Double VIP points at the LEGO shop @ home

October 11, 2020 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: < 1 minute

If you head over to the LEGO Shop at Home site and purchase you’ll be rewarded with double VIP points on anything you buy. The offer is valid until October 20th and doesn’t come up very often so make the most of it!

I’ll be using this to grab some much needed parts but what about the sets? The new Christmas sets are there for those building a winter village.

Sadly the upcoming sets I really want don’t land till November so will miss this opportunity.

What are you interested in? Will you be buying anything? Let me know in the comments.

Head on over to LEGO now to check out the range!
