The March 2019 LEGO Store Calendar is available and we can now see some of the promotions and events for the month. The month is somewhat car themed as some of the things going on will revolve around that. The calendars do not show the gift-with-purchase promotions so we’ll have to wait until we get closer to the start of them to see what they are.
March 1-31: Double VIP Points on select sets at vip.lego.com.
March 4-31: Best in Show Building Event. Go to the LEGO Store and build a dream car to display it at the store.
March 5-6: VIP Monthly Mini Model Build is a Viking Ship. As I reported before, this will be the last Monthly Mini Model Build event but there are things in store the the rest of the year. I know some details about it but will wait until next month to talk about it.
March 18: Minifigure Swap Monday
March 21: In-store building event. Registration starts on February 15. I heard it is to build some sort of vehicle.

If you’re still looking for the LEGO Creator Brick Bank (10251), Amazon has restocked it at retail price. If wasn’t announced but we gotten word from a few sources that it was retired at the end of last year and it is currently marked as sold out on Shop@Home. I’m not sure how many Amazon has in stock but you should get it if you wanted it and missed out before it retired.
