Sets on sale
There will also be a number of sets for 20% off. I don’t know which ones yet but I’m excited to find out. Update: I shouldn’t have been too excited. It’s a bit of random mix. You can find the sale sets here.

Browsing the NZ website it gives us a hint of what to expect
Oof, not gonna be easy to hit $209 if *that’s* the selection we’re getting
Wow such a disappointment of sale items
Extremely underwhelming compared to last year. Last weekend was definitely the time to buy. Sadly there aren’t even restocks of sets like the Crocodile and Elf Clubhouse.
One interesting offer, seemingly for today only, is you can redeem a $7.50 coupon for half the usual number of points. Might be worth doing, depending on how long the coupon is valid for.
Personally I’ve never shopped below $150 and pay for shipping as Lego.com is almost always RRP. Only buy from Lego.com when there is double/triple points, GWP, and always above $150 total with free delivery. So for me I almost always save up to a sizeable VIP points and redeem it for $150 off. I’d rather go to other retailers if I was planning to buy smaller sets, 20-30% off RRP, free delivery threshold .
I’ve seen this promotion for other stores but can’t seem to find it on the Australian one. They have a contest for 1 million VIP points. It’s definitely available in the US and UK, are we excluded from it?
Seems the Dickens GWP has sold out, not added to cart with qualifying purchase any more.
The Sydney stores had the Skating Rink GWP today for a $200 spend, I assume that will come to lego.com soon.
In case anyone’s still checking Lego’s sale, today (Monday 30 November), VIPs can redeem a $30 voucher for 1,350 points (half the usual cost). The voucher is valid for the usual 30 days so if you’re planning to buy anything before Christmas, this is a good way of saving a little.
The catch appears to be you can only do this once per VIP membership.
Thanks Andrew. I posted this as a separate article now.
