LEGO Easter raffle for springtime fun!

LEGO is running a fun little campaign for Easter, including a raffle, where participants will have a chance to win a goodie-bag with LEGO related Easter awesomeness and a medium-sized LEGO set. Details on how to enter are enclosed below. 🙂

To participate in this raffle, take an Easter-themed LEGO picture. Your image could be a unique LEGO creations, a minifig doing something Easter-y, etc. Nothing complicated – just a fun Easter-themed picture with LEGO (you can check out the current entries to get an idea). You can also use the LEGO Easter sets and minifigures as props for your image.

Next, add the image to the LEGO Easter Campaign Flickr Group,which will be your raffle ticket for the lucky draw. You can also share your image in other places online like Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, etc., using the hashtag #LEGOEaster, to help with the campaign, but you can only enter the raffle via the above mentioned Flickr Group.

When you submit your image to the LEGO Easter Campaign Flickr Group, add your first name and LEGO User Group affiliation (if you are entering through us, your LUG affiliation will be theBrickBlogger), along with the #LEGOEaster hashtag. If you belong to a local LUG, or other official online group recognized by LEGO, you can enter through them as well (i.e. Brickset, Eurobricks, Brothers-Brick, etc.). So you would write something like: James (or whatever is your name) – theBrickBlogger – #LEGOEaster as the title of your picture.

Please note that you can only enter your image once. Taking pictures from different angles will not give you additional tickets for the lucky draw, although you could enter other pictures, if you like.

Once Easter is over, LEGO will select ten raffle winners from the images in the LEGO Easter Campaign Flickr Group (Easter falls on April 16th this year, so you have about a month to enter). The winners will be contacted via Flickr mail asking for their full name. Their LUG-affiliation will be confirmed by the Ambassador of the LUG (in the case of theBrickBlogger, that’s me), and if everything checks out, the prizes will be shipped to the winners.

And that’s it! Since most of us are using creative usernames here, and I don’t know the real names of all of you, just add a link in the comment section below to your entry in the Flickr Group. This way, I can easily verify your identity in case LEGO picks you as one of the winners! Good luck! 😉

LEGO minifig packs, mugs, plushies & more!

Besides the large wave of new LEGO sets that were just released (see: March 2017 – New LEGO Sets & Promotions), there are some interesting and unusual smaller items that you might have not noticed. Most LEGO fans will get their favorite new sets during the current Double VIP Points period (valid March 6-16th). So I thought you might want to check out these unique items as well while you are browsing the Online LEGO Shop. 🙂

LEGO NINJAGO ACCESSORY SET: The #853687 LEGO Ninjago Accessory Set includes three minifigures with exclusive prints and accessories. This set is full of unique pieces! Take a look at the torso-prints, the gray legs with black boots, the light-gray ninja hood, the black ice-cream cones, translucent-black minifig heads, the very rare sushi printed round tile, and extra hair pieces. The price is $12.99, and the set is available under the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO BATMAN MOVIE ACCESSORY SET: The #853651 LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Set is another super nice minifig-pack with three unique minifigures, torso prints, and accessories. Notice the very useful dual-moulded dark-blue legs with black boots on one of the officers! Chief O-Hara’s hair-piece is an exclusive color that only appears in here. The price is $12.99, and the set is available under The LEGO Batman Movie section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO EASTER EGG HUNT: The #40237 LEGO Easter Egg Hunt is a small and inexpensive set, but it is full of rare and interesting elements. The set features three of those fancy new fence panels in black, a henhouse with a chicken, a small flower garden with two lamps and a mailbox, a vegetable garden with a secret compartment, plus various buildable accessories and elements, including a wheelbarrow, magnifying glass, three eggs and a basket. The price is only $9.99, and the sets is available under the seasonal items section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO HUMAN-SCALED MUG IN BLACK: The standard LEGO cups that appear in so many LEGO sets are iconic part of LEGO’s history that has been around since 1979. In recent years LEGO released human-scaled versions of the cup that can be used as a mug in your home or office, so you can feel like a minifig! So far red, blue and translucent-purple mugs were available, and now LEGO also added a black one to commemorate The LEGO Batman Movie. The mugs are only $9.99, and you can find them at various sections (just search for mug) of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO BATMAN MOVIE NOTEBOOK: LEGO has been releasing notebooks for a good number of LEGO themes. Their unique feature is the baseplate embedded in the front cover that you can use for building. Small plates, tiles and other accessories are included with the notebooks, so you can decorate the cover. The LEGO Batman Movie Notebook is the latest in the collection. The price is $12.99, and you can find it under The LEGO Batman Movie section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO BATMAN MOVIE MAKER SET: The #853650 LEGO Batman Movie Maker set is similar to the old LEGO Studios sets, giving you a setting, backdrop and characters for your own LEGO brickfilms. This set features a double-sided cardboard backdrop with alternative scenes on each side, buildable LEGO scenery, camera rig to hold a smartphone, and a Batman minifigure with assorted props. The film set and backdrop measure over 7” (20cm) high, 14” (37cm) wide and 3” (10cm) deep, and the camera rig measures over 5” (15cm) high, 4” (12cm) wide and 5” (15cm) deep. The price is $19.99, and you can find it under The LEGO Batman Movie section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO MINIFIGURE PLUSHIES: Awww… so cute! This 12” (32cm) tall cuddly toy is an up-scaled version of the Batman minifigure and features brushed tricot fabric with silkscreen-printed decoration, including the iconic Bat-shaped symbol, cape and embroidered face details. There are other characters in this line, including Batgirl, and Nya and Kai from LEGO Ninjago, but in the USA only Batman is available at this point. Hopefully the other ones will be added soon. The price is $24.99. You can find Batman under The LEGO Batman Movie section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO NINJAGO TEMPLE OF AIRJITZU: The #70751 LEGO Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu is not a new set, but I wanted to point out that it is currently on sale. This is one of the most beautiful sets LEGO ever released. Even if you are not into Ninjago, but you do like Asian architecture, you will be very pleased with this set. It really is gorgeous (you can read my review here: LEGO Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu Review). The normal price is $199.99, and with 2028 pieces and a stunning design it is totally worth it at full price. The set is currently $40 off at $159.99. That’s an excellent deal, and you will also get Double VIP Points. You can find it under the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Hope this list helps you find something unique that you can add to the regular LEGO sets during the Double VIP Points period. They make great gift items, or (like in the case of the minifig accessory sets) excellent additions to your current LEGO collection.

What do you think? Are you planning to shop during the Double VIP Points period? How do you like these extra items that LEGO just released? Are you going to get any of them? Feel free to share your own thoughts and review in the comment section below! 😉
