LEGO Ideas Tree House (21318) Review

August 12, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Ideas theme keeps growing bigger and bigger and we now have the largest set that has come out of the crowdsourcing theme with the LEGO Ideas Tree House (21318). It contains a whopping 3,036 pieces and retails for $199.99 and it is now available for purchase. Let’s take a look at it to see if it is worthy of the price tag. The contents of the box include a total of 31 bags, 21 of which are numbered to 19 and the rest for the leaves. There’s also a large instruction booklet containing 428 pages.

LEGO Picnic Blanket (5006016) Promotion Now Available

August 12, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has been doing some premium gift with purchases and their latest one is for a Picnic Blanket (5006016). It is available with purchases of $199 or more on Shop@Home only from now until August 25. I’m not sure how the material feels like but it seems like it’s made of higher quality fabric and it is LEGO branded. The promotion for the Canvas Tote Bag is still going on as well so if you spend $200, you can get both promo items at the same time. I would’ve held off on my purchase from before if I knew this was coming out as well. Lesson learned.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025) Reported Box Distribution

August 12, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, the Series 19 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71025) were revealed and they would be released in September. I would have assumed that RLFM sites would have reviews up but instead a YouTuber named The Brick Shack has managed to order a few boxes early to do their own review of it and they have provided the box distribution of the set. Keep in mind that these are not the official names of the characters because technically LEGO hasn’t announced them yet.

There will be three complete sets per box and it was reported that the first two rows of an unopened box will have full sets of 16. Obviously there are 20 per row so finding two full sets in the first two rows shouldn’t be that hard.

Three Per Box

Monkey King
Shower Guy
Dog Walker
Fox Girl
Mountain Biker
Firefighter
Flamingo Lady

Four Per Box

Programming Girl
Black Knight
Jungle Explorer
Pizza Costume Guy
Rainbow Bear
Rugby Player

Five Per Box

Video Gamer Guy
Mummy
Space Bounty Hunter

LEGO Ideas Pop-up Book (21315) Amazon Sale – August 2019

August 10, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you somehow still don’t have the LEGO Ideas Pop-up Book (21315), Amazon has it on sale for a price that probably won’t be beaten in the near future. It is priced at $49.99 which is 29% off and is the second to lowest price it’s been at since the beginning of July for a few days. It’s rumored that this set will be retiring pretty soon especially since Central Perk (21319) will be coming out next month.

Updated LEGO VIP Program – One Month Later

August 10, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It has been exactly one month since the new LEGO VIP Program went live and it hasn’t went as smoothly as fans wanted it to be. As its current iteration, it has been met with more negative responses and positive ones.

First is the conversion system from dollars to points. For the US, it is 6.5 points per dollar but a lot of people still are still confused to why they are not getting an 1:1 ratio. Technically we still are but it’s just more convoluted since we have to convert it to the Danish Krone.

Another problem was that a lot of people still haven’t been able to switch over to the new program. I’ve saw a customer in store that was ready to make a purchase but was met with this problem as their account wasn’t found and I’m not sure if they ever completed the transaction. This is actually a pretty big problem because people want to earn points with their purchase but they can’t since their account doesn’t work. People would rather shop somewhere else like Amazon where discounts are almost always present.

Next up are the rewards. LEGO updated the program to give people more control on how they spent their points. The main thing is using the points to get a discount on a purchase but you had to redeem it before you go to the store but before you could just just the discount there. This adds another step which wasn’t really needed in the first place.
