Here are LEGO’s pre-Black Friday 2021 VIP Weekend offers and GWPs!

November 15, 2021 By Jay 12 Comments

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
  • VIP Reward Centre Sale – discounted VIP Rewards

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

Check out the details for each VIP Weekend Offer for your region below:

  • LEGO VIP Weekend 2021 [US]
  • LEGO VIP Weekend 2021 [AU]
  • LEGO VIP Weekend 2021 [UK]
  • LEGO VIP Weekend 2021 [DE]
  • LEGO VIP Weekend 2021 [CA]

These offers all stack, so you’ll be able to claim multiple rewards at once, so start planning your wishlist!

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.

Will you be ordering anything over VIP Weekend? Let me know which promotions or GWPs catch your eye in the comments!

    Hi Jay,
    I also like the retro Lego sign. Alas my Titanic arrived today, and that’s it for spending this season, so I’m hoping the sign will also be available through points or some such.

      Nice one scoring the Titanic! Hope you enjoy the build – what a cracking way to end the year!

      Unfortunately, I doubt the sign will be available for points redemptions 🙁

    Hi, so if there’s a new GWP for black weekend, I need to make a purchase before to get Charles Dickens? Or will you get 2 GWPs (or 3 if you reach limit for the lego sign)?

      The set 40484 Santa’s Front Yard will be the gwp on both VIP Weekend and Black Friday. If you want a different gwp, there should be a new one on December 1.

      If you spend enough you will get both the Santa’s Front Yard gwp and the Tin Sign gwp at once in a single order during VIP Weekend. I do not know what you mean by “3 GWPs”, there are only two gwps listed right now.

      Not too sure if there’ll be one outside of the Lightsaber that comes with the UCS AT-AT. Chances are pretty high that there’ll be one more, but I haven’t heard anything solid yet.

      All GWP offers can stack, so you can get all if you’re lucky!

    Does discounted vip rewards mean the points will be worth more money when traded in or does it mean the drawings, avatars, etc will cost less points? Or maybe both? I’m wondering if I should wait to trade in vip points for discount codes.

      Discounted VIP rewards means VIP rewards cost fewer VIP points. If it’s like last year this will not include discount codes during VIP weekend, but there may be a couple of codes offered at half price during specific days on Black Friday weekend which you can only buy one of each.

        Thanks Ed! Just to add, it’s likely LEGO trying to clear their inventory of unpopular VIP rewards.

      It’s more for redemption of rewards lirk art prints.

      They rarely offer more money for trade ins

      Yeah. I think their currency conversion software is miscalibrated…

One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 M One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 Marina Bay Sands! 🇸🇬 

Singapore celebrates their National Day on 9 August, and to mark the occasion, I've dug into my vault to showcase the Marina Bay Sands, one of Singapore's contemporary architectural landmarks! 

Released in 2014, it's notorious for being one of the most sought-after Architecture sets, because only 10,000 copies were made.

To make matters worse, they sold exclusively in Asia in countries like Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and the Marina Bay Sands gift shop!

Thankfully, LEGO released a newer 21057 Singapore Skyline earlier this year which also includes the Marina Bay Sands, but this is a relic from an era where LEGO had regional exclusives in their portfolio.

Happy National Day, Singapore!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing @little.ongs play with 10305 Lion Knights' Castle, which I've conveniently left in an easy to access spot in the house. 

While yes, this set is big and meant for adults, the playability and story-telling is so native to kids that it's a great set to share with your kids if you have any.

👑 Having THE definitive LEGO Castle being ruled by Queen Lionne also sends a great message to little girls and a fantastic celebration of #lego90years 

10305 Lion Knights' Castle launches today for VIPs and if you're lucky enough to be in the position to pick one up, I hope you enjoy and savour every moment of the build of what is quite possibly my favourite set of 2022.
