Seen on flickr (photo posted by Legocollecter123), the entire US Store Calendar for May 2013 (without the back for the moment).

We therefore find the two usual operations of the month of May with this year Han Solo (Hoth) in polybag offered on May 4 and 5, which succeeds the Chrome TC-14 of 2012, the polybag 30167 Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone offered from May 16 to 31, theHolocron Droid and its silkscreened dish which finally comes in addition to the Monthly Mini Build, the broadcast in the USA of the first episode of The Yoda Chronicles on Cartoon Network on May 29 and a mention that the set 10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter will be available for sale starting May 4.

2013 Monthly Mini Build - May 2013 - Holocron Droid

We continue to analyze the visual of the US Store Calendar of May 2013 published on flickr with this info about the "Monthly Mini Build"of May which is a"Holocron Droid"from The Yoda Chronicles universe.

It is indeed the little droid seen in the trailer for the mini-series which brings Yoda the files containing the stories he will tell to the young Padawans in training.

The pieces needed to build this mini-set are as usual offered by LEGO to children aged 6 to 14 (younger children must be accompanied by an adult) who come to participate in the operation.

Please note, the info is published on the US Store Calendar, nothing says that the two French LEGO Stores of So Ouest and Euralille will offer this operation.

If this is the case, the instructions will be posted on this page of the French LEGO site.

It's an info that is not really an info, but still deserves a few lines ...

In short, Marcos Bessa, LEGO Designer by trade, books on his flickr gallery a teasing about one of the sets he worked on and which is due out later this year: "... A "little" something I've created recently ... Coming later this year! ..."

As shown in the screenshot uploaded by the designer of many sets from the Super Heroes range (6860 The Batcave, for example) and in particular of the set 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout, this is a collector's set from the 10xxx series for which Marcos Bessa recorded a presentation video, as is always the case with exclusive big sets or UCS sets.

Marcos Bessa also specifies in comment that this is a set for a theme on which he has never worked until now: "... It's a theme I've never worked on before! ;) ...".

From there to think that it is the set 10237 Orthanc, planned this year, it is only one step which many fans are eager to take. Wait and see ...

30167 Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone

Sorry to post you here a partial image which has no priori any interest.

And yet, on closer inspection, we can see on this partial visual of the LEGO Store Calendar US from May 2013 that the LEGO Super Heroes polybag 30167 Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone will be available in the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Store from May 16 and likely until May 31, 2013 as this was the case in 2012 with the polybag containing the Hulk minifig.

If you were (much like me) desperately looking for this polybag and didn't plan to buy anything from the LEGO Shop in May, wait a few more weeks before you get it on Bricklink or eBay.

This polybag currently sold more than 35 € on Bricklink  et 60 € on eBay1?ff3=9&pub=5575046059&toolid=10001&campid=5337309211&customid=&uq=LEGO+30167&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER] should see its price drop significantly from the launch of the promotion. 

The minifig offered is not new or exclusive, it is the version of Iron Man present in the set 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape released in 2012.
