A slight update to the cancelled Vader Pod promotion that was supposed to happen mid-December. It’s still cancelled, but the substitute promotion is different for North America. As I said in my previous post, Brickset reported that the promo is cancelled due to quality control issues, and that customers can receive a 10% off discount on LEGO Star Wars sets instead. This is still applicable for the European market.
The North American market will be seeing a different promotion. Customers can instead get 100 bonus VIP points on all LEGO Star Wars sets purchased from Brand Retail locations or LEGO Shop@Home. This does not apply to the extended line such as books, keychains, magnets, and anything else that isn’t a building set. This promotion will run from December 15th-24th.
