[US] October 2011 LEGO Store Calendar

[peanut]

Since my store sold out of the microplane poly in a few days (Sept promo), I think I need to go October 1st to get the apple and on the 17th to get the holiday set as I'm not convinced they'll have both promos available at the same time.

ya you're probably right - my plan to get 2 freebies with one purchase might make me miss the apple but I'll probably still try and if it's gone and or not allowed to stack I'll be happier with the holiday set in the long run.

And $75 bucks ahead in my LEGO budget for once lol.

I see nothing but a ton of the Brick Apple set any time I go to my local brand stores. I don't think they're going to sell out all that quickly. That said, I'm not as interested in the Brick Apple as I am in the winter themed set, so if they don't have any more BA's I wont' be that disappointed. If they still have them by the 17th, it will be a pleasant extra.

Someone that have the October calendar...can you confirm me if the free apple set is the whole month or not? Because in this link it says it is until October 16.

That's odd... maybe they changed it? If you click on the link 'Front' under 'Larger Images' in my initial post, it indeed does say Oct. 1-31. It does, however, also explicitly state that it cannot be combined with any other offer, discount or free gift, meaning you can't stack the $75 and $99 offers in one $99 purchase.

It also says October 16 for the West Nyack, Elmhurst, NYC and Garden City store "special offers" pages - it's basically the exact same copy on each page, so it could either be a typo that was pushed to all store special offer pages, or it's a new stipulation to the offer.

Regardless, I'm still not going to spend $75 and THEN $99 to get both freebies, I'm in it for the holiday-themed freebie this month and next, and try to get the wife to agree to yet another a $75 purchase in December so I can get the PaB box.

Today I bought a Winter Post Office and a $5 key chain and they gave me the Brick Apple set as a bonus.

But you shop at the NYC store right? Isn't that a usual inventory item at that store? I've never seen the apple here before this promo.

This is definitely YMMV, back over the summer I made a purchase and they gave me the free Max Key Chain (I didn't even ask for it) and the ADU Jet Pack when I made a purchase. The Key Chain was because I happened to be there on "Club Member Day" (usually two days a month). I think all the promos say they don't stack, but your cashier may or may not comply (and the register/computer didn't seem to care).

I have the printed calendar in front of me and the Apple Set "coupon" indicates:

Offer valid October 1 - 31st in LEGO Stores Only.

It may be YMMV. I was just at the Indianapolis store today. They told me they've changed the offer. The apple deal is only until October 16 now.

I'm sure if you brought in the flyer/coupon you could probably argue your case.

Does anyone know what the fire chief set is that is mentioned?

Does anyone know if you need the coupon like cut out with the bar code from the October calendar for the Apple and the Holiday sets or can you just go in and buy the required amount for each one?

I sure hope the dates are still the same as on the calendar as I wasn't planning on getting the Apple until Monday when the Holiday set is available.

I've never been asked for the "coupon" you may have to remind the associate if the forget though, but they have a card at the register with all the necessary codes to give out the promos. In the past I've had to say, "hey don't I get XYZ free today?"

[1brickshyofcrazy]

I was able to pickup the Holiday set 1 of 2 on Monday but the Apple set was gone and no longer available not even with the October calendar in hand would they honor it but I'm OK with it.

I was able to grab a 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van set and 8071 Bucket Truck set

I did notice on this visit that the 10155 Maersk Container Ship set was finally gone from the shelves.
I mention this because the visit before about 2 weeks ago there was about 6 to 8 available.

Note, Sunrise, FL opening super delayed, lol. I wonder where or when R2-D2 will be built

How do I know? I'm in charge of the Brand Ribbon models, LOL. From googling the store and seeing me curious about this store to being in charge of one of the defining parts of the store.

My progress is here:

Oh hey! I've been keeping up with your videos on YouTube. Keep up the good work man. I would love to be in charge of the Brand Ribbon models if a store opens up here anything soon.
