LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) May the 4th Promotion Clarification

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

Next week is the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event and there’s some clarification of the availability of the BB-8 (40288) polybag on the Shop@Home header. If you’ve received the spring catalog, the flyer for the promotion shows that the BB-8 polybag was only available on May 4. According to Shop@Home, the promo will now run through the whole weekend, while supplies last, which is good because not everyone may have time to do their shopping on that specific day and will be happy to know that they have some time to make their purchases. Some of the other promotions during the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event include:

– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.
– Select sale items.
– Porg in-store Make and Take build

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) Polybag Review

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

Next week is the start of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 event and the main item during the promotion is the BB-8 (40288) polybag. It consists of 48 pieces and you can get it on May 4th only with a purchase of $75 or more while supplies last.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

BB-8 is in the same scale as the R2-D2 from last year. The build is fairly simple and the base of it uses a basic cube technique. It also relies on five printed 4×4 dishes for the design of the body which is good.

The bottom dish is attached to some plates which connects to the bottom of the cube while having a Technic joint to attach the head to.

As for the head, it is also printed and uses the same dome piece as R2-D2 but with BB-8 design. As I said before, it attaches to the body using a Technic pin and the joint allows it to wobble. This is an easy technique but is also very effective as it simulates BB-8’s head movement.

One thing I don’t like about this build is the use of the dish on the bottom. Because there’s a stud on it, BB-8 has a tendency to tip over very frequently but he’s fine if you gently set him down.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag is a decent one that fits nicely to last year’s build. I also understand that some fans prefer the exclusive minifigures much more than the builds. The scale of BB-8 … Continue

There are various reports that the new LEGO Star Wars Solo sets have started to show up at various Walmart stores including the new Kessel Run Millennium Falcon. Also found there was the non-Solo themed sets with Yoda’s Hut.

The new LEGO catalogs have started to show up in mailboxes and it shows some of the promotions we can expect to see during the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event that is happening from May 4-6.

LEGO Star Wars May the 4th BB-8 Promotion Rumor

We’re already a few days into April but you may have noticed that there’s no May 2018 LEGO Store Calendar that I usually report on at the beginning of the month. That’s because LEGO is keeping it under wraps for now for surprise promotions for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event however there are already rumors of what one of the promotions will be. Word has it that BB-8 may be the polybag that will be given out as a gift with purchase and the size would be similar to R2-D2 (30611) from last year. The build would be similar to the BB-8 from the Bricktober 2017 event last year but with printed parts. Stay tuned as we get closer to May for any reveals.
