Wall-E Revised Instructions.

LEGO has just published a revised instruction manual for troubled Ideas set 21303 Wall-E that details how it has resolved the loosely swiveling head problem.  The pieces will be sent to the people who purchased it before by calling customer service.
The difference between the two instructions is shown below.  

2015 VIP Shopping Event!



There was a rumor that there wouldn't be a VIP shopping event this year, however, the above images have been circulating the internet.  It sounds like there was a bit of a mix-up with the invitations this year and many people either did not get their invite, it was an invite to the wrong store, or there were misspellings on the names.  

Last year, I was invited and it was not as great as the previous years.  Sure, I did get a few free (small) sets, but there weren't any special discounts or sales.
