LEGO Store Exclusive Holiday VIP Shopping Event

November 4, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Store Exclusive Holiday Shopping Event

Today in the mail, I received a curious envelope featuring the solid red minifigure. Inside was in invitation to an exclusive Holiday shopping event for VIP members at the local LEGO Store. The shopping event is invitation-only and it allows me and one guest early access to the store to take advantage of special holiday offers as well as free gifts. I’m not sure what specials or gifts the store will be having but I’m curious to see. As to my knowledge of past LEGO “events,” not all VIP Members will be getting an invitation to the event (VIP Keychain). Only members who have spend a certain amount during a certain period will be able to join in on the festivities. Like with many special shopping events, there are restrictions. There’s a spending limit of $5000 and no more than five of each set to per person.

Upcoming Toys R Us LEGO Bricktober Events

October 6, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Toys R Us stores is having some Bricktober 2013 events at local stores later this month. On Saturday, October 19 from 12-2pm, visit your local TRU store and you can build your own DC Super Heroes Joker Mini Mech Bot and take it home. If you look closely, you can see there is a purple plate that’s sticking out so I’m assuming a Joker minifigure is supposed to stand there. We’re not sure if you’ll be getting one or if you have to use your own. To be honest, the Mini Mech Bot looks horrible but at least you can get free bricks.

Secondly, if you purchase any LEGO Batman Super Heroes sets of $20 or more, you can get a FREE Robin’s Redbird Cycle (30166) polybag. This is the first time that US residents will be able to get it since it was only offered in Canadian Toys R Us stores.

For the Marvel side of the promotion, you can get a FREE Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone (30167) polybag with purchases of $20 or more in LEG Marvel Super Heroes sets. This polybag was first available through LEGO stores and on Shop@Home.

LEGO Shop Minifigure Polybag (5001622) Details

September 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A couple of weeks ago, we reported there was a new polybag of a LEGO Shop Minifigure Polybag (5001622) with a 2×4 red brick. We weren’t sure of how to obtain the polybag until now. BrickPicker user Brickinfinite has posted how they have managed to get one. They’ve recently received an order from Shop@Home and it was included with the package. There was also a note card saying:

Free Exclusive LEGO Shop Minifigure!

As a thank you for shopping at the Official LEGO Shop and to celebrate the launch of our mobile site, a FREE LEGO Shop Minifigure has been included with your order.

This minifigure is exclusive to the LEGO Shop and can’t be found anywhere else!

Happy Building!

So there you go. It was just a small thank you present for shopping online and for LEGO to promote their new mobile site that recently launched. Brickinfinite also mentions that he just made a purchase through the website although he doesn’t say how much he spent to get it. We’ll give an update as soon as we hear something.
