Six new LEGO June 2023 sets to buy with double VIP points

With double VIP points available once again from today, here are six new LEGO sets for June 2023 that are well-worth picking up.

A new double VIP points event has kicked off today, with members able to claim twice the usual cashback online and in-stores. The latest offer runs from June 9 to June 13 and is perfectly timed to take advantage of multiple new LEGO sets that have been released so far this month.

Double VIP points are equivalent to 10% cashback on all purchases online and in-store, plus points can also be redeemed for discount vouchers and exclusive rewards. In addition, 40589 Pirate Ship Playground, 40607 Summer Fun VIP Add-on Pack and 5007622 Fleece Blanket are also up for grabs as GWPs during the promotional event (the latter only in the US), meaning you’ll get even more bang for your buck over the five-day period.

When it comes to exactly which LEGO sets to purchase during the event and bag double VIP points, you’re looking at over 70 new builds that have been released in June 2023 to date. To help you navigate this minefield of multiple models, here are six recommendations for must-have purchases.

The first-ever minifigure scale version of the iconic off-road vehicle, 40650 Land Rover Classic Defender is an impressive and affordable option.

The latest LEGO Icons release is an amazing love letter to a retro video game of the ’80s. 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade not only features a scaled recreation of the original cabinet (with ‘working’ maze), but there’s also a mini-arcade hidden inside the back of the set.

The biggest LEGO NINJAGO set ever is now available for fans of the theme and it’s one that comes with an incredible 21 minifigures. The four-storey model can be added to previous modular buildings in the range and features a ‘working’ cable car between levels, a bakery, blacksmith’s, a karaoke club and even (yes), a ‘flushing’ toilet. We’ve reviewed 71799 NINJAGO City Markets here, so you can find out all about it.

A unique and seriously-impressive display piece, 76252 Batcave – Shadow Box celebrates both Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns. The model can be shown off closed, with a giant Bat symbol offering a view inside, or opened up to reveal a detailed interior. You’ll need to dig deep for this LEGO Batman set (which we’ve reviewed here), but purchase the model during the double VIP points promotion and you’ll also snag a ton of currency for your digital wallet.
