in Australia, it's a $200 spend to get the dorm.
Thanks for the update, I'd been wondering when/where these sets would be available.
A very cool set that would be cool at retail with an extra 2 minifigs
Damn! Got the Flying Car as well.... almost as if the've still got a load left to shift!
The 2 minifigures aren't unique to this set, isn't it?

Wow. We really get swindled, don’t we?

It's crazy, I thought I'd be alright with $160 worth of stuff on my wish list waiting for this promo and get screwed by the "Oz tax"
Any idea how long this will run? And are there any rumoured Christmas GWPs around the corner?
GWP is live in the US now.

Nope! Ron is also in 75968 and 75953 with Harry just in 75953

It is, unfortunately for me I already have the few sets that I wanted. Want this gwp, but not dropping more money on stuff I really don’t want to get it. Wish they would do these with the release of the new sets rather than months later.

Thank you!
Probably my last year getting HP sets as I'm disappointed that Lego changed course from the previous three years of HP sets as well as not giving us sets from the last two movies.
That said, I'm game for a round of these vignette-style sets and will be looking to get this GWP.
Quite handy coming with 4 Wizard cards, for those trying to complete the set!
I am doubting between diagon alley and the icons set. Really want those gwp but i am not going to buy sets that are 25 to 35% cheaper on Amazon or whatever. So only those 2 remain...
What is it with In-Store Only offers. Why are people being encouraged to go into a town or city during a pandemic? Surely a tiny polybag can be added to an order from Lego.com? I don't live anywhere near a shop so would have to go via Train, public transport, and at way more of the cost of the set on Ebay……

There's some more (partial) exclusives you will not find on Amazon (at least in Europe):
BrickHeadz 40495 Harry, Hermione, Ron & Hagrid and 40496 Voldemort, Nagini & Bellatrix are LEGO.com exclusives.
These sets are store exclusives, in the Benelux only available from:
76393 Harry Potter & Hermione Granger is a Bol.com exclusive
76394 Fawkes, Dumbledore’s Phoenix and 76392 Hogwarts Wizard’s Chess are Dreamland exclusives
76395 Hogwarts: First Flying Lesson is a Fun exclusive
Sure, these stores sometimes also do discounts on these sets (Fun did this weekend), but not very frequent nor usually very deep.
@Kynareth:
They always do Christmas GWPs. In recent years it has expanded to one GWP on Black Friday weekend (F-S-S following the fourth Thursday in November) and for VIP members the weekend before. The second standard GWP is always up on December 1st. Sometimes other GWPs pop up at random times late in the year, but there’s no way to predict those.

Didnt know they were, so ordered them all now as they were on sale :-)
Times like these really make me annoyed with Lego. All sets have a .99 price ending, so guess what? You’ll always end up 1-3 cents short of the promo and the cheapest item eligible for the promotion is 15 units of local currency. Have they completely forgotten that these are kids’ toys?
@snackyfrench:
In the US, it varies. Sometimes a $100 spend will really mean $100 on the dot. Sometimes (especially when paired with some other set, like a Christmas GWP with the Winter Village sets) it’ll let you miss by a penny ($99.99, but no lower). And sometimes you can miss by a whole dollar ($99.00). It really depends what the promo is. IP-based tend to skew to the full spend more than taking it easy on your pocket.
So at the store I was able to get both this and the Hermione 30392 polybag in the US, so it seems the change to the calendar was not needed. Also was lucky enough to get the Flying car 6387807 , what's up with that!
@MasterT:
Regarding the HP GWPs, the theory is they were late arriving, and the delay may have been put in place just in case it took a _long_ time for them to arrive. For the car, you have my sympathies.
