[USA] catalog coupon for LEGO store

Post by ncbarrett » Fri Sep 09, 2011 10:05 am

Got latest catalog and it has a 10% off coupon on it.
good through the end of the month I think.

As in the past , it probably won't be on every catalog, but keep an eye out for yours.
I have inoperable cancer and am unable to work. Any gifts would be appreciated. Thank you!

Went to the Braintree one in the mall today-used my coupon on a Medieval Market Village. WooHoo.

Not on mine. Guessing it's the old "VIP members more than 60 miles from a store get diddly" schtick.

^^Agreed. I loyally travel to a lego store once a month.....always more than 60 miles away. Granted I normally have other stuff to do in the city as well, but would be nice to see a coupon still.

Why? You could get from walmart.com for $89 any day of the week. I would use it for the sw calendar or the mace windu set or mersk set. All the above are hard to find in other stores and have no further discounts.

Why? VIP points. Sure, I got it for the same price as walmart-but I also accumulated 5 dollars in VIP points by purchasing it. Reached the threshold for the police boat and cashed in some points I had toward some other sets. What's the point of asking why? It's done. I had a great time, did some Christmas shopping and enjoyed the day. I rarely get to go to the Lego store. Your options you might use the coupon on are nice but I loathe Star Wars sets and the Maersk set is and will always be out of my price range. To each his own.

For those who did not receive a coupon, I would recommend e-mailing LEGO Customer Service and letting them know you are disappointed and that you are willing to travel (and do) to LEGO Stores. Perhaps if enough people complain, they will widen the range of the coupons.

I think LEGO is pretty good at listening to customers and when they see how much you have spent they may change their marketing plans.

With the coupon maersk train would have only been $18 bucks more. ;-) :mrgreen:

How do you guys get your catalogs? I NEVER get them in the mail automatically - I have to go online to lego.com to request a physical catalog every time!

I got mine as well and now I need to decide which set I want from the Lego store. Decision decision so little time left to use the discount and so many sets to choose from.

that's easy. go for exclusives or dang tru's limited edition or walmart's limited edition.

wally very very seldom have sale on lego especially exclusive sets. tru's exclusives are $10 mark ups making them super expensive and sale would just bring them to msrp. and current exclusives are the maersk sets and pet shop.

skip on target exclusives since you can easily get a 10% coupon and coupled with a few rebate sites and the red card's 5% off you can easily knock 18% off or more.

How often does the catalog come out? I got my first one about 6 weeks ago but haven't seen another since.

Thanks,

I believe, from past discussions here, that LEGO is marketing to a specific demographic with the coupon on the catalog. They are sent to VIP Members who live within a certain distance from a LEGO Store. Since the catalogs are printed with the address for this specific marketing "event", I'm guessing that if you call to request a catalog now, or say you didn't get yours they are going to send you one that does not have a coupon. They probably have printed lots of catalogs to give out at the store, that do not have the coupon on it and this is probably what you get if you call now.

My summer catalog came with the coupon and I'm a VIP member who lives close to a brand store... (about a 20 min drive)

I think someone called and you had to be within 50 or 60 miles of a brand store. I am a VIP member and live within 10 to 25 miles of three separate stores so thankfully I do get these coupons.
