Free 5005156 Gingerbread Man in December

Neato burrito.

I found the Easter minfig at Toys-R-Us, I wonder if this guy will pop up there too.

Oh look, yet another re-release. Quite the recurring theme this year; what is going on?

This made me hungry, wonder if I will order anything by December as I am only interested in pieces and the next wave of RO sets.

UK gets this with any spend over £25 from December 11th-20th
Snow globe offer is any spend over £60 from Nov 25th to Dec 10th

YES!

I'm glad for this as it's a pretty spendy minifigure these days and will go perfectly with the gingerbread house from last year.

I'm happy to have a chance to get this guy, as I wasn't yet back into LEGO when he was available. Sure am glad I didn't already spend a bunch of money for him. While I agree that this Minifig doesn't equal last year's Gingerbread House, I'm still more disappointed that the 2017 LEGO Wall Calendar doesn't have any coupons.

Sorry if this is off topic.
I noticed you added a set based off the Disney movie "Moana" to the database, is there an announcement article coming for that?

Really cool :)

Weren't the last few years' free items a full set? This year we just get one re-released minifigure?

They're hardly "collectible" minifigures if TLG just keeps re-releasing all the good ones.

They're hardly re-releasing "all the good ones", there are Many Many good ones... :P Plus, "collectable minifigures" or CMFs is the name we collectors have given them, the theme is actually just called "LEGO Minifigures", series whatever. ;)

Disappointing, why don't they rerelease a figure from way, way back, something that would be more appealing to more people?

The free full set this year is the Snowglobe. Here are the US Holiday offers I pieced together from the store calendars:

NOV 1-15 FREE 5004420 Nutcracker Ornament w/$50
NOV 19-20 DBL VIP Points
NOV 25-28 FREE 40223 Snowglobe w/$99
NOV 28- DEC 11 FREE Calendar w/$75
DEC 10-11 DBL VIP Points
DEC 12-18 FREE 5005156 Gingerbread Man w/$50

I love when people complain about releases when we have had like two sets released in the last 10 years and a few released mini figures as give aways. If people don't want some Star Wars Raven rerelease then maybe they wouldn't have run out in 6 hours.

I am looking forward to the release easter bunny in 2017. I only have one and he's outrageously expensive.

I bought this minifig few months ago to put in on shelves with gingerbread house for Christmas period. It was expensive! Today it's given for free. Good for lot of customers but I would prefer to get an additional small winter set offered instead of this fig. :/
However, I will spend some money to the nearest store to get mine! This minifigs is a "must have"! :)

I am looking forward to the snow globe. It's is the data Base on this site if people want to look.

I have had my eye on the globe since it went into the database. can't wait.

@Huw,
According to the UK store catalogue linked above there's a "Free Lego Star Wars Rebel A-Wing Pilot for an Start Wars purchase of £25" from 11-31/12 too.
