LEGO Star Wars Death Star II Battle (40407) GWP Set Officially Revealed

LEGO servers have been updated to include official images of this year’s LEGO May the 4th promotional, gift-with-purchase (GWP) set. Earlier this week, it was revealed that LEGO will be throwing in a limited edition freebie in the form of the LEGO Star Wars Death Star II Battle (40407) as this year’s exclusive GWP set for LSW fans who will make their next LEGO Star Wars purchase on this grand sale day.

Valued at $14.99, the LEGO Star Wars Death Star II Battle (40407) comes in a similar diorama format like that from last year’s LEGO Star Wars Battle of Endor 20th Anniversary Edition (40362) set. Coming in at 235 pieces, this display piece takes its cue from Episode VI Return of the Jedi during the final encounter against the Imperial forces on board the incomplete Death Star II. The micro-build/diorama features a sort of a trench run between a Rebel A-Wing ship and a dreaded TIE Interceptor. The set will also come with its own exclusive 2×4 printed tile.

There is no particular mention of a price point required to obtain this set, but we can surmise that it will be probably the same as that of last year’s $75 qualifying purchase. Other than this freebie, LEGO is also bringing back its Double VIP points during this period, plus super sweet discounts on LEGO Star Wars sets and items. And if you’re eyeing for this year’s UCS set, then May the 4th is the best time to get the LEGO Star Wars UCS A-Wing Starfighter (75275) which will retail for $199.99.

So what do you think about this year’s LEGO Star Wars May the 4th gift-with-purchase set? Do you think it’s a great choice to celebrate the occasion? Do you have other famous and iconic Star Wars scenes that you want to be given the official LEGO treatment? Share us what you think in the comments below, and remember to always be safe.

LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2020 Promotions Revealed

Following the announcement of this year’s LEGO Star Wars UCS set in the form of the LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Starfighter (75275), LEGO has now revealed its LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2020 promotions.

Similar to previous years, the month of May will see a lot of tempting offers coming from the LEGO Star Wars theme which will include the usual LEGO Double VIP points and great discounts across LEGO Star Wars sets. However, given the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is highly likely that most LEGO fans around the world will opt for the LEGO Shop@Home experience.

One highlight of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotions is the inclusion of its exclusive gift-with-purchase (GWP) set. And according to insider info from Brick Fanatics, this year’s exclusive GWP will be the LEGO Star Wars Death Star II Battle (40407). Though we don’t have official images of this set as of posting, it is expected that this limited-edition set will feature a similar diorama format like that from last year’s LEGO Star Wars Battle of Endor 20th Anniversary Edition (40362) set. If you recall, this brick diorama was LEGO’s exclusive promotional freebie last year as part of its Triple Force Friday offers.

40362 3 — The LEGO Star Wars Battle of Endor 20th Anniversary Edition (40362) set was last year’s exclusive Triple Force Friday promotional set. How do you think this year’s limited-edition LEGO Star Wars gift-with-purchase set will look like?

This year’s LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2020 freebie will be added to your LEGO shopping cart once your LEGO Star Wars purchases reach $75 and above, same as that of previous offerings. Given the required price point for the LEGO Star Wars Death Star II Battle (40407), it is assumed that this set may also consist of around 170 to 200 pieces. Hopefully, we’ll have more info about this next promotional set once the May 2020 LEGO Store Calendar is published. For now, be sure to check this month’s latest LEGO Star Wars releases including the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Series, and the new LEGO Star Wars D-O (75278). Sets inspired by the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian are also available for pre-order: the LEGO BrickHeadz The Mandalorian & the Child (75317) and the LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (75292).

I wish that LEGO will also bring back some of its exclusive LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotional minifigures that come with a lower price requirement. We just have to wait and see. Be sure to stick around here at our blogsite for more updates.

Here’s a list of what treats to expect from LEGO on May the 4^th 2019:

Yeah, speaking of VIPs they’ll have a chance to double their point acquisition on particular items; so if that 2x-point LEGO SW set’s not yet in your collection, enjoy getting it for the points.

The LEGO Star Wars Battle of Hoth – 20^th Anniversary Edition (40333) Gift-With-Purchase Promo

For a minimum $35 total purchase of LEGO Star Wars stuff, customers will get a special Art Print for the line’s anniversary. And for at least $75, LEGO will throw in a free Battle of Hoth – 20th Anniversary Edition (40333) microscaled set in your shopping cart both online and in-store.

And of course, we can’t forget the LEGO Star Wars 20^th Anniversary sets – that are available now at LEGO Shop@Home, along with other LEGO-themed Star Wars merchandise from alarm clocks to minifigure key-chains. These at least you can start with right now, before May the 4^th arrives.

New LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244) Slated for May the 4th

While Star Wars fans are gearing up for the grandest fan event in the galaxy with Star Wars Celebration 2019, LEGO as it seems will not miss this opportunity to launch its newest LEGO Star Wars set. Similar to the release of 2017’s mammoth sized LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), LEGO is slated to release a special set that takes its cue from one of the first rebel ships that appeared in the film franchise. A redesigned set from 2009, the LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244) has now been revealed, with the first image of its box art now making its round over the internet and said to be released just in time for the May the 4th fan fare.

There is no official announcement from LEGO as of this posting, but from what we can surmise, the LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244) will come in 1,768 pieces and comes with new minifigures of Leia and Bail Organa, Captain Antilles, a Rebel Trooper, C-3PO and R2-D2. It is expected to retail for $199.99 USD. Though it is not expected to be a sort of UCS or a Master Builder set as shared by Promobricks, but is a good catch otherwise considering that the last time this iconic ship was given the LEGO treatment was 10 years ago.

Considering that Star Wars Celebration 2019 is now in full swing, we can probably expect more news about its release anytime soon. So what do you think about this new LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV set? Is it a good choice of a set for May the 4th? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
