Calm before the Star Wars and Jurassic storms. No VIP early access, so I guess the next exclusive will be the UCS Y Wing on 4th May.

Another nice Anniversary VIP set - 40th Anniversary of the Minifigure!!!  Reasonable minimum of $75!

Looks like a cardboard box with some LEGO inside though. I'm not really convinced...

The mini minifigs (statuettes) look like they're printed .. Those are pretty uncommon (though not expensive except the ironman one) so I could see those being 'desirable' enough to make the promo valuable out of the gate.

I feel the same, this will be exactly the same as it was with hideous christmas ornament tree from last year.

Hey, Vader´s pod is finally getting a release. Wasn´t it supposed to come out in December and they cancelled it?

I guess they are stackable promos.

Well, in Europe they seem to have painted it to look like a Ninjago Training Pod for 35 euros of Ninjago items and it seems we do get the minifig thing for 55 euros or more.

So no Vader Pod's for Europe?
Last year you could get Kai Dojo Pod with ANY purchase of Ninjago.
You could divide it in to 20 seperated transactions (in Store) for example Ninjago Minifigures Series for 2.99 each to get 20x Dojo Pods for free, now you have to pay at least 35EUR for inferior item.

I guess it will show up here eventually. Maybe they are keeping it back for May in case Solo set sales bomb.

I admit, that is what I saw and liked :).  Upon a closer glance it does look like cardboard, a la the caveman, easter bunny, etc.  BUT, if this unfolds to a diorama-type display, with a build housed inside its more palatable (to me).

The minifigure factory set is a must-have for me with those printed microfigures. One of them looks like a classic spaceman.

Good to see the Darth Vader promo coming back.
