for half price. Its not advertised and will only show up if you put in your cart. You will not get the calendar as that is in store only, but you still get the gingerbread house if you buy $99 or more. Plus double VIP points.

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
well that sucks. some of the lego store managers are just mean. when i went to mine i had a couple stuff i wanted to buy and they were all in batches of $99. they say regardless only 1 gingerbread house. The manager then told me someone bought $1200 worth of legos and only got 1 gingerbread house. no exception even if i buy more than him. WOW. he even says our fans have the buying power so we wont give them extras. i should have recorded qhat he said. lolxsqlplus wrote:Lego store laval is not stacking calendar and ginger bread!

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
Got 2x VIP, calendar and house. SWEEEEEET. Stupid that some lego stores are giving customers a hard time over calendar vs house.
Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
I didn't have any trouble making two separate purchases and received two wall calendars and gingerbread houses. For what it's worth, I was under the impression that the calendar was only being offered today, but in the December store calendar they gave me, it confirms that offer is good from Nov 15th through Dec 24th (or while supplies last).RyanKC wrote:Little bit disappointed of the event.

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
My local LEGO store gave me no trouble stacking both the calendar and the gingerbread house. They had quite the stack of houses behind the counter!

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
My store is out of gingerbread houses already. They gave me a calendar for free and told me to order online.

Well santa's visit is sold out.
Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
The Lego store I went to allowed a max of three gingerbread houses and calendars per customer. Plus, didn't need to have separate transactions to get the freebies. So, I purchased around $300 and got three gingerbread houses and three calendars.
Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
nooooooo, went to order the Sydney Opera House and it's temporarily out of stock :(
Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
Thanks @StClair and @spaceviking
I didn't have time to go today because we went to Legoland but on the 27th I'll ask about it in the store. I'm hoping the calendar is better than double points since the train I'm looking for is $109. I read somewhere that it had one coupon for 100 points so i imagine it's better unless I forget to use the coupon :)

I was going to wait until the 27th but, I'm glad I didn't.
Since I was able to get 40125 Santa’s Visit before it sold out.
I ordered the Slave I as well and used a boat load of my VIP points all in all I just spend about $24.
Not a bad deal.
I will keep an eye out for BF deals though.

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
Went to the Invite-only VIP Event and was overwhelmed compared to previous 3 events I've been invited to. Did get a Gingerbread House and Calender with a $99 purchase.
No VIP lanyard or bracelet
No swag
No 2015 Ornament
And also seems no holiday PaB box available now.
Hope they will have more Gingerbread Houses come the 27th. or even 2015 ornaments come Dec. 7th.

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
I was able to place an order online and received (on its way to me I hope) a gingerbread house and double Vip points (no calendar bc it was online). I wish the offer had been after the Doctor Who ideas set was available (Dec 1st) but still I'm happy. Thanks as always for keeping us updated everyone!
Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!
So I happened to be by the mall and I checked, there didn't appear to be a train so I asked and they found me one in the back, but I had to have them put it back because they had no gingerbread houses. He told me they'd have them for the 27th but they didn't have any available until then. I guess I'll head back on Friday but at least they do carry the train, he just said it's so large they often don't have it on the floor so people have to ask...but then I wonder, do many people know they have it in stock if they don't put it out? So strange.
