Flowerpot available now
Posted by Huw,
40588 Flowerpot, one of the more desirable of this year's gifts with purchase, is now available at LEGO.com.
It's free with purchases exceeding £130 / $150 / €150 until 24th April, and 40582 4x4 Off-Road Ambulance Rescue makes a return as well, free with orders over £95 / €100, also until the 24th.
If you're in Australia or New Zealand, instead of the ambulance, 40589 Pirate Ship Playground is the second gift with purchase, free when spending over AU$170 / NZ$180.
So, spend big, and you'll receive two GWPs!

$240 threshold in Aus, btw
In New Zealand $260 threshold. I got the Flowerpot. Also got the Pirate Ship Playground as I passed the $180 threshold.
Not available in the US yet, although I can still get the Easter Basket as well as the Spring Fun VIP pack. By the time it *is* available, I suspect the set I want will be out of stock...sigh.
£130 threshold is pretty good for the Flowerpot plus the Ambulance, although a non duplicate GWP would have been even better.
Caught up with a few small Creator sets that weren't on discount elsewhere yet.
Interesting that the Ambulance makes a return. I wonder if the Bionicle GWP will also make a return, but that preceded the 4x4 ambulance so likely not.
Be selective about when you buy from Lego.com to maximize GWP and double points. I forgot this was coming and spent $70 at Pick-A-Brick, only getting the VIP pack and Easter basket. I should have waited for this... and bought eight more cows.

Gratz lucky guy, in Europa we get the Ambulance instead.
Going to the store tomorrow, with a little luck they'll still have some easter baskets in stock too. Two to three GWPs for 150? Sign me up!
I assume these are valid for in-store purchases as well? Or is it only on LEGO.com?
Quite pleased to see that the ambulance is back (Missed it first time around). £130 for two GWPs does sound attractive - I may just have to head up to the store after work
Becoming more and more of a struggle to spend at Lego.com, as the majority of sets can be bought for 30% cheaper elsewhere, and D2Cs are now typically £200+.
Regional Exclusivity?
In the US as of 6 AM, Flowerpot is advertised in listings, but not showing up in cart, instead it's a spring add on pack. Either it's sold out already or something is broken :/
Thanks for the update, used my VIP points for the Jazz Club.

I imagine it is simply timing. The playground will likely be available in other regions later this year.

I didn't have any trouble getting it to show up in the cart, so if it was a bug, it looks like it's fixed.
Just bought the Chinese Parade 80111 and the Ferrari SP3 Daytona book, which is finally back in stock.
Just grabbed 77015 plus a single CMF and qualified for the Spring Fun pack, the flower pot and the off-road ambulance. Pretty decent GWP haul!

I put 77015 and a second set (to get over the flower pot minimum purchase) into my cart last night, but only got the Easter Basket and the Spring Fun pack added, so didn't go ahead and buy. This morning the cart was adjusted to have the flower pot and the ambulance instead of the Easter Basket, and when I removed the second set all the GWPs stayed in place--so I pulled the trigger. One of those cases when literally being a penny short wasn't used to force a larger purchase, for which I'm very grateful!

Nice! I added the CMF because 77015 was on Backorder, and I wanted the GWPs sooner.
Ah yes perfect time for me to sell off the family farm to buy Rivendell.

I've never seen a penny short not qualify. A $69.99 set qualified for the Easter Basket, a $149.99 set qualifies for this, etc. However, two pennies short won't qualify, so combinations of items must always exceed the threshold.
There are currently a few sale items over $10 but less than $11 (such as 40535 Iron Man Brick Sketch for $10.19). which could help if anyone is trying to combine multiple items while barely topping $150 rather than hitting $154.9 or $159.9.
This promo start date surprised me, so I had to quickly figure out which items I wanted to meet the threshold, decisions decisions. So I picked up the WV Main St set, a pumpkin storage head, Chip & Dale Brickheadz & Elsa and the Nokk storybook. What a strange combination from my wanted list to meet the threshold.

I'm selling off the family (kidneys 'n all) to get my Riverdell.
Now, this is pot-racing!!
