LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game - The Empire Strikes Back Character Pack

Earlier today, LEGO released another trailer for the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game but in this one, they snuck in something at the end of the video. It was revealed that if you pre-order the Deluxe Edition of the game, you’ll be getting early access to The Empire Strikes Back Character Pack. If you are a Amazon Prime member, you’ll be getting 20% off the game when you check out.

GameStop also has revealed their exclusive bonus for all systems with the Jabba’s Palace Character Pack which includes:

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order Stormtrooper (30602) Revealed as May the 4th 2016 Promo

LEGO Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper (30602) - May the 4th

If you missed my previous post of the LEGO May 2016 Store Calendar, the exclusive minifigure was revealed to be the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order Stormtrooper (30602). At first, the minifigure looks extremely close to the one found in the First Order Battle Pack (75132). The only difference is that the torso has a minor addition and a backpack. This version of the Stormtrooper looks to be Jakku version of the character but that could be debated.

Initial responses to the First Order Stormtrooper (30602) have been somewhat negative as many people are fine with the one that came in the Battle Pack. Since technically it is a new exclusive, albeit the small changes, polybag collectors will still probably want one however there could have been other better choices of characters. Do note that the threshold to get the minifigure for free is now $50 for 2016 instead of the $75 from previous years. Maybe LEGO is banking on people getting multiples of this polybag with the lower price.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens HISHE

March 22, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

If you haven’t seen it yet, the Brotherhood Workshop has teamed up with How It Should Have Ended on creating a HISHE for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in LEGO. The video was created for the 2016 SXSW Video Game Awards show this past Saturday.

I won’t say much about the video but some of the dialogue acknowledges some potential spoilers from The Force Awakens, if you haven’t seen it yet (still?!?). If you watch the credits, our friend Tommy Williamson from BrickNerd was also recognized for the project.
