LEGO Announces Plans for STAR WARS Day Celebrations
LEGO recently announced some of their plans to celebrate Star Wars Day, May 4. Well, in reality, they’ll be celebrating May 1-7, so you get a full week of Star Wars goodness. There are a fair number of items that will be released like dioramas of the Endor Speeder Chase (affiliate link) and Emperor’s Throne Room (affiliate link), the Pirate Snub Fighter (affiliate link), and Executor Super Star Destroyer (affiliate link). However, the main attraction will be a new Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing Starfighter (affiliate link).
This Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing (model #75355) set will retail for $239.99 and has a total of 1,949 pieces plus 2 minifigures. You’ll be able to build an X-Wing with an opening cockpit, space for the R2-D2 droid figure, and adjustable wings for flight mode and attack mode. The wings adjust via a dial on top of the X-Wing. The finished model measures at approximately 11” high, 18” wide, and 22” deep.
In addition, during the window of May 1-7, buyers from LEGO’s online store can qualify for some freebies. On purchases over $40, you’ll be able to get the X-Wing Starfighter (model #30654). If you spend over $150, you’ll score the Death Star II (model #40591). Finally, LEGO VIPs will get a Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 40th Collectible with purchases over $85. VIP shoppers will also earn double VIP points on select LEGO Star Wars sets.
If you can’t wait for next week, you can get started on your LEGO Star Wars shopping with other items like the Millennium Falcon (affiliate link) and AT-AT (affiliate link). What are you excited to build?
