If you’re still looking for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), Walmart is now carrying the set online at retail price. As of this writing, there’s a max of two per customer and there’s free 2-day shipping. In addition, Amazon also has the set available at normal price. Prime members have free shipping on there as well.
The May/June 208 German flyer is now available and inside there’s a new promotional set that looks to be very interesting. From June 4-24 with purchases of 65€, you can get a free LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set which is a set based on Hans Christian Andersen and his stories. As you can see from the image above, it is a pop-up book build that shows Andersen writing a story outdoors on a cobblestone area. The other side of the book shows a water area with a white swan. This is presumably based on the popular fairy tale story, The Ugly Duckling.
There’s no word at this time whether or not this promotional set will be available here in the states. Maybe this set could be a hint to something we can also expect from LEGO Ideas. If you remember, the Pop-Up Book by JK Brickworks is currently under review on LEGO Ideas and this set could come out in conjunction with it as a gift-with-purchase set. This all depends on the Pop-Up Book coming out as the winner of the Third 2017 Review Stage but that announcement is still a long ways away. This is purely speculation by me but what are your guys’ thoughts about this little LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set?

When the LEGO Star Wars Black VIP card was announced, it was stated that there would be special promotions for card holders who purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) on the intial run. Fans have been wondering if they would ever get any promos or deals and it looks like there’s something coming next week during the May the 4th event.
There are now unconfirmed rumors that there will be a special sweepstakes for one of the platinum R2-D2 minifigures for Black VIP card holders. This comes from a reader who was told by LEGO store employees from their local store. I’m not sure of the legitimacy of this piece of news but if you’ve heard something similar, let us know in the comments below. Supposedly, there’s also a special blueprint poster of the UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) given out to card holders as well which I’ve heard from a few places.
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

The Flintstones by Andrew Clark is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features the Flintstones’ home but the main thing is the Flintstones’ car. It also proposes six minifigures: Fred, Flintstone, Wilma Flintstone, Pebbles Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Betty Rubble, and Bamm Bamm Rubble.

In addition to the official images and press release of the LEGO Creator Roller Coaster (10261) earlier today, LEGO has also sent over some videos of the set as well. One of the videos show the set in motion with some of the play features including using Power Functions on it to make the cars run automatically. The other video is just a simple stop-motion showing the cars going up and down the track. Check them both out below.
