LEGO Double VIP Points – only this weekend!

by Thita (admin) on August 6, 2016

Attention LEGO fans! Forget about shopping for school-supplies! LEGO is running an super-secret unannounced Double VIP Points special this weekend. As we have discussed previously (see: August 2016 – New LEGO Sets & Promotions), there is a huge number of new LEGO sets available this month, and the free exclusive #40220 LEGO Creator Mini London Bus special with purchased of $75 or more is still available! 🙂

The Double VIP Points offer is valid from August 6th to the 8th at midnight EST. You can get Double VIP Points at official LEGO stores, as well as the Online LEGO Shop. You will see the Double VIP Points in your shopping-cart when you are ready to check out.

If you would like to see a list of what’s new, check the above mentioned link where we discuss all the new LEGO sets. In summary, a very large number of LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Nexo Knights, LEGO Super Heroes, LEGO City, LEGO Technic, LEGO Friends, LEGO Disney Princess, and LEGO Elves sets were released this month. You can find them under their respective categories, or see all at the What’s New section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO Store Calendar August 2016 New Sets

And if you do need to shop for school-supplies, LEGO recently released a whole selection of stationary items that we have reviewed previously (see: LEGO Stationary: Ruler, Pens, Markers & More!). It includes pens, pencils, markers, rulers, organizers, notebooks, and more – all with a LEGO theme. Great for kids and kids-at-heart. You can find them under the LEGO Classic section of the Online LEGO Shop.

In summary, if you haven’t gotten any of the new LEGO sets yet, this weekend is a perfect opportunity to get them, while also accumulating points twice as fast! As a VIP member, you would normally earn one point for every dollar you spend, but during the Double VIP Points period your earnings are twice as much. Double VIP Points are only offered a few times a year, so I would suggest that you take a look at the selection of new sets and see if there is anything you like. Oh, and report back to let us know what you got! 😉

LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs coming!

by Thita (admin) on August 5, 2016

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

A few days ago it was announced at the official LEGO Minecraft Facebook page that LEGO will be releasing two LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs in September. Below are the details. 🙂

The #853609 LEGO Minecraft Skin Pack and the #853610 LEGO Minecraft Skin Pack include four unique minifigures each. It’s likely that they will be packaged similarly as the army-building sets in different themes, usually with four minifigures and a few accessories. Army-building sets costs $15, so we could expect a similar price for the LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs as well. In the following video-preview you can see all eight minifigures.

They are great, aren’t they? I particularly like the camouflaged character and the one that looks like an astronaut. They will be perfect additions to existing LEGO Minecraft sets that are mostly populated by various versions of Steve and Alex.

The LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs are scheduled for release on September 1st, and should be listed at that time under the LEGO Minecraft section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs? Are you looking forward to them? Which sets would you add them to? What other characters would you like to see in possible future skin packs? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉
