Menards Free National Power and Light building

thats a good deal

I went for the Gamer and Thrones. Unless it was me, only one P&L with qualified structure per order? I originally tried to order two qualified structures and added 2 P&L's but only one was credited back. I had to change my order back to only 1 qualified structure. I hope this recently new cc ifo doesnt get scammed like the last one did.

Thanks for posting, @PRRick!

Here's a shot of the qualifying buildings. I've also attached the full email below.

Menards has been VERY good to this hobby

Great deal, I forgot to order power supply….is it two late…picked a brewery to go go with power plant…perhaps to many brews for me

Thankyou Mark for awesome customer service

I am a bit behind the curve on ordering O gauge stuff from Menards and ould like to take advantage o the free bldg if still available. I am a little confused over the ordering process. If I am totally out of the "reach" off a local store, do I still need to select a store during the ordering process? If yes, it appears I am restricted by the indicated stocking leel of the local store. Can someone help with this uestion, concerning the ordering process

Thanks,

Denis

Hi Denis,

You shouldn't have to select a store. Place both buildings in your cart and select the "ship to home" option. On the right side, you will see the promotion discount of ($99.99).

Here is an example of what your cart will look like.

Could not turn that deal down, thanks for posting the info.  I bought the brewery for a place my hopper cars can now go, and that power plant will still be burning Bunker C out of my tank car fleet.

Already have the American Power Plant - same as freebee in ad. Disappointed.....

Mark, about 15 minutes ago I ordered 2 National Powers by mistake?

Is there a way to convert one to the Sprecher Brewery? I can send the order #

Can’t you go back and log in again and change your order?  I know that used to be an option if you were quick enough with changing your mind.

I also could not turn that deal down already have a Brewery so I ordered Gamer and Thrones and got the power plant. Thanks for posting I jut ignored the email.

Rick, how do you see the in stock amount? I have a few rolling stock I was interested in and didn’t want them to slip away.

Great deal!!! I ordered the Tide factory along with the National Power and Light deal. Added a few other rolling stock, a plug, and a die cast car too.

If you add a random huge quantity (say 1,000 for example) then go to checkout it'll default to the actual number available.

467 left, they're selling fast! I hope they're using this promo to move inventory and make room for new items.

Incredible deal.  I just ordered the Tampa Towers.  Although I prefer to build my own structures, these are too good to pass up and fill in space on a large layout - and add to a growing skyline!!

This has got to be the best deal of the year; and while I have the former American Power & Light and multiple breweries on my layout, I couldn't pass this up...what's another $100 on my credit card, only makes it about $20k in total credit card debt

Awesome little tip @PRRick! Thanks for sharing! Made my second order with this offer yesterday. Ordered the Gamer and Thrones building with another National Power and Light deal!

LoL I hear you with that! Thanks to the trick @PRRick taught me, I just put in another $440 order on items with very low inventory that I was interested in. Probably should have concealed the boxes 🤣😂

Hey Everyone!

Just a reminder, the FREE National Power & Light building promotion ends tonight at Midnight CST. Now is the time to order!

Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

My Schneider Freight House with free Power Plant along with a Menard's Box Truck and a 3-way power supply is expected to arrive 12/31!

Just made my third order with this AMAZING deal! Ordered the brewery along with my third FREE national power and light building.

CURRENT REMAINING INVENTORY IS AT 247 left as of 4:22pm eastern.

Couldn’t resist eventhough there is nowhere on my layout the Power and Light building will fit in.

Guess maybe I’ll have to figure out a kitbash or mod to make the building fit the right era.

good deal either way!

I'll assume that the $20k CC debt is all due to purchase of trains.

At least, I hope so. 

Got mine, both nicely packaged and nothing broken. I'll need to glue on a piece of trim around the light and power garage door but easy peasy. I'm impressed with how well it was packed. Thanks Menards!!

Schneider Freight House and Power & Light will be fun additions to my layout!  Keokuk hydroelectric power plant on the Mississippi is much larger but this can represent a portion that will fit!

Just unpacked my Gamer and Thrones building and 5 section of the roof/trin were broken off. It appears this building is Hot Glued together and that would explain why som many section of the roof were broken/unglued from the building laying in the packing. Anybody Elsa ever experience these kind of issues with Menards Structures? Other wise not a bad looking structure considering the price for two buildings!

@RJT all four buildings I received in the past couple days have issues. My Gamer and Thrones has the roof with the toilet unglued and laying on the ground in the packaging. The one National Light and Power has a smokestack unglued and flopping around in the packaging, the other National Power and Light has the transformer on the roof unglued. The last building was the tide building that is missing the very top red flashing light. All boxes were in great shape with zero damage to the packaging. I’ll get photos this week. I’ve also got 2 more buildings currently being shipped so I’ll follow up with them too.

I usually have to glue something back on these buildings. My power plant smokestack was broke off too, took a few seconds to reglue.

That's honestly the main reason I didn't get another deal and sell the extra power building. I'd rather not deal with potential damage and dealing with a buyer who wants a partial refund.

I hope mine are good, I am not to handy to repair new stuff. Deal might not be a deal if I have to fix to much

The stuff I'm referring to could be glued back by a 6 year old. No handiness required, really.

Picked up mine yesterday, Schneider Freight House and National Light and Power. No issues on the freight house, one door came loose on the power house. Took me longer to find a toothpick and glue than it did to glue the door in place! Quite happy.

Mine arrived today, just had time to unbox before work. Will inspect them tomorrow but all looks ok so far.

Well Darrell, how’d you make out?

Perfect!

One small nick on mine happy

Mine came in today.  Everything is in good shape and works.  Thanks Menards.
