LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Review

May 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The largest set that LEGO has produced is the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) which comes in at a massive 7,541 pieces while costing a whopping $799.99. I’ve already done an unboxing on it so you can check it out if you want. With today being May the 4th, now is a very good time to finally release this review. First off, let me preface this review by saying sorry for the lateness of the review. My camera image data and part of the review got corrupted on my old laptop a few months ago and I’ve finally had time to rebuild and retype out what I’ve already done in between what was happening with Toys R Us and changing jobs. Things just weren’t going right the past few months.

In a very rare occurrence the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) is available on Shop@Home and you can even get double VIP points on it. Fans have been waiting for this opportunity and to justify a $800 purchase this is the perfect time to get it if you’ve been holding off. Plus you can even get the BB-8 polybag as a bonus but the real bonus is the 1600 VIP points that you can get for the purchase.

May 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

May the 4th is in full swing and to celebrate the event, LEGO has put something together that you can do in New York City if you’re nearby. LEGO Master Builders have built a Millennium Falcon pedicab using over 20,000 bricks and you can take a ride in it at Bryant Park today. Rides began at 9AM today and pickups are at 6th Ave between 40th and 41st. It will take a loop once around the park and the dropoffs will be at the same place. Each ride will last about 10 minutes.

LEGO has also partnered up with UNICEF and the Millennium Falcon pedicab will be used as a fundraiser. Every photo you take of it using the hashtags #LEGOStarWars and #RoarForChange, Lucasfilm and Star Wars: Force for Change will donate $1 to UNICEF. The fundraiser will run until May 25.

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card Holder May the 4th Promotions

May 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing Starfighter Blueprint (5005624)

If you’re a LEGO Black VIP card holder, you may have recently gotten an email of some of the promotions that will be happening during the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event this weekend. Thanks to my friend John, we now have confirmation of the promotions which include the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing Starfighter Blueprint (5005624) with a Star Wars purchase of $35 or more. There’s supposed to be a code to use at checkout and I’m not sure if they’re all unique or if the same for all Black card holders.

The other promotion is a 1/1 18 karat white gold R2-D2 minifigure with a certificate of authenticity. This promo is connected to your account so you’re already entered if you have the card and there’s no extra hoops to jump through.

– Free BB-8 (40288) with purchase of $75 or more.
– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.

LEGO Creative Storybook (40291) Closer Look

May 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you didn’t see it a few days ago, I posted about the June 2018 LEGO Store Calendar and the big promotion for the month is the LEGO Creative Storybook (40291). It will be free with a purchase of $99 or more from June 4-20, while supplies last, and it is basically in the style of a pop-up book based on Hans Christian Andersen and his fairy tale stories.

As I mentioned before, this promo set may be a teaser to a LEGO Ideas project that may turn out to become an official set later on but we’ll see. In the meantime, we can look forward to the Creative Storybook which shows a scene from The Ugly Duckling along with Andersen writing a story in an outdoor setting.
