If you redeem your VIP points during the double VIP promotion period do you still get VIP points on the full product price or only on the balance that you pay?

I'm trying every 5 mins or so,still happening. It's really frustrating, how annoying!!

VIZ TIP OF THE DAY... Rather than waiting for an email from LEGO, why not just browse this forum every 5 minutes until a 2x VIP is posted.

I'm wondering if anyone has asked and received a discount when spending a lot of money at a Lego store?

Haha 100% no! Unless you go on a special AFOL day you won't get special discounts

No need to rush as the dreadful Ewok Village will still be available even at 50% off! The most I've even seen on decent sets was 10% off which was back in the good old days when you could order 99x R2-D2 if you wanted to. Any fool knows that a set with a worthwhile discount will be either sold out or limited to 1.

​At least one of the people I mentioned who it had worked for got nowhere with the first person they spoke to, but had more joy when calling back and trying someone else. Maybe worth a second try...

I've given this a go too as picked up a couple of bits at the weekend not realising it started yesterday.. doh!

Now to get the Batcave :smiley:

EDIT: That was quick.. no luck on adding points :disappointed:

That's assuming that The Ewok Village and The Sandcrawler aren't retired by May.

​It takes about 2 years usually before a UCS set is retired sometimes more. I wouldn't worry about it. The Slave 1 is insanely popular and Lego won't throw away a cash cow, look at how long the Death Star set lasted. lol

​Spoke to the manager in the local Lego shop. He said 10% drop on Slave 1 and Tie Fighter, 15 - 20 on normal sets and 15 on Ewok Village and Sandcrawler.

No point in posting this as VIPs get an email from LEGO anyway. However, I just ordered a Slave I as it's being retired this Summer with 3% Quidco. Be careful when using another account to send restricted sets to the same address as LEGO are banning people suspected of reselling at a profit AND they'll lose any built-up VIP points! LEGO staff watch this website and eBay like a hawk.

Anyone else having difficult purchasing on the website? I'm getting to entering card details yet no box appears to enter them and the "next button" is greyed out, any thoughts?

worst free gift. IMO, easter man chicken

It looks OK when I've seen it in-store, but with the sides closed it's just a big brown box....

Might just buy Brick Bank instead.

I emailed Lego a few weeks ago asking about this event as I know it is usually around Easter. I can confirm that the points have been tracking since midnight. Got my order in

I can't decide whether to go for the Ghostbusters Firehouse or the UCS Sandcrawler....

I've already got £15 in vip points so the question is buy the slave 1 now or wait until it's discounted on May 4th hmm

A decent freebie would push me into buying something now, but the chicken guy figure is just meh.

Great just after my sandcrawler arrived. balls.

It's probably the best UCS Star Wars set. Comes with 3 minifigures and Han Solo in Carbonite

This is not that great a deal anyway surely, I understand if your maybe buying exclusives, it's free money but even with double points it's a measly £5 off 100 spend? All the usual stuff you can buy cheaper else where - Lego shop buyers please correct me if wrong?
