In addition, the Executive will be discussing the plan for this program going forward.
If you are planning to buy LUGBulk for delivery in 2020, you should come to this meeting.
If you can’t make this meeting, please submit your selected 5-element list to help us build the master list – for more details, please reach out to an Exec member.
Once per year, Recognized LEGO User Groups have an opportunity to order large quantities of LEGO bricks directly from The LEGO Company at preferred prices. This program is known as LUGBULK and NewfoundLUG is hoping to participate in the next offering (2020). In planning for this, we would like to hear whether members are interested in participating.
Please take a moment to fill out this survey. If you have any questions on LUGBULK please don’t hesitate to contact us.
