I placed a few orders from LEGO.com that gave the trifecta of "gift(s) with
purchase" of the rabbit, chinese new year and houses of the world. If these
are only offered for a two week period - and they have a 60 day back order -
will I get the ones on the order or the ones during the week of shipment?

They usually ship the GWP right away, the backordered sets will ship once they
are available.

He wants to know which gifts he will get. The ones offered during the period
within which he placed his order, or the ones offered at the time of shipping
his order?

Cheers ...

I've never received a GWP before backordered items, but LEGO is very good
about honoring GWP promotions on orders placed within the promotional timeframe.
Just yesterday I received some backorder items from mid Decemeber and the GWP
(VIP funky add-on pack) was included.

  They usually ship the GWP right away, the backordered sets will ship once they
are available.

Perfect; thank you.

FWIW, I got the January GWP before my backordered items (one of my backordered
items was the Nissan Skyline).

In my experience, it depends if they run out. It is a good idea to include something
small and in stock if purchasing back ordered items with GWPs. That way the small
item gets sent immediately with the GWPs.

Aaaah, good thinking. I generally break up the big ticket items in to multiple
orders in order to get more of the GWPs, but I've only done that maybe three
times so far. I didn't even think about adding a blister pack or something
to the orders.
