    Ugh. I was buying the Delorean and Camaro and had redeemed the dragon ride with it, but didn’t see the $30 off coupon for the Camaro, so I canceled the order and used that instead. Tried to place another order to get the dragon ride but now it says it’s not valid bc it’s been used.

    THEN, they canceled the second order because I had 'exceeded the limit' on the Delorean, so now I've lost the Camaro code as well.

    Ordered the Hogwarts Express with the $100 off coupon to get the other two GWPs and I guess I get to have a fun time on the phone tomorrow trying to straighten the other stuff out.

    Is that something that you can contact customer care to straighten out? That seems kind of crappy.

    I "explained" the situation to the customer service chatbot last night. The question choices actually narrowed the problem down to basically "lost VIP redemption code."

    Before I even woke up this morning, somebody over there had sorted out what happened, and sent me new codes for the dragon ride and Camaro coupon. Already redeemed both. LEGO customer service comes through again.

    Note to...pretty much every other company we interact with regularly...if you treated your customers like LEGO does, people wouldn't hate you.

    Interesting because yeah, none of my stores seem to have it. I can't even find any Lego advent calendars at my Walmarts. I also couldn't find a listing on Target's ipad scanner.

    I had seen them at Target a few weeks ago too. If I get time in between work this weekend I'll pop back and check if they have any in stock still.

    I did some tweaks to Arishem to recreate the scene below from the movie.

    I haven't looked since I'm on a time crunch. It's for my wife's birthday next week. Every other year I've gone into Target the same weekend and picked it up without an issue.

    Picked up The Child (75318). At first I didn't like the Lego design but it grew on me...so I picked it up.

    Didn't realize til I was building him that his arms doesn't move. What you see is what you get. Oh well.

    I opened/built this recently (I know, I ruined the whole advent calendar gimmick :D ) and it's nothing too special as a set aside from the white pony. The hotel bellhop is kinda cool, I guess. I added him to the other bellhop for the hotel build in Capital City (60200), while the grocery store employee can join the one grocer in the recent Grocery Store set (60347; still annoyed that set only included one singular shopping cart).
