LEGO’s latest newsletter is giving away a free LEGO Ninjago Micro set to LEGO Insiders. Attached to the newsletter is a code to use at checkout to get a free set at random. I guess there was not too much demand on the Micro Ninjago City sets combined with the high original points requirement of 2,500. The price was then dropped down to 1,800 and they also offered a bundle for all four sets which is even cheaper at 5,000 points total.
Today is the last day to get your orders in for the LEGO Icons Smeagol & Deagol (40761) GWP when you purchase the LEGO Icons The Shire (10354). The gift with purchase set was first released back in April and LEGO brought it back again for a limited time run. The set recreates the opening scene from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King where Smeagol and Deagol finds the The One Ring.

The deal includes 29 Centers in 9 countries and Merlin will continue to operate the 11 LEGOLAND Resorts around the world.
