Restaurants of the World: Japan is a better choice than the Classic Animation Scenes set.
3rd time lucky grabbing 40774 Classic Animation Scenes which hadn't tallied with sets I wanted previously. Still impatiently awaiting the 3rd Restaurants of the World!
Almost skipped a beat when it said a Restaurant of the World was in another region!
I feel like we're due to see the 3rd instalment soon, aren't we?

It was just over a month between the first 2. Now 3 months since the second. I wish Lego still produced a monthly GWP calendar!
Personally, I'd wish that we never ever see a gwp coming back. Whenever Lego has too much of a given promotion, it should go directly to the reward center and people should be able to buy it with Lego points.
@sjr60 I definitely wish there would be a gwp calendar but I suppose that would somehow defeat the purpose - so now I just blindly postpone my purchases until something appealing enough show up. Last order was postponed a good 7 weeks because Lego kept recycling old gwps. I assume that in August things will start to pick quite a bit.

Ditto... several sets I'd like in August but GWPs that are repeats, star wars, football or friends will certainly delay any purchases!
Why is it region based?! I´d buy the restaurant was it possible, but no. Can´t do that. And when I was ready to spend my money on lego to get it, I can´t do that either... WHY?!

Presumably just stock that they've got left and are aiming to clear out in certain regions.
For anyone wanting to make a purchase in AU/NZ.... bad news. The floral picture frame 40916 is gone. Even the Animal Crossing polybag 30731 is gone. Sometime during today. Only less than 2 days of availability.
Sea Serpent was sold out in AU/NZ within 10 hours.
Lego REALLY needs to allocate more GWPs to Oceania!!
Reply to other commenters: Yes, this round Lego is just getting rid of the leftover stocks of previous GWPs. So it's region-specific. Apparently, Sushi Restaurant wasn't sold out during its release in March in North America only.
Too bad it wasn't the other restaurant in the US. I have Japan but missed the taco stand.
Fortunately, there’s only one of these that I actually want. Unfortunately, Pixar & Friends isn’t available in the US. Fortunately, I did secure a copy the first go around. But I would kinda like another Pixar ball from that set…or ten.

I’ve been watching how you guys get treated for a few years now. I’ll give this comment a Like. You deserve better.

Updates: I just checked both Lego.com at AU and NZ again. Surprisingly, both of the floral picture frame and the Animal Crossing polybag are available again. Very weird. I swear they were not available yesterday evening/this early morning for quite a few hours. I've tried multiple times putting items in cart to see if the GWPs were available. They were NOT. The promotion images were also taken down on the "Offers" page. But now they're back out of the blue.
I'll place a couple more orders soon. Who knows when the next time the GWP offers would disappear again and/or they'd actually be sold out. LEGO, please stop doing this. Messing around with the GWP offers for Oceania. We're already willing to pay for the minimum threshold to get some recurring GWPs which aren't exactly desirable.
I can't wait for TLG to start production on a GWP centered around our famous Dutch cuisine. It'll just be a truck selling fish. Half of it battered and deep-fried; the other half, raw. With onions.
"Here. Eat fish. It's good for you. Eat."
"Could you... maybe cook it first?"
"No. Eat up and go away."
"Could you maybe clean it? Rinse it off? Maybe chop the head off?"
"No. Chop your head off if you do not go away."
I cannot wait.
We want the Sea Serpent!!

"Give it to us raw... and wriggling!"

You might even say it’s €50 better!
