I got something in the post, if I remember correctly, over a certain amount you get 10% off. It didn't have mention of the sets that would be on sale though. Previously I think they have distributed a list to fan sites shortly before.
Hmm... I'm kind of hoping that they'll have some particular sets for a decent percentage off. Particularly the older ones that I've got sitting in my cart. :-D 10% off everything won't really compel me. Last year there were only a few deep discounts and lots of other stuff (including a ton of gear) at 5-10% off.
Wasn't it last year where there was quite a few older sets with various percentage discounts but the second all the items went on sale, they showed up as sold out online. Seem to remember a lot of hints that maybe it was a bit of an online bait and switch/scam. Memory is a little hazy though, I might be thinking of post Christmas (or New Year?) sales instead.
For me, the last few years BF has pretty much been a bust, but after Christmas sales have been pretty good to me. It used to be Target where you could clean up, but last year my local Walmarts all had huge piles of 50% off sets. I picked up so many for my personal brick stash that even I was embarrassed when I got to the checkout, and that takes a lot!
US affiliate Brick Friday preview just came. Lots of sets at 50% off. Most are either Chima, Gear, DUPLO or sold out or retired already. Seriously, can't they double check to make sure the sets are still available before offering a discount on them? Many of these have been discontinued or sold out for months.
And the mining sets I need to finish my collection aren't even on that list.
Apparently double VIP points though and free shipping on any order. Glad I ordered during the early event. Triple points.
Am (still) no party to this list, but it seems to me as a "great" chance (50% off) to restock (after parting out)...., as long as it is Leog it's welcome in our store....
Looks like you'll be buying Speedorz sets with a vengeance! Actually the Eagle Castle is on the list, seems like a halfway decent part out set. Of note also are Goblin King and Wargs both for 30% off and the Mini Modulars for 20% off. The latter one has lots of small parts and a good part out value. Probably be limited to 2 on that one.
This is the US list though, Brits don't get too excited.
that I've been waiting so patiently for. They weren't on sale but I had enough VIP points to cover it and shipping was free on any order. I had thought about trying to reach $99 to get the holiday set but was seriously uninspired by everything else. Besides, saving some money to see what Cyber Monday might bring...
