LEGO is on time and that's already a good thing: It's barely past midnight and the April promotion is active on the LEGO Shop.

Nothing exceptional, as you already know, VIP points are doubled until April 15, a 10% discount on products ordered to be used on a future purchase.

What if you buy a DUPLO product between April 1 and April 21, LEGO will give you an apple. It's not an April Fool's Day, LEGO is actually offering a DUPLO apple (Reference 30068), six pieces in a polybag.

A little message for all Quebec readers of the blog that I would like to thank for their loyalty, just to let them know that the brand new LEGO Store in the shopping center Carrefour Laval has opened its doors and that the polybag 5002126 containing the Martian Manhunter minifig is currently available there with any purchase up to CAD 75.

The "Grand Opening"will take place later.

A second LEGO Store will soon open its doors in Pointe-Claire in mid-April.

For all those who are in Quebec and who wish to share their passion with other AFOLs, come and meet the very active QuéLUG community. at this address.

The US Store Calendar for the month of May 2014 confirms it: It is indeed the polybag 5002123 containing the exclusive minifig of Darth Revan which will be offered on the Lego shop from May 3 to 5, at least in the USA, and probably also here.

I remind you that with us the promotion May the Fourth should run over a week, from April 28 to May 5, 2014.

Those who follow the blog diligently will not need it, but I would like to point out that the April 2014 Store Calendar is available for download. at this address (1.8 MB).

On the menu: Almost nothing, except what we already know, namely that VIP points will be doubled from April 1 to 15 for any purchase on the Lego shop and in the LEGO Stores and the ad above for the special Star Wars week from April 28 to May 4.

LEGO is wasting no time and the 75059 Sandcrawler set is already online in the LEGO Shop with an effective availability date set for next April 28.

The price has increased further since the press release which indicated that the public price for Germany would be 299.99 €: With us, you will therefore have to pay 319.99 € to afford this box ...

Do not forget to register for the VIP program if you have not yet done so, you will accumulate 319 points which is equivalent to a 5% reduction on the price of the set to be used on a subsequent purchase.

VIP points will be doubled from April 1 to 15 in the LEGO Shop, but this set, which will only be on sale from April 28, will not benefit from this promotion.
