![]() Just look at these outrageous prices for such a tiny LEGO set.Īs far as I can remember, this issue of scalping for such rare LEGO sets has always been decried by the LEGO fan community and I do hope that LEGO will somehow be proactive in addressing this issue. I know I might sound harsh about this, but the truth of the matter is, such marketing promo just left a lot of legitimate LEGO fans disappointed with only those uncaring scalpers having a field day over at eBay. If LEGO opted for the GWP route on the LEGO NASA Ulysses Space Probe and has it as a tie-in specifically for the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283), then this LEGO VIP Reward tragedy could have been averted. And second, having LEGO, a highly respected and established company with all the means and resources at its disposal to ensure a smooth digital transaction for LEGO fans, to fail big time in making this set accessible to LEGO VIP fans, truly leaves me scratching my head. I would like to echo the frustration of most LEGO fans since as I’ve mentioned earlier, I’m not really a fan of these “VIP-only exclusives”. The experience of getting this relatively unattractive LEGO freebie in my opinion truly frustrates and perplexes me. And in a matter of 15-20 minutes, the entire thing is already sold out over at VIP Rewards Center. Though the latter was smoothly released without any problems or shortage of sets since the start of this month, the launching of the LEGO NASA Ulysses Space Probe was met with plenty of site glitches and hair-pulling loading errors as shared by LEGO fans across the internet. If you recall, the intention was to release the LEGO NASA Ulysses Space Probe to attract and draw attention towards its latest LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283). I would rather have the offer of GWPs or gift-with-purchase sets than having these exclusive VIP freebies. On top of that, I have a certain bias against the “exclusivity” of certain LEGO sets which should be otherwise be made available for all LEGO fans to enjoy. I have to admit that I was never really a fan of LEGO VIP rewards for the obvious reason that this customer rewards system is not available in my region. I understand LEGO’s intention of providing incentives to loyal LEGO fans through VIP rewards points, but this latest debacle of the LEGO NASA Ulysses Space Probe VIP Reward was met with a lot of site glitches and a good number of upset LEGO fans. This VIP promotion is subject to availability and only on offer while supplies last.If you are following the saga of this latest LEGO VIP Rewards hype, then you’ve probably felt the frustration of many LEGO fans on this side of the planet earlier today. You can only use one promotional code per order. The code is valid for 60 days and must be entered during checkout in the field labeled “Enter Promo Code”. You’ll get a promotional code for the reward, which you can redeem with your next purchase on. We only have a limited number available, so if you already got one in 2021, you will not be able to redeem points for it this time. We’ve brought it back this year for VIP members who couldn’t get one the first time around. In 2021, we celebrated the launch of the new NASA Space Shuttle Discovery with this special set. United States and Canada: 17th May 09:00am EDT.Australian and New Zealand: 17th May 09:00am AEST / 11:00am NZST.The set will be available again on May 17 at certain times for each country which you can check out below. LEGO has announced that they will be bringing the promo set back again for those who didn’t get it the first time around. Last year, LEGO released the Ulysses Space Probe as a promotion on the Rewards Center but was quickly sold out and was probably one of the worst executed promotions due to limited supply and extended delays.
