When is the book GWP? I am holding off getting Notre Dame until that drops

According to one Lego leak site, this is due from 21/6 to 30/6, so imminently. May not be the same in Lego Australia though.

I ordered Notre Dame from Big W - $279 less 10% everyday extra (this is definitely worth having if you spend more than $600 a year at Big W regardless of whether you shop at Woolworths) and a few $ in everyday rewards. Worked out at about 40% off. Figured I'd forgo a GWP for that.

Can you link me please? I saw it ages ago but didn't screenshot it.

 

[Neese]

I have enough rewards points for $75.off as well

I think I saw it through Brick Fanatics - https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-40690-tribute-to-jules-vernes-books-gwp

Could well be true - it's listed on the local Lego site - https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/tribute-to-jules-verne-s-books-40690

 

[Neese]

Sweet. Need that. Thank you

The Botanicals collection - although it has the occasional miss imo - is doing it yet again. These look terrific and likely priced at under $50 each.

Was disappointed they’ve put a $500 limit on purchases, definitely wasn’t there last month when I was looking at Millenium Falcon for May 4th.

I thought they'd always had a maximum discount of $50 at each of Big W and Woolworths each month, but that may be a new thing. Still good value though at $70 a year.

I've seen the Chrysanthemum described online as "the banana battle pack". Most appropriate . I don't think either of these looks as good as the orchid, but they will be more keenly priced and again manage a good level of realism with existing Lego pieces.

I'm going to Legoland in August

Neese the Jules Verne GWP is live now on lego.com, threshold is only $240 so Notre Dame easily qualifies.

There's also a mini Trophy GWP for purchase of $105 from certain themes.

Talking of that, I ordered Notre Dame but for 20% off from David Jones.

The Jules Verne GWP looks okay, but it doesn't close up and sort of a bit of all over the place.

I am a Librarian so I love the book ones. Will see if I can use my $75 off rewards to snag Notre Dame.

I hate the pot on both of these. Don't think I need them. I would love more insects though.

 

[Neese]

Used my $75 off reward and got Notre Dame and the book GWP for $274.99

Happy with that.

For me, it's actually better as it means the piece count (and price) is lower and I am not too fussed that it looks a bit too small as it's easier to display.

The orchid though is definitely still the best Botanicals set as of yet.

 

[Neese]

Yes the orchid is stunning.

20% off at Target for OnePass members. I think this is their usual school holiday sale with early access for members, so could be available for everyone later in the week.

Includes Tuxedo Cat, which I don't think I've seen anywhere else.

EDIT : Yep it seems to be an Early Access for OnePass members, with general availability from Thursday.

Thank you for the heads up, finally took the plunge and bought the Millennium Falcon, too good a price to resist.

Now to quit my job to build it…
