LEGO March 2019 Store Calendar Promotions & Events

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

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.

March 23 & 30: LEGO Life Meeting

January 30, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

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.

LEGO Monthly Mini Build Events Rumored to be Ending in March

January 29, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve been enjoying doing the LEGO VIP Monthly Mini Builds, you only have a few months left to do them. I’ve heard from a few different sources that the last event will be in March. Even though LEGO has a list going for the 2019 builds, it seems that the page will not be filled up after March.

The LEGO Monthly Mini Builds have been going since 2009 and it was extremely popular at its peak a few years ago. It may seem that attendance has dropped ever since registration was required starting in 2016 and that could be a reason why LEGO will be ending it. Before the change, it was on a first come, first served system where families lined up in front of the stores and wait their turn. The registration helped ease the congestion at the malls but it also required parents to remember to sign their kids up on a certain day which is an extra step that some didn’t want to take.
