LEGO Double VIP Points On All Purchases!

by Thita (admin) on March 27, 2020

Just a little bit of update to brighten your weekend. LEGO is currently offering Double VIP Points on all purchases. This offer is valid until the end of the week (March 29th). If you have been thinking about getting something new, this is a good time to make a purchase. As LEGO store locations are temporarily closed in response to the COVID-19 situation, current offers will be honored online at LEGO.com and on LEGO catalog telephone orders only, until further notice. Also, remember that LEGO offers free shipping on all purchases over $35.

Some of the larger new sets you might consider include the #71044 LEGO Disney Train and Station, the #76139 LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile, the #10270 LEGO Creator Bookshop, the #75252 LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer, the #10272 LEGO Creator Old Trafford – Manchester United, the #10269 LEGO Creator Fiat 500, the #21321 LEGO Ideas International Space Station, and more. You can find the full selection of new sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

Also, remember that the new LEGO Star Wars Buildable Helmets are now available for pre-order. You can find them at the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Just because it’s Double VIP Points time, it doesn’t mean you have to focus on big sets. There are many great sets with moderate prices under LEGO City, LEGO Creator, LEGO Super Heroes, LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Disney, LEGO Friends, LEGO Technic, and more. If you have children who currently have to stay home, focus on sets that can provide that with many hours of playtime and/or could also be converted into learning opportunities. LEGO Classic, LEGO Creator, and LEGO Technic are particularly good for this, and the new LEGO DOTS line is excellent for arts and crafts. You can check out the full selection at the Online LEGO Shop.

If you want to stretch your dollars further, take a look at the sales section of the Online LEGO Shop, where you can find slightly older and retiring sets for 20%-50% off.

What do you think? Are you planning to take advantage of the Double VIP Points period? What are you going to get? Or do you already have plenty to build with? What are you working on? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!

LEGO Extra DOTS with Cute Smileys & More!

by Thita (admin) on March 26, 2020

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

When we discussed the new LEGO DOTS bracelets (see: LEGO DOTS Customizable Bracelets Review), I mentioned that I also ordered the #41908 LEGO Extra DOTS – Series 1 at the same time, but since it was on backorder, it took an extra couple of days for it to arrive. Now that I have it, I thought to talk about it in more detail.

Like the name implies, #41908 LEGO Extra DOTS – Series 1 includes extra 1×1 tiles to decorate your LEGO DOTS bracelets and LEGO DOTS desk accessories. Each packet includes 109 quarter-round and round tiles in total, including some printed and glitter pieces. The quarter-round tiles come in pink (19 each), dark-turquoise, magenta, and yellow-green (all of them 20 each). The round tiles come in glitter-translucent-blue (20 each), and white with print (10 each).

The most exciting pieces are the 10 printed tiles, as they come with 16 possible unique designs. Please note that which printed tiles you receive in each packet is random. So, amongst the 10 possible pieces per packet, you may get all different ones, or doubles, or even more of the same design. I got a couple of doubles in my packet. Also note that you will actually get one extra printed tile (so, 11 in total), as LEGO always includes one extra of each 1×1 element. And of course, you also get one extra for each color and shape of the non-printed elements.

Designs include a lighting bolt, a bone, a music note, a strawberry, a watermelon, a diamond, a rainbow heart, a rainbow poop, a skull, what they look like lavender tiger spots, and 6 different emojis with various facial expressions. All the different prints can be used as additional decorations for the LEGO DOTS bracelets and desk accessories. And of course, you can use them in other ways as well for various arts, crafts, and other building projects. The emojis are particularly useful for giving expressive facial expressions to brick-built characters, like this cute little robot shared by Reddit user ToaTom.

You may notice that this set is named #41908 LEGO Extra DOTS – Series 1, so we can expect more series in the future. The packets are only $3.99 each, so it’s worth to get extra ones for larger decorative projects like mosaics (limit per household is 50). If you are interested to get some they are available at the LEGO DOTS section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like LEGO DOTS? Do you have any of the sets or extra packets yet? Did you make your own patterns? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!
