September isn’t even here yet but LEGO already has the October 2014 Store Calendar available and there are some cool promotions that you may want to know about. As we reported before, the biggest thing happening is the return of Double VIP Points. During the whole month of October, you can earn $5 for every $50 you spend. The next promotion is the Free Exclusive Holiday Set (40106) with purchases of $99 or more. The first of two holiday set this year features two elf minifigures in a workshop. It’ll go great with the LEGO Creator Winter Village Santa’s Workshop (10245) which will be from September 17-30 for VIP members or October 1 for the general public. November will have set 2/2 and it will be a Winter Skating Scene. Other notable things on the October 2014 Store Calendar includes: LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 12 (71007) will be available on October 1st. On October 6th, LEGO will be revealing the next exclusvie set. Speculation is that it will be the LEGO Star Wars UCS Slave I or the LEGO Creator Detective Agency Modular which we reported on yesterday.
The Monthly Mini Model Build is a Frankenstein which is a fan-created model. Starting on October 6th, there will be a LEGO City Racing Event at the LEGO Store. The LEGO Club Meeting on October 18 and 25 is a LEGO Star Wars one and the t-shirt features a Sandtrooper on a dewback. From October 20-26, there is a LEGO Friends Jungle Animal search and find at the LEGO Store. Find the animals hidden thoughout the store and geat a special LEGO Friends prize. On Halloween, visit the LEGO Store dressed in a costume and get a special LEGO treat, while supplies last.The first Tuesday of the month is here again and that means LEGO Brand Stores held the October 2014 Monthly Mini Build. For this month, it is a Halloween themed build with the Frankenstein Monster (40104). My store was extra busy today considering that it is Double VIP Points month. Also this month is also the release of the Series 12 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71007) and many people were trying to feel for the ones they want.
As you can see from the images, it was pretty packed. For the mini build itself, the Frankenstein Monster is a very simple build. You start at the legs and build up to the head. There is no special building techniques or any articulation on the model whatsoever. It seemed that many kids enjoyed the model because Halloween is coming up and it’s something they can use to decorate their house with. It doesn’t say on the November 2014 LEGO Store Calendar but next month’s build will be a cool Rocket on a launching pad (40105).

The environmental campaign group, protesting about the oil giant’s plans to drill in the Arctic, had targeted the world’s biggest toy maker with a YouTube video that attracted nearly 6m views for its depiction of a pristine Arctic, built from 120kg of Lego, being covered in oil.
Initially Lego had resisted Greenpeace, arguing that it ought to deal directly with Shell, but on Thursday it will relent. Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, the toy maker’s chief -executive, said Lego would honour its existing deal with Shell, which began in 2011, but “as things currently stand we will not renew the contract with Shell when the present contract ends”. Lego toy sets are currently distributed at petrol stations in 26 countries, in a deal valued at £68m. Lego had previously argued that the relationship had a positive impact on the world by inspiring children with its toy sets. Greenpeace activists also targeted Legoland in Windsor by dressing as Lego figures, while the campaign video, entitled “Everything is not awesome” attracted 5.9m views. John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, said the response from the public to its campaign had been extraordinary in terms of scale and -creativity. “It did touch a bit of a raw nerve about the partnership between the two companies that people thought was completely inappropriate – for a toy company like Lego to partner with an oil corporation – which is a sign of changes that are happening [in public attitudes towards fossil fuel companies],” he said.
He added that he hoped the move by Lego would prompt other organisations that work with Shell, such as London’s Science Museum, where Shell sponsors a climate change exhibition, to think twice about their partnerships. “Clearly Shell is trying to piggy back on the credibility of other brands. It’s a good PR strategy if you can get away with it. But as we’ve shown, if you can’t get away with it, that social licence is taken away. It does damage them a lot,” he told the Guardian. Knudstorp, CEO of the Lego Group, said in a statement on Thursday: “The Greenpeace campaign uses the Lego brand to target Shell. As we have stated before, we firmly believe Greenpeace ought to have a direct conversation with Shell. The Lego brand, and everyone who enjoys creative play, should never have become part of this dispute between Greenpeace and Shell. “Our stakeholders have high expectations of the way we operate. We do not agree with the tactics used by Greenpeace that may have created misunderstandings among our stakeholders about the way we operate, and we want to ensure our attention is not diverted from our commitment to delivering creative and inspiring play experiences.”
A spokesman for Shell said that the company enjoyed a successful and productive relationship with Lego. Of the Greenpeace campaign, he said: “We respect the right of individuals and organisations to engage in a free and frank exchange of views about meeting the world’s growing energy needs. Recognising the right of individuals to express their point of view, we only ask they do so in a manner that is lawful and does not place their safety or the safety of others at risk.” In January, Shell shelved its plans to drill for oil in the Arctic this summer, citing poor market conditions and internal failures. But in August, the company submitted a new offshore drilling plan to US authorities that could pave the way for the company to explore for oil in the Arctic in 2015, off the coast of north-west Alaska. Mark Borkowski, a brand consultant and founder of PR company Borkowski.do, said the co-promotion with Lego would have had “huge value” for Shell. “Kids have a very honest and pronounced view on things such as the Earth and -animals.
