And true to form, the purchase doesn't necessarily have to be Star Wars lego. You can purchase anything over $99 and receive the Shadow ARF. MMV works, as do many other sets.

Does it have to fall with in the March 15-now window? I had an order over $100 on 3/12, do you think it this will work?

I don't think it has to fall after March 15. Called them and got my trooper.

Agree, you can call or email them and that was what I did last time and they sent it to me within a week. Lego sales are not great, but their customer service I give them an A+!

I just gave the customer service a call tonight and the representative response was the promotion only applies to SW sets purchases over $99 only.
Even though my purchase was way over $100 (brought a town hall), i'm still not getting one... :sad:
Anyone have this experience?
Should I give them a call one more time?

Yes. A different representative could give you the free ARF trooper.

^^The promo clearly states 99 SW purchase. LEGO customer service is great, but people continually taking advantage of them can make a company change their position on things. Although it adds it to the cart automatically online with anything over 99, I can't help but think its unethical to try and call repeatedly to get one when the purchase clearly did not meet the terms. I am all for getting deals, but not trying to intentionally work around the system.

Would hate to see them say why bother getting rid of these freebies-too much hassle for people calling complaining, next time we just trash them..

So I took your advice and called. I first asked if the promo was only intended for Star Wars related purchase to which I was told "No, the promo is intended for any order over 99.00". I then asked when the promo went live and was told "March 15th". I then asked if my order that I placed on the March 16th could qualify me for one even though I did not enter the promo at the time of order. I was told it does and they will get one shipped out to me. YAY!

Lego has the best customer service of any body I have dealt with. Every time I have called the rep has been more then helpful and super friendly.

I really do not think me calling took advantage of them especially the way I handled it, asking about the intent of the promo first. In the last week I spent 750.00, I only asked for 1 Shadow Trooper since I only had one order in the time that the promo was active.

I just got off the phone with Lego, and they were super nice. I got the ARF, and the rep saw that I had ordered the Mini-modulars with that order, and wondered how I was liking it and whether I had any other modulars. :-D Also, super helpful with looking through the replacement parts for sand green bricks to build my own Green Grocer. Lego just makes me smile.
