Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I'm now glad that I didn't join the rush to order with a black card on day one. I'd rather have £100 off which is commonplace these days. I can't see LEGO offering £100 worth of goodies with this card, can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the information / rumors about that card holder promotion set including an exclusive figure are true and this promotion set is only available for black vip card holders, I assume that a lot of people want that fig. Easily 100€ + in hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I paid the RRP of £649.99 and still had nothing to show for it, I'd be in touch with Trading Standards by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Heard from a Lego customer service rep that there is def something planned for black VIP card holders. They hadn’t been told what it was but had been told that “something” is being planned. Let’s hope it’s as good as the rumours already mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legojona Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I'm just going to assume it is a $2 minifigure that you get when spending more than $50... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least if ordered close to the release date should be able to stack with the free promo holiday carousel and possibly even the Vader pod (if getting Vader's Castle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, after the completely lacking "promotional" stuff from LEGO this year for getting the Black Card, is anyone actually going to want to display their Black Card and admit we got duped by LEGO? The friends of mine who know I have the black card laugh about it every time it comes up in conversation. It's the last time I will worry about a "promotional card" from LEGO. Maybe if LEGO gave us one pick of our favorite years-past Star Wars give-away set (I.E Space Slug Escape or something similar) with Star Wars purchase, that might be pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jedi Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I guess I'm in the minority, but I like this a little bit. Certainly, I"m not blown away by my good fortune at the opportunity to obtain this, but I can see building this and actually displaying my black VIP card alongside the Falcon. Much easier to display than the certificate that came with 10179. I'm going to hold out (admittedly little) hope that the black tile is printed to look like the black VIP card. Also I, don't understand why the head is black but the hands are yellow? Is the figure wearing a ski mask to hide his face because he's embarrassed about being a Black VIP card holder? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's a new minifig we can flip for a nice price. Are there any sw characters left to be released in minifig form? Or an unreleased version of one?

If they released an entirely gray Boba Fett as a nod toward the famous Kenner prototype of Fett, then I think that’d be exciting.

Kenxxx Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 To me the torso printing looks to match the MF logo on the VIP card. The thing in the fig's hand is his VIP card... it's a minifig to represent you, the VIP card holder. Maybe the black head is just a "space holder" for "your" head? i.e.... we're supposed to find a minifig head that "matches" us individually... glasses, beard, whatever...?

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I often wonder who would return their 75192 and black VIP card now for a 100% refund if they could after paying RRP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the UCS MILF, I didnt mind paying MSRP as I was caught up in the release-hype (#totallyworthit) and the Black VIP card was a nice touch. Honestly, I expected better promos with the card this year, but life goes on. Luckily, I was able to build the set and flip it to a local collector and get my money back before supply could match demand. Will buy another one for keeps when its goes EOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyhlee77 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Now I know what to do with the second black card I received. Put it on a stand next to a minifig for display!Sent from my SM-G920V using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincevaughn Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Personally I am ok with the black card promos up to this point but then again I quick flipped my Falcons during Christmas last year.This should have a stupid low buy in. I get they cant send it out free but seriously I shelled out money for the black card just to have the privilege of shelling out more money for a special promo? That i feel is a little insulting.Sent from my SM-G900P using Brickpicker Forum mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
