Nope no objections just wanted to see where we were at.

Not sure whether I'll participate this time around, but another decent parts pack set to consider is the Porsche 918 Spyder: linkYou could even do 2 of them for the same price as Laketown of Mirkwood Elves. The downside being there's no cool Castle minifig parts.

I am trying to recruit an eighth participant. It would be helpful if Schmidt, jarek, and isundir could weigh in on their preference between the mirkwood and laketown sets as we currently have 2 votes for each of them. Once we have a clear choice on set preference, I would like to get things going even if we only have seven people unless someone objects. I prefer Laketown.

That's four for Laketown which makes a majority. I'll look around this evening at prices online. If any of you bargain lords have a good source speak up.
Soccerkid, that set is an amazing parts pack. I would draft it and will probably buy a set now that you brought it to my attention. Thanks!

It seems that ordering from Lego would be the best way to get these sets. If we get them that way, we'd have a few tractors to add to the draft parts. I haven't found what October's promotion will be.
If anyone has an alternative to suggest, please do so. I'd like to place orders soon.

So is the final consensus that you'll do Laketown + Witch King = $30 + $15 = $45 total buy-in + shipping, correct? Also, if you wait until October, you'll get double VIP points

Yes, $45 plus tax and shipping. I'm sure there will be some kind of online promotional item too. I will split orders up to hit the $75 free shipping mark but still get as many bonus items for the draft as possible.

Very smart.
2 laketown + 1 witchking would get you within a few pennies of $75

Okay strong bad. I will place an order for stuff next week, then I will ship you the sets if your okay with that. ( sorry but I want my points ) i am okay with sending the promotion with it depending on what it is will have to wait and see. If they still have the sets at the store I will pick them up then as I am heading there next week too. In either case I will get you the sets shortly

That's fine Curt. All of my Lego stores stopped carrying them a month ago but yours might have more shelf space.
Edit: Won't shipping be more than even double points are worth?
