LEGO VIP Gold Coin Releasing May 20

May 17, 2021 /

If you receive the LEGO VIP newsletters, you may have gotten one today stating the last VIP collectible coin will be available starting on May 20 on the Rewards Center. This is the fifth one in the series and it is the centerpiece for the display case if you were able to get it.

In addition, it also states that if you missed out on the previous coins, they’ll be back later this year.

It’s nice to see that LEGO has taken feedback to make more for those who weren’t able to get one.
