April 2, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

April Fool’s Day came and went and as usual, there were many pranks that were done in the LEGO community including some from our fellow fan site colleagues. If you didn’t see it, we reported on the LEGO VIP Personalized Shopper Program which was a convoluted way to shop automatically using the wishlist feature. Below is a compilation of some of the things came online yesterday as part of our tradition. If you saw something that I didn’t post, let us know in the comments.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Thor's Stormbreaker

April 1, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Even though physical copies of the April 2019 LEGO Store Calendar was available last month, I didn’t do a post about it simply because of the recent changes that LEGO made to it, more specifically the promotions. The promo were pretty much the main thing people look forward to on the calendars so they could plan their purchase. LEGO knows about the fans’ dislike of the change but as of this time, there’s no word on whether they would go back or not.

Anyways, here’s the April 2019 LEGO Store Calendar and some of the events that will be going on. If you didn’t know, the promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Chicken Skater Pod (853958), will be running from April 5-22 with purchases of $35 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. If anyone wants to scan the next month’s store calendar for me to report on, feel free to email me at [email protected].

April 15: Minifigure Swap Monday
April 18: In-store Building Event for Thor’s Stormbreaker. Registration is required and is on a first-come, first served basis. Signups begin April 5 in stores only.

LEGO Announces VIP Personalized Shopper Program

April 1, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

With the announcement of some new changes coming to the LEGO VIP program starting in a few months, LEGO has also expanded on the VIP experience a bit more with the LEGO VIP Personalized Shopper Program. Essentially, this program allows shoppers to add items to their wishlist and LEGO will automatically purchase the set and ship it to you at a specified time of your choosing. This program is similar to some what some other companies do sort of like a subscription system.

At the start of the program, which should be starting this summer, there will be three plans to choose from, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each plan will be in a certain price range in which the sets chosen from your wishlist will be added to your cart and shipped out. You can check out the price ranges below.

In order for the LEGO VIP Personalized Shopper Program to work on your particular account, you’ll have to set up an automatic payment system. It will be set up to have a default credit card, PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay and payment will be deducted from that method. Also, a default shipping address is required.

Check out the press release that LEGO sent over.

We’ve recently introduced some upcoming changes to the LEGO VIP program to enhance your shopping experience and we are happy to announce another benefit for VIP members.
