LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Thanks to the help from one of our readers LC, we now have the building instructions for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain Marvel and the Asis (77902). The set has has 271 pieces and it features the experimental ship along with some exclusive minifigures such as the Captain Marvel in the Vers uniform, Maria Rambeau, and the Flerken Goose. You can download the PDF file for the instructions here. Again, thank you to LC for sharing the instructions with us to share with you guys.
The new LEGO VIP Program has been running for a few weeks and it has been met with mixed reactions in the fan community. One of the downsides it had when you redeemed a reward was that you had only 30 days to use it or else your points and rewards were lost forever. LEGO has made a change to this and has extended it from 30 days to 60 days to give you flexibility on when you can use it. As of this writing, the terms still haven’t been changed so I would suggest waiting after it has been changed before you redeem anything.
We’ve listened to our fans and are extending the reward redemption terms from 30 days to 60 days. This includes discount rewards in our LEGO Stores, for phone orders, and on shop.LEGO.com. Please be patient as we work to change the terms on the VIP Rewards Center. There may be some exclusions to this policy, such as rewards that are redeemable with our partners or where legally we cannot change the terms (i.e. sweepstakes).
During San Diego Comic Con 2019, LEGO released the LEGO DC The Dark Knight of Gotham City (77903) for attendees who were able to get in the exclusive lottery. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to win any of the lotteries but luckily for us, my friend Jason was able to get the set and has provided us with the instructions to share with you guys. LEGO usually doesn’t provide the instructions for SDCC exclusives so we have to rely on the community to provide them.
The build consists of 427 pieces and has 74 steps. The build does have one exclusive piece that I know of with the printed tile of the Batman 80 Years logo. You can either use the images below to help with the build or you can download the PDF here.
LEGO news has been a bit slow the past week but I’ve gotten information on an upcoming mini build event at LEGO Brand Stores that you may be interested in. I’ve gotten a word that there will be an 18+ LEGO Harley-Davidson Fat Boy mini build taking place on August 8 and sign-ups will be starting on August 1. I assume there will be limited space available. I’ll confirm it once the August 2019 calendar is available next week with the details.
Walmart is currently doing clearance sales in stores in which you can find some really good deals on older sets and Amazon has been price-matching them. They currently have a great sale on the LEGO Fantastic Beasts Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952) which is going for $29.99. This is 40% off the regular price of $49.99 and I would highly recommend this set. It contains four minifigures as well as three buildable creatures and the transforming suitcase.
The LEGO Ideas Tree House (21318) is now available for purchase for VIP members but if you’re on the fence about it, LEGO has also released the designer video of the set. LEGO Designer César Soares talks about some of the details of this brand new set which includes two different sets of leaves for the summer and fall seasons. The Tree House contains 3,036 pieces and retails for $199.99.
It’s been a while since I promoted some LEGO deals but I came across one for The LEGO Movie 2 with Rex’s Rexplorer! (70835). It has been discounted to $75.99 which is a whopping 37% off the retail price of $119.99. This makes the price per piece ratio go down to $0.06/piece which is really good for a set that has 1,172 pieces. It does state that it ships within 1 to 2 months but it’ll most likely ship before then.
