1500 VIP Points that expire very soon - Buying Suggestions?

Recommended Posts

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)?

Ive just recently spent my points on Pick a Brick bits, they have pieces from Barracuda Bay, those came in handy

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 :pir-huzzah2:

It seems Bricks and Pieces is not available in Greece.

And Pick a Brick does not have the option to buy cannons and hulls (which is what I want the most).

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)?

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.

Yes you can stack multiple 5€ codes at checkout.

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."

There have been no further updates at this time.

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.

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. :pir-grin:

Does LEGO do this kind of discounts sometime else during the year, besides Black Friday?
Even if the % discount is lower?

Where's the photographic evidence to support this claim?

And why isn't there an emoji of a pirate scratching his chin in contemplation?

It would be very useful right about now.
