New calendar is up.

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

That's what I was thinking as well (in terms of last year).
I'm really not that intrigued to buy sets at 20% off. Even with the double VIP kick back and promos. 
There's time to decide though.

This year's selection is better than last year's . Enough said

so does anyone remember is it midnight eastern tonight or three or four am ?

was thinking one year it ran a few hours late

It is midnight EST when the sale goes live. Then for 2 minutes everybody watches spinning wheels. Then the site goes down for 15 minutes, after which it comes up with errors in pricing, which then get fixed in the next 30 minutes, after which the buying frenzy starts and the first reports of "Mine is in warehouse!" "Mine got cancelled but I still have the freebie showing!" etc. show up.

Yes that may be true.  Personally I am all about the keychains!

I merged the other May the 4th topic with this one in case anyone is wondering where it went.

Thinking getting the battle of Takodano. What would be a good cheap filler to get the $50 threshold?

Personally I would go with the AT-AT or Snowspeeder microfighters or one of the TFA Battle Packs that are 20% off.

Free shipping on all orders I thought.

I read that somewhere too, but I didn't see it on the offer details. If so, I might just get a microfighter so I can get the poster. The kids dig them for their rooms.

Well, well, ain't that a surprise.

I think the FO Battle Pack is the best pair with the Takodana set

Free shipping on all orders, no?

Still takes $75 as far as I can tell.

I went ahead and copied all the content from Jeff's post to the first post in this thread.  That way you all know where it is and you don't have to back track to Jeff's post.

The press release here on Brickpicker and other affiliate sites specifically states that there will be free shipping on all orders with no minimum.  I'm pretty sure the flier I got in the mail yesterday said the same thing.

Yeah, I was actually surprised by he free shipping too. Was debating between the infiltrator and Takodana. No $75 threshold so I will probably go with the cheaper set and a throw in.

With free shipping I'm just going to cash in a few measly VIP points I have left and get a free small set and poster.

I think I have to grab the Infiltrator. One of my favorite movie vehicles when I was a kid and this version actually looks nice, minus the Maul.... Takodana is up there too but it would really only be for the minifigs. Starfighter is tempting, as I dugout my old one from 2001 recently and so much is missing from it. Lego isn't typically cool with multiple orders to grab extra promos are they?

Read the ban thread.  It seems to be arbitrary (and so every additional order is done at your own risk), but many of us place multiple orders during freebie promos and have no issues.

And the best advice given is "wait until your order is "In Warehouse" " before placing another order.

cant believe no one is excited about 20% off plus double vip plus Fig? Man.. for starwars its hard enough to find 20% let alone everything else on sets you actually want rather then the leftovers..

20% off every SW set would be exciting.

I just heard about the 50% off b-wing a couple days ago.....now this?! One of my biggest regrets was having a dark age and I didn't even know what it was.
