Year of the Tiger is now the GWP at LEGO.com
Posted by Huw,
40491 Year of the Tiger is currently free with purchases exceeding £85/$85/€85 at LEGO.com, which is perfect timing because the Chinese Traditional Festival sets are now available in the USA and Canada.
Additionally, 30562 Monkie Kid's Underwater Journey is free with Monkie Kid and NINJAGO purchases over £40.

Except for the fact it is not added automatically for qualifying purchases.

It was automatically added to my order. Put my order in about 30 min before this article went up.
Here I have a €180 order. Not adding

I ordered just after midnight. The banner was showing but it didn't add to basket. I ordered anyway and it showed up in the confirmation email and on the order history.
Holding back on an order of over £300 as it is not adding and hasn’t been since 11:45 last night when the banners were showing.
Still not pulled the trigger

I read this and decided to risk it- can confirm GWP is showing in my order confirmation, even though it wasnt there during checkout
I logged out and back in and bow it worked
I ended up speaking with Customer Service this morning before ordering after spending ages last night refreshing the page, she said to put it through anyway and she would check if it had added and if not she would send it separately.
I gave her my order number and she said it was added to the order, even though it didn't say straight away after purchase. The Monkie Kid GWP was showing when I added that to the basket as a test, so I was hesitant to just go ahead and purchase the Lunar Ice Festival without the Lunar GWP showing! I should have had faith in Lego!! :)
Still not working for me either... logged out, signed back in... still no GWP!!

I had the same problem. A quick call to customer services confirmed that it is added even though it does not show in the basket or on the page confirmation after having checked out. I haven't received the email confirmation yet, but expect it will show there.

Its now working, I just added some other bits and its showing up now!
The Sinclair Spectrum Lego.com server always struggles with multiple tasks. It had to cool down after adding the Monkie Kid gwp before it could tackle the Year of the Tiger.
It's the same if you put in multiple orders in quick succession . There's very little chance of getting an email confirmation of any other than the first one!
Still no City of Lanterns in stock though. Hoping it will return to stock before this promo ends
I wish there was stock of The City of Lanterns....
Well im glad I didn't try to order my sets at 7 am this morning as id planned to, only remembered on the way to work. Just ordered now and it was seemless. Already populated my basket last night, 5 items..... including two monkie kids. This am logged in and it was 7... Tiger+ monkie kid added.
I’m so pumped! I forgot to stay up late last night for the CNY sets, so I checked before work this morning and they were still in stock, got the GWP, AND my checkout worked on the first try! This is the best experience I have had with Shop at Home in a very long time!
Will hold off on buying City of Lanterns until the next decent GWP or Double VIP event I guess, unless it comes back into stock while this promo runs. Hopefully the production will have kept up with demand by then.
It’s available with purchases is CAD $110 or more from lego.com in Canada, but apparently also available with purchases of CAD $80 from Mastermind Toys in-store.
Apparently, you can also just buy it by itself for $14.99 at Mastermind, although it is already out of stock at some locations.
Ordered 80109; I still haven't ordered 10297 (despite buying the previous two modular buildings on day one) as I am waiting for a higher-threshold GWP (when will the Adventures of USS Cardboard fan-voted set be released, for that matter?) and/or double VIP points.

Yes... great little set! That's one I'm looking forward to, so long as it stays fairly close to the original design.
I'm also waiting for a higher threshold GWP before getting the Boutique Hotel... Pretty much the opposite of Lego's intention. GWPs do nothing other than make me delay getting sets that I would have bought on day 1 otherwise!

Pulled trigger now and sure enough, gwp confirmed on order

True, it works both ways for me, on one hand if softens the full-price from buying exclusive themes like Monkie Kid or Traditional Festivals.
(and some other exclusives like seasonals or even some sets in City/Creator 3-in-1 can be exclusive/limited nowadays depending on country ).
On the other hand it's balance between waiting, or not waiting too long , with how things can be out of stock/backorder much quicker these days.
all the stuff I wanted to buy is out of stock, hopefully it comes back soon before this disappears...
Terrible release night for the USA, once again. Both sets vanished from the site at 11:55 pm. The listings kept disappearing and reappearing, and would still say “coming soon”. Finally got my order in around 1 am.
80108 currently on Backorder in Europe but still can be ordered to be eligible.
Added automatically with my order of the two new Chinese New Year sets. However, there was an issue with one of the sets being opened for purchase. It would appear and disappear very frustratingly, and it wouldn't allow you to add to cart for over an hour after midnight. But I got it!
Man, you folks weren't kidding about so many items being out of stock. I hit my wish list and 16 of the 19 items are out of stock. The three items that are available are much cheaper on Amazon.
At this point I'm kind of curious what people are buying to trigger the Tiger GWP. :)
No problems in US getting this, but I opted for what I imagine will be the less-popular "New Years traditions" and "Chang'e moon base." My oldest child is a Tiger so I really wanted that tiger costume, but I just cannot justify getting the entire ice rink just for one minifig. Semi-undermined that by getting the "Neon Tiger Bag Tag" Dots set on the side, but I'm a sucker for Dots and the unique pieces they offer. (Sloth caveat: "Neon Tiger Bag Tag" does not qualify as Ninjago/Monkie Kid for the GWP)
Just ordered 80109 and received the GWP here in Canada without issues, really love the rink and all the mini figures in this set. Would be fun to try to incorporate the tiger in with the set.
Nice! I put in an order this morning with the two Lunar New Year sets and one of the Monkie Kid sets I didn't pick up in my January 1st order to qualify for both GWPs. I'd been sort of hoping to instead get one of the Ninjago sets on my wishlist to mix things up a little (since my earlier purchase already included three of the new Monkie Kid sets), but unfortunately it seems like most of the ones of those on my wishlist are already out of stock!

I got myself a smallish Harry Potter set I did not already have plus $80 worth of pick-a-brick for a MOC. (btw bricks & pieces is not available for this promotion - I ordered lots $$$ from bricks & pieces but the total was not taken into account for the required threshold).
It's the https://brickset.com/parts/6253320/flat-tile-2x2-round-no-1117, it's the thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of our rival . . .
If you are in Australia, the Tiger is free at Myer when you spend $88 or more.
I had no problems obtaining this, or the monkie kid gwp today.
I hope the instance of this set that I turned down in favor of a voucher and 30545 at my LEGO Certified Store didn't end up in the hands of a scalper.
Sill not added the 40491 Tiger to my shopping cart...Lego, you are lossing money with this odd issue...
Unfortunately, the three HP sets I've been trying to get since before Christmas are still out of stock.
