KringlesBricks Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) So...we all have been there with crush boxes...but my GingerBread House (which I received from S@H today) was severely crushed - I was crushed this Limited Edition box came crushed. All other set boxes were perfect except for this one. So, I called my local Lego Store asking if I can swap my crushed box for a new one - the guy on the other end said sure!. Got in my car and headed to my local Lego store (down the street) Got in the check-out line (picking up a 48x48 Baseplate which I need for the Ferris Wheel to sit on) and showed the lady my crushed box along with my Baseplate. She rang up the Baseplate and tossed my CRUSHED Box in the Bag! I go...hey, can I swap this for a new one. She said, sorry I can't. I then say, a gentleman on the phone said I could. Then she made a comment...well, the warehouse probably had a box fall on another box and crushed all the Gingerbread House sets. I'm like great...and they still put them in the order... So, I then asked about the Wall Calendar that I didn't receive in my over $100 order I placed online. So, she went ahead and threw one in my bag along with a new perfectly minted Gingerbread House set. After paying I thanked her for replacing my crushed set and handing me a wall calendar. I get home and go what's this big sticker on the back of the calendar...it was the month of December! ...has anyone noticed the month of December 2016 in the Calendar?? Lego made a miss-print...from November 30th to December 1st. Apparently whoever signed off on the 2016 Lego Calendar forgot to put in December 2016...and left December 2015.

Vorkosigan Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 So you got an extra gingerbread house? That is a pretty good deal. I don't know about the calendar. Quote
rbarnaby Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Yeah my store gave me a HUGE sticker to go with my calendar when I checked out. It covers the December 2015 dates with 2016 dates. It is definitely a big miss, but not that big of a deal, the sticker fixes the problem. Thankfully my GB house box wasn't crushed. Quote
OmShanti Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 It's great that they replaced the set for you. Unfortunately I missed out on the Gingerbread House and the Calendar because S@H site wasn't working for me (kept refreshing to main page, no matter what I tried) and the nearest Lego store is in another state.

KlodsBrik Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I just got this calendar ( I think ) today when i purchased the Doctor Who ideas set. However i dont see any misprints in this. If i get you right , it should be on the second last page where the whole of December month is ? Free Nexo nights cycle during the month of march, and 100 free VIP bonus points during April .... Glad i got two of this calendar ! Oh, and i got both the gingerbread house and the Christmas train ?( 40138 ), since the guy that works there hadnt seen me for a looong time. Nice purchase. Now i just wonder if its the same calendar we are talking about since i se no misprints in mine. Quote
