Since the reinvention of the LEGO VIP Program, LEGO fans can redeem their accumulated VIP Points not just as discounts on LEGO purchases, but they can also use their VIP Points to redeem various other rewards like LEGO artwork, exclusive LEGO sets, and commemorative items.

Currently, LEGO is offering a couple of interesting collectibles that I thought our readers might like; a LEGO Castle Logo Collectible Coin and a LEGO Collectible Coin Display Case. The collectible coin features the iconic LEGO Castle Fantasy Era logo on one side and the LEGO VIP logo on the other. There is no information on what the coin is made of, but the fact that it costs 1,150 points (about $10) seems to indicate that it is higher quality and most likely made of some kind of metal alloy.

The LEGO Collectible Coin Display costs 700 points (about $5), and it showcases four other coins with iconic LEGO logos: LEGO Classic Space, LEGO Octan, LEGO Pirates, and a generic golden coin with the LEGO logo. Please note that the additional coins do not come with the display case. We can assume that these will be redeemable coins in the future. You will only receive the empty display case with this promotion, which you can use to display your coin collection.

If you are interested to get the LEGO Castle Logo Collectible Coin and the LEGO Collectible Coin Display, you can purchase them with your redeemable points at the LEGO VIP website. They are two separate item, so you don’t have to get both at the same time if you don’t have all the needed points. I would focus on getting the coin first, as that will likely run out before the display case. Once you redeem your points, you will receive a promotional code for the item(s), which you can redeem with your next purchase at the Online LEGO Shop. Please note that the code(s) are valid for 60 days and must be entered during checkout in the field labeled ‘Enter Promo Code’.

Most savvy LEGO fans redeem their points for a discount on purchases, but occasionally a nice commemorative item like this comes along and it might be worth spending some points on it. Getting the full collection isn’t going to be cheap ($55 worth of points), but I know collectors are especially fond of special exclusives like this. Anyhow, if you like to check it out visit the LEGO VIP Program Reward Center. And if you need extra points, take a look at all the new sets that were released this year at the what’s new section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Adults Welcome – New Category at LEGO.com

When LEGO launched the 18+ line of sets last year, specifically targeting adult LEGO fans, as well as adults who are new to the LEGO hobby, there was no easy way to find them at the online LEGO shop. The Shop by Age function of the website only goes up to 12+, and there was no specific category for adult sets. Recently however LEGO added a new category titled Adults Welcome. This category is not under the Shop by Age header, but under the Interests section.

Just like pretty much all other categories at the Online LEGO Shop, the Adults Welcome section is split into two sub-sections; About and Products. The About section links to a number of interesting articles about practicing mindfulness through LEGO building, interviews with LEGO designers, and suggestions for tastefully displaying LEGO sets at home or the office. I assume that this section will get regular updates with new articles and links.

And under the Products sub-section you can find all the adult-oriented sets currently available. This section is sorted by featured products by default, but you can change this to sort by price and rating as well. At the moment, 84 sets are listed in the Adults Welcome section, including the 18+ sets as well as sets that adults are usually interested in from other themes/age ranges.

From the featured selection, 23 of the sets are very large, and costs over $200. This includes the largest LEGO Star Wars sets, the largest LEGO Technic sets, the largest LEGO Harry Potter sets, the largest LEGO Disney sets, the #10276 LEGO Colosseum, the #71374 LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System, the #21323 LEGO Ideas Gran Piano, and several more large sets. Another 28 sets are in the $100-$200 category, including the LEGO Modular Buildings, several LEGO Creator and LEGO Ideas sets, LEGO Technic sets, the LEGO Art Mosaics, and the larger LEGO Architecture sets. The rest of the sets are under $100 and include the smaller LEGO Architecture, LEGO Creator, LEGO Ideas, LEGO Star Wars sets, as well as sets from other categories that would appeal to adults.

As far as I can tell, all the sets that adults usually like are included from a wide variety of themes without making the category too long and overwhelming. This enables adult LEGO fans and adults who are new to the LEGO hobby to find something to match their interest. This will also be a good place to keep an eye on new sets for adult LEGO fans without having to browse through the entire shop. I know I will be using it frequently. If you want to take a look, visit the Adults Welcome section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the new Adults Welcome section? Are you planning to use it? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!
