The invitations are starting to arrive in the mailboxes of customers selected by LEGO: The grand opening party of the LEGO Store in Clermont-Ferrand will take place from February 26 to March 1, 2014.

As usual, the fastest 200 will be able to get a free gift upon presentation of the invitation received by mail. 

The first 300 customers each day who spend € 30 or more will get an exclusive giveaway and a treasure hunt with raffle should also win some cool stuff.

I remind you that we do not really know how LEGO selects those who will receive an invitation but that the formula used by the manufacturer is a priori the result of a clever calculation between the volume of orders on the LEGO Shop or in the LEGO Store, the total amount of purchases made during the year and the age of the captain ...

As shown on Hoth Bricks, the French Store Calendar of March 2014 confirms that the polybag 5002126 containing Martian Manhunter will be offered in March on the LEGO Shop from 55 € of purchase.

You can download the full Store Calendar in PDF format at this address.

At the risk of repeating myself, it is often necessary to be patient with the promotional offers announced by LEGO in the USA, they are often also available in Europe.

A little patience will save you a few precious euros ...

The online availability of the Store Calendar of March 2014 confirms that the polybag 5002126 containing the minifig of Martian Manhunter which we have been talking about for a few days on Brick Heroes will be available in France for 55 € of purchase on the LEGO Shop.

Confirmation also for the Disney Princess 30116 Rapunzel polybag at the market, including we were talking at the beginning of february, which will also be offered with any purchase in the Friends and Disney Princess ranges.

As usual, these two polybags will be available within the limits of available stocks, so it will not take too long to order online to benefit from them.

Another announcement of this Store Calendar: Availability from March 1 for all customers of the Lego shop (with an exclusive pre-sale for VIP customers from February 17) of the 70810 Metalbeard's Sea Cow set.

Nothing else to report for the month of March. Note that the Store Calendar, to download in PDF format at this address, still doesn't mention the Disney Village LEGO Store.

This is not the deal of the century, but it may help some of you: Auchan offers from February 12 to 18 a 2 + 1 free promo on a few sets whose selling price is € 9.99.

On the visual above, we can see that the sets 41027 Mia's Lemonade Stand, 41028 Emma's Lifeguard Post, 75030 Millennium Falcon (Microfighters), and 60053 Race Car are a priori part of the offer.

Please note, the Auchan catalog specifies that it is useful to see in-store to obtain details of the products concerned by this offer.

The (rare) sales continue on the LEGO Shop, and there are a few sets left at -50% including the TMNT set 79105 Baxter Robot Rampage at 22.49 € instead of 44.99 € and The Lone Ranger set 79107 Commanche Camp at 13.49 € instead of 26.99 €.
