The LEGO house GWP disappeared sometime yesterday, at least at the US LEGO.com.
Lots of disappointments on vouchers selling out, have a word @huw if you get to post feedback to Lego if they advertise something as 4 days don’t allow people to buy 4 on day one and sell out if you do allow 4 make it one a day for the 4 days and more people get a chance or make more available on cyber Monday perhaps
I think Lego did a decent job with discounted sets in the US. There was nothing I wanted or didn’t already have, but still it was a good mix of sets with decent discounts.
I’m hoping they offer some different sets on Cyber Monday.
I checked my local LEGO store, the busiest one in the U.S., at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World. I wanted to get the Technic Ferrari since if was 5x the VIP points. The catch was it had to be bought in the store. Guess what? The store is sold out along with the store in Tampa. I called LEGO to see, since the store was sold out, I could order it online and get the 5x the points. Nope. I checked today also and nothing. In fact, all the 5x's are sold out. There is no way LEGO doesn't send these sets all the time to this store. If the local LEGO store is out, you should be able to purchase it online with the incentives. Weak LEGO, very weak.
legos page on the UK side is still just the sets that where on sale before or aren't selling. utter disappointment, theres nothing worth getting on lego.com now.

You missed your chance during VIP weekend, then. They had the same 5x points rewards in-store, or 20% off those same sets online via a 100-point VIP reward. That's why those sets are all already sold out.

Black Friday Cyber Monday
I don’t understand how the 75% off discount for 50 DKK vouchers could be sold out, and already on day 1 of the 4 day period.

I could kick myself for that, but the sale was until the 28th so I figured more would come in the store, or at least the offer would be online also until the 28th.
Can't believe the 75% off £5 voucher has sold out when there's still 2 days to go.

Don’t kick yourself. The “discounted” sets that I wanted last weekend were already out of stock at our local LEGO store. It seemed like a promotion that was designed to fail.
Today I received the order that included the Dragon Adventure Ride set that LEGO offered for 2400 VIP points. It's presented in the generic yellow GWP box, as opposed to the gorgeous illustrated box that was made available in Japan. Bad enough we don't get Bricktober-marketed sets in the US, but to package them in a decidedly inferior box is adding to the insult.
People would be so disappointed if there wasn't something to be disappointed by!
Wait, they actually sold out of vouchers? All this time I thought it was just poor choice of wording for having met the limit of 4. Are some people not able to get their 4 vouchers?

Yeah, it says "Sold out" where it would normally say "Redeem". Unfortunate because I was thinking about redeeming some points.

Most of the promotions this Black Friday from Lego seem almost designed to annoy and disappoint, rather than excite customers. Whether it be stores not carrying enough stock of 5x VIP sets, sale items being ones previously discounted or poorly selling, reduced discounts being limited to 4 per customer on the smallest value available, or not physical items "selling out". The whole event has clearly been designed to limit any real value to customers, while the likes of Amazon having been offering 50% off a range of Star Wars and Harry Potter sets. That is a proper Black Friday promotion, not the tokenism provided by Lego.
