LEGO is marketing as planned from today some new additions to the LEGO Star Wars and Marvel Super Heroes ranges on its official online store and the usual dilemma is in place a few days before the start of the annual operation. May the 4th : should you fall for one or more of the four new LEGO Star Wars references available without delay and skip the promotional offers announced or risk waiting until May 1st with the possibility of a stock shortage on these products when the operation is launched? It's up to you, as far as I'm concerned, I'll give it a shot and wait for May 1st.

Those who crack today can console themselves by getting a copy of the LEGO Ideas set 40487 Sailboat Adventure currently offered from 150 € purchase without restriction of range.

You can imagine that we will once again celebrate May the 4th as it should be via a small series of contests of which I am offering you a taste today with the entry into play of a copy of the LEGO Star Wars set 75326 Boba Fett's Throne Room. In this box of 732 pieces sold at the public price of 99.99 € and inspired by the series The Book of Boba Fett: enough to assemble a small modular palace with a few features and seven minifigs.

To validate your participation and try to add this palace, which changes owners very regularly, to your shelves at a lower cost, simply identify yourself via the interface below and follow the instructions provided. As usual, it is a question of finding information on the official online store and then answering the question correctly. At the end of the participation phase, the winner will be chosen by lot from the correct answers.

Your contact details (name / nickname, email address, IP) are only used within the framework of this competition and will not be kept beyond the drawing of lots which will designate the winner. As usual, this no-obligation competition is open to all residents of mainland France, DOM & TOM, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

The prize is provided by LEGO, it will be sent to the winner by me as soon as his contact details are confirmed by return email.

As always, I reserve the right to disqualify any participant who has attempted to defraud or hijack the entry system in order to increase their chances of winning. Hateful and bad losers to abstain, the others will have more chances to win.

Good luck to everyone !

No participation via comments, I leave the form open as long as the competitors who cannot read are not there yet. Then we close.

As announced by LEGO when the products derived from the animated film Buzz Lightyear (Lightyear) were put online on the official online store at the end of March, the four planned sets are now available for sale.

There are in these boxes of pretty minifigs to add to our collections and the ship of the set 76832 XL-15 Spaceship should appeal to fans of the Classic Space universe with its new yellow canopy and its look of Viper straight out of the Battlestar Galactica series. For the rest, these are products for children and we must not therefore be too demanding on the content of these products derived from the animated film expected for the month of June 2022.

LEGO LIGHTYEAR NEWS ON THE LEGO SHOP >>

Today we are quickly interested in the LEGO Star Wars set 40531 Lars Family Homestead Kitchen, a small box of 195 pieces which will be offered from 160 € of purchase from May 1 to 8, 2022 on the official online store and in LEGO Stores during the operation May the 4th.

The subject treated is a little surprising, it is a partial representation of the underground kitchen of the farm of Owen Lars and Beru Whitesun Lars. We can wonder about the interest of reproducing part of the kitchen in question in LEGO bricks, but the most assiduous fans will perhaps find their account with a scene which at least has the merit of being new and original.

The assembly of the half-kitchen only takes a few minutes but there are some well-thought-out techniques in the arrangement of the vertical cupboards and the perforated counter. For the rest, it is of no great interest, the ground remains in visible studs and the back of the construction does not hide any surprises. Some accessories are provided including an unpad-printed milk carton and a micro landspeeder which refers to that of the set Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) 75341 Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder which will be available from May 1st.

Those who are interested in the promotional offer which will allow them to obtain this small box will undoubtedly find the necessary motivation thanks to the presence of a new minifig, that of Beru Whitesun Lars. This figurine is in fact unpublished by what it represents more than by the elements which compose it: The neutral skirt in Medium Dark Flesh is that of Molly Weasley in the LEGO Harry Potter set 75980 Attack on the Burrow marketed since 2020 and the head with the two facial expressions is also that of Helga Hufflepuff, Mrs Flume and Molly Weasley.

There remains the new torso which is rather successful even if the color of the garment under the blue vest does not really match the bottom of the outfit. The set is quite faithful to the version of the character seen on screen but I find the facial features far too drawn and tense. Looks like Beru is either annoyed or pissed off. I also note a shift in the pad printing of the white pupil on one of the faces, it's a shame.

Collectors who accumulate figurines belonging to the Star Wars universe will inevitably find something to fill a box in their frames or their showcases, but this kitchen does not seem to me to be an essential exhibition product to which it will be necessary to give pride of place on an already cluttered shelf. Many will be satisfied with it since it is a free product (subject to purchase), some will not even open it to resell it later and amortize part of their purchases.

The scene did not deserve to end up as a classic product of the Star Wars range, its status as a wink disguised as a promotional product makes it almost desirable even if in the end it is only two white walls and some accessories. A wink that will still require spending at least €160 on products from the LEGO Star Wars range and paying for them at their usual retail price. As usual, it's up to you.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at 2th May 2022 next at 23:59 p.m. Just post a comment under the article to participate.

Update : The winner was drawn and notified by email, his nickname is indicated below.
