Brickander Brickumnus Posted September 30, 2021 Hello. I have 1500 VIP Points that expire in a few days. I was hoping to use them in order to buy 40515 "Pirates & Treasure" VIP Value Add-On pack, but this item has not been released yet. So any other Pirate buying suggestions (excluding sets 21322 and 31109)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zinnn Posted September 30, 2021 Ive just recently spent my points on Pick a Brick bits, they have pieces from Barracuda Bay, those came in handy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evancelt Posted September 30, 2021 I'd recommend getting the medium nougat hulls on Bricks and Pieces using points. Can also pick up sheep, boot pant legs, cannons, rigging, misc vegetation and pieces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Pick a Brick does not have the option to buy cannons and hulls (which is what I want the most). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickander Brickumnus Posted October 4, 2021 The only way to redeem my 1500 points is by choosing 2 of the €5 Discount? And what does this give me? Discount codes? Can I stack them together in my order (for a total 10€ discount)? Is there another way of redeeming points (like using them directly when I make the order)?

TheLegoDr Posted October 4, 2021 Did they alert you they were expiring or are you assuming? I have a mass of points saved up. I guess I should get to spending before they are lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I should get to spending before they are lost. All you have to do is make a purchase or redeem points once every 18 months to avoid having points expire but Lego will notify you if you are at risk of having points expire. From the Lego VIP terms and conditions: "All Points will expire after 18 months of no activity on the VIP Account. Activity is defined as earning or redeeming Points. The 18 months will be rolling and will be reset at the time of activity. LEGO Group will send you a reminder email to your VIP Account email 3 months before Points expiration."

But I'll assume when it is released, the set won't be called "Ray the Castaway" and it will look somewhat different to what was submitted to LEGO Ideas.

Brickander Brickumnus Posted January 26 During Black Friday, LEGO had the 5€ Discount for 75% off. I got 4 of them, the maximum allowed. Very useful, cause I made a purchase from Bricks & Pieces (I finally got these me loving cannons!) Now my PotBB will have 12 of them. Does LEGO do this kind of discounts sometime else during the year, besides Black Friday? Even if the % discount is lower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be very useful right about now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
