LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles promo set

The LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles have been surrounded by quite a bit of mystery and fun-fare, the latest being the super special LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles promotional press kit/set that was sent to members of the press. I was out of town when this set first came to light, but I loved it instantly and definitely wanted to discuss it here to see what you think. First of all, the Yoda Chronicles promo kit came in this awesome box…

And here is a picture of the completed LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles promo set (photo by Andrew Clapman). I really like the curved walls of the Holocron Room. And since I’m a huge fan of translucent blue LEGO pieces, this is definitely eye-candy for me.

Jason from the BrickShow did a great job reviewing this set, so I will let him show you all the details, including the three minifigures and the Holocron Room from all angles. I actually really like the back of the structure too. Also, please note the LEGO Technic brick connection points that may indicate that this set may be able to connect to future releases. 🙄

Please note that in the video Jason refers to the New York event where the life-size LEGO Star Wars X-wing was revealed just a few days ago. I will probably write a separate post about it in the future as this is the largest LEGO model ever made and it’s quite amazing. Back to the LEGO Yoda Chronicles set, I wish it was released as a regular set instead of it being a rarity. If you do like it, and don’t mind spending serious money, you can pick one up on eBay.

Free shipping & other LEGO deals continue!

LEGO quietly decided to continue the free shipping deal all the way until the 15th of June for orders over $75. There was not much notification about this, so I thought to keep you updated in case you thought the deal was already over. Free shipping is always a welcome break, especially if you have a larger set in mind, so if you had something on your LEGO shopping list this is a good time to visit the Online LEGO Shop. 🙂

You will also get a free exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone set on purchases of $50 or more. No special coupon needed. The Fighting Drone will be automatically added to your shopping cart and will be there when you check out. This offer is available only through the Online LEGO Shop and LEGO Stores.

This is an excellent time to pick up one of the larger LEGO sets like the newly released Ultimate Collector Series #10240 LEGO Star Wars Red Five X-wing Starfighter or the #10232 LEGO Modular Palace Cinema, the latest in the LEGO Modular Building series.

And of course you can also take advantage of the free shipping offer on smaller sets that you like.

What do you think? Are you planning to pick up something during the free shipping period? Personally I’m waiting for the new LEGO Master Builder Academy kits, and the new LEGO Lord of the Rings sets – although I will probably pick those up locally. However for the LEGO exclusive sets the free shipping option is awesome as they are usually not available at local retailers. Let me know what you are getting in the comment section below! 😉
