LEGO Life Magazine January-March Issue

If you are subscribed to the LEGO Life Magazine, you should have received the January-March 2020 issue already. Although the magazine is primarily for kids, I like to flip through it myself for all the interesting little tidbits, fun stories, contests, games, and more. So, let’s take a closer look!

The front cover of the January issue of the LEGO Life Magazine prominently features the 2020 LEGO Hidden Side sets. I really like the new version of Parker, with purple hair and turquoise headset! She appears in four of the six new sets, which you can check out at the LEGO Hidden Side section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The inside of the front cover talks about a new game coming soon: “Classic minifigures and sets come to life in the new mobile game LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed! Assemble a team of famous minifigure heroes for action-packed battles against some of the worst villains in LEGO history. Play solo or team up for online multiplayer action. Train your heroes, unlock awesome abilities, and rediscover amazing minifigures.” The page also features some of the minifigs that will be in the game.

The magazine has some fun games too: finding hidden messages, word puzzles, multiplayer board games, quizzes, and more. And of course there are a number of comics, and many of the new sets are also prominently featured.

Page 9 advertises the upcoming LEGO Ninjago: Prime Empire series we talked about the other day: “Do you dare to enter Prime Empire? The mysterious appearance of the legendary video game Prime Empire has gamers excited in Ninjago City. Everybody’s lining up to play, eager for the chance to test their skills. But one by one, players are disappearing… It’s all fun and games until you reach Level 13.” The page also features the three newly released LEGO Ninjago Arcade Pods that you can find at the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Three are also some building ideas in the magazine. An alternate build for the #31102 LEGO Creator Fire Dragon, and a couple of small builds (penguin and toucan) in LEGO Classic style.

All in all, the January issue of the LEGO Life Magazine is quite fun. The next issue will be released in April. If you haven’t signed up for the LEGO Life Magazine yet, but you would like to, visit the LEGO Life Magazine website and follow the instructions. The magazine is also available in PDF format at the same website, but it usually takes some time until the latest issue is available (right now it’s still showing the previous issue).

LEGO VIP Current & Upcoming Promotions

There are some current and upcoming promotions at LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop I wanted to make sure you know about. They can be helpful with budgeting and planning future purchases. So take a look.

The #10272 LEGO Creator Old Trafford Manchester United set we talked about a few days ago is now available for LEGO VIP members (wider release will be on February 1st). If you are a LEGO VIP member and purchase the set between January 16 and 31st, you will get an exclusive #5006171 LEGO United Trinity Statue with minifig versions of George Best, Denis Law, and Sir Bobby Charlton, who helped Manchester United become the first English club to win the European Cup in 1968. It’s a pretty nice freebie that should be especially interesting to collectors. To purchase the set and get the freebie, visit the LEGO Creator Expert section of the Online LEGO Shop.

During the entire month of February, LEGO will be offering two sets with Double VIP Points; the #70432 LEGO Hidden Side Haunter Fairground, and the #41393 LEGO Friends Baking Competition. Both of these are excellent sets. The baking competition in particular is one of my most favorite sets from the January releases. It’s truly delightful! You can check out all the new LEGO Friends and LEGO Hidden Side sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

Also, remember that right now LEGO is offering Double VIP Points on two of the new sets. The #60246 LEGO City Police Station and the #75272 LEGO Star Wars Sith TIE Fighter from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker film. You can find both of them at the Online LEGO Shop.

A couple of other promotions that are currently active are the free #30624 LEGO Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi Minifigure with LEGO Star Wars purchases of $40 or more until January 31st, and the free #40355 LEGO Year of the Rat set with purchases of $80 or more until January 26th. Both offers are valid at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO is planning to kick off their first Exclusive Minifigure Sweepstake at the LEGO VIP Rewards Center in February with a 2012 LEGO San Diego Comic-Con Shazam! minifigure. LEGO VIP members will be able to enter the competition between February 10th and March 2nd by redeeming 50 VIP points (up to a maximum of 15 entries) with the winner being drawn at random.

Please note that some countries are not covered in this activity due to local regulations. Approved countries are Austria, Belgium, Canada (excluding Quebec), Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and U.S. For those countries where LEGO cannot legally run this type of promotion, they are currently seeking alternative promotional options, to ensure they can proceed with a near-global approach as regularly as possible.

The LEGO VIP Rewards Center team intends to operate similar sweepstakes every month. Upcoming minifigure sweepstakes will include a signed Star Wars minifigure and an exclusive version of a Marvel character. With regards to other items upcoming at the LEGO VIP Reward Center (dates to be confirmed) are designer-signed LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer sets and designer-signed Star Wars Visual Dictionary copies. So, keep an eye on the LEGO VIP Reward Center for updates.

What do you think? How do you like the current and upcoming offers and promotions? Are you excited about any of them? What other rewards would you like to see for LEGO VIP members this year? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!
