The promotional offer which allows members of the VIP program to be offered a copy of the set 40485 FC Barcelona Celebration for the purchase of the set 10284 FC Barcelona Camp Nou was supposed to end on September 12, but it is finally extended until October 10.

Evil tongues will no doubt conclude that the 5500-piece stadium sold for € 329.99 does not attract as many people as expected, but LEGO does not take the opportunity to change the conditions of the offer by extending it to the whole of the catalog with a minimum purchase amount. It's a shame, I think that many football fans would have gladly fallen for this pretty little box of 178 pieces if it wasn't necessary to encumber themselves with the big set imposed.

The promise of the support of the VIP card in the LEGOs Certified Stores does not date from yesterday but it could finally be held.

LEGO today announces the establishment of a test phase in the LEGO Certified Store of Créteil with the opportunity to benefit from all the VIP advantages already available in the official stores: accumulate points, use them to benefit from a reduction on a purchase, obtain a gift offered exclusively to members of the VIP program or even enjoy a preview launch.

This first step towards a hypothetical standardization of the support of the VIP program by all the shops that display the LEGO brand, whether they are official or franchised and managed by the Italian company Percassi, will therefore soon materialize in a test phase. whose start date has not yet been communicated.

It is not known how long this full-scale test will last and LEGO warns that there is currently no question of generalizing the integration of the VIP program to others. Certified Stores. We will have to wait for the manufacturer and its partner in charge of managing these franchised stores to learn the first lessons from this first test phase to find out more.

We cannot repeat it enough: anything that gives or gives a little interest to a LEGO product already assembled or stored in a corner is good to take. LEGO currently offers two alternative assemblies for the set 31203 World Map with a reproduction of Denmark on one side and a map of Europe on the other. These two creations are proposed by designers of Billund, you can consider the two models as "official".

Denmark map instructions are available in PDF format at this address, those for the map of Europe are to download at this address. Even if you don't plan to dismantle the original set in the days or weeks to come because the task seems too laborious, I suggest you download both files without delay, we don't know how many of time LEGO will keep them online on its servers.

This is not a first, the LEGO ART set 31202 Disney's Mickey Mouse has also benefited for a few months from official instructions for two alternative models rather successful, just like the set 31201 Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests whose content makes it possible to assemble three alternative mosaics.

Notice to fans of the LEGO Ninjago universe who collect everything the manufacturer can market on the subject: LEGO is selling an anniversary set celebrating the 10 years of the range under the reference 5007024 Ninjago Anniversary Box.

For 24.99 €, we get a 96-page book (in French) published in 2017 and entitled The Book of Spinjitzu, a poster, some stickers and a golden Lloyd minifigure already seen this year in the set 71735 Tournament of Elements, all delivered in an exclusive box.

Not enough to get up at night, but probably enough to please a young fan.
