We already know a little more about the offers planned for the annual May the 4th event at LEGO this year. No polybag with exclusive minifig, this year LEGO continues to decline some scenes from the saga in the format microscale with a new reference titled Death Star II Battle (ref. LEGO 40407) who will join the sets 40333 Battle of Hoth (set offered during the May the 4th operation in 2019) and 40362 Battle of Endor (set offered during Triple Force Friday in October 2019). This new set will be offered from € 75 purchase of products from the LEGO Star Wars range from May 1 to 4, 2020.

In addition to this promotional offer, please note that throughout the duration of the operation, VIP points will be doubled on sets in the LEGO Star Wars range and that some boxes in the range will benefit from an additional reduction on their public price. No visual of the promotional set or list of boxes that will benefit from a reduction for the moment.

We'll talk about these deals again in due course, but at least now you know what to expect in early May.

The big LEGO announcement of the day is the presentation of the LEGO Star Wars 75275 A-Wing Starfighter set, a large box of 1673 pieces that joins the range Ultimate Collector Series by taking advantage of the packaging to match that of other upcoming sets intended for adult fans (75274 Tie Fighter Pilot Helmet, 75276 Stormtrooper Helmet et 75277 Boba Fett Helmet).

This is not a remake or reinterpretation of an existing product, it is the first LEGO A-Wing RZ-1 Interceptor in UCS version. Until now we had to be content with the less ambitious and more or less successful versions seen in the sets 7134 A-Wing Fighter (2000) 6207 A-Wing Fighter (2006) 75003 A-Wing Starfighter (2013) 75175 A-Wing Starfighter (2017) or 75247 Rebel A-Wing Starfighter (2019)

We are promised an assembly experience that meets the expectations of the most demanding adult fans and you should be able to find a place on your shelves for this A-Wing in UCS version with reasonable dimensions: 42 cm long, 26 cm wide and 27 cm high presentation stand included.

The set also makes it possible to obtain a minifigure: a new generic pilot, which you could also call Arvel Crynyd, a presentation plate with some technical specifications of the ship (I would have put a "s" at "System") and we note that the canopy of the cockpit is an original piece specially designed for this version of the ship.

The public price of this large box is announced at 199.99 € for France and Belgium, 209.00 CHF in Switzerland. Availability from May 1, 2020 on the official online store.

We will talk about this box again very soon on the occasion of a "Review ".

THE SET IN BELGIUM >> THE SET IN SWITZERLAND >>

LEGO is re-ordering the LEGO Super Mario set 71360 Adventures with Mario, but without the expansion pack 40414 Monty Mole & Super Mushroom Expansion Set offered at initial product launch. It is therefore necessary to pay 59.99 € to afford this starter pack alone but essential to be able to take advantage of the LEGO Super Mario ecosystem which will be gradually expanded through numerous extensions.

Frankly, it makes more sense to me to pre-order the set from one of the dealers who currently have a combined offer with the small polybag. 30385 Super Mushroom Surprise Expansion Set offered at no additional cost (see this article).

If you only buy your LEGO products from LEGO because the real LEGO products are found at LEGO:

We're talking about the LEGO Star Wars set again 75278 D-0, a 2020 novelty officially presented during the last New York Toy Fair and which is now available for 74.99 € at Fnac.com while the product is still not listed on the official French online store.

For those who still wonder, this is not a droid capable of moving, the proposed construction is an exhibition model whose only functionality will be to turn the head of the little robot on it even and tilt it.

For the rest, the droid measures 28 cm high including support and it is accompanied by a figurine and a presentation plate without much interest as was already the case for other sets of the same type (75187BB-8, 75230 Porg) already on the market. The droid is therefore not to the scale of the version seen on the screen, presented as 30cm high on the "information" plate.

According to FNAC, the product is in stock and available immediately. Express delivery is offered.

Update : the product is no longer listed online on FNAC.com. LEGO probably asked the sign to remove it.

LEGO had promised to expand the awards catalog offered to members of the VIP program who prefer to exchange their points for a small gift rather than to take advantage of a reduction voucher to be used on a future purchase and the manufacturer takes a first step by adding a few "physical" products: key chains LEGO Star Wars BB-9E (LEGO ref. 853770), Star Destroyer (LEGO ref. 853767) and Landspeeder (LEGO ref. 853768) and the Brick Suit Guy keychain (LEGO ref. 853903).

You must redeem 500 (equiv. 3.34 €) or 550 points (equiv. 3.67 €) to obtain the code that allows you to add the chosen gift to your order. Knowing that these key rings were sold for € 4.99, you will save a little more than one euro per reference. Attention, you will have to generate the code via the dedicated interface then place an order online to be able to use the code provided and take advantage of the product "offered" in exchange for your precious points.

Otherwise, on April 10, you probably received an email offering you to participate in a raffle, in exchange for 50 VIP points per participation ticket, with a Maz Kanata minifigure signed by Arti Shah (the motion capture liner by actress Lupita Nyong'o) and locked in a UKG box with the grade "Gold" (a certification scale of collector products) to be won. The minifig is not exclusive, it is the one from the LEGO Star Wars set 75139 Battle on Takodana marketed in 2016.

Do not waste your time looking for where is the interface for participating in this raffle, it is still not online on the French version of the VIP rewards center ...
