Easter promotions at shop.LEGO.com

No percentage off deals for Australian customers. Just triple points and mini VW Beetle.

Of course these triple VIP points start a few days after those who couldn't wait to get the mini Beetle have placed their orders...

The 33% off Disney Princess sets seems to be UK only. No such discount in Germany.

@cimddwc: Exactly :|

wow, am I glad I held off on buying the Silent Mary. Now I know when I should do it. ^^

Yes ordered the Silent Mary on Wednesday and now tripple points... i called Lego and they cannot arrange anything. That sucks...

@merman: Cancel order en re-order?

Triple points....hmmmm for my UCS purchase this year do I order the TIE fighter (75095) at 15% off or do I wait for the Snowspeeder, and wait for a future double/triple or do I wait for September and hope by some miracle there is a new MF.
The Disney Princess discounts on the new sets is good, add in triple points and equivalent on the discounted price, and effectively getting them at 40-45% off the original retail price.

Unfortunately I too have already made a small order. Was this known beforehand?

@fred157: the retiring sets are listed in the store with 10% off for a while now (at least a week); the Mini Beetle was announced in the store calendars. But I haven't seen any information on the triple points before.
They also seem to have lowered the free shipping threshold. At least on the Swedish LEGO.com it's only 200SEK (instead of the usual 600SEK) till April 9th. (but you need to spend 400SEK to get the Beetle).

Wish the US was getting some of these. :(

Well, that's me finally caving and buying the Disney Castle :D

Wow! Triple VIP Points plus a free mini Beetle? Thank the good Lord we finally have a closing day on selling our old house!! Now I will not be refused my Brick Bank!

Wait... so no triple VIP Points in the US :( I guess that's why it didn't show more points when I added Brick Bank to Checkout. That is a big boo llama!

Hmm. Silent Mary and a mini VW Beetle and 3x VIPs? Why not! :-)

My order with mini Beetle arrived yesterday. Customer Services knew nothing of the 3xVIP starting today. Wasn't publicised. Grrrrr

Does anyone know if 3xVIP applies in stores too? Visiting a store next week

^^ Done :-)

How about Lego US site? No Triple VIP points???

Is there any precedent to a triple points offer? I've only ever seen double points. I'm not sure I can really justify one of the exclusive sets I want this month, but if the offer isn't coming back...

Where are the North American deals, LEGO?!

And as usual, the site is so slow, any attempt to pay with PP fails.

@mr_skinny

Yep, triple points in the store I went to. I wandered into Westfield Stratford today just browsing and there's a sticker on the door.

Wow, triple points is a great deal! I'm jealous of the Europe/UK lego fans, but also illogically glad this doesn't apply to US, since I just ordered Silent Mary last week, lol.

There also appears?to be a promotion on at least in the UK where you can get 30352 police car. I spent £38 on city police and got it added to my basket.

Yeah triple points!! But why did I order the Silent Mary last night :( :( If only I'd known...

Cheers @Taco Bill

And once again, those in the US get screwed. I would have easily dropped a few hundred picking up some wanted large sets today if I could have earned triple points. I love Lego, but today I hate them.

LEGO's definitely showing that "US favoritism" that everyone from other countries complain about...

Seriously though, where are the US deals?

There was a trile points in the US like 4-5 years ago, but not since. I keep hoping though!

Sure, why not. Triple points. After freaking 4 orders placed within the last 72 hours. Cheers.

To SpidermanLM339: Seriously, where are the US deals? I live in CZE, cca 25 km from the biggest Lego EU factory.. would you believe that we have ZERO, virtually ZERO official Lego stores in the country?? Probably not! .. so when I was reading about all these Batman Movie chasings around the store, finding hidden items etc.. that was something totally unheard of around here.. on the other hand you can still order e.g. Xmas Train 2016 in US SAH Lego store - in Europe its gone for months.. so each continent has something..

Now is your time to buy the Disney Castle for example.
290 points originally, but with the triple points, that's a staggering 870 points! (£40!)

Today is one of those days that I LOVe being an american living in Germany (at least in the Lego world.) If the NA site has a good deal I can buy Lego and have it shipped to an American Post address. If the EU site is having a good deal I can either drive the 30 min and get it there, OR just have them ship it to my physical address. Also, since I'm not actually german and can apply to not pay the VAT the physical store gives me 15% off! looks like I might pick up the last of the BLM sets this month!

jonmdudley - regarding your VAT.. how did you come up with 15 percent off? If Im not mistaken Mwst in Germany is either 19 or 20 %, not sure right now. Also in order to be able to make any purchase without VAT being charged, you have to be either foreign enterpreneur or business or you have to fill for at the customs for VAT refund while LEAVING the Germany. So in the first place you still have to pay the VAT sum. and the VAT request cant be longer than XX days..

Looks like the min VW Beetle is sold out at Shop at Home US. I dallied a bit too long on my online order, it seems.

I guess we fall under UK; the 33% deal is also available in Ireland.
Not that I'm interested in any of the sets on offer...

When are Triple Points coming to US?

Considering how much the sets are priced at the pound compared to the dollar, plus VAT, UK always deserves some love. However, I definitely would be getting the Death Star and Minecraft Village if triple points were offered here in the US.

...it's just to tempt people to buy something now, as well as the May 4th promo. Triple points is nice, but I have pretty much everything I want right now!

Crayxmp - the 15% is because the lego store hat I go to does not do it the normal way. I work for the US government and part of the agreement for being in the country is that we can purchase items without the 19% VAT with a form. rather than go through the process of filling out, and processing, the form the lego store closest to me just offers a straight 15% off to those that show the form and proper ID.

In the UK is Vat included in the price? I know that in Germany what you see is what you pay, As someone who lived in the states this is something that I am going to miss when we go back.

jonmdudley - aah! that explains it. Normally it works only using that VAT refund form on the customs.

Yeah. Its the best of both worlds. Ive also bought a few sets in other countries, just smaller ones just to say that I have bought a set in Latvia, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic so far.

*Cough*Revan. I daresay the US will get a VIP promotion soon enough - just be patient and don't buy anything big until it comes!
