Still, no mention as yet of the UCS Middle Finger GWP to go with set 76232
;-)
The flowers are great, but I ended up buying it so now I wait for news about the Majisto GWP :)
Lego's GWPs. They are either a complete joke like this 12 in 1 thing, or a cash grab that's also stupid because GWPs are in such short supply thousands of customers will miss out on the GWP they want (eg Majisto Workshop) anyway, which therefore renders the point of a GWP useless. 1. The customer doesn't get what the want 2. They aren't going to spend more money in a purchase to get a GWP because they can't get it.
This 12 in 1 may have some useful parts, but the spend threshold is quite high (I doubt many people will spend extra to get it), while those that would like it will, as usual, miss out.

I think that GWP is more geared for set 42146 :)
In the US the Winter Elves Scene 40564 has returned as an in store only GWP with purchases of $170 or more. Offer runs 7/21 - 7/27 while supplies last.

A Technic version with some nice mechanism to raise the finger? I'd buy that!
Too bad the price cuts are over!

I'd buy it on ebay / BL. It is similar in style and size to the 24 in 1 Christmas set (40253) and that has been sold on the secondary market for about £6-8 (plus postage if necessary) for ages.
Anyone else get the email about updating the VIP Terms and Conditions (I am in the US) - does not look like a major change, but....

Yeah, I got that email too (Germany). Don't really know what to make of it though. Doesn't seem like anything that matters.
Is this the second time flower pot comes back but not for US?
Flowerpot is nice, we just built it a couple days ago. Do yourself a favor and put a 1x1 round plate in the center on each of the sides covering the hole and breaking it up a little bit visually.
Nice GWPs, but I don't really need another Flowerpot. Good that the 12-in-1 rolls over into August. Hopefully the 'Now you see it, Now you don't' Houses of the World 3 will appear on 1/8 and the originally announced 1/7 was just a mistype!
My LEGO friends have started to treat GWPs like normal sets, if they want them they buy them from reseller’s rather than buy a ££££ set(s)
Used to be you could buy a premium set, keep the GWP and then re-sell the ££££ set. Might be cost of living etc, but doesn’t seem to work out anymore

Before it was new zealand
This is just the second time europa gets it.
I'm not bothered we aren't getting the Flowerpot again as I already have 2. Bugs me that the Elves set is in store only. I really want another but that means a 3 hour trip to & from the Lego Store in order to get it. Have to decide if it's worth giving the store a call to see if they'll hold a few things for me if they still actually have the Elves set.
Thanks for the heads-up, Brickset!
I cancelled a previous pre-order in order to get these lovely little gifts.
Does anyone (anywhere, but mostly UK) know if LEGO 'refund' VIP points on cancelled orders...?
