For those who are not LEGO VIP members, the LEGO Marvel Hulkbuster (76210) is now available for the general public. It’s still the same price for everyone at $549.99 but you won’t get any of the promotional gifts that the VIPs do like the Fleece Blanket or the Fun and Funnky VIP Add On Pack. It’s advantageous to sign up to be a VIP member as you can earn points towards various rewards including discounts as well as getting free promo items.

Earlier this morning, LEGO sent out an email to VIP members with some coupons to use on the LEGO Shop. They are offering two different ones to use by November 14 which includes a spend $65, save $10 and a spend $100, save $15. Both saves you about 15% off your purchase which isn’t too bad. I’m not sure if all VIPs get the email but if you don’t see it, try checking the spam folder as sometimes LEGO’s emails go there.
There are still a few promotions going on that can run concurrent with the discount including the Fleece Blanket with a $200 purchase and the Fun and Funky VIP Add On Pack with a $50 purchase. Remember to use Rakuten to earn some cash back on your purchases.
Update: It may seem that not all VIPs are getting the email. According to observations made online, the email could have been catered to less spenders but I have purchased every month and still got it so it may be randomly sent to members.
