As some of you may have noticed, The Simpsons House set 71006 is available in preview for VIP customers from January 17-31, 2014.

The retail price is 199.99 €, shipping is free, and don't expect this set to land quickly at Amazon at half price.

The purchase of this box earns you 199 VIP points, i.e. a reduction of € 10 on a future order. LEGO has introduced a limit of 2 boxes per customer / household.

In view of the license concerned, rather expect a rapid rupture of this box ...

The set will be available to all LEGO Shop customers on February 1.

Note that VIP customers can get 50 additional points until January 31 on sets 79104 The Shellraiser Street Chase (69.99 €) and 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout (169.99 €).

Note: Small clarification following the emails received this morning: VIP status at LEGO is NOT a privileged status reserved for an elite in the service of which I would be while despising the average customers !!! Theregistration for the VIP program, which is a loyalty program like many others, is open to all without special conditions and it's free !!!

For those who do not follow the comments, I remind you that the LEGO Creator Expert 10232 Palace Cinema set (2196 pieces, 6 minifigs) is currently at 99.90 € and in stock on FNAC.com instead of 139.99 € (Public price of the set on the LEGO Shop UK). Delivery is free.

At this price, we can be a little more indulgent with the fact that the projectionist is sitting IN the cinema room ...

It's almost the anniversary of LEGO Store Lille (which I am neither the owner nor the guardian ;-)), and to celebrate this first year of existence, some gifts will be offered to the fastest from Wednesday January 29 to Saturday February 1, 2014 ...

A LEGO gift (A set of three minifigs if we can trust the visual above) will be offered each day to the first 200 customers who spend € 30 in store, all of which is of course while stocks last.

Another event to note on your tablets, the Grand Opening du Lego store of Clermont-Ferrand will take place from Wednesday February 26 to Saturday March 1, 2014, but we'll talk about that.

If you follow the news of the LEGO ranges a little, you already know that the manufacturer has stopped the production and distribution of its range of diverse and varied board games.

Thus, the box above (257 pieces, 8 microfigs and the possibility of playing games lasting between 15 and 25 minutes for 2 to 4 players.), Very popular with collectors if I believe the large number of emails that i get about it wondering how to get it at a reasonable rate, quickly became untraceable.

It is obviously available on eBay from various sellers who are taking advantage of the discontinuation of the range to increase their margin, but there may still be a chance to get it at a fair price: This set is currently available on amazon UK at the price from £ 19.99 or around € 24.

You will have to pay the shipping costs to be delivered in France, but we are far from the sums requested by some sellers for this box whose public price was 29.99 € when it was launched.

Update: Following comments, the product is also available from the same seller on eBay at this address.

Quick tour of the merchants who have just launched their sales and I have gathered here the current offers with a direct link to the section that interests us in each of them: The LEGO space.

Be careful, there are not only good deals, do not rely only on the percentages of reduction displayed ....

If you find any interesting offers, feel free to share them in the comments.

You can use pricevortex.com as a basis of comparison for the prices charged by the different European versions of Amazon. You will be surprised (or not) to see that the "crazy sales"advertised by some merchants are not always that crazy ...
