LEGO Star Wars 2016 May the 4th Shopping Event Details

April 20, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 21 Comments

The 2016 LEGO Star Wars May the 4th shopping event is next week and LEGO has teased more details about the promotion. We already knew about the exclusive minifigure for this year with the First Order Stormtrooper (30602). It is available free with purchases of $50 or more on LEGO Star Wars products.

There is also the Double VIP Points on all LEGO Star Wars purchases which is always nice.

What we didn’t know about is the free LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens theatrical poster. The image is a direct recreation of the official poster using LEGO minifigures and builds. The only downside that I suspect about it is that it’ll be folded up. I’ve uploaded a clearer image of the poster from a postcard that I got in the mail which you can see below.

Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the headline set for May the 4th is the UCS Assault on Hoth. I’ll have my review on this particular set in a few weeks time.
