    Trouble? I foresee no trouble. Might as well call this “Mando’s sleepover at the Tusken’s.”

    No "Moon" in sight. :D 

    This looks like a great set. I would've preferred Cobb Vanth and his kitbashed pod racer engine speeder but maybe they're saving him for a Mando vs. Krayt Dragon set or something later down the line.

    Also, lookit dat arm printing on Beskar Mando!

    The initial leaked pics of the set were stamped with "Moon" all over them.

    Just wait for the Spiderverse sequel.

    Pretty good! Nice too see Beskar Mando is a relatively cheap set. But yeah, would've been nice to see Vanth's pod racer speeder included.

    Best set of 2021 so far. Small 3-in-1 with great looking builds and comes with an awesome minifig. Sold. On multiples.

    Oh they did not just do an update of the old robot dude like they had in Spyrius and Exploriens. Yeah I definitely need that set.

    I'll almost certainly get this. One, it's a neat little set based on a good episode and two, Beskar Mando, which my Crest really should have.

    Medium-quality pics of Flower Bouquet and Bonsai Tree:

    IMG_6893.jpg IMG_6894.jpg

    Gotta say, that bouquet has to be one of the most unique Lego sets ever. Gorgeous colours, almost no conventional bricks, and such clever and creative part usage! Car hoods for petals; pteranadon wings for leaves...

    Tempted to pick that one up at some point. Rumoured price is $50; not too much more than an actual fancy bouquet, and would last a lot longer, haha!

    What is the likelihood of some sets that are currently listed as out of stock being available for VIP weekend?

    probably low, but I’ve been holding out for the Star Destroyer to come back in stock. This would be the second straight double points period it has been out for

    Oooh, that's pretty. For fifty, I'll probably have to grab it

    That was my first thought as well. Although this one looks a lot more accurate to the source material, and also has opening doors

    I like that tree a lot, for 50 I would be sorely tempted

    Double VIP Points are now live on Lego.com shop at home.

    You also get the free Charles Dickens bonus set and the free giant Teal Brick set if you spend enough money on the site.

    I got two sets of each for putting in two separate orders for the new UCS Ghostbusters Ecto-1 and UCS 1989 Batwing sets. Pretty awesome!

    Woo, landed the brick and Charles Dickens set by buying a lot of smaller stuff I had my eye on. Two 3-in-1 sets (pirate ship and camper) plus some other random sets. Glad that the Dickens book was not sold out.

    THAT’S NO MOON
    This is the kind of Space update that I want. The moon rover was alright, but not really something I was interested in. It felt like one of the City space sets from last year marketed as an update of Classic Space. I prefer more futuristic sets like this.
