LEGO Super Mario Theme Retiring in 2024?

May 12, 2023 / / 0 Comments

There are new reports that the LEGO Super Mario theme could be retiring by summer 2024. The Adventures with Mario (71360), Adventures with Luigi (71387), and Adventures with Peach (71403) Starter Courses were supposed to be produced until July 2026 but it looks like that date has been pushed up to July 2024. This piece of news is interesting as the new LEGO Donkey Kong were just announced and won’t be available until August. This means the sets will only be available for about a year or so while the existing sets will be done by July 2024.

There’s no reasoning on why the End-of-Life date was pushed up but it’s easy to assume that the LEGO Super Mario sets don’t do as as LEGO had expected them to do. It seems the sets are always on constant sales on Amazon to get rid of inventory.

Fans of Super Mario were hoping to have minifigure scale sets but that didn’t happen, most likely because Nintendo makes the call on what they want produced. In addition, LEGO really dropped the ball on any sets based on The Super Mario Bros. Movie which became the highest grossing film based on a video game.

LEGO VIP Pilot Program at LEGOLAND Discovery Center New Jersey

May 6, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Before if you went to a LEGOLAND Discovery Center to shop for LEGO, you wouldn’t earn any VIP points which confused a lot of fans since it’s LEGO. This was because Discovery Centers was owned by Merlin Entertainments before 2019 and not The LEGO Group themselves but times are changing as LEGO has announced a pilot program to have the VIP program at a particular Discovery Center.

The American Dream LEGOLAND Discovery Center in New Jersey will be the lucky store to test out this new system. There’s no word on how long it will go for or if any other stores will get the same treatment later on. If we look at previous pilot programs LEGO has done in the past, they eventually will roll it out but it usually takes months for them to do it.

We are excited to announce that the LEGO® VIP Program is now live in the American Dream LEGOLAND® Discovery Center shop, New Jersey, as part of a new pilot initiative.

The pilot will allow LEGO® fans to access the VIP program, and give the opportunity to sign-up, and earn & redeem LEGO® VIP points.

Initially the pilot will only be available in the LEGOLAND® Discovery Center shop in New Jersey, located in American Dream, and not in other LEGOLAND Discovery Center or LEGOLAND Park shops.

We are really excited to offer the LEGO® VIP program to all shoppers visiting the American Dream mall and hope to welcome many of you there!
