Thought it was only $95 US? That's what all the sources I'd read said it was.

"Is anyone else having issues with it not adding? I have a Ninjago set and Classic set in my bag that's well over $100 before tax, and it's not adding the GWP in."

No, I'm not seeing it yet either. IIRC there was something similar with the Forestman GWP for some folks but people did get the GWP on their invoice once it arrived, I would place your order and assume it will be added later, but check that invoice carefully.

Same issue.

It’s not adding for me either

I placed my order, it says "in process" on the order details page, no Tahu and Takua yet.

yes, I'm having issues as well

Going to attempt buying this seperately one day...

It's broken for me. All the branding and links show up on the site, but it won't show up in my cart.

"The Balrog and Frodo"

Another Lord of the rings set.

I see the Year of the Rabbit GWP is still being added as well (in the UK) despite it officially ending yesterday. Not sure if that's an error or if it's been extended until it's gone.

And 40499 is out of stock again, seems it's only available when there are no GWP.

@sjr60 A rabbit also appeared in my basket.
@Drewsko still bugged? It works fine here.

My jimmies are a little rustled by the fact that all the stuff I want that would go towards qualifying for this is either out of stock or, in the case of Creator 3-in-1, not available until March… wish they’d either waited another month until that stuff was available, or widened the eligibility.

I'm having the same issues, hopefully it works in the morning

I do love this set. But setting a high threshold, at the end of the month where all the new sets were already released and had two very high thresholds (Blacktron was especially desirable), and severely limiting what sets are available, only amplifies the issue with it won't show up in my cart. Just feels a little bad.

I just used LEGO’s customer service chat function, they are aware of the issue and have forwarded these concerns to the proper department! Hopefully the problem is going to be fixed soon, in the meantime you can get the promo added to your order (if it qualifies) by contacting them. It worked for me!

It is definitely a disappointment that the website seems to be acting up. Got my order fixed with customer service, but I hope they learn from this issue so that we don’t have to deal with similar problems in the future, and I have informed them of such, for whatever it’s worth. Hopefully this is a one-time glitch, as I have not previously encountered issues like this with the Blacktron set or anything prior on day 1 of release.

Where I live they're including them for a purchase over 190 dollars and only for one day

Threshold appears to be $100 in US as well, which means the estimate went from $85 to 95$ to $100

You definitely haven't had a lot of experience with LEGO's online shop site over the past, well, decades it seems.
After all, since when have they been known to be good at fixing ANY issues at all?"

I must say that for the past year, I didn't have any problems anymore.

Can I borrow some of that fortune for when I visit my Local LEGO store tomorrow?

Sending what I can! I reccomend going early while it's quiet and asking which sets are included.

You only need $99.99 to qualify for the set. However $99.98 will not trigger the promo.

Ended up having to call customer support about it but they fixed it immediately.

And it just so happens that I cannot remember my log in information.

€99,99 will not work in Europe however. (tested with 3-in-1 Castle and City Moonbase)

I guess it just goes to show we shouldn’t put complete trust in insider or speculative info. I imagine it was always going to be a $100 threshold for the US. It just makes more sense with it being 95 euro or 95 pounds. No reason to be mad at LEGO unless it’s info straight from them that was inaccurate.

I have noticed a few websites stating the thresholds as £95/€95/$95, even after it went live. Historically, the thresholds have always been the same for those three currencies, even though the set prices aren't. I complained about that last year so I was pleasantly surprised to find the thresholds amended this year since the Blacktron Cruiser. This promo is £95/€100/$100, and imagine that type of distinction will continue, but perhaps some saw one threshold and assumed it to be the same for all three currencies.

Solid GWP’s with reasonable thresholds like this are my perfect time to fill in with sets that I definitely want but feel were a bit overpriced. Very happy to get the wildly cool monkey kid Nezha Fire Ring set. At $100, I felt the set was $10-$15 more than I’d like. $100 with a solid GWP, perfect.

@TBOC:
I had my cart loaded and ready to go, and put in my order at 12:10am, without checking to see if it had added (it hadn’t). I had to call in and have them manually add one. Playing around with it last night, and again before work, I added the most expensive Creator 3-in-1, City, Monkie Kid, and Friends sets (each over $150, each should have triggered it by itself), plus 3x Sad Tahu, and nothing worked. When I called it, it was working. Must be that someone forgot to flip a switch until they punched in this morning. Anyone who placed a qualifying order and did _not_ get one listed on their order, just call them up and they can handle that on the back end.

@rople:
Garmadon comic series?

@sjr60:
Placed a large PAB order yesterday, didn’t get the YotR or see it listed at the top of the page, so I assumed they ran out. The customer service rep I talked to said it was adding with this set when she checked the Viking ship, so she was able to hook me up with one of those as well.

@watcher21:
I don’t think 40499 qualifies for the Bionicle promo anyways.

@Brickbuilder0937:
From talking to one of the LEGO Store employees, this is something they can only discover by trial and error. Sometimes $100 means $100, other times it means $99.99, and other times it probably means $99.00 (not sure what mix of items will exactly hit that number, so the low end in those cases may be a WAG).

@Lordmoral:
If you can remember your VIP number, you can always place your order by phone.

This is a situation where I'll likely wait 'till the last minute (2/9) to see if there are any left, and then decide if I buy it. Seems like a neat display piece, probably going to be hellish to get second hand. I just have to wait and see.

Aaaand the BrickLink prices are already insane.

I don't normally jump on the negativety bandwagon 'cause it normally does nothing but suck the fun out of things, but.... I waited until the next morning to place my order because of the bug and now my qualifying set is on backorder until April. :(

Incidentally, when will there be an article on Brickset about the upcoming Architecture GWP?

Same here, I’ve found them to be quite effective at solving individual issues when they arise, better at customer service than most companies I’ve dealt with. Sitewide problems on the other hand… not so much. For instance the queue system when it gets busy is a nightmare, and this GWP delay was uncalled for (but ultimately solved). But whenever I’ve needed something related to a specific order, they have not disappointed me.

I love it and I will repeat it.

It's still not adding to my order, and I've got a $95+ order in the bag

Then consider yourself lucky. My personal experience is that customer service has been on a steady decline for years now and has never been as bad as currently. At least here in Germany. Perhaps customer service in the US is better. And as for website problems, every time new products launch the site is either down entirely, unreachable for hours, or orders don't get through, payment doesn't work the usual way, etc. etc.
When you call customer service they apologize and say they know about the issues and work on getting better. Next time round, the same issues, the same hollow answers.
Hence my sardonic first comment, since I have given up believing them.
"Fool me once,..." you know the saying.

Tried asking, but they wouldn't give,
Got a year of the rabbit though, so that's something.

As well as the Galaxy Explorer and Gandalf+Balrog brickheads that I actually wanted and went to get, so win

@TheOtherMike:
Try adding another $5. Spend in the US is listed as $100, and precise spend is reported to be $99.99.
