The set is visually rather successful with four products from the LEGO catalog featured: the sets 21332 The Globe, 10297Boutique Hotel, 10276 Colosseum et 21056 Taj Mahal.

LEGO could have offered the thing during a purchase on the official store, but the objective here is to make us "spend" our points for a reward rather than taking advantage of the reduction of 4 € they could have allowed. 'obtain. And you have to place an order anyway to be able to use the code generated during the conversion of the points. Smart, I cracked, but I will not send postcards, I keep them for me.
