LEGO VIP Update
LEGO Is updating their VIP Program. If you have an account check your inbox. Thankfully they got rid of the need to decide in advance where you can redeem your points. It was annoying when they added that step it just slowed down my purchases. Read the details below.
We’re introducing some changes that will make it easier for you to get discounts on LEGO® products using your VIP Points.
You now no longer need to decide in advance how or where you want to use your discount. Any discount redeemed with VIP Points can be spent online, in store or by phone.
We’re also looking to make the in-store VIP experience more secure. To earn or use your VIP Points, you’ll now need to provide your card number or email address for your account. Please make sure you bring your card or details with you, as store associates will no longer be able to access your account without that information. The email address used for this communication should be the one associated with your account.
If you have any unused discounts from in-store or phone discount rewards that you’ve already redeemed in the Rewards Centre, we’ll credit your account with the relevant points value. Any LEGO.com discounts you redeemed will remain unchanged. Please contact our Costumer Service if you have any questions.

Independence Day
It a tradition President Whitmore’s Independence day speech. The part about tyranny, oppression, or persecution hits differently this year.
President Whitmore’s Speech From Independence Day
“Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist. and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, ‘We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on, we’re going to survive.’ Today we celebrate our independence day!”

Hoppy new year
Throg wishes you a Hoppy New Year, Throg is part of the MarvelStudios minifigure blind bag series. He is packed with Loki. The fountain (40221) is a LEGO creator set. I got it with the LEGO VIP program. the set has park benches and a dog. If you’ve seen my Hawkeye posts that dog is Lucky, the Pizza Dog. I wish the helmet and beard were gold like the wings. I think there’s too much gray in the set.
Otherwise a cool set. You’ll see it more on here.

Last Day of Dino Dudes 2 Kickstarter
Today is the last day of the Crazy Bricks Dino Dudes 2 on Kickstarter. The current Dino Dude suits are Carnotaurus, Dimetrodon, Ankylosaurus, Centrosaurus and Brontosaurus. You can choose a set of just the 5 costume pieces to add to your mini fogs.or a fully painted minifigure version of a single Dino Dude, or combinations of both. It’s $22 for a set of the five dino costume accessories or $22 for a single minifig of one Dino Dude. Plus more tiers.
There is still time to unlock add ons of Kaiju versions Brontosaurus and Triceratops or a new Parasaurus. These add on will cost extra. The Brontosaurus and Triceratops were part of the first run of Dino Dudes but this would be a new paint job.
check it out on Kickstarter they even have a promo video. The first series of Dino Dudes was awesome I’m looking forward to this new set.

Bro Thor’s New Asgard
Here is the Bro Thor’s New Asgard set (#76200) 265 pieces $29.99. Lots of small pieces for Thor’s home decor. I added some custom bricks to update the room. The set has many of the bricks that look like layered bricks( 1 x 2 with Masonry Profile). The masonry bricks are some of my favorite pieces. I’m glad there’s’ two colors in this set. Plus some of the Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on Side pieces used in Brick Headz. I like this set and will continue to modify it and use it as a setting in photos.
