I don't know if that's £45 worth of HS or any Lego as the promo actually isn't live yet (it's reported to start on 2nd) and adding £45 + of any Lego, including HS, to my basket does not add the promo. Another Lego mess up, but it does mean that we will be getting the promo in the UK. I know some people over on Brickset having seen the UK calendar thought we weren't and were annoyed about it. For some reason it’s $129 AUD, which does not equate to £45 or $50 USD. Australia gets screwed over again . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I barely go to Shop@Home anyway, and, silly me assuming the promo would only be valid on HS sets, just a couple of weeks ago I bought the Dragon Boat set and the new Ninjago and Spider-Man minifig packs. All together, if I’d just waited that would have been enough to qualify me for the Juice Bar . . oh well. I dn’t have the money to buy up enough sets for the Bar and won’t get enough before the promotion ends, so I’ll have to watch BrickLink for anyone selling them in the secondary market. Why oh why, Lego, did you have to include stickers? Couldn’t you have made it just out of common parts? :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only buy when there's a promo and a exclusive set that balances out the price. I want the new Friends set though and had seen articles about this promo coming up and thought I should just wait and see if the promo will apply. Who knows, tomorrow may come around and it may just be HS purchases that qualify. I'm sorry you missed out. ?

ukaskew Posted September 1, 2019 I need to order the Friends set asap but I'm not going to risk ordering and not get the promo. I'm guessing they've put that banner up too early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Megbricks Posted September 9, 2019 I got 3 of those juice bar sets with my new orders... I guess this promo set is to get people into HS. Or to try it out. Last night I assembled one only To find out that this set is not yet in the app so I couldn’t try it. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gomek Posted September 14, 2019 1. Its a nice promo in the US as I got two juice bars. I think a lot of those sets will hit ebay and be fairly inexpensive (though not compared to free) 2. I'm glad I got it for free as when I went to load the app on my (not new but not that old) ipad, it said my ipad lacked some feature and it could not work. Had I bought a big set for my kids and found that out I would have been really annoyed. (Though to be honest, not that big a deal for me personally as I sadly don't have time for games) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Juice Bar isn’t in the app? Like, at all? Disappointing. . . I still want it. There’s a bunch of listings on eBay if anyone’s looking for it and doesn’t mind the mark-up. (Better than buying enough to register the promo on Shop@Home, since it’s so easy to get most sets discounted if you know where to look - just this past week I got Major Vonreg’s TIE Fighter for 36% off and Rex’s Rexplorer for about 60% off!)

Darnok Posted September 24, 2019 Weirdly enough, HS sets were on solid discounts for as long as I have seen them. That includes a time when it wasn't even on sale in the Lego store nearby, believe it or not. Right now we seem to be in a "sale before Christmas season"-season, since a lot of Lego sets are discounted at the usual suspects. But a month ago only HS was - make of that what you will. I really hpe it is just heavy advertisement, since I so want this line to succeed. The app is of no interest to me, but the sets are just fresh and great. I love the Hidden Side theme, and want to see it for years to come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's probably just the usual build-up to Christmas toy sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing as that was my first Hidden Side set, yes, I would have been beside myself that it's not included. The incompetence of giving away a set, to gain interest in a theme, when that set is not featured in the app your promoting, is off the charts. That will have the exact opposite result. I was even thinking it would be pretty cool if they included some not Hidden side sets in the app to drive interest. That would be cool. I mean, if the app could actually be used by people who don't have the latest iPad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it is actually a delivery guy, or just the possessed version of the dude in the Shrimp Shack Attack (70422). Either ay, at least it is a 100% useful minifig!

It shows up in some stores, but it'll tell you you can't download it, if that's an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
