LEGO Store VIP Event Nov 23rd

Post by Slogghead »

Just got my invite for the Lego store VIP Event for Guildford on the 23rd.

Did anyone else get one of these? What do they offer?

I think it's their pre Black-Friday sale.

Yup, and they usually give away a little something at the door. Last year they gave everyone a holiday box that they could fill after x-mas from the PaB wall as well. And there were sales. It was fun. I got my invite and will go again.

No invite :cry:
Does it have to do with how much Lego you buy? I haven't bought much Lego this year...

I just got my invite to Guildford Mall yesterday, and I haven't bought much from the Lego Store this year. So there's still hope.

I was told that is was the top 100 spenders for each store that get the invites, and that the first 50 (I think) to RSVP get the spots.

All I know is my brother out spent me by a factor of 10 and didn't get an invite. That's why I figured it was just luck of the draw.

For myself and my daughter we ended up with 3 pick a brick boxes, free keychain, free set valued up to $16.99, exclusive holiday set and triple points from buying 75025 Jedi Defender Class Cruiser. I wanted the Ewok village, but I am pretty sure it will be under the tree this year...lol

Used some points and gift card and only spent $11!

I <3 you LEGO!

I missed out this year. Was the key chain exclusive, promotional, or otherwise not normally attainable?
