10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout: Not before January 1, 2013

This is not the scoop of the year, but there is still one thing that annoys me, so I am talking about it here: The set 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout is listed on the LEGO Shop at a price of 159.99 €. It's expensive, but let's say that after all it's not a problem, it will sell by buckets.

Where LEGO takes us a bit for idiots is that the manufacturer indicates that it is possible to obtain 319 VIP points for this set, i.e. a discount of around € 15 to be used later on the site (... Earn 1 point for every € 1 spent. For every 100 points collected, we offer you € 5 to spend on a future purchase! ...). But this information is false, for a very simple reason. VIP points are doubled only during the month of October, and it is not possible to order this set at this time. And it will probably not be possible to order it before October 31, 2012.

You will tell me that it is the automatic doubling of VIP points system for all LEGO products during the month of October that is responsible for this situation. This is undoubtedly true, but the fact remains that LEGO could have foreseen this situation. (The same goes for the set 10233 Horizon Express).
