I have loved Lego since I was a child, and even now I still build more and more sets, even with my son. As part of the fact that I buy Lego quite often and spend quite a lot of money on it every year, I am of course a member of the Lego Insiders program, just like everyone who enjoys Lego. As part of this program, you collect so-called Insider points, i.e. points that basically mean money. You can either buy various exclusive gifts with them or, for example, participate in various prize draws, or you can simply exchange them for regular money and then spend them on Lego.com. It is still necessary to emphasize that if the favorite set you want is on sale somewhere, it is better to buy it on sale, which is usually more advantageous than the points you get for buying the set directly on Lego.com.
By the way, you can collect points not only on Lego.com, but also when shopping in official Lego stores. Store, where you just need to present your Lego Insider card when paying. But what if you get or buy the kit somewhere else? You can still earn Insider points, but much, much less. Lego does not have a specific calculation that, for example, one spent Euro there are so many points, but each building set has a predetermined number of points. If you then buy a more expensive building set for, for example, €600, you will immediately get 5000 points. In addition, on days such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Children's Day and other events, it is often possible to get double the points. However, even for the smallest sets, the points are counted in the hundreds. If you have a set that you did not buy in the official Lego store, you have the option to scan the QR code from this set and add the set to your collection. By scanning, you will only get 20 points, which is nothing in the thousands and tens of thousands of points that you really need, but what is more interesting is the fact that the set will be added to your collection within your profile and you can quickly download instructions for it and the like. In addition, the application also gives you an overview of how many Lego bricks you have in total.
The QR code that you need to scan can be found on most sets (except for some gifts with purchases or really small sets), on the instructions for assembling the kit. Then you just take your phone, go to lego.com and log in to your account there and choose the option to register the kit. The website will show you a camera, point it at the QR code and everything is done, the kit is added to your collection, including 20 points. By the way, you can also scan kits purchased on Lego.com and you will also get 20 points for them.
