Exclusive LEGO Marvel Taxi Gift-With-Purchase Set Officially Revealed

After the reveal of the colossal LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower last week, it looks like LEGO is giving us another treat with the official reveal of the exclusive and exciting LEGO Marvel Taxi (5008076) gift-with-purchase set. Scroll down to take a look, and surely you won’t want to miss this limited-edition gem.

What to Expect from the LEGO Marvel Taxi GWP set

lego marvel taxi

From what we can glean from LEGO.com, the LEGO Marvel Taxi freebie comes in a vibrant yellow box that houses not just the GWP set itself, but a piece of the LEGO Marvel universe. The LEGO Marvel Taxi comes snug in its slightly thin yet charming packaging. However, it’s pretty exciting to see that the building instructions booklet is placed at the front.

Printed Out in Details

As confirmed by The Brick Fan, it’s nice to know that LEGO opted to throw in some printed elements together with the LEGO Marvel Taxi. Usually, gift-with-purchase sets come with stickers instead of printed parts.

So it’s great to hear that this freebie will come with 5 printed elements to adorn the brick-built taxi model. Any LEGO fan will surely welcome this kind gesture from LEGO. It’s proof of LEGO’s attention to detail and building quality that elevates this promotional set to a sought-after collectible.

The LEGO Marvel Taxi Further Expands the Number of Your Minifigures

The LEGO Marvel Taxi isn’t just about the vehicle but also underscores a minifigure-studded cast. Included in the set are four minifigure characters that bring the Marvel universe to life. Black Panther takes center stage, flanked by two outriders ready for action. And let’s not forget the unsung hero – the taxi driver, an integral part of this exciting brick-built ensemble.

It’s a LEGO Black Friday Bonanza

Hold on to your bricks because here’s another exciting kicker – the LEGO Marvel Taxi is not just a promotional set you can get from any LEGO purchase; it’s a welcome treat that will launch as part of this year’s LEGO Black Friday deals.

Snag this set for free when you purchase the LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower (76269) during the Black Friday weekend from November 24-27.

Unveiling the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610: A Sneak Peek at Our Next GWP Set

It’s November! By now, you’re probably prepping up for your annual custom LEGO Winter Village build. And here’s a fun and free way to add more fun to your build – LEGO has just introduced its new LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610.

Exploring the Newest Gift-With-Purchase Set – the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610

If you recall, LEGO revealed a similar gift-with-purchase (GWP) polybag last month in the form of the LEGO Christmas Fun VIP Add-On Pack 40609.

Since LEGO has rolled out a similarly themed polybag freebie, I’m not quite sure if this is just a regional variation or an entirely new offering on top of set 40609. As of this posting, only LEGO Singapore and LEGO Malaysia are listing the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610.

Nevertheless, the latest free giveaway is a welcomed addition to any winter-themed LEGO collection. Let’s dive in and see what we can expect from this new promotional item just in time for the holidays.

First Glimpse of the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610

While the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on expansion set is not yet available in the US, our friends in Singapore and Malaysia have the privilege of getting a first look at this delightful creation. Valued at $10, this free set is a welcome departure from the usual Christmas-themed sets, and offers a variety of winter-themed pieces that will spark your creativity.

40610

Piece Count and Other Unique Parts

Featuring 142 parts, the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack includes plenty of interesting pieces centered around the winter season. Not including the white LEGO bricks, we can expect plenty of holiday pieces such as pine trees, brown LEGO pieces, a playful squirrel, and plenty of minifigure accessories such as skis, snowboards, a guitar, an axe, and more.

lego winter fun vip add-on

To add this set to your shopping cart for free, you will likely need to make a minimum purchase of $50 in the LEGO online shop. While the exact promotional period for December is yet to be confirmed, I’m really forward to seeing this in the LEGO US online shop and other regions as well.

For a more in-depth look at the 40610 Winter Fun set, you can visit LEGO’s Pick a Brick feature, where you can explore the list of included parts. Please note that the white house is not included in the set; it’s used to demonstrate how you can use these components to create your winter-themed models.

The Legacy of LEGO VIP Add-on Gift-With-Purchase Packs

Needless to say, the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on 40610 expansion set is a remarkable addition to LEGO’s collection of VIP Add-on Packs. This release marks the tenth in the series, and it follows the success of nine unique VIP giveaways. If you recall, we also saw a LEGO Lunar New Year VIP Add-On Pack and a lot more similar gift-with-purchase packs from 2021.

Each of these small sets has had its own theme, often drawing inspiration from the seasons. In the case of winter, we now have the privilege of seeing a second polybag offering. This set stands out from its predecessor, the LEGO Winter Wonderland VIP expansion set 40514 from 2021, with its distinctive composition and fewer Trans-Light Blue elements for crafting icy landscapes.

LEGO fans have much to look forward to with the upcoming release of the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on 40610. This unique promotional offering adds more fun to your LEGO winter collection and promises to spur your imagination to build more holiday-themed creations.

Stay tuned for more updates about this GWP set.

September LEGO VIP Reward: Retro-Ad Tin Lunchbox

LEGO collectors who haven’t signed up for their VIP program might ask: why join? Those in the know might answer: why not join? Being able to accumulate VIP points to invest in a future LEGO set makes for one advantageous perk. And there’s also the matter of rewards the program gives out. Products exclusively available on LEGO VIP are major points of pride for serious collectors. After all, some of them aren’t even brick sets but cool LEGO-themed merchandise to broadcast your FOL-ness. It just so happens that LEGO VIP has got a new reward coming for its loyal membership.

According to Brickset, next on the LEGO VIP Rewards block is a cool retro-style tin lunchbox. Now that’s one item to fancy yet another sector of the collectors’ community. The lunchbox art evokes 1965, since it’s an advertisement for Basic Building Set in Cardboard (050), released that year. That “Today in 2065” blurb must’ve seemed like the distant future so long ago. The actual box art for Basic Building Set is even replicated on the tin. LEGO and lunchbox collectors with VIP membership can get this reward for 2500 VIP points starting on September 1.

LEGO Explains Further Target’s VIP Points Availability Promo

When the month of August started, LEGO made waves with collectors regarding their latest deal with retail giant Target. This involves the initiative making points from LEGO’s VIP program available when buying sets at Target stores. It’s an impressive deal considering that, while limited-time only, the promo lasts until the end of January next year. If US LEGO shoppers have Target stores nearby, they can earn VIP points (if members) over a six-month period. But for all the convenience there are of course some conditions regarding the LEGO VIP-Target availability.

Brick Fanatics brings us some additional specifics regarding being able to get VIP points buying LEGO from Target. One caveat, actually revealed upon the announcement, was the $=point difference between purchases direct from LEGO and from Target. Where $1 becomes 6.5 VIP points when buying from LEGO.com or LEGO Stores, Target has a $1=1 point rate. This is rather mitigated when one considers Target’s many discount possibilities with their LEGO set offerings. One new condition concerns the buyers. The VIP points promotion is effective within US Target stores only. Specifically, those availing the offer must have VIP accounts from LEGO.com US, not elsewhere. That’s unfortunate as Canadians or Mexicans can’t just travel stateside to join.

To avail VIP points from LEGO products bought at Target, VIP members must snap a picture of their Target receipt. Provided it has a LEGO item listed, sending the image to LEGO.com VIP Rewards Center will credit the VIP points. LEGO hasn’t said anything yet. But perhaps if the test with Target in the US is successful, they could partner with other retailers worldwide. It may not follow soon enough after Target, but it could happen perhaps in the future.

LEGO VIP Offers Pirates and Treasures (40515) Polybag as GWP

It’s been years since the last prominent instance of pirate-themed AV media, in film, TV series or videogames. The same goes perhaps for LEGO, with the Pirates of Barracuda Bay (21322) Ideas set launching last 2020. But does this mean that pirates have lost its luster in popular imagination, much less LEGO building? Probably not if this new gift with purchase from LEGO is any indication. True, it’s only a polybag and also a VIP member exclusive. But its contents could enhance a LEGO collector’s pirate-themed building time. As Stone Wars has it, here’s LEGO VIP’s latest GWP giveaway promo.

40515 alt1

The Pirates and Treasure VIP Add-On Pack (40515) is exactly what it says on the polybag. It’s a massive pile of pirate accessories and accouterments. Add these to any brick-built project to give it an undeniable pirate-y flair. From Jolly Rogers to tricorne hats, treasure chests to minifig skeletons, cannons to sharks, this pack’s got it all. And it can be had by VIP members for LEGO purchases of at least $50. The promo runs until September 30 or supplies of VIP Add-On Pack 40515 last. So Arrrrrh, what’re ye VIP Cap’ns still waitin’ for?

Target Offers LEGO VIP Points on Store-Bought Sets

While LEGO products are available in most major toy outlets, there are advantages to buying direct from LEGO. Be it from LEGO.com Shop or LEGO Stores, buyers can get an advantage by joining LEGO’s VIP program. Why pass on a chance for extra freebies and offers, and saving VIP points for future purchases? Of course, that’s the deal only when you purchase your sets from LEGO Stores and LEGO online. But what if your LEGO VIP membership can earn points even when buying somewhere else? Over the weekend a retail brand’s been getting attention after news that they’ve made VIP points available at their stores.

The Brick Fan reports that LEGO VIP points can be earned at Target Stores for an extended yet still-limited time. Those holding VIP membership can earn a point for every dollar spent buying a LEGO set from Target. Well, that’s the simplified version. The updated Target webpage explains the whole deal. To avail of this offer, one need to be a LEGO VIP for starters. They must take a photo of their Target receipt (with a LEGO purchase). Then they can upload it on the LEGO.com VIP members page. Every LEGO bought at Target with receipt can be uploaded at the VIP Page for points.

Now we said the Target VIP points are limited. Short-term, it means LEGO shoppers at Target can only accumulate 1,000 points max in a calendar month. They can still earn more buying from LEGO Stores. Long-term, the Target VIP point period lasts only until January 31 next year. That’s about six months availability. Too bad the arrangement’s not permanent. But for LEGO VIPs any other place to earn points is welcome, however brief it is.
