Last August the Ideas Seinfeld set (21328) celebrated the sitcom’s 30 th anniversary (2019, two years late). Based on recent set releases, LEGO loves cashing in on IP anniversaries. You see, “Naruto” is celebrating its 20 th anniversary (start of anime) next year in 2022. DadiTwins are presenting their “Naruto” set, based on key manga/anime location the Ichiraku Ramen, in time for a milestone. Nobody in this day and age who has read Japanese manga and watches anime would not know about “Naruto.” The story of a lad in a world of ninjas who dreamt of becoming Hokage has inspired generations worldwide.

Of course, we can probably count on a renewed 2x VIP Points period at minimum. LEGO made no announcements on what to expect in those two days, leaving that reveal for November 15. The event runs one weekend from November 20 to 21. Black Friday falls on November, remember? Expect those VIP events to come one after the other.Īs The Brick Fan tells us, LEGO replaced the already-concluded Double-VIP Points event for a VIP Weekend announcement. Already, LEGO is charting out a new special period next month for VIP members to take advantage of. Points for additional purchases, early access to hot new products and exclusives never run out when you’re a VIP. Promo periods like these prove time and time again that joining LEGO’s VIP program is a great idea. For LEGO VIP members, the most recent event for them – a week of double-points – came and went last weekend.
