The LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083) minisite has now been updated with a countdown timer for the release of the set. As we know by now, the release date has been pushed up to June 1 with the set most likely having VIP early access starting on May 16. There’s no other new details that are available at this time but hopefully there are some teasers ahead of the official reveal of the set which should be coming any day soon.

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card Y-Wing (75181) Blueprint First Look

April 30, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I talked about some of the upcoming “exclusive” promotions that will be happening for the LEGO Black VIP card holders which includes a special blueprint poster of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing (75181). It looks like we have our first look at this poster coming out of HelloBricks and it is said that Black Card holders can get it without a minimum purchase while non-card holders can get it with a minimum purchase. If you were looking for exclusiveness, unfortunately, you won’t find it here. Some of the other promotions that will be happening this weekend include:

– Free BB-8 (40288) with purchase of $75 or more.
– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.
– Select sale items.
– Porg in-store Make and Take build

Update: I’ve gotten concrete information from a legitimate source the that the poster is only available for Black Card holders with a purchase of $35 or more. Non-card holders will not be able to get it.

LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) Promotional Set Revealed

April 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The May/June 208 German flyer is now available and inside there’s a new promotional set that looks to be very interesting. From June 4-24 with purchases of 65€, you can get a free LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set which is a set based on Hans Christian Andersen and his stories. As you can see from the image above, it is a pop-up book build that shows Andersen writing a story outdoors on a cobblestone area. The other side of the book shows a water area with a white swan. This is presumably based on the popular fairy tale story, The Ugly Duckling.

There’s no word at this time whether or not this promotional set will be available here in the states. Maybe this set could be a hint to something we can also expect from LEGO Ideas. If you remember, the Pop-Up Book by JK Brickworks is currently under review on LEGO Ideas and this set could come out in conjunction with it as a gift-with-purchase set. This all depends on the Pop-Up Book coming out as the winner of the Third 2017 Review Stage but that announcement is still a long ways away. This is purely speculation by me but what are your guys’ thoughts about this little LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set?

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card May the 4th Promotion?

April 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

When the LEGO Star Wars Black VIP card was announced, it was stated that there would be special promotions for card holders who purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) on the intial run. Fans have been wondering if they would ever get any promos or deals and it looks like there’s something coming next week during the May the 4th event.

There are now unconfirmed rumors that there will be a special sweepstakes for one of the platinum R2-D2 minifigures for Black VIP card holders. This comes from a reader who was told by LEGO store employees from their local store. I’m not sure of the legitimacy of this piece of news but if you’ve heard something similar, let us know in the comments below. Supposedly, there’s also a special blueprint poster of the UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) given out to card holders as well which I’ve heard from a few places.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) May the 4th Promotion Clarification

April 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Next week is the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event and there’s some clarification of the availability of the BB-8 (40288) polybag on the Shop@Home header. If you’ve received the spring catalog, the flyer for the promotion shows that the BB-8 polybag was only available on May 4. According to Shop@Home, the promo will now run through the whole weekend, while supplies last, which is good because not everyone may have time to do their shopping on that specific day and will be happy to know that they have some time to make their purchases. Some of the other promotions during the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event include:

– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.
– Select sale items.
– Porg in-store Make and Take build
