Hang in there I got CS Sibin to sort it out was able to get the Star Wars Tantive IV and Atlantis Neptune Carrier for $151 with taxes no shipping after about 10min not to painful had to place the order first and she applied the discount after.... good luck, and typing with links is probably easier than the trying to use the phone.
Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
Madhan from CS told me "I’m sorry for the trouble you had applying the Lego promotion. I've reported this to our technical team, and they're working on taking care of it.. Please try placing the order later today.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
We'll see how they fix it. He said the promotion will run for one or two more days and they have "enough stock".

Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
My Amazon story...
I spent 25 minutes chatting with Sudhir and finally gave up. It was a fiasco -- he wouldn't accept that they had a system error.
A few minutes later I tried again, and I spoke with Mahender. He was at least polite, but I kindly said goodbye after we went in circles for 10 minutes.
I tried again and talked to "Taryn" who was much more professional. She acknowledged that they had a system error and that the marketing department was "working on it" and to try back in 24 hours. She wouldn't accept an order, but insisted instead that I try tomorrow.
Not having experienced enough pain (and fearing that by tomorrow the sets would be sold out), I tried one last time. I got Gaurav. He said that very many people were contacting them regarding this broken promotion (or perhaps a few people, many times each? ). In any case, he suggested that I place my order and that they would refund 25% after the order shipped. So, I placed an order for $2,708.89 (5 x Fire Brigade, 5 x Tantive and a few others), and was told to expect a refund of $677.22.
Score!

Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
I got Erin when I called. She was aware of the problem with the Lego discount. She put me on hold for a few minutes and then told me she would make sure I got the discount applied when I was charged for the items. I placed the order - a few Fire Brigades and Tantive IVs - and gave her the order number. She then Emailed me less than a minute later :)
Nice also that there wasn't much of a wait when I called Amazon. Overall, it went pretty well. As long as I get the 25% discount, I'm very happy!

Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
Score!! It looks like Amazon fixed it, the deal now works WITHOUT having to call CS. Just add any two (or more) from the list (could even be two of the same item). I think the best two are the Fire Brigade (http://goo.gl/lb3RU)and the SW Tantive IV (http://goo.gl/dGIfJ).
Probably the best deal this holiday..wohoo...all these deals are making everyone poor...

Just tried it and yes, a discount was showing up on the checkout area, but for $4.50? Did other combos and it was the same - $4.50

The deal is sort of working. You only want to order two items at a time because it's only giving you 25% off the two least expensive sets in your cart. Be careful.

Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
Ah, I figured it out, right now it's buy one get one 50% off when you have two or more items in your cart. (applied to lowest price item)
Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
Looks like you can place multiple orders.
I just spent WAY too much money!

Haha...too bad Amazon doesn't issue excuse notes with their shipments huh?
Chalk it up to Toys N Bricks...maybe the slogan should be changed during the holiday season to, "Making you rich in bricks and leaving your wallet empty one deal at a time."
Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
5x fb + 5x tant iv = $1049. might want a second look in that order since with the refund, it's still $2.1k.GruetzmacherD wrote:So, I placed an order for $2,708.89 (5 x Fire Brigade, 5 x Tantive and a few others), and was told to expect a refund of $677.22.

Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
I picked up 2 fire brigades. Now the big question in my mind is: how do I get the package in the house without my wife seeing it! Way way too many great LEGO sales this season. Not that I am complaining! Thanks everyone for working out the kinks in this offer!
Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
Looks like the deal's been pulled. Got a Tantive and Fire Brigade for $210 shipped! Amazing.
Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
Congrats to those that got a good deal but with all the finagling involved I think the offer wasn't set up or managed well.l44l44 wrote:Looks like the deal's been pulled. Got a Tantive and Fire Brigade for $210 shipped! Amazing.

Phew. I wanted some of the sets they had on sale, but I think the GF would have killed me if I bought any more big sets.l44l44 wrote:Looks like the deal's been pulled.
Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
the deal 'seemed' to be working fine this morning when I ordered my fire brigades. However it was not 25% of the total, but a Buy one get one 50% off. (the deal is expired now tho)

Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
I am kind of glad they pulled the deal. Just knowing it was still out there made me find weird ways to rationalize buying even MORE LEGO. You know, thinking of MOC's where I need a lot of ostriches from the PoP sets. :)

Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
The buy one get one half off deal just worked for me. I got 2 fire bridgades for $224.98 with free shipping no tax. Discount was applied right before submitting order. Thanks for letting me know about the sale.
Re: Amazon has 25% Off Two or More Select LEGO
Working again, but as a buy one get one 50% off on those selected sets. Plus most of the prices have been raised somewhat (Fire Brigade now $150 instead of $140 last night).
