If you’ve seen this post appear in your feed right now, chances are, you still have a few hours left to take part in LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promos. As of publishing time, the Double VIP points are still up for all LEGO Star Wars purchases, including the Tatooine Homestead (40451) micro-build freebie if your LEGO Star Wars purchase reaches $85 and more. For those who will opt to make their in-store purchases, LEGO is throwing in another promo at a lower price point. For every single-receipt in-store purchase of any LEGO Star Wars products $40 and up, you’ll receive a free Imperial Shuttle (30388) polybag.
The LEGO Star Wars Tatooine Homestead (40451) is one of this year’s May the 4th promos.You can get the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (30388) polybag for free when your in-store LSW purchase reaches $40 and up.
However, since this is our last stretch for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promo, expect that some of the more premium LEGO sets are already on backorder or sold-out status. This is the case for the popular Helmet Collection and the new UCS R2-D2 (75308) set.
Some of the LEGO Star Wars Helmets are now on backorder status.
Nevertheless, there is still a ton of LEGO Star Wars sets to choose from, and taking a look over at LEGO Shop@Home might lead you to that one LSW set that you are looking for.
Just in time with the announcement of the new LEGO Star Wars UCS R2-D2 (75308) set, LEGO has also unveiled its 2021 May the 4th promotions and other pretty cool freebies. And similar to previous years’ promo, LEGO is now giving another iconic Star Wars scene a microscaled, diorama rendition. Aside from its cool selection of LEGO Star Wars sets up for grabs, LEGO Shop@Home has now been updated to include several of its May the 4th promotions which will be made available starting May 1st.
Free LEGO Star Wars Tatooine Homestead (40451)
Similar to its diorama predecessors such as 2020’s Death Star II Battle (40407) and 2019’s Battle of Hoth – 20th Anniversary Edition (40333), the Tatooine Homestead (40451) features a microscaled version of Luke Skywalker’s beginnings in his home planet of Tatooine. This miniature vignette depicts the Lars family home, a Landspeeder, a Sandcrawler with the desert dunes of Tatooine on its background, and the year 2021 featured on the center. This May the 4th promotional will be added to your cart for free for every single receipt LEGO Star Wars purchases made between May 1 to 5 worth $85 and above.
Free LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (30388) Polybag
As an in-store freebie, LEGO is throwing in this LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (30388) polybag for fans who will opt to visit and purchase at their nearest LEGO Store from May 1 to 5. This polybag will be added to your cart for free for every single-receipt LEGO Star Wars purchase worth $40 or more.
LEGO Star Wars Dutch Vander Minifigure VIP Sweepstakes
LEGO is also throwing in another minifigure as part of its LEGO VIP sweepstakes promo running from May 1 to 21, 2021. For a certain number of LEGO VIP points, you can have a chance of winning a LEGO Star Wars Dutch Vander minifigure. This comes encased in a collectible acrylic case together with a signed photo of Canadian actor Angus MacInnes who played the iconic role of Rebel Squadron Gold Leader Jon “Dutch” Vander. With regards to the minifigure, I really can’t say if it’s an entirely new minifig version of the Gold Leader since its looks very much the same as that of the exclusive minifigure that came with the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-wing Starfighter (75181) from 2018.
Aside from these c0llectible freebies, we can also expect the usual LEGO Double VIP points for LEGO Star Wars purchases made from May 1 to 5. And if you want to maximize those valuable points, then you may want to consider adding to your must-have list these upcoming sets such as the LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (75308), Imperial Probe Droid (75306), and Darth Vader (75304), and Scout Trooper (75305) Helmets.
Be sure to stay tuned for more May the 4th updates and promos. So what are you most excited about the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotions? Let us know in the comments below.
After giving us a glimpse and a teaser of some sort last month, LEGO has finally confirmed that the galaxy’s most lovable droid is now given a fresh, new brick-built upgrade. LEGO has officially announced the new LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (75308), scheduled to arrive on May 1, 2021.
Coming in at 2,314 pieces, the LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 is not just a re-release but an entirely new and larger UCS version different from that of its 2012 predecessor. This latest rendition also features a commemorative Lucasfilm 50th anniversary printed brick adding to its premium look and feel. The set is currently listed over at LEGO Shop@Home and is expected to retail for $200 once it is made available on May 1st. Read on for the complete product description, and you can add this to your LEGO wishlist as well by clicking on the LEGO affiliate link below.

I guess we have to wait a little longer for this one. In a not-so-very-surprising turn of events, it looks like the much anticipated LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video game will be delayed once again. And of course, we can’t blame game developer TT Games for this pandemic-stricken situation.
After almost a year when news came out of a possible August 2020 release date, it seems that the journey from studio to console will have to wait a tad longer. The announcement came via TT Games’ official Twitter account which you can see below:
It is reasonable to assume that the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is now in its final development stages. But since this pandemic has gotten a lot of projects derailed in the video game industry, it is clearly forgivable that delays like this are bound to happen. We’re not just sure yet where exactly this video game stands in terms of releasing, whether it is still being polished with the possible inclusion of an upcoming Star Wars The Bad Batch tie-in, or it’s a matter of logistical issues.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is hailed to be THE largest, galaxy-spanning Star Wars video game that LEGO has ever come up with. And with every known major LEGO Star Wars character reportedly coming to the game as a playable avatar set in a massive open world in a galaxy far away, the potential and excitement for this game are very much expected. This game also comes in a Deluxe Edition which you can find over at Amazon and will be available for all major consoles and the PC via Steam.
Are you planning to get this game despite of its delays? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Eagle-eyed LEGO fans were quick to take notice of what seems to be a new LEGO Star Wars UCS R2-D2 set included in a promotional video intended for its recently announced LEGO Imperial Probe Droid (75306).
The now-deleted video puts the spotlight on the brick-built sculpture of the Imperial Probe Droid while having a sizeable R2-D2 peeking under the table. And because the said video has been deleted, it goes to show that someone from LEGO is certainly doing some sort of damage control.
Peek-a-boo, I see you R2!
As you can see from the above screenshot, this version of R2 looks to be a brand new model, significantly different from its predecessor, the LEGO Star Wars UCS R2-D2 (10225) released in 2012. The newer version uses several curved slopes and plates giving it a more sleek and smooth look. And if what Promobricks’ sources tell us turns out to be true, then we can expect this to be part of this year’s line-up of LEGO Star Wars May the 4th releases.
A UCS LEGO Star Wars version of R2-D2 was first released back in 2012. Are we going to see another rendition in 2021?
Please bear in mind that at its best, these are just speculations, and it’s always prudent to wait for LEGO’s official announcements and press release. I’ll keep this post updated once additional information comes in.
So what do you think of this possible new LEGO Star Wars UCS set? Do you think it’s long overdue? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Following the release of two additional sets in the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection, we now have another building set that takes its inspiration from the days of The Empire Strikes Back. The LEGO Star Wars Imperial Probe Droid (75306) is now available for pre-order and is slated to be released on April 26.
Though the Imperial Probe Droid was given a substantial amount of LEGO treatment throughout the years since 2007, this is the first time that it is getting an impressive brick-built sculpture. Standing in at 10.5 inches, the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Probe Droid (75306) comes in at 683 pieces retailing for $59.99. It also features an information plaque similar to previous 18+ sets and those from the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collection Series (UCS). The set is mounted on a clear display pole on top of a snowy scene reminiscent of the icy planet of Hoth.

After its initial launch in March of last year, LEGO has now added more Instagram-worthy sets under its LEGO Star Wars Helmets collection. And this time around, the Empire is getting another boost with the introduction of the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Helmet (75304), and the Scout Trooper Helmet (75305).
These latest additions to the LEGO Star Wars Helmets feature some of the most iconic figures in Star Wars lore. This most recent version of the Sith Lord is by far his largest brick sculpture to date. If you recall back in 2019, LEGO has also released a Target-exclusive LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Bust (75227) as part of LEGO’s promotional event in celebrating LEGO Star Wars’ 20th anniversary. However, this year’s offering c0mes with almost 3 times the number of LEGO pieces compared to its predecessor.
Additionally, the LEGO Star Wars Scout Trooper Helmet (75305) comes as the third Imperial-inspired set among the LEGO Star Wars Helmet collection, following that of the Stormtrooper Helmet (75276) and TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet (75274). It will be great if LEGO will also come up with a Rebel Pilot Helmet of some sort to balance things out. We just have to wait and see.

In case you missed it, here’s what we know so far about the LEGO licensed sets expected for the second half of this year or H2 2021.
Just a disclaimer – this listing is based on several trusted sources from the LEGO fan community, and eventually compiled by Pricevortex. And though Pricevortex’s predictions are almost 100% correct most of the time, we should always take these things with a grain of salt. Let’s take a look.

Since some of these next LEGO licensed sets are expected to arrive in stores as early as June, it’s most likely that LEGO will make their official announcements about these sets in late March or early June. I’ll keep you posted once more info goes out.
Back in October last year, we published an exhaustive list of LEGO 2021 sets that are expected to be available sometime in the first quarter of this year. And this time around, just in case you missed it, Brickset has updated its database to now include three upcoming LEGO Star Wars 2021 sets slated for a March release.
Additionally, Hoth Bricks have also mentioned that some online third-party retailers, particularly Bulgarian online store Comsed, has begun publishing some of these LEGO Star Wars 2021 sets but later removed the listing from their shopping portal.
Here’s a quick look at three of these LSW offerings.
LEGO Star Wars 4+ Resistance X-wing Starfighter (75297)
60 pieces | $19.99
LEGO Star Wars Tauntaun vs. AT-AT Microfighters (75298)
205 pieces | $19.99
LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (75302)
660 pieces | $79.99
These LEGO Star Wars 2021 sets are still yet to appear over at LEGO Shop@Home, but seeing them being posted early by other retailers is an indication that we might get to officially see them any time soon. I am also looking forward to seeing this year’s LEGO Star Wars UCS set (75303) and another LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian set (75299) that are rumored to be released in the first half of this year. I’ll be updating this post once more information comes in.
