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

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

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.

It looks like the LEGO Party Banana Juice Bar (5005250) set that was found in LEGOLAND Billund last week has found its way to the US. LEGOLAND California now it as a gift with purchase for annual passholders for spending $35 or more. As you can see, it’s another Banana Suit Guy with an orange boombox. The design of the box is a juice bar hut that would fit into a summer theme which I assume will be released on LEGO Shop@Home.

LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358) Promotion Live on Shop@Home

March 31, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358) promotion is now live on LEGO Shop@Home. From now until April 15, you can get it for free with purchase of $75 or more, while supplies last. Like with the 40 Years of the Brick promotion, I have a feeling that this promo will sell out fairly quickly.

The set comes with a LEGO designer minifigure along with some microfigures of the Classic Policeman, Pirate, Spaceman, P.I.X.A.L., and a Nurse. There’s also some parts for the design table and it uses the box itself as a layout.

To help you reach the $75 threshold, LEGO has released some new products including Go Brick Me (41597), the Avengers: Infinity War LEGO BrickHeadz, and the Series 18 Collectible Minifigures (71021).
