LEGO Survey Gauges Interest on New Subscription Programs

LEGO Subscription

LEGO has kicked off a new survey in the Rewards Center to measure the interest of some new LEGO subscription programs. Under the “Get More Points” tab, the survey gives you 150 VIP points for completing and it asks you about two different subscription plans. Both plans will cost $4.99 per month and they will both include the following:

• Free delivery on your LEGO purchases
• Early access to products, experiences and content (video, audio, building instructions & games)
• Access to limited edition products
• Purchase from back catalogue (get sets from previous years, etc.)
• Return used bricks and receive discounts/points to use elsewhere with TLG
• Free gifts with every purchase

Other than that, both plans have slightly different features. The first plan allows you to track your collection digitially using a LEGO wallet while also having your other LEGO experiences in one place. The second plan focuses more on the learning aspect of LEGO where you have workshops and courses from LEGO experts.

Obviously, this is still in the early stages and does not mean that LEGO will actually be doing a subscription service. Personally, I chose the first plan as those features are geared towards me more. If you have younger kids, maybe the other plan with the learning features are more suited for you. Again, you can get 150 VIP points for completing the survey but you have until January 7 to do so.

LEGO Paper Bags BricksFanz5724343

Thanks to BrickFanz, we have a first look at the paper bags in the LEGO Ninjago The Temple of Celebrations (4002021). Similar to the size of the current plastic bags, they now include a base to stand the bags up and a tear strip to open up. In addition, the bags now also double up as a coloring sheet if you desire.

Note that not all 2022 sets will have these new paper bags when they are released as it is still a gradual rollout with 100% sustainability by 2025.

LEGO has seen some decent growth in terms of sales and revenue so far this year and it looks like it company is passing the rewards to employees.
