will it be spending x dollars on star wars lego or just in general spending?

If it's for the May 4th promo it will be on Star Wars lego only.

So what would be a good Star Wars set to buy in order to get one of these? I haven't invested in Star Wars yet (I know, I know, it's one of the commandments), frankly there are too many sets and I don't know Star Wars well enough so I've steered clear of them. Also my name in lotrlegofan so, c'mon. Are any Star Wars sets that don't cost $250-300 worth investing in?

I don't know a thing about that character, all I know is I will be getting as many of that mini figure as I can.

Nice fig! Me too.

 

But I kinda hope it's not like the TC-14 (chrome droid) promotion where there seemed to be more and more of them showing up in LEGO stores for weeks/months after May 4th/5th. It seemed like LEGO was making more based on the high demand, to the point where there was glut of them on the market!

Wait 2x vip OR the minifig you say? Why not both.

Here is to hoping they start a tradition of having a UCS set on sale for $100 each year...

Amen, brother. I'll take a 50% off UCS any day over 20 polybags. Back on topic, I'm just happy we are getting something new that isn't another protocol droid or a redressed minifigure. Han, I'm talking to you. 

Whether it is s coincidence of not, this weekend is Star Wars Days at Legoland Carlsbad California. Not sure, what freebies they will hand out.

If it's like year's past, it was usually a Duplo brick with the dates of the Weekend. Sometimes a poster. Lots of photo ops with members of the 501st.

Il be there, so I'll post pics and details.

Sweet fig. You shall be mine.

Too many damn remakes, makes my head spin

Makes me want to go on Steam and purchase the first KOTOR game.

I'm so excited. When would we officially know?

I like R2-D2 as a can't lost set that isn't $200+

As I said I am already willing to buy 4 of those if someone needs a pre-prepared selling :P  

I'll just wait until it shows up at TRU a couple of months later by the MILLIONS.

I remember playing that game, it was great, your choices affected your path and your powers.  As someone said, you played this character correct?  I don't ever remember seeing what he looked like.

That is simply a kickass awesome minifigure whether or not you actually know the character or the game he is from, period.

I'm holding out for Darth Tater.

Already did that years ago.

Mr poll man (TOK) how about a poll for how quickly will this poly OOS at S @ H ? I say 40 hours ;)

A betting pool, eh? Sounds like fun. Alrighty then, I added one to the thread based on hourly increments. Go crazy folks. :)

Is this official for May 4th?

We don't know that for sure. It's just an estimated guess right now.

That's why I think they will NEVER run out.

R2-D2. It is only $179.99! Way less than $250 to $350.

I fixed the title to match because it has finally been confirmed this is the "May the 4th" promotional minifigure! It will be available from May 3 to 5 with the purchase of $75 or more on Lego Star Wars sets. With that said, anyone who voted "More than three days" may want to vote for another option.

Interesting. Any educated guesses as to the secondary market value of this? I predict an initial price point of $20-$25, then upwards. Pretty great fig, and I`m not even a SW fan, that`s saying something
