Hi,

Apologies if this has been asked before, I'm new around here.

How could someone get these memberships, VIP cards, etc.?

Thanks in advance

@alican VIP card is a simple registration at LEGO homepage or a LEGO Brand Retail Store.

However, I don't know what the requirement for getting an RLUG-Sticker is... would love some enlightenment as well

The only official requirements for getting an RLUG sticker is that you're at least 16 years old and a member of a RLUG that participates in this:

- I don't remember if there are rules excluding certain RLUG's, like those primarily based online

- Some RLUG's might be based in a geographical region where any Brand Store is far away and choose not to bother with it

I do remember that the rules say you have to be 16 years old.

RLUG's are free to choose how they handle it in practice. So if you're a member of an RLUG (the only austrian RLUG I know of is LGOe) contact them to find out how they do it. As an example I can say that for members of Byggepladen (the Danish RLUG) the main rule is to contact me.

Thanks a lot for shedding a light on this. As the LGOe is located on the opposite side of Austria, I guess I'll try my luck in Bavaria, Bricking Bavaria in Munich is much nearer my hometown

Are the prices lower for AFOL with RLUG stickers? What's special about AFOL shopping days?

Ask your LUG Ambassador. He should have all the details.

So you'll probably have a chance, but the dates might be different. As @zuxsaid:Ask you LUG Ambassador.
