LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card Y-Wing (75181) Blueprint First Look

April 30, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I talked about some of the upcoming “exclusive” promotions that will be happening for the LEGO Black VIP card holders which includes a special blueprint poster of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing (75181). It looks like we have our first look at this poster coming out of HelloBricks and it is said that Black Card holders can get it without a minimum purchase while non-card holders can get it with a minimum purchase. If you were looking for exclusiveness, unfortunately, you won’t find it here. Some of the other promotions that will be happening this weekend include:

– Free BB-8 (40288) with purchase of $75 or more.
– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.
– Select sale items.
– Porg in-store Make and Take build

Update: I’ve gotten concrete information from a legitimate source the that the poster is only available for Black Card holders with a purchase of $35 or more. Non-card holders will not be able to get it.

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card May the 4th Promotion?

April 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

When the LEGO Star Wars Black VIP card was announced, it was stated that there would be special promotions for card holders who purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) on the intial run. Fans have been wondering if they would ever get any promos or deals and it looks like there’s something coming next week during the May the 4th event.

There are now unconfirmed rumors that there will be a special sweepstakes for one of the platinum R2-D2 minifigures for Black VIP card holders. This comes from a reader who was told by LEGO store employees from their local store. I’m not sure of the legitimacy of this piece of news but if you’ve heard something similar, let us know in the comments below. Supposedly, there’s also a special blueprint poster of the UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) given out to card holders as well which I’ve heard from a few places.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) May the 4th Promotion Clarification

April 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Next week is the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event and there’s some clarification of the availability of the BB-8 (40288) polybag on the Shop@Home header. If you’ve received the spring catalog, the flyer for the promotion shows that the BB-8 polybag was only available on May 4. According to Shop@Home, the promo will now run through the whole weekend, while supplies last, which is good because not everyone may have time to do their shopping on that specific day and will be happy to know that they have some time to make their purchases. Some of the other promotions during the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event include:

– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.
– Select sale items.
– Porg in-store Make and Take build

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) Polybag Review

April 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Next week is the start of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 event and the main item during the promotion is the BB-8 (40288) polybag. It consists of 48 pieces and you can get it on May 4th only with a purchase of $75 or more while supplies last.

BB-8 is in the same scale as the R2-D2 from last year. The build is fairly simple and the base of it uses a basic cube technique. It also relies on five printed 4×4 dishes for the design of the body which is good.

The bottom dish is attached to some plates which connects to the bottom of the cube while having a Technic joint to attach the head to.

As for the head, it is also printed and uses the same dome piece as R2-D2 but with BB-8 design. As I said before, it attaches to the body using a Technic pin and the joint allows it to wobble. This is an easy technique but is also very effective as it simulates BB-8’s head movement.

One thing I don’t like about this build is the use of the dish on the bottom. Because there’s a stud on it, BB-8 has a tendency to tip over very frequently but he’s fine if you gently set him down.

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag is a decent one that fits nicely to last year’s build. I also understand that some fans prefer the exclusive minifigures much more than the builds. The scale of BB-8 … Continue
