10-20% off in the US.
Super low stock site-wide in the USA. I've never seen it like this before. They need to hire more elves!
Does anyone know when the sale ends in the uk? I’ve seen a couple of things but I also want the Miles Morales letting which is coming soon, so I may as well get everything at the same time or I’ll be paying more than I saved in delivery
Here's only 22 products on sale. The only BrickHeadz on sale is 40481, besides that nothing useful. :-(

Interesting. France looks to be the same, a much reduced selection.
One of the worst LEGO Boxing Day sales I've seen in a long time.
Mostly clothes in the UK. Ah well, at least I don't need to regret my alcohol-fueled impulse spree yesterday.
Right load of old rubbish in the UK sale, only 60271 worth a look and even then, still too expensive. Lego really need to ditch the pointless clothing, bags and other non standard stuff and stick to bricks.
No sale on the AU site. How frustrating.
I’m noticing a lot of the tie-in clothes are on sale, mostly from Adidas. The Queer Eye set also has a reduced price, so I’m guessing it’s not selling well. I remember that set didn’t seem to have too many people here interested in it due to the obscure source material.
No need for them to put things on sale when everything is flying off the shelves!!!

I'm guessing the supply chain issues happening all year have continued. I hope 2022 isn't just a second 2020

My wish list is either “out of stock” or “coming soon”.

Funny. LEGO won't let me update my wishlist with any new sets."
Maybe different in Canada or it is a French thing. As soon as an item is displayed on the site, I can add it.
How many people actually buy keychain? And if so, how many?
I'm assuming someone might want to buy his/her favourite character and once that's done then this is it. Are there people collecting those?
A load of tat that they're probably struggling to sell. Looks like I will maintain my loyalty with other Lego sellers this year
Hobbes, I'll throw in a discounted key chain when I'm making an order, but I don't go out of my way to get them. Last year I got the Chinese lady in the red dress, but I've been reluctant to actually use it as a keychain- it has nice printing, and my two star wars figures have had all their printing worn off. The standard printing just isn't sturdy enough, and it's my main hesitation with the key chains.

I bought one keychain, but it didn’t hold up over time. The LEGO parts were smoothed out, the mini figure fell apart, and all of the printing slowly but surely was rubbed off.
Mostly tat that clearly hasn't sold well. Also, 60271 is far far cheaper at Argos

I prefer to use them on backpacks instead. No printing can stand up to metal keys rubbing against it.
Obviously the German Shepherd 40440 didn't sell quite as well as expected... Bought one when they were released, and got three more when they were 'mystery' GWPs!

We use them to decorate our Christmas tree. However, we mostly stick with SW and iconic Lego stuff.
My kind of Boxing Day sale is the one my local gaming shop has going today. Every RPG product that's been on the shelves for more than two months is 50% off.
Went to have a quick look and saw a couple Brickheadz animals, but what really made my day was seeing the new UCS shoe on sale! Regular 110 on sale for 88 cad. Oh my Lego you are pitiful. How old is that set now? Who could EVER have guessed THAT wouldnt sell well...
Yeah the shoe has been available for six months. Six months and its on sale for 22$ off! Thats a sign of a really bad set. So if anybody wants a Lego shoe, heres your chance so SAVE 22$! Act now! These are sure to sell out fast!

"I've been getting the error 'Wishlist max of 30' or something like that. My wishlist has 18."
It seems to hang on to items that are no longer available. They disappear from the wishlist, but remain in the 30 maximum. Reported to Customer Services, but all they suggested was to log out and back in, and clear cache, which obviously made no difference. I think the 'new improved' wishlist is basically crap. Gave up and started a new wishlist, as you can have 30 in each.
Probably worth reporting, as my response that their suggestions didn't work hasn't got a reply! I guess either not many have reported, or they know it's broken and are ignoring. (or their team of 6 year old web designers are still on school holidays)
On the American LEGO.com there’s not much of interest to me. Queer Eye being on discount isn’t much of a surprise as much as I love the reason behind the set’s existence. Keychains don’t interest me, I’ll snag the rumored Demogorgon one if it’s legit but the ones right now don’t really interest me. All the more power to people who want these I guess but I can find more 20% off deals on other sites.

Who can blame them? Christmas and 2 double VIP events in the last 6?weeks, on top of the second global shipping crisis this year.
