AFOL Shopping Days: A sticker or nothing ...

Big change in the LEGO policy towards French AFOLs with a tightening of the conditions of access to AFOL Shopping Days, these one-off events that I have already told you about on the blog and which allow adults who love LEGOs to obtain a 15% discount on all products offered in the LEGO Stores. 

It is no longer enough to be a teenager or adult (16 years minimum), to like LEGOs and to agree to get up early to benefit from this privilege: You will now need to have a VIP card (Free registration in line on the Lego shop) and a sesame, in this case the sticker above, which can only be obtained via the LUG of which you are a member (This process has already been in effect in the USA since 2012). Access to the four AFOL Days planned in France in 2014 will therefore be reserved for holders of this sticker who will undoubtedly have to register with the managers of their LUG, indicating which LEGO Store they will want to go to on the day of the operation.

Note that there is no longer a specific time slot, you just have to go to the cash desk during the day in question and present your VIP card with the sticker provided by the LUG.

I forgot, it is already possible to get this sticker against a few euros, I have just been offered a handful by email (I politely refused) ... Knowing that a priori the only people who have access to this sticker in quantity are necessarily the representatives of a LUG in contact with the brand ...

And when I ask if by buying this sticker I will have access to AFOL Days, the first of the four events planned for this year will take place on February 1, I am told that yes and that the staff of the LEGO Store will probably not verify if I am on the list of LUG members authorized to benefit from the specific conditions (15% discount on public prices in LEGO Stores) valid that day. CQFD.

Note: Do not ask me to tell you who you can buy this sticker from, register in a LUG instead if you are interested in these AFOL Days.
