I’m setting alarms now. I don’t want to miss this one. :o)

I wonder what the threshold will be in Denmark?

Tick tick ticking down to midnight. Still deciding between the Porsche and Sesame Street, but the Porsche will likely be around longer, so will probably wait on that for later.

@greenhorn - good idea

@huw - please make this article private ASAP! :o)

I could see the threshold in Canada being $125 or more since Lego value this set at $27CAD

I am so glad I was able to snag this from the local Lego Certified Store (who were doing it a while back) alongside the new modular police station. Great little set.

Honestly, I always look for the GWPs but I don't see the appeal of this one. It's OK, but even the Easter bunny carrot house later this month is nicer.

Should be picking this up with 10258 and 10262 tonight. Buying them both before retirement which will almost certainly be imminent for both...

Get the GWP, sell it on eBay for £25, then your £100 purchase is £75. 25% discount on Chinese festival set... Yes please!!

"Are GWPs still *that* hot? I thought the Monster Book of Monsters would have been a fast item (especially after it disappeared from Barnes & Noble), but I got one a month ago with no problem. I'm hoping this one can wait at least a few days for me to get to the mall."

The Monster book of Monsters sold out within a day or so, and got put back up a few days later

Nice, I’ve been planning to buy barracuda bay to get this. I have a trip to the Lego store planned for tomorrow!

Remember to use your AMEX £20 off a £129 spend if you managed to save to your card

May place an order if 10277 triggers this. Otherwise it'll be a tough pass.

11pm, still adds dots frame but when you empty the basket it says Amelia Earhart available. Re-add item to basket, dots frame. Grrrr.

Not showing in my bag yet at 11pm in UK

Same here. Says it's available but not added to basket. I can only assume it'll add it to the basket at midnight, once it's March 6th...

Order made, with Amelia's plane added to basket :-)

not happening here, either, yet can see the banner

Lets hope it lasts till midnight.

@Paperballpark said:
"Same here. Says it's available but not added to basket. I can only assume it'll add it to the basket at midnight, once it's March 6th..."

Or that it adds in the background. I've had orders before where it doesn't show the GWP in the bag, but then it is present in the order confirmation.

Currently it will say "Get a FREE LEGO® Amelia Earhart Tribute set with purchases over £100.*" if you have less than £100 in your cart, but when you go over, the message disappears but the GWP doesnt add yet. Looks like we gotta wait till midnight here in the UK.

Well this is frustrating.

I'm not risking checking out without it in the basket, given it's still March 5th and it says it's available from 6 March... I can just imagine that conversation with customer service going well...

Same here. I can see the banner but it's not adding to basket

It's working in Europe but not in the UK.......Yet!!!

Just got mine, added to the basket and was visible in the checkout. Hopefully everything will be okay :)

It also has the brown banner saying its free now over £100* but still isnt adding at basket or checkout

"You've qualified for a FREE Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450)". My kind of poetry.

I got it too, I'm so excited to build it!!

It says from the 6th, and all past GWPs have been from midnight in the relevant country. It's only the main set releases that tend to be 23:00.

The stock is going and the GWP is not adding, very frustrating!

I can understand that, although when this happened to me last time, there were two GWPs available - so at the time, the basket only showed the chocolate box, and the year of the ox was only shown in the confirmation.

Looks like a similar situation now - in the UK, we still have the mini frame available as a GWP. If it's only showing the first applicable GWP, then that's what appears, and the Earhart doesn't.

Note that the rest of Europe doesn't seem to have the mini frame available, so the first applicable GWP for them is the Earhart.

@Paperballpark said:
"Soo... while we in the UK wait for midnight, how's everyone doing? Got any plans for the weekend? (hah!)"

Currently half way through Coming 2 America - enjoying it so far, but an Amelia Earhart GWP in my basket would be nice too.

@holdre007 said:

Don't wanna wait another 36mins......

If I add it after midnight and it's not in the basket, I can argue with customer services that I ordered on the 6th and I should get it. I don't really have as strong an argument if I order it on the 5th!

I guess after all the complaints about the Porsche GWP running out before midnight, they are back to midnight in the UK, you just have to hope that it's still in stock.

Although I agree that maybe the system isn't good enough to show 2 free items at once.

I currently have things in my basket and I'm just refreshing until the plane appears. Does that work or do you have to start from an empty basket?

@Paperballpark said:
"Soo... while we in the UK wait for midnight, how's everyone doing? Got any plans for the weekend? (hah!)"

Trying to find a new place to store my Lego boxes, or do I just decide to get rid?

Not sure. I keep periodically adding what I want to my basket, checking it, then emptying it again. I don't trust it to suddenly pop up there when it becomes available...

I got rid a while back, when I was considering moving house. They were just taking up space, even folded down.

The weird thing is I'm sure it has shown two GWPs in the basket some time ago. I just know that my most recent order that had two GWPs only showed one in the basket (and I distinctly remember trying to add multiple times to get it to appear, and then just decided to purchase anyway without it - and then it showed in the confirmation).

Out of stock of what I wanted now, totally useless.

Got to find whatever will make the most whilst being sold on now.

Brexit

This is not on for the UK! Spring lantern festival now out of stock and no sign of GWP yet...

Well it's game over for me, the item I wanted is now out of stock as of two minutes ago.

Same here, my wanted items are now oos

@taylors51 said:
"This is not on for the UK! Spring lantern festival now out of stock and no sign of GWP yet..."

Thats what I wanted.

Take a snapshot of your order during checkout. My GWP disappeared last time after checkout.

Lol, now back in stock. I think we are adding and deleting the same items to our baskets. Clearly there are more of us than items available. I ain't removing it from my basket this time :)

@taylors51 said:
"This is not on for the UK! Spring lantern festival now out of stock and no sign of GWP yet..."

There was no way that the SLF was going to last long with this GWP. I'm kind of surprised any stock ever made it to the GWP to begin with.

Interestingly, it shows 7 items in my basket however I have 6, so is the GWP in my basket but just not shown?

@cucumber said:
"Interestingly, it shows 7 items in my basket however I have 6, so is the GWP in my basket but just not shown?"

Perhaps the Dots GWP?

what are the chances the website crashes at 00:01?

Back to 6 now, Dots was included as was the Octan coin.

Spring Festival is back now too, as said above.

Just refreshed and done now

Got it

Order done with GWP.

Done

Done & SLF back just in the nick of time :)

removed the cheaper item and readded, amelia showed up so ordered... in UK :) also got spring festival too yay

Managed to get aswell. Really happy!

Just placed my order, and got the GWP + Dots Frame.

I got it! It's a Christmas miracle! And I still got the Dots mini frame which is a nice bonus.

Got Spring Lantern festival and the two GWPs so I'm happy :)

Got it :D Now back to the movie (had to pause it due to LEGO related stress).

Ordered the Medieval Blacksmith, together with Dots and Plane GWPs :)

Then I went back in and ordered just over £50 worth of smaller items that I wanted, and got another free Dots GWP!

Got both the dots and the plane GWP

Medieval Blacksmiths ordered with the Amelia Earhart, Dots and the Octan Coin.... good times! :-)

Happy days, Amelia is on her way Blackpool!. Went for 80012 paid for with VIP points

I'm happy for those who managed to get the Spring Lantern Festival. I bought it on 1 Jan (my first ever first-day purchase!) when it was already on back order. It turned up in early Feb, and it's a nice model!

Just made an order ... I hope DPD don’t lose the parcel like my order from 1st Jan ... I never got the Ideas Car and the HP Book of Monsters as a result :(

All done Sesame Street!

Yes, got it too, had to remove spring latern and re add it though. Weird it went out of stock then came back?

No SLF in Germany at the moment unfortunately.

@taylors51 said:
"Yes, got it too, had to remove spring latern and re add it though. Weird it went out of stock then came back?"

My Spring Lantern changed delivery date three times after being originally confirmed. In the end... who cares, got it, love it, and didn't pay post market mark up prices.

Eventually worked after 10 mins. Had to empty my pre-filled cart and add again.

got it, had to remove my item from "My Bag" and re-add it to get the GWP to show up. but my Order is placed!

@catwrangler said:
"I got it! It's a Christmas miracle! And I still got the Dots mini frame which is a nice bonus. "
Yes, Dots is live until the 14th... Got my 4th and 5th sets! (+ a couple of Amelia Earharts, but I think it's mainly the Dots sets that people are really excited about)

I picked up a couple Mickie Art sets (separate orders) so hoping to receive 2 Amelia Earhart sets.

Just got it! First time I've ever waited up til after midnight to place an order just to be sure of getting a set :)

I'm a bit sceptical about Lego's website functionality, but today I had a pretty good experience. Very smooth transaction, all went well!

So, I have 1 Amelia flying to Portugal, and the also amazing and spectacular 21324 for my birthday... In June!!! =)))

The Amelia set will be a gift for a great friend of mine, that recently decided to get back to the Lego hobby, he deserves it!

Very exciting, congrats everyone. Wish we had SLF avail here in the U.S. :o)

SLF says available on webpages and also when I placed the order. Received the order confirmation but then I follow the link in the email to the order it says back order. Hope they sort it out.

do we know if it will be available in stores?

Had the Amelia Earhart set in the shopping cart. After payment the order shows 40417 Year of the Ox and 30411 Chocolate Box & Flower as the bonus sets... and no Amelia Earhart!
Costumer service, here I come...

^ It's a gift with purchase, which means that it is a set that comes with certain other sets in stores. If you want it on its own, I suggest Bricklinking it eventually.

@Vilhelm22:
I looked into a few options to get the Routemaster for Black Friday because I figured its days were numbered and didn't want to miss my chance. Bond released the following year, but with these D2C sets, strength of sales is what primarily determines how long they last. If the sales profiles are similar, Bond will probably retire a year after the Routemaster because it was released a year later.

Whatever the case, though, Spectre was probably out on home video when they started designing the Aston Martin, and No Time To Die has been pushed back to sometime later this year. It'd be a shame if that set came and went without a single new Bond film being released, kinda like how the BttF DeLorean was retired and sold out several months before October 21, 2015 (the only retail product in stores at the time was the Marty McFly Dimensions pack, since Doc Brown didn't release until January 2016).

@Turbulence:
That just looks so wrong...

@RikTheVeggie:
So buy something that's backordered. You'll still qualify for the GWP. If you don't want to wait for it, or you're nervous that they'll end up cancelling the GWP because of stock issues, tack on something small to trigger a shipment. That's what I did with Monster Book of Monsters. I backordered the Burrow to qualify for it, and tossed the Joker Bricksketch in to force an early shipment.

@Paperballpark:
Carts don't appear to be dynamic. To get the GWP to show up in the cart, you'll have to force an update in the cart. A simple way of doing this is to just adjust the quantity of a set up and down repeatedly, so you don't have to actually leave the cart.

@cucumber:
I have, in the past, had as many as four different GWPs displaying in the same cart. On January 2nd of this year, I was able to get Monster Book of Monsters and Vintage Car to display in my cart by just adding the microscale Hogwarts Castle. The system is capable of doing it, but you may be experiencing first-hour-glitchiness.

@LinuxBrickie:
I doubt stock is actually reserved for you just because you have the set in your cart.

@bigospedros:
I think I got your Vintage Car. I placed an order on the 2nd after VC had stopped triggering, but it showed up as backordered when I checked my order status on LEGO.com, and it arrived last month.

@gman13579:
The offer details didn't say it was an online exclusive. Besides, they've mostly done in-store exclusives in recent months.

Aarrgghh. I was a few minutes too late to add lantern festival so it went out of stock. Darn it. Got the police station instead.

I can't believe everybody was trying to buy before midnight. Doh. It only kicks in from midnight.

Any idea when this'll go live in the US? I'm assuming midnight Eastern time but I wanna be ready before then just in case.

First time I’ve been grateful to the cat for waking us up to beg for food... Ninjago City Gardens on the way plus a certain small red plane.

@TheOriginalSimonB:
I stayed up to order the Nebulon B Frigate when it released at midnight, dozed off, and woke up about 10 after. Limit was three, which I split up into three orders (I did the same for Bespin Duel, and one of those arrived crushed, plus I've had a few orders get drenched by rain). One of those got cancelled. If I had been able to place those orders as soon as the set went live, I'd probably have gotten all three.

I wonder if i'll have the joy of waiting 4+ weeks to be able to use my paypal funds again like last time they cancelled an order.

The online order and fulfilment experience of buying from LEGO is so bad right now, it's like they contracted it out to the UK Government.

@cucumber:
Yeah, I never understood that one. I've made purchases using Paypal, immediately been issued a tiny refund (I mean, we're talking pennies), and equally immediately been told that the funds are being held for some reason that was never really explained.

@cucumber said:
"The Porsche GWP was sold out well before midnight. So you have to try before incase LEGO launch it early, like they have done a number of times."
I think that was only because it was a gift linked to a specific purchase, rather than to a specific time, so it launched at 23:00 because the Porsche did.
I've yet to see any general GWP launch before 00:00 on the day specified. They have the release date in the T&Cs.

It’s live in the us

Confirmed live in the US. Placed my order and it's on the confirmation page. Woo!

Live in the US at 11PM CST sharp, got two AT-STs and the Cyber Drone.

No problems placing my order at 3:00 CET, smooth transaction as is my usual experience.

Only, I was disappointed that my € 99,99 order of Gingerbread House was not rounded up. I had to add an additional item to my order to qualify for the GWP.

Not cool. But you do have access to Puhaste beer so my sympathy is limited:o)

Just got notification that Spring Lantern festival is backordered. Does that mean that I'll miss out on the GWPs?

I ordered some Tulips too which are in stock, so will they send the GWPs with those and the SLF separately?

As the Spring Lantern festival wasn't available I went for the cop-shop instead and got the GWPs.

Yes they definitely will do that, always send what is stock so you should be fine.

Just redeemed £85 points on Ninjago city gardens with a free Earhart promo, dots frame, and stranger things poster

I ordered this morning at about 7am without any problems, and including the GWP. Just checked back and you would still get it. Looks like it may (maybe) at least last over the weekend...

I finally got Amelia to add to basket at midnight and my PayPal receipt received at 1 min past midnight shows Amelia. But my Lego receipt received 8 mins later doesn't. Neither does my order on the Lego website despite saying "In Warehouse". I think I've had the opposite situation where the freebie was eventually added, but not this situation where it vanished. Anyone know the likelihood of this just fixing itself?

If its a problem then Lego should only allow one per account...."

As ever GWP is limited to one per household - read the T&Cs. I've done multiple orders in a promo period before and only ever received 1 GWP.

Well another, ultimately ok but stressful shop for me..... on Bricksets advise i checked the website about 11:15pm... and added various items..... The Amelia item was all over the website but not in the basket. As I got going and at £99 I noticed a yellow banner in the basket screen saying free GWP for £100*..... when I reached £100 it dissappeared but nothing appeared in the basket. I placed my order and awaited the confirmation, which in previous promotions has then included the GWP.... I went to bed... This am confirmed email and order on the site, no GWP.... Order confirmed at 00:09. I then phoned Customer services and within 3 mins they placed a £0 order just for the set for me...... ok, but not very slick.

I took it as being that the asterisk showed it was subject to t&c's which would include the dates (if you click the banner it did specify the dates). So it was not going to work until it was actually the 6th.

Just placed an order for some sets I've been eying up for a while and the Plane was added as well as the mini frame, looks like Lego have plenty of stock this time round, either that or I'm feeling lucky :)

If they don't run out soon, I'll certainly be complaining to Lego that I don't have enough space for my Lockheed Vega squadron!

Hopefully I was quick enough

No GWP in DK lego stores. They said that for the time being GWP will only be online because COVID situation

Same Here I placed my order paid with paypal got confirmation with Amelia... Amelia is missing from lego order confirmation.... and lego shop site... What the .... is going on? some friends of mine had the same problem last night we all send an email to Lego!!!! Hope everything works out

Got the SLF at midnight along with the two GWP but had email this morning to say SLF backordered until 26/3. Luckily the BB8 brick sketch that I ordered as well was in stock so I should get my freebies with that.

This GWP is still available in the UK at 13:00

honestly i prefer the carrot house available later this month

How did you phone customer services in the middle of the night, or did you ring at 9am?

@BrickRandom :
I talked to a couple of the LEGO Store employees about that. I was told that sometimes a $100 GWP will work on a $99.99 set, sometimes it'll work with anything over $99 (so you could buy 20 keychains for a total of $99.80), and other times they can't even bypass the threshold. They didn't sound like they knew when or why this happens either.

Oddly, I just checked, and adding the $99.99 10266 Lunar Lander to my cart triggers the GWP in the US. The tradeoff is, Gingerbread House is "Out of Stock" in the US, and unlikely to be available again unless it comes back for a third holiday season (the last time I remember that happening was the train, which was probably only because they needed a train to go with the train station).

@Paperdaisy :
In the last couple years, as long as you saw the GWP land in your cart with a backordered item, you could expect to receive it when that item started shipping again, even if the GWP had long ago sold out. However, there's always the odd chance that their stock levels will be off and the last few orders to ship could end up having their GWP cancelled. GWPs rarely ship by themselves unless they're the only thing left to ship. If the order gets filled with multiple shipments, barring a rare case where a GWP is on backorder (I just had that happen with Vintage Car, which is the only time I know of where this has happened), it should ship with the first box out the door.

One quirky situation I think I've run across is that Bits & Pieces and online Pick-A-Brick orders aren't supposed to count towards earning GWPs, but I believe they might trigger a GWP to ship by itself if the rest of the purchase is backordered. All B&P/PAB orders ship from Europe, but GWPs in North America don't. Since the first item to ship triggers delivery of any available GWPs, I believe they'll ship from a local warehouse. I have no idea how this would work in Europe, if everything ships from a single warehouse.

That brings up another potential GWP-only situation in the US, at least. I've recently discovered that there are LEGO warehouses in at least two different states. If one warehouse has the last remaining stock of a GWP, but has run out of whatever set you ordered to qualify, they might have to ship from different warehouses.

@kfr :
There's no way of knowing. We don't get to see stock levels, so our only real indicators are fan response, qualification threshold, and historical context. There was a ton of chatter for both Dickens and Vintage Car, and both sold out fairly quickly. A $35 GWP will, by necessity, have much greater available stock than one with a higher threshold. And we know from past experience that Black Friday GWPs usually don't stick around very long, and that the two Ideas GWPs have proven to be very popular as well.

So, my suggestion is, if someone really wants this GWP and plans to make a qualifying purchase, don't delay unless you need to wait for your next paycheck to clear.

@Brainslugged :
Take no chances. Call S @H and find out what they can see on their end.

@DoonsterBuildsLego :
Your experience may be specific to the UK. I've regularly split orders to get 2+ GWPs, and never had any problem doing so in the US, even when I did it all via S @H . Even if that's the case for the UK, lifetime limits are only applied to S @H orders. If you walk into a LEGO Store, you are only limited to one per person per day per store. For someone living in Chicago, there are about five stores in the greater Chicago area, two of which are less than an hour apart, so it'd be easy to hit multiple stores.

@sjr60:
They had something like that for the Shadow ARF Trooper several years ago. There was a small checkbox added somewhere during the checkout process. If you clicked it, you signaled that you actually did want the free minifig. If you chose not to check it, or more likely, didn't notice that it was there, you missed out. That one didn't go over very well, but I guess if they really wanted to do this, allowing people to opt out instead of requiring them to opt in would save them from irate phone calls.

It's a shame she can't actually sit in the plane...

I bought the lantern festival in haste when it returned so I can't get this anymore sadly...

I rang them at 9am.... i was trying to leave as the order as late as I could with the risk of the GP selling out...... after all it looked like it was available......my order was actually processed at 00:09...... but id gone to bed by then. So technically within the offer period. Anyway they were very nice and I am hoping all will be well in a few days when the order and the GWP arrives.... I can see both "in Warehouse" which is normal.

@OttoT said:
"It's a shame she can't actually sit in the plane..."

I am sure we can MOD this to make her fit ;-)

@OttoT:
Based on minifig height being six feet, this set is incredibly accurately scaled. The problem comes with the width of a minifig, which when you add in arms hanging on each side, is at least 3x what it should be for an accurately scaled figure. Then instead of having a thin hull, this is a solid mass of parts to achieve the tapered shape. If you want a plane that can actually seat seven like the real thing, you're probably going to need to scale it up 1.5-2x. Go much bigger than that, and it'll look like a 737.

I finally broke down and bought Hogwarts 71043, mainly because both Police Station and Book Shop are out of stock. Got ready to check out and realized I had forgotten to go through the referral link, so I cleared my cart and came back here, and did it again. Hopefully you guys see the referral.

As a status FYI, I just placed this order here in the US, and got both the Amelia Earhart and the Monster Book in my order.

Oddly enough most of my Wish List is available. SO I had my pick of sets to get the freebie. I ordered immediately and no issues. It was the smoothest transaction I've had with them. Which means something will go wrong probably...

I had both GWP showing in my UK basket at 00:15, went to shop for one more small thing and lego.com started playing up. Whenever I was logged in to use some points the icon showed X number of items in the cart but trying to view the cart and pay it was suddenly empty and any attempt to add something gave an "unexpected error"!
Tried three browsers, two on desktop (Windows Firefox LTS and Chrome) and on on tablet (Android, normal Chrome) but no: if I'm logged in I can not buy anything!

Yes,browsers up to date, deleted all the stored cookies. No change.

Does anyone else have this sort of problem?
What browser will LEGO.com work with? Please don't say Edge is the only one on Windows.

It's $130.00.

"This is not on for the UK! Spring lantern festival now out of stock and no sign of GWP yet..."

Same happened to me, was patiently waiting for midnight and at about 11.40pm the Spring Lantern Festival sold out - pretty annoying!!"

Dame in Holland. Yesterdayevening was the first time prince januari first that spring latern festival was in stock. I waited till after midnight to secure the gwp, but nu then it had sold out again...

Decided on getting Sesame Street. Cashed in the OCTAN coin promo at the same time.

@fulcrumbop:
I got the first two codes to late to make use of them in January, so I'm still a coin behind. I used my Pirates code on this order, and Octan will have to wait for the next one.

@ PurpleDave :
I checked, but the Lunar Lander by itself also doesn't trigger the GWP for me. So it seems the US shop and European shop apply the threshold differently (at least for this one). Fits what you said, the threshold does not seem to be applied in a consistant way.

Canada = $130

@BrickRandom:
It'd be nice if they just knocked each threshold down by 1 and strictly applied it. So in the US, it'd be $34, $49, $74, $99, $149, $199, etc. It'd be almost impossible to fall short by just a penny or two. Even for the $199 threshold they set for the big tote bag, buying 100 copies of something priced at $1.99 would exactly hit the mark. Basically, you'd have to buy stuff on clearance with odd prices to just barely fall short.

I was told once by a LEGO store employee that you must meet or exceed the actual threshold (eg, $100.00) when buying licensed sets, but that non-licensed sets can trigger a GWP at a lower threshold (eg, $99.99). But I'm not sure if she was referring to the purchased set(s) being licensed, or the GWP being licensed. Either way, she said it was about corporate licensing partners being more controlling of the offers.

"Same Here I placed my order paid with paypal got confirmation with Amelia... Amelia is missing from lego order confirmation.... and lego shop site... What the .... is going on? some friends of mine had the same problem last night we all send an email to Lego!!!! Hope everything works out
"

I had the same issue. It showed both GWPs in the basket when I placed my order on day one.
Upon checking my email confirmation I noticed only the Dots Frame was included. I rang Customer Services, who were very helpful, and they have added it for me separately. That was yesterday, so they are still in stock.

It looks like it didn't go smoothly for others too, ironically having placed my order on the cusp of 5th/6th after reading a Brickset article saying they start at 23:00 the day before...with it being processed on 6th and no Amelia I phoned the next day and they added. Amelia arrived yesterday but the Lego order hasn't yet...…..
