Also, for those whom don't have one. It is tied to your account so you don't need it really and let's be honest, it's just another card that gets shoved in your wallet to never see the light of day again.

Dr.Dad Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It makes people swoon over me when I show it at the Lego Store.People at the Lego store swoon over my sweaty old man body after spending 3 hours meticulously filling a single pick-a-brick bucket in the middle of summer........but that’s cool that a black VIP card works, too.

If I buy a ferrari i expect a certain service that would be far more extravagant than buying a used car in a run down dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waddamon Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Was a dumb marketing ploy, to manipulate people to be the first to spend 800 on plastic. Sad truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they were able to flag the account so the double points benefit in Feb was available to you regardless of whether you had received the card yet. Have they announced a benefit for March?

Considering it is always going to be about "star wars sets" what else is there for them to offer other than.... % off all sets, something better than double points, BOGOF I believe a class action lawsuit may occur as they promoted wonderful events for those who bought the MF but are unable to deliver in any capacity that would really be a true "benefit" that no one else can get themselves. This includes simply going to WalMart, Target, or Amazon to get the sets at a cheaper price to begin with. It's not like they don't know whom their competition is and they should make these "sets" and these "perks" better than what the market offers.

I've said it many times, as like everything else with this set they under estimated the popularity of the set and in kind the program will suffer.

This is a matter of perspective, I've got several friends who are casual Lego fans and have picked up a MF. Quite a few were really happy with the double points last month and it got them into a Lego Store to spend more. Lego isn't looking at us when they come out with these promotions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Perhaps it is a mater of perspective. However, when they promised specials throughout the year for those of us who spent the money, then I think we need more than just "double VIP pts". Unless they made it double VIP pts throughout the year + discounts on new UCS sets, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but last month I can honestly say there was nothing that was appealing. If you have the MF, I believe chances are you already have the other larger sets too. It just screams scam all around at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shewie Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Cloud City is confirmed, Store managment knows about the new UCS set that is expected to be released in approx June. but they haven't seen the project yet + there will be some perks for VIP card holders most likely related to that release alone. there will be no Force Friday event this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thombockerman Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I would never "skip" may 4th.

crayxlp Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 this submission started me to think that TLG did not have the BCard bonuses and promos thought and figured out AT ALL! Guys.. whoever from you bought the MF .. would you believe that its so difficult for LEGO company to send you or offer you after like 6-2 months following your purchase AT LEAST some special minifig? geez! how many of you had even received some newsletter since New Year's Eve regarding the "special offers" that are reserved JUST for you...
