LEGO Double VIP Points on Everything!

by Thita (admin) on March 23, 2019

Great news for LEGO fans! Starting today, March 23rd, LEGO is offering Double VIP Points on all purchases! We haven’t had an unrestricted Double VIP Points period for quite a while, so this is an awesome and rare opportunity! The Double VIP Points promotion will run until March 31st, so you have a little over a week to plan out your purchases. 🙂

Just to be clear for those who are new to the LEGO VIP Program, once you register, you earn points on all of your purchases at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. Normally, you earn one point for $1 you spend, but sometimes LEGO runs special Double VIP Point promotions on specific items, or on everything (like they are doing now). Once you reach 100 points, you will get a $5 reward, which you can use towards future purchases. If you haven’t done so already, you can sign up for the LEGO VIP Program at official LEGO stores, online, or through the phone by calling customer service. Membership is free. You can learn more about the program here: LEGO VIP LOYALTY PROGRAM

As this Double VIP Points period has no restriction to any specific theme, set, or product, you can purchase anything currently available at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop and earn double points. However, if you have any large sets and exclusives in mind, this is the best time to get them. These sets rarely (if ever) go on sale, so the Double VIP Points period is pretty much the only time you can get them cheaper by getting 10% off in the form of points.

Some of the recently released larger sets and exclusives you might consider are the #10265 LEGO Creator Ford Mustang, the #21316 LEGO Ideas The Flintstones set, the #10264 LEGO Creator Corner Garage, and #70840 LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! You can find them, as well as all other new sets at the NEW section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? Are you planning to get anything during the Double VIP Points period? Which is your favorite LEGO set this year? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Tower Mobile Game Coming Soon!

in LEGO Games & Apps

LEGO published an interesting press-release today, about a new idle simulation mobile game called LEGO Tower. Below, you can find details about the game, some images, info on availability, and an upcoming contest. Take a look, and let’s discuss. 🙂

LEGO has joined forces with NimbleBit, creators of the classic mobile game Tiny Tower to craft a brand new mobile experience. NimbleBit has a long track record of building lovable mobile worlds for their players, and both companies are excited to be taking the Tiny Tower formula to new heights inside the world of LEGO.

“Having the opportunity to build upon one of our signature games inside the world LEGO is a dream come true for us.” says David Marsh, co-founder of NimbleBit. “The building blocks of LEGO are a complete creative match for our style of games. It’s sparked a lot of the feelings of creativity and joy we’ve experienced ourselves while playing with LEGO since we were young.”

LEGO Tower gives players the ability to build and operate their own LEGO tower. Construct a wide range of apartments and businesses for your minifigure residents to live, work, and play in. Visit your friends’ towers and trade items to help them build. Collect hundreds of unique minifigure pieces and discover hidden characters. Build your dream LEGO tower to new heights, the sky’s the limit!

Speaking of building, visit LEGO Ideas on March 26th to participate in the LEGO Tower Building Challenge. Among the prizes, winners will get their creation featured in the game! The LEGO Tower mobile game will be available directly from the App Store and Google Play starting this summer.

I have never heard of NimbleBit or their Tiny Tower game before, so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia, Tiny Tower is a popular business simulation game developed by NimbleBit and released in 2011. The game tasks players with managing a tower filled with virtual people, referred to as “bitizens”, with the goal of building new floors and gradually making the tower taller, which attracts bitizens to move in and work in any floor the player designates. It appears that the LEGO Tower game will work in the same or very similar way.

What do you think? How do you like the idea of the LEGO Tower game? Did you ever play the Tiny Tower game? How do you like it? Do you think it is a good match for LEGO? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
