Each year LEGO fans – especially LEGO Star Wars fans – look forward to the month of May with great anticipation. May the 4th is official Star Wars Day (“May The 4th Be With You”), and LEGO joins the fun by offering new sets and promotions for LEGO Star Wars fans. And there is more than just Star Wars! See details below! 🙂
➡ LEGO STAR WARS OFFERS & PROMOTIONS: The brand new LEGO Ultimate Collector Series set to celebrate Star Wars Day is the #75095 LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter. This set is 1,685 pieces and features the classic Imperial starfighter, along with a display-stand. Prices are US $199.99 – CA $229.99 – DE 199.99€ – UK £169.99 – DK 1799.00 DKK (Euro pricing varies by country). See the designer-below for all the awesome details. Also, as we discussed a couple of days ago, between May 2-4, LEGO VIP members will have a chance to win 1 of 10 LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighters, signed by the owners of the LEGO Group. 😀
To commemorate the Star Wars Day, you can also get a free exclusive LEGO Star Wars Admiral Yularan minifigure with any LEGO Star Wars purchase of $75 or more. This offer is valid from May 2-4 only, so if you want this minifigure, make sure you get it during the promotional period. In addition you can get a free Star Wars Episode IV poster with any LEGO Star Wars purchase. And there will be select LEGO Star Wars sets on sale. So far only the UK announced which sets will be discounted, for other countries it is not yet known. In the UK the following sets will be 10% off from May 4-9: #10188 LEGO Star Wars Death Star, #10236 LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village, #10240 LEGO Star Wars Red Five X-wing Starfighter, #75052 LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina, #75054 LEGO Star Wars AT-AT, #75055 LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer, #75058 LEGO Star Wars MTT, #75059 LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler, #75085 LEGO Star Wars Hailfire Droid, #75086 LEGO Star Wars Battle Droid Troop Carrier, and #75087 LEGO Star Wars Anakin’s Custom Jedi Starfighter.

This offer will last between May 15th and 31st. You can find all the new LEGO Marvel sets under the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes section of the Online LEGO Shop.
➡ LEGO THE SIMPSONS NEW SETS: The #71016 LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart is now available for non-LEGO VIP members. We have talked abut this set several times (see links at the end of this post), so all I will say here is that it’s a winner that you should seriously consider getting, if you haven’t done so already. The second series of LEGO The Simpsons Collectible Minifigures is also available now. You can find them all under the LEGO The Simpsons section of the Online LEGO Shop.
➡ LEGO JURASSIC WORLD: While the new Jurassic World film won’t be released until mid-June, the LEGO sets related to the movie are already out! There are six sets in this theme, each including some awesome new dinos! We will talk about these sets more in detail shortly. You can find them all under the LEGO Jurassic World section of the Online LEGO Shop.
➡ LEGO CREATOR FERRIS WHEEL: LEGO VIP members will have early access to the #10247 LEGO Creator Ferris Wheel starting on May 13th, with a wider release on June 1st. This is a companion set to the previously released and very popular #10244 LEGO Creator Fairground Mixer. There are no official details on the set yet besides that it is 2,464 pieces with a price of US $199.99 – CA $229.99 – DE 179.99€ – UK £149.99 – DK 1499.00 DKK (Euro pricing varies by country.) Gorgeous, isn’t it?
To recap, the first few days of the month are focusing on LEGO Star Wars with special promotions and sales, as well as the new LEGO The Simpsons set and minifigures. Then from mid-month the LEGO Creator Ferris Wheel is going to be the cause of excitement. Also, in addition to the above mentioned promotions, don’t forget about all the exciting new sets that were released recently, including LEGO Pirates, LEGO Ultra Agents, LEGO Speed Champions and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. And if you are shopping online, it is worth taking a look at the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop before you check out. There are some nice sets there with a good discount, and likely more will be added as they get retired. If you live near an official LEGO store, there are other events you can participate in during the month. You can see the LEGO Store Calendar below for more details.
So what do you think? Are you excited about all the LEGO Star Wars offers? And what about the other new sets and promotions?

I have never seen a designer video with the graphic designer too.
Yeah, that was interesting. I have seen other videos too when more then one of the designers presented the set. I forgot which ones. I’m pretty sure they were Star Wars also.
Some of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit designer videos include multiple designers (e.g. Dol Guldur, Orthanc, etc).
Oh, yes, you are right! 🙂
Also the Jurassic World sets you can already buy on LEGO.com.
I already mentioned that in the article with a link. 😉
oh, I sped read. 🙄
I know. But watch out! A dino may bite you if you don’t pay attention!
I”m so excited for the Ferris Wheel!!! It looks great!!!! I loved the designer video of it. I love that they incorporated more unique torsos instead of using the usual ones.
Yeah, the Ferris Wheel is just stunning! I like everything; the colors, the size, the features… a really beautiful set. We will talk about it more in a few days. 🙂
aw, too bad I am going to the LEGO store (Maybe) this weekend. I am going to miss all of the sales! 🙁
Do we know when the sea diving sets are coming out?
Kim, those are the summer sets. They should be available in June or July.
Unless something good goes on sale over the weekend, I will be entirely skipping May’s promotions. (looking at you, Skyhopper) However, after reading the Brickset review of the UCS TIE Fighter, I suddenly want that set a lot more. Seeing as I missed 9492, that would be the perfect set to outmatch the Rebels…. 🙂
BTW, admin, in the Jurassic World paragraph, “We will talk … in detail shorty.” I think you missed an “l” there. 😉
Ah… but “shorty” was so cute! Thanks for catching that! 😛
I hope they have a free polybag for August because that’s when I’m defiantly spending over $75. I can’t turn down those Lego Marvel sets and Star Wars sets!
Somehow the ferris wheel slipped through the cracks. I’m not a big fan of city but thats now on my list 🙂
