Star Wars May the 4th Lego Specials Start Tonight

New calendar is up.

May 2016 LEGO Store Calendar

Tonight starts the LEGO May the 4th Star Wars Event.  To start with, you at least get 20% off most Star Wars items.  On top of that you get your Double VIP points on all Lego Star Wars products which ends up being a decent discount.  Based on discussions in the forum, it appears that many are starting to eye up the 75094 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium

  • Free shipping on all orders with no minimum.
  • Free 30602 First Order Stormtrooper (pictured above) with your order of $50 or more of LEGO Star Wars products.
  • Double VIP points on all LEGO Star Wars products.
  • Free LEGO-fied Star Wars The Force Awakens poster with all LEGO Star Wars purchases.

All offers are good from April 30th through May 4th while supplies last at all LEGO Brand Retail Stores and online at LEGO Shop@Home.

If you were lucky enough to get one of these invites below, you can get early access to a LEGO retail shop and hopefully get yourself one of those Limited run Space Slugs :)

    I know this may sound like crazy talk, but there are some people - we call them fans - who collect LEGO sets and actually build them. Some of them even have the audacity to keep their sets, and never

    Something like below should have been the May 4th mini / promo set (with or without the space slug). http://www.fbtb.net/2016/03/22/revel-in-the-beauty-that-is-marshal-bananas-falcon-diorama/

  • I met Jaisonline and another Brickpicker member at the early opening.  I yelled "reseller" when Jaisonline was checking out!   My son Max waiting to go in...

I think most here agree or hope AoH will be discounted at some point in the future.  I'm holding out...

Done 

Can anyone give me a pitch for the Sith Infiltrator?  It looks like a better build than the previous iteration, but the old version is still selling new on Ebay for $90.  I know the figures are different, but I'm really not sure where the new market comes from when this retires?  Thanks!

I am as well. I don't like it but I do see great potential with mocs.   

 

With that said watch this set go a unprecedented route and only be available for 1 production run and only at lego stores. Thus gaining big when all of us miss out on it.  Chances of this being a winner are slim but since I am passing on it my bad luck is in favor of this being a big big winner. 

Pro tip: if you want your polybag to ship buy something small (see Jor-el). The Chima and friends playmats are 75% off and ship in a giant box. If you are selling Lego, great box for other sets

Ready to go back home...

Is that poster a flip side of the TFA one or is it exclusive with the slug?

I can't stand store managers that think they own the store/company they work for.  Some of them think they can make up their own polices/rules/procedures, etc.  And they wonder why some customers end up calling corporate on them to set them straight, SMDH!

They had 2 Sandcrawlers out on the shelf so I grabbed one!  Got my space slug, stormtrooper polybag, and poster!

 

I tried to ask if I also bought an Assault on Hoth if they'd give me another Space Slug but they said they weren't allowed to, which is fair.

It did look better in person.  Still not UCS standards, but it looks decent.

Yeah it almost changed my mind but I got the Sandcrawler anyway since the odds are that will retire first.  

If I can cobble together some more money selling some old comics on eBay I may pop back in and pick this up during the double VIP points sale.  

I do think there's a good chance this gets discounted some day but I also buy into the argument that this will retire in record time

No Sandcrawlers in the Cheery Hill, NJ LEGO store.  Slave I sold out immediately.

Called my Lego store to see if they had any extra space slugs. They said they only got like 10 of em and had none left.

So just from what I was told at the store being that I was the ONLY person in for the slug set for the first 30 minutes and one of only 4 total invites this particular store gave out, this slug set will seem even much more rare at this point.  He said the store has a large number of resellers and because of that and because that's who asked for invites, they didn't get them and other likes me who called inquiring, he honored.  Good for him for cutting down.  Love it.  I was lucky to get one because I'm not a large reseller.  I buy one or two of things max ever.  I'm more a collector.  That said, perhaps now the 3500 number of slug sets will be much much less on the market.  Take this info for what's it's worth. 

So what happens to all of the ones that didn't get handed out? I saw my stores list and it only had 8 people. So what do they do with the other 20?

You must have been right behind me Ed.  I was with my wife getting out of the way of your picture.

Was able to get 2 Imperial Shuttles in store along with the Space Slug and the freebies.

Also got to meet @BoomBoomFlash and @sunkenbrick in store as well! @Nsheppard9101, maybe next time!

Our store was not as busy as I really expected it to be. Plus, as others have mentioned, Assault on Hoth looked better in person; I'm still waiting on it though.

Nice to meet you.  I knew everyone on that line looked like a reseller.  Bring the kids along as a front.  LOL

This was NOT just a store manager, he was much higher than that...not going into details.  Like I said, just what I was told.  He has every right to do what he wants and I applaud it.  If anyone is going to complain to corporate because you are labeled a reseller by the stores then just please take down my earlier post and this one.  No need for that.

No one is disputing what you were told.  Depending on his so-called position, he may be able to do whatever he wants if he has that type of clout in the company.  Store managers certainly cannot do whatever they want; corporate office sets policies for a reason.  But obviously you must know something the rest of us don't.

By the way, if you were one of the sellers that were not given an invite (especially if this was for VIPs or otherwise customers that typically spend a lot of money in the store and they suspect them of being resellers) you might not be so quick to applaud.

Hanging with Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen again eh? :lol:

Called around other local stores and none supposedly have any space slugs left. 9d28e165c8922f36d86cdc215cfc1c6a.jpg

Look at all you people, showing your reseller faces around Lego stores!  I sent my mom AND my kids, so my true identity remains just a VIP number (and my real name, and my address, and a credit card #...) :).  Anyone on here go to the STL store?
