Two days left to secure the Winter Gazebo
Posted by Huw,
It was remiss of me not to inform you until now that 40778 Winter Gazebo, the first of two seasonal GWPs that are being offered during December, is a gift with purchase at LEGO.com until tomorrow.
It's free with purchases over £135 / €150 / $150 and, additionally, 40704 Micro NINJAGO Docks will be added to your basket as well, as an unadvertised gift. I don't think those micro Ninjago sets were too successful if they are now resorting to giving them away...
40777 Celebration Series: Gingerbread Train Ornament is the next one, and it'll probably be offered from Wednesday.

I keep hearing about this Ninjago freebie but it hasn't appeared on the GB site whenever I've ordered or visited recently. I know The US was giving one plus the maze set for a while and Europe had some but not seen them here Huw.
Gazebo looks nice, but I've already got like 15 unopened sets of various sizes and not much room where to keep any others :( Guess I'll have to bricklink this one sometime.
The threshold for the NinJago set was really low too. I added a Brickheadz pack for £35 and it was added.

It was showing in my basket earlier in the weekend, but disappeared on Sunday.
Seems to have reappeared this morning ;-)
Appearing with only £59.99, SW Executor in basket too
It's actually £135 threshold for the gazebo.
Ahhh...just realised it only appears when you're logged in. The Ninjago set doesn't appear in a 'normal' bag it seems. Shame it didn't appear when I made my last 2 orders but c'est la vie.
The micro Ninjago set that is added has been changing up for the last few days - 3 of the 4 have made an appearance up to now that I've seen.

I would have liked the maze, but I'll sell the microscale Ninjago I think. I wasn't planning on getting anything else, so many sets on back order until after Christmas, but I like these gwps so I'm gonna have to.
I've seen that there might be double points next with the train ornament too.
There is also supposed to be 2x insider points in all sets, from wednesday 10th to sunday 14th
The gazebo's too nice to pass on if you're into Winter Village sets. There wasn't much else that I wanted after Black Friday, but the Holiday Express and the discounted Mini Disney Castle were just enough to get the gazebo and Ninjago GWPs, so I caved... They got me again.
I ordered Ghost and Phantom II yesterday and am getting the Gazebo and Micro Ninjago City for free.
The Gazebo will be a nice addition to my winter village.

It spending threshold is 20
40704 is now the bonus, city was available for half a day
Decided on not getting it. The christmas tree is unneeded inside the gazebo and two out of three minifigures have those pesky small legs. Hot Chocolate stand was much better.

"I would've gotten (away with) it, if it wasn't for those pesky kids..."
Ninjago set has dropped off again for today…
The gazebo looks neat, but I don't have $150 of wanted sets that I can justify right now. So maybe one day I'll bricklink it or maybe can even build it from spare parts. I'd have to look at the inventory sometime.
If nobody wants the ninjago minis, can I have them all?
Lego giveth and then they taketh away...
The Ninjago minis mustn't have been too popular since they aren't even advertising them as promo items, they are just adding them to the carts unasked.
Yeah, I was super surprised when Micro Ninjago City appeared in my 25$ bag. But hey, I'll take it!
So does anyone want to place bets on whether the Ninjago micro sets will still be randomly appearing during the next promo period, assuming there will be 2x VIP points as well? Seems like it would be oddly generous of modern-day LEGO to do so....
It's really weird why these micro Ninjago sets didn't sell. I found them more interesting then the Houses of the World GWP series for example.
I was able to collect all 4 micro ninjago city sets. Starting from 12/3 , every 2 days they change the micro ninjago sets. 12/3 garden, 12/5 market 12/6 city 12/8 dock. Threshold was $20 and even pre-order worked. Although I just didn't want to happen out of stock when my pre-order ship, I just added small set in stock to ship my micro city right away.
Lego is genius. I was tempted to spend extra $260 unplanned for Micro ninjago city sets!!!
I already have all the Ninjago Micro sets so I don't need to spend now to try to get them all. Did anyone actually get the fleece blanket added to their order the other day? I read they had added that also but when I tried it wasn't showing up in my cart so it must have gone fast. I don't know what the buy in was for it since the article didn't say.
Not seen any Micro Ninjago City sets in Australia, which sucks as we get most of our Lego from retail stores during their sales so it's hard to build up enough VIP points to buy them from the Insiders center :(
Edit : the micro sets have gone from the insiders center at the moment too just to add insult to injury!
