Here are LEGO’s pre-Black Friday 2021 VIP Weekend offers and GWPs!
LEGO have unveiled their offers for VIP Weekend 2021, their pre-Black Friday sales weekend which runs from 20 – 21 November 2021.
On offer is a larger-than-usual selection of gift with purchases (GWPs) for LEGO VIPs, double VIP points, as well as incentives for making large purchases through LEGO.com.
Note: this isn’t LEGO’s Black Friday shopping event (which includes the release of the UCS AT-AT), but if it’s like previous years, LEGO.com typically runs out of most interesting items by the Black Friday Cyber Monday weekend, so it’s best to plan your purchases around the 20th and 21st.
Here’s the list of LEGO VIP Weekend 2021 promotions (20-21 November)
- Double VIP Points on all purchases
- Retro LEGO logo Tin Sign GWP – free with purchases over US$250 / AU$309 / £250
- 40484 Santa’s Front Yard GWP – free with purchases over US$170 / AU$229 / £170
- Buildable Vintage camera VIP reward – redeemable with 2000 VIP points in the VIP Rewards Centre
- VIP Sweepstake: win a 55cm tall Bonsai Tree – UK/Europe only

Update: the retro LEGO logo tin sign’s redemption period has been extended till 25 November.

Retro LEGO logo Tin Sign GWP
This is a pretty neat piece of memorabilia that will make of retro LEGO stuff happy. This retro tin sign, with the LEGO logo that was in use from 1939-1949 has the most expensive purchase threshold (US$250 / AU$309 / £250), but is probably the most unique item offered in a while.
Update: the retro LEGO logo tin sign’s redemption period has been extended till 25 November.
It sure beats last year’s Teal VIP Brick!
40484 Santa’s Front Yard GWP
This year’s Christmas-themed GWP is 40484 Santa’s Front Yard (revealed last week), which will be yours with purchases of US$170 / AU$229 / £170 or more. It’s a very snazzy vignette, and would not look out of place in your LEGO Winter Village, or alongside the Santa’s Visit set.
Buildable Vintage camera VIP reward
Are you into 35mm film cameras? Redeemable for 2,000 VIP points is this buildable vintage camera, which looks like a fun little build, with no exclusive parts.
It’s no Ulysses Space Probe, but think of it as a fun little bonus build if you have VIP points to spare.
VIP Sweepstake: win a 55cm tall Bonsai Tree
For those in Europe, and North America, you’ll get your hands at gambling your VIP points for the chance at winning this LEGO Bonsai Tree sculpture.
Don’t mistake this for 10280 Bonsai Tree, as this is a pretty substantial model – measuring over 55cm tall!
Unfortunately for us Australians, we never really get a shot at VIP Sweepstakes, possibly due to local gambling laws.
Hope you found this guide to LEGO’s 2021 VIP Weekend useful, and start planning your purchases, for the gift with purchase you want!
I wasn’t going to get anything, but the Retro LEGO Tin Logo came out of nowhere, so I’ll have to think of a way to get my hands on it as it’s such a cool piece of memorabilia.
It’s definitely a huge step up from 2020’s VIP Weekend in terms of offerings, and should really tide you over if you need to finish your Christmas LEGO shopping, or round up any 2021 purchases you might have missed out on!
Don’t forget, there’s also the LEGO UCS AT-AT looming menacingly over the horizon, which launches the following week, on Black Friday, 26 November 2021.
