| Hello, I used to buy a lot of lego from the lego shop (before I discovered this
place though I still buy some from the Lego shop) and so I have lots of VIP points
to spend. Since they changed it to having to prebuy discount amounts I haven't
used any though. With the Forest Hideout set coming up as a freebie I was thinking
of using a bunch of points to cheapen a Blacksmith Shop set. Does the amount
spent towards getting the free set get calculated based off the amount of money
you spend before using VIP rewards or afterwards? I don't want to get
a bunch of rewards ready and then discover they make it so I can't get the
free set. I know some websites which have things like free shipping over certain
amounts punish things like coupons or points by making it the amount of money
spent versus value of purchase. Thanks.

I suggest calling Lego S@H on the telephone to place your order. The phone reps
should be able to answer all of your questions properly and place your order
so that your use of VIP points is maximized while not jeopardizing your ability
to get any gift-with-purchase items.
Have a written list of the items you are seeking to buy (with maybe one or two
alternate items) and be prepared to spend 30 minutes or more waiting for your
call to be answered. I have done this on more than one occasion and I assure
you it will be well worth the time waiting in the phone queue.
Good Luck.

First thanks for posting this! I wasn't aware there was going to be a Forest
Hideout GWP coming! Do you know when it will be available?
Second the GWP is based on the items before points are used. If you order on
line you will see all gifts added to the cart when you qualify for them. Unless
it is one you have purchase with VIP point.

Thank you! Hopefully some of the items I want to purchase will be in stock by
then, but doubt it.

| I know how you feel. There are very few sets that I want and at least one is
on backorder.

All items will count towards the gwp threshold however you pay. However you only
earn new VIP points on the bit paid with real money.

Very True.
So, TIP: NEVER cash in any existing VIP points during a Double-VIP point event.
You will earn far few double VIP points if you do.

Thanks, that's good to know. I'm not worried about getting more points
so the cheaper I can make the blacksmith the better while still getting the free
set.
