The free sets are listed now. I'll pop lego a mail when I get my order number to see if they can sort it out.

I see them in it but when I add the medieval set to the bag they are not appearing in it. I don't want to be emailing them and there like well you ordered on the 31st January.

That's fair enough but the Blacksmith isn't supposed to be released until the first so they can't really use that as an excuse. I'll chance my arm anyway, no harm in asking. Like I said not too worried if I miss out.

Just popped off an email there. Like yourself it wouldn’t bother me too much to miss those sets.

Ahhh I understand but you spent loads so you might as well get the free items. Take a screen shot saying was up on Irish part of their site when you bought them before 12.

I'd say it's more than likely an error with it not loading into people's carts. Contact customer service and enquire.

Just checked my order (over €85) and it lists the free valentine's flower and another free item, SKU: 6301722. I'd hazard a guess that's the free year of the ox set.

Thanks i see that in mine now as can get into it looks blank on that part in the order but has above code like your one. You reckon it will show up eventually or throw them an email in regards it?

Just got my confirmation email and it's listed there so I'd hold off until you get your confirmation email first.

They weren't in my confirmation mail either. Rang them this morning and it's all sorted. They can't add them to the original order because it's already processed but I got a 2nd order number for just the promo sets.

Ahhh glad you were sorted with that. Only right as well.

My Year of the Ox thing didn't list in the order but was in the email, ordered around 2am. Blacksmith on the way

I didn't know that you could only order one VIP reward per order so I have a code for one of the prints, the 1958 System Brochure, going free if anyone wants it? I can PM it to whoever, don't want to post it here for an opportunist.

They expire after 60 days and I definitely won't be making an order by then.

Lego have launched personalised mosaics from the online store for the first time. It was previously only offered in store.

Not available in Europe yet but its $130 and around 6000 pieces. Submit your own photo (of a face) and they'll mosaic it. Can see it being an awesome gift!

Us link here for reference

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/personalised-mosaic-portrait-40179

Anyone else had a play with this? Sadly it seems to only do greyscale images based on the couple of test pictures I tried (the album cover of David Bowie's Aladin Sane)?

Came across this today for those with the older batmobile. Was painless to order the new roof

I also got stung ordering the blacksmith before midnight but a call to Lego today sorted the free bits

I have the mosaic set from a few years ago in London. What I would love is if for a much smaller price they would convert other photos for you to re-use the set. It's standard set contents 500 x 5 different colours. Would love to get a pic of each of my kids so they could rebuild with the set. Like I say, I wouldn't even mind paying if it was a reasonable price!

I've seen other sites online where you can upload a photo and it generates the design for you. The Lego site itself also claims to be able to get an online design for you if you already have the set:

It must be fairly random, I had an order shipped on the 25th and out for delivery on the 29th. It didn't spend much time in Belgium at all.

Totally. I used to build lego as a kid, then grew out of it.
During lockdown, started building some sets with my son, now hooked on it again.
See snakess1980 on Instagram for my collection.

Definitely. It was the first set I got once I started collecting again.

Absolutely! It's an excellent build imo. It can balance upright too which means you can easily place it standing on a floor somewhere.
