40688 Trophy is also available in the US:

> $65 and over. Valid with themes: LEGO® City, Classic, Friends, NINJAGO® and DREAMZzz™

Is this the only set that is a tribute to the person's work, and not the person?

AU240 pounds? Don't you mean dollars?

Appears to also be available with pre-orders, e.g. The Great Deku Tree.

Arguably 40291 is similar. Otherwise not really, though there are variations in titles.

@Huw: 40688 is called "Trophy Award" on the box and the website (US at least), rather than just "Trophy".

Does it also become available when you order a Bricklink Designer set, even though those wouldn't be charged and shipped for months to come?

Bagged this just after midnight with the Eldorado Fortress; I’ve got quite a nice collection of Lego books now.

nope, sorry

Managed to grab both the trophy and the JV tribute. Hit the 1p under barrier again (despite what has been said in the past, 1p under on the UK site doesn't trigger the GWP - it might work elsewhere in the world) so had to jiggle a few of the sets I had on my wanted list. That's what happens when you set thresholds at full amounts and all your prices at 1p under....of course that's maybe purely coincidence... :-0

Ordered 60440 and 31158 to get both GWPs. There's also 30665 available here as an Insiders Reward.

@Huw Aussies stopped using the pound in 1966. :)

(check Jules Verne prices)

None for me, I've spent far more than enough on Lego this month ( Barad-Dûr, 2* bricklink mushroom house, the entire star wars wave minus the mech, 2 JP sets and the small Minecraft camel set).

I have a feeling there might be quite a few Yellow Trophies with Yellow Delivery Trucks!

The US Lego site says that the promo ends 6/23/24. Seems to only be a 3 day promo.

Probably gonna pick up both tomorrow. Good excuse to grab myself the new Senna set as well as the excavator and some road plates!

As is usual for me, I had a fairly large PaB order waiting in my bag for a decent GWP. To this I added a HP set that retires this year: 76422 and also 60424 because it is a cheap way to get Johnny Thunder and the brown panda. I did not get the trophy award set though and It does not bother me one bit. Often time, I try to get two of these (tribute) GWPs but since this minifig is extremely generic, one will suffice.

$150 threshold? Helm gnaw I'll pass on that

Ensure you throw in an in-stock keychain or something available to ensure they ship the GWP in advance of the pre-order :)

Good point! Thank-you for that excellent tip!! :-)

I think it's ridiculous that it's only valid with those themes.

I just placed a large order during the recent double Insiders points event, and will be getting 10338 when it becomes available, so it's off to the secondary market I go!

I don't have this one (yet, see previous comment re: secondary market), but I have 21315, 40291, and 40410, so I'm getting a decent collection myself.

For 3 days it's exclusive to Insiders, then anyone can get it."
Even @StyleCounselor?

Ha.

So far, so good. Order's in from last night and confirmed.

Haven't had time to call CS about Barad-dur, again (for the 4th time). No response from last two CS agents who promised to investigate the mattter.

Lego are winding you up.... Bumblebee now available to pre-order in the UK... but not the US!

40688 seems to be out of stock in the EU already.

You know what outfit I like to put on before I call Lego Customer Service?.... aw, nevermind. :(

Why not 'De la terre à la lune'?
Not convinced about this one. Holding off on my to buy list.
The GWP's are stuck in a rut for a while now.

The trophy 40688 is a little disappointing for of all things the sticker sheet, which surely can be printed for different regions and their spelling differences.
there is a sticker for number 1 Mom which is spelt Mum in places like Australia.
Sets with locations themed within areas that spell it Mom that's fine to include, but for sets such as this that a child might award it to their mother it should be spelt correct to them.
