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. As I stated before, LEGO has not revealed the May 2018 Store Calendar to keep the promotions a secret but the cat is out of the bag now. Let’s go over the promos, shall we?

As you can see from the image above provided to me by Jeff on Twitter, the main promotion is the LEGO Star Wars Mini BB-8 polybag with a purchase of $75 or more on May 4th only. This is the building version of the character which is similar to what we got last year with R2-D2.

We can also get Double VIP Points during the whole promotional period which is expected.

There will be select LEGO Star Wars items on sale at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home including Kylo Ren’s TIE Fighter.

Finally, the recently revealed UCS Y-Wing (75181) will be available for purchase for $199.99.

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.
