Personally, I think it would be smarter for them to do the 2xVIP promo during the VIP exclusive period next month, instead of a month later. That's the kind of incentive that will get more people to sign up for the program (which, ostensibly, is the point of a VIP exclusive period).

Thanks for the heads up! Now the question is, do I buy stuff now or risk the chance of them being sold out in March?

The Pet Shop. I've seen it in store, but it's sold out online.

Do you think the Slave 1 will still be available then?

@Brick and Blue - The Helicarrier. Would love to get it the day it is available but I can hold out and wait until Double VIP points for it.

I'm assuming the new big sets will still be around, however the big Batmobile, didn't that sell out quickly? You could always look into what LEGO's return policy is and buy it sooner, then return it and buy another during the sale to make sure.

I won't be buying the Helicarrier but I'm anxiously awaiting double VIP points. I've postponed buying a few sets until double points period. Fingers crossed they will also have some good clearance items left online during this period? Add more items or drop prices further? I can hope but I have a feeling most of the good items will be gone by then.

I'm getting some Maersk ships since they are retiring soon, plus maybe pet shops. I can't wait with Maersk since it may move to 'sold out' soon, plus pet shop has been around for so long, I'm afraid it may not be available much longer...

don't take any chances! I've seen quite a few posts of regret on this forum over the years from people who didn't buy sets when they had the chance

Yeah I placed an order at the beginning on the month because I was worried that the Easter set and free promos would run out, but I could have waited.

Great...went to the lego store today and the Easter Egg set was sold out. One of the employees gave me a free shipping code, so I could order it online. Get home...and it's "sold out"...

Does anyone think this set will come back in stock? If not, I'd be willing to trade someone a set for a new Painting Easter Eggs set...or pay them...

Why didn't The LEGO Store just order the set for you? Because it was in stock until like 12 hours ago. It's gone, it's gone, it's not coming back, it's why I hop on these special holiday sets really quick. I do which I ordered some extras, but they aren't really wrath $10.

In the past, I've had them order for me, but the employee simply handed me the free shipping code card thing and that was good enough for me. I think it might have been because they were busy. Also, I had no idea the set was going to sell out today...I hope it comes back in stock or I can find someone who has a spare that I can buy off of them or trade for. There's always ebay...

I missed last year's bunny and had to buy it from Amazon for $13, but this year's set is $25 right now. (Third Party sellers).

These little holiday sets never make it back in stock. The only other thing I can think of is if you are near Boston, or somewhere with many different stores you can try to track one down.

I'm kind of shocked they didn't sell out sooner, but I think the double points did it, it was the number 1 seller in the USA for it's last few days. In the UK the set runs out within a week. Maybe buy a few Halloween sets and trade. I'd trade with you, but only bought one. (Low on LEGO funds.)

Sometimes, it's not worth waiting for Double VIP. It only gives you an extra 5% which for $10 is 50 cents and for $20 a $1 savings.
