We never get tired, or so little, of discovering the new VIP rewards imagined by LEGO to extract our precious points. After the reversible bob at €19 (2850 points), here is the other essential holiday accessory for LEGO fans: the LEGO frisbee identified under the official reference 5007608 Summer Flying Disc on the official online store and valued at 19.99 €. The flying disc of summer.

With a diameter of 18cm, this durable silicone frisbee "is ideal for family fun" according to LEGO. Or with his dog in my opinion. it will cost you 2000 points or about 13 € in counter value to obtain the unique promotional code to be used during a future order. A case. The code obtained is valid for 60 days from the date of issue. Only one code for a physical promotional product usable per order. Don't push, we tell you.

Today we take a quick tour of one of the promotional products that will be offered at LEGO during the annual May the 4th operation: the reference 5007840 Return of the Jedi 40th Collectible. Valued at €14.99 by the manufacturer, the object will be offered to members of the VIP program from May 1 to 7, 2023 from €85 of purchase in products from the LEGO Star Wars range.

The official visual suggested a nice product with a successful finish, the reality is a little more disappointing: the packaging, a small black cardboard box, is of very poor quality, as is the insert that houses the blue plate and the coin. "collectors". It's sloppy, cheap, dusty, scratched and damaged right out of the box. Yet the packaging here is an integral part of the product since it is used in principle to expose the famous piece by tilting the interior insert.

The contents of the box also leave a little to be desired: the blue plastic plate is scratched upon unpacking and the scrap metal part has a more than questionable finish with burrs, especially around the logo of the LEGO Star Wars range present on one side of the coin.

We are far from the "collector" pieces offered elsewhere, the edge of this one is not even dressed to give it a little cachet. This item is as usual made by by Chinese company RDP which usually produces this type of goodies for LEGO, we can not decently say that the end result lives up to the elitist policy of the Danish manufacturer in terms of finish.

The minimum amount required to be offered the thing therefore seems rather high to me if we take into account the general level of quality of the object. It's cheap, the black box which is not even in a blister will not fail to be damaged a little more by walking around in the box containing the rest of your order and you will only be left with the part and the plate. blue that must be displayed elsewhere than in its original packaging.

LEGO should definitely be more demanding with its external suppliers, especially when it comes to derivative products that no longer have much to do with plastic bricks. I'm not sure that the proliferation of these slightly off-topic goodies brings anything in terms of image to LEGO even if it's probably cheaper than systematically offering sets or polybags and it seems that these products appeal to a certain part of the fans.

The general idea isn't bad, but there was probably room for improvement with, for example, a plastic box and a piece with a slightly more accomplished design. As it is, I'll settle for it because my order will exceed the required threshold, but it won't be the promotional product I'm most looking forward to in the package.

Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at May 4, 2023 next at 23:59 p.m. Just post a comment under the article to participate. Your participation is taken into account regardless of your opinion.
