   My favourite part was when the Spring Lantern Festival disappeared from the website at midnight.

     Yes, same here. The New Years sets have vanished (again – happened from wish lists earlier in December). It’s now 12.20am and many of the new ninjago sets, including the one available with double VIP still say “coming January 1”.
     Looks like 2021 is starting with another wild ride on the lego web site!

     Bit hard to get information out of anybody at this time of the year but as soon as I know more about the CNY sets I’ll let everybody know.

   The Chinese New Year sets have disappeared, again. What The What?

   The Duplo Chinese New Year set sold out quick! Luckily I managed to get one. Hope it’s not the bloody scalpers!

   Spoke too soon. Just checked my order status and it says ‘Waiting for new stock’ on the Happy childhood moments Duplo set 🙁
   Won’t be happy childhood moments if my kids don’t get it!

   Why does my Australian Lego site order say 31 December? It is 1 January in Oz.

   Bruni is not available either but for the moment looks like Sesame Street and the new botanicals are…

   So, at 1am the 2xVIP for ninjago 71737 has been removed from the banners/artwork on the offers page, but is still listed on the product’s page and in the Ts&Cs as being eligible for double VIP.
   Now all of these ninjago sets have changed from “‘coming soon on January 1” to “coming soon”
   I assume you’re telling me to go to bed, and that my money is no good here?
   What’s up Lego?

     Okay, so I didn’t go to bed. Now the ninjago 71737 product page no longer says the set is eligible for double VIP (the Ts&Cs still do), but now says I can get the GWP car if I spend over £85 (yes, pounds sterling).
     I may be running a fever. Time to get tested?

   Thanks for the heads up Michael. Just pulled the trigger on the Harry Potter Hogwarts Moments sets and got the Monster book of Monsters and the vintage car with free delivery (although I needed to buy 2 Series 21 minifigs – pot luck, who knows I might get lucky and receive the Space policeman and the Centaur Warrior – fingers crossed).

   1.36am. The new year sets are available now.

    FYI for everyone: Vintage Car GWP doesn’t seem to apply until you’re over $199, not $169 for some reason. Still, not that hard to do…

      GWP worked for me when I bought the Duplo set for $170

    I ordered the Spring Lantern Festival at 1:30am. Still has not shown up in my order list … but they have billed for it.

    Looks like free car is gone …. 🙁

    So I ordered the lantern festival and the dragon dance Guy on New Year’s day and I’m 99% sure it showed the free vintage car GWP added to the cart. My wife got the email order confirmation today 3 days later and the GWP is absent. Any ideas on whether we’ll still get it? We deliberately separated our orders one per Lego account to get two of the cars. Hopefully we can still get it. I’ve emailed Lego to check.

      I finally received my email confirmation from the order just after midnight on Jan 1 and both the Vintage Car and the Book of Monsters are missing from the invoice. They were definitely in the cart at checkout. It’s infuriating. I’ve also emailed to find out…..

      Same, confirmation email with no car after ordering the two new CNY sets.

      I think the T&C’s said one per household not one per account.

        Julian January 4, 2021Reply

        Yep we deliberately set up my wife’s account at her parent’s house to try and get the GWP. I suspect they just ran out which is a shame because our order was put in around 8am 1/1/2021

    It’s a shame the GWPs never last – at least this one managed a few days instead of a few hours. Lego can surely project demand for these and cater better? The Book of Monsters lasted mere minutes :(.

    I can’t have been more screwed over by lego. Ordered at 12:38am, and order went missing in their system. After contacting support, it appears with the gift with purchase gone, and the spring lantern festival set on back order. What is the point of their online ordering system?

    I ordered the Spring Lantern Festival on Saturday. Looks like it didn’t go through, and the product is now missing from the store.
