As stated on the May 2017 LEGO Store Calendar, there will be some in-store events that will be held during the May the 4th promotion. Thanks to a reader, we now know what kind of events that will be going on that day. From what I’m told, there will be a speed building event for kids age 6-14 and the fastest builders will get the Darth Revan (5002123) minifgure polybag while all participants will get the Hoth Han Solo (5001621) minifigure polybag, while supplies last. As LEGO Star Wars collectors know by now, the Darth Revan minifigure is highly coveted and it’s cool that kids have a chance to get this minifigure again.
Thanks to Roger for the message.

So they still have Darth Revans, but sold out of them before I could even wake up to buy it last time they had a promotion.
Still salty.
And as anyone who is me would know, their local store did everything short of forcing Hoth Han polybags on anyone who walked past the store to get rid of their supply…only to have another shipment sent to them with no warning.
I mean, anytime they ran out of a promo, they’d offer to substitute a Hoth Han. When the mall did its annual promotion where kids can take a special coin around to certain stores and exchange it for a small item, they offered your choice of a random CMF, or a Hoth Han. After finally purging them from the store, someone in Enfield apparently noticed and figured they needed to be restocked.
Lego must have a weird sense of what polybags will be popular. I still find dozens of Chima polybags at Kmarts.
You still find K-Marts? I don’t think there are any left within 30 minutes of me. Even the very first K-Mart (which is a couple miles away) just closed earlier this year. Anyways, that sort of thing is up to the store chain’s purchasing agents to figure out. LEGO Brand Retail, however, is in-house, so the blame lies a lot closer to home.
Northeast Ohio / west Pennsylvania still has quite a lot of them, for some reason. It seems like Kmart is still doing okayish in this particular region
I’d be angry I’m older than 14, except for the fact that I managed to get a Revan last promotion.
I got *runs and checks* three, back when it was the standard May 4th promotion.
Send me one lol
