At Star Wars Celebration 2019, LEGO has officially revealed the next LEGO Star Wars direct-to-consumer set with the Tantive IV (75244). Although not labeled an Ultimate Collectors Series set, it could very well be one as it comes in at 1,768 pieces and retailing for $199.99. It will be available starting on May 3 which is the start of LEGO’s May the 4th promotions so there will most likely be a gift-with-purchase bonus during that weekend.

LEGO Star Wars Celebration 2019 Darth Vader Bust (75227) Update

April 11, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A majority of us were waiting for the release of the LEGO Star Wars Celebration 2019 Darth Vader Bust (75227) on Target today but it never happened and we were left scratching our heads on when it would drop. I’ve had a ton of messages today asking when but I didn’t have any answers until now. According to Rebelscum, the set has been delayed until Monday, April 15 but no specific time was mentioned. It will still be a Target REDcard exclusive so you still have some time to sign up if you don’t have it yet.

The set seems to be a very hot commodity early on as it is going for well over $100+ on the secondary market. I’ll try to do a post when it becomes available next week but if I don’t have time, make sure to follow my Facebook or Twitter as I will definitely post on there.

LEGO Star Wars Imperial Dropship – 20th Anniversary Edition (75262) Review

April 7, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Continuing with my reviews of the LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition sets, the next one I’ll be checking out is the Imperial Dropship (75262). It has 125 pieces and retails for $19.99 and from what I’ve heard, it is one of the more anticipated sets of this wave simply because it is an army building set. It is a recreation of the 7667 version of the same name from 2008.
