Go go get your boat, it looks like a dream, no no, no, no, the site is break-ing.

I too got my boat, with the Colosseum, draining and draining and draining my wallet, but smoother than it seemed.

I wasn’t excited about the boat until I learned it was a gwp. Now I want it real bad for some reason.

So, after a very expensive Lego month last month, carrying on from a huge spend this year to date. I had decided on not buying anything this month. That failed at 08:15 on 1st of August when I brought the World Map for £229.99 to qualify for this. Oops.

Boat & Marvel gwp’s in the bag! Infinity Gaunlet & Chamber of secrets x thanks for the Reminders Huw :) xx No site problems at 9am in the uk x It’s getting harder & harder to keep up with my collection even though my income and outgoings haven’t changed & no holiday again or Christmas savings when I’d usually have at least 50% put away! Just so much released every month this year it’s starting to become impossible to be a theme completionist! Going to have to sort & sell anything random or duplicates of gwps I was trying to keep for grandkids I think ?? x

Got my boat and the Marvel gap, plus the book because I was buying some Classic sets. Triple GWP bonus! 8^)

"I'm surprised this hasn't already been taken off the site within the last 6 hours. I bought Republic gunship, I didn't really want to but that boat and I had 50£ voucher which I only use on things that I'm certain wont go down in price."

I'm not surprised because it's a £200 spend. The recent GWPs have struggled because of their price points, such as buying the Adidas trainer not being enough to get the mini.

Lego are getting too greedy with pushing all of these spending limits upwards."


I agree, I don't like how they keep increasing the spending limit. In Canada is $265 to get the boat, that's insane! So, no thanks, the boat is cool and all but if I ever want to build it I'll use my own parts and get any I don't already have on Bricklink or Bricks and Pieces.

I was browsing the site and adding stuff to my Wish List, when I got queued! At least it wasn’t a big queue, or a blink-and-you-miss-it GWP.

The Map is finally back in stock! So now it's ordered with promo Sail Boat set. Also added La Catrina. Only a bit of a hiccup from LEGO site. It wouldn't show my cart or my wish list but I was logged in. Kept trying though & finally order went through!

GWP still available, no cue, no problems. And that's how those GWP should be: no faffing about with VIP points and vouchers to get the GWP (looking at you Ulyssus). Finally bought the bookshop 10270, the everbody's awesome set 40516 and a building plate 11010....that should be enough until...probably next month..damn you LEGO ;-)

Waiting for set to appear in the secondary markets, but as usual if demand and price are high it won't be Lego making money out of this set.

Hello. I'm trying to get the Sailboat with a 202E purchase, since august, 2nd. Unsuccesfully. First I thought there where very few for VIPs, but it is still announced on the Shop and I can't get it neither today. Another problem of very low stock? This is very dissapointing :(

It is strange. If I buy one set together with 88010 "Remote control" the GWP doesn't appear. But it does with another combination.

@Cima :
I had the same problem with the same exact product. They thought maybe it was PU products that were excluded, but I tested every single one and only the remote fails to trigger GWPs. It’s a known problem, though, so you can always call them and ask them to take your order by phone, or to apply an earned GWP after you place the order.

They are trying to figure out why the remote fails to trigger, but this isn’t the first time this has happened. Back in January, the Harry Potter mosaic failed to trigger the Monster Book of Monsters, even though it was clearly a Harry Potter set and cleared the spend threshold by a hefty margin. At the time this was especially problematic because nearly every set was temporarily sold out due to Christmas, so the only two other options were the microscale Hogwarts and any combination of three of the House books/classrooms.
